DESIGN OF OIL PAN ,WHICH IS MADE WITH A LIGHTER SHEET OF METAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE WEIGH LESS, CAUSES THE OIL PAN TO RUST THROUGH, AND HAVE AN OIL LEAK. THIS MAY RESULT IN A FIRE IF THERE WAS A SOURCE OF IGNITION. ALSO BRAKE PROPORTIONAL VALVE/DRUM ON PASSENGER'S SIDE/STARTER, AND ENGINE HEAD AND BLOCK RUSTED *AK

THE OIL PAN IS RUSTING THROUGH, AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. BY CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY, AND THROUGH ANNECDOTAL EVIDENCE, I HAVE LEARNED OF 13 OTHER 93-94 F150 TRUCKS (AS WELL AS SOME VANS OF THOSE MODEL YEARS) THAT HAVE HAD THEIR OIL PANS REPLACED THIS YEAR ALONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN OIL PAN RUST OUT BEFORE, SO THE EVIDENCE AT HAND LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN OVERALL MANUFACTURING DEFECT. SAFETY ISSUE: I COULD LOOSE ALL OF MY OIL WITHOUT WARNING (THE RUSTY AREA IS BRITTLE & OOZING OIL), AND THE ENGINE COULD BE DESTROYED. *AK

MY OIL PAN GASKET HAS SLID OUT OF LOCATION. NO WORK WAS DONE TO CAUSE THIS. FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND IS NOT ADDRESSING IT. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY LEAKING OIL ON THE GROUND EVERY DAY,AS PROBABLY ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER FORD TRUCK PANS. MY TRUCK IS LEAKING ABOUT 1 QUART A WEEK,THATS 52 QUARTS A YEAR , RUNNING OFF INTO OUR ENVIROMENT! I THINK IF FORD IS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR ENVIROMENT, THEY SHOULD REPAIR THESE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. ALSO FORD OIL PANS ARE RUSTING THROUGH CAUSING THE SAME IMPACT ON THE ENVIROMENT. THE DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND CONTINUES TO BE. ISO 14001 YOU TELL ME? THANKS FOR LETTING ME SPOUT OFF. I'M CURRENTLY LOOKIG AT JAPANESE AUTO TO REPLACE THIS TRUCK.

THE OIL PAN HAD RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH, CAUSING THE OIL TO LEAK OUT. AT TIME OF OIL CHANGE, THE MECHANIC HAD INFORMED OWNER ABOUT THE RUSTED OIL PAN. *AK

WHEN EVER REVERSING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL/DIE OUT FOR NO REASON; PLACED VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART. ITS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER AS OF YET. *AK

ENGINE CRANKSHAFT FAILED, ALSO FRONT WHEEL BEARING AND CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE. *AK

REPLACED LEAKING REAR ENGINE SEAL.
