MY F-150 HAS HAD NOISY BRAKES THAT VIBRATE, WEAR EXCESSIVELY FAST AND STOP POORLY SINCE MY FATHER BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW, I HAVE REPLACED PADS, ROTORS17 TIMES,AND CALIPERS TWICE, MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEM BUT FORD REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY REAR FUEL TANK SENDS ALL THE FUEL TO THE FRONT TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, UNTIL THE FRONT TANK IS FULL, THEN IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. FORD ADMITTED THAT SOME 1993 TRUCKS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND RECALLED SOME OF THEM BUT SAID THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND MY 1994 TRUCK CAN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM BUT EVERYONE I KNOW WITH A 1994 F-150 HAS THIS PROBLEM, AND WHEN I CHECKED ON FORDTRUCKS.COM, MANY 1994 F150 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, ALSO MANY 1994 F150 OWNERS ALSO HAD MY SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM.

MY 1994 F150 PICKUP TRUCK WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS FOUND TO HAVE AN OIL PAN GAKET LEAKING. THE LEAK WAS DISCOVERD IN MARCH OF 2002.

I DROVE THIS TRUCK TWO HOURS PRIOR TO FIRE WHICH RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS, WITH AN ADDTIONAL AMOUNT OF PROPERTY DAMAGE OF $2,000. THE TRUCK RAN VERY WELL THAT MORNING. I DROVE IT A DISTANCE OF APRROX. 40 MILES, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SMELLS NOTHING. I HAD THE TRUCK PARKED AT HOME FOR APPROX. 2 1/2 HOURS WHEN I HEARD THE ALARM BEEP ONCE SO I PROCEEDED TO THE TRUCK AND NOTICED A HEAVY AMOUNT OF SMOKE COMING FROM THE WHEEL WELL ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE, AND ALSO THE GRILL AREA. AT THIS POINT I CALLED 911, AND WENT BACK TO THE TRUCK TO TRY TO PULL THE HOOD RELEASE, BUT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE GRILL AREA. THE FIRE SOON SPREAD THROUGH THE FIRE WALL INTO THE INTERIOR COMPARTMENT, I PROBABLY THREW 20 BUCKETS OF WATER ON THE FIRE PRIOR TO FIRE DEPT. GETTING HERE AND WAS UN-SUCCESSFUL IN PUTTING IT OUT. FORTUNENATLY I DID NOT HAVE THE TRUCK PARKED INSIDE THE ATTACHED GARAGE AT THE TIME. OUR FAMILY HAS BEEN IN THE AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS SINCE 1948 AND I AM FAMILIAR WITH STRANGE NOISES, SMELLS, ETC.. THERE WAS NO FUEL LEAKS ON THIS TRUCK, IT WAS SERVICED REGULARLY, AND FOR A 1994 MODEL IT WAS IN EXCELLANT CONDITION, I HAVE MANY RECENT PHOTOS CONFIRMING THE VEHICLE CONDITION. I WANT TO KNOW OF ANY RECALLS THAT THIS TRUCK MAY HAVE HAD OR NOT HAD AND WOULD APPRECIATE KNOWING THE EXACT CAUSE OF SUCH A DEVASTATING FIRE. I HAD THIS TRUCK PARKED IN AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FOR THE LAST WEEK OR SO, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO SMELL OF FUEL IN THAT GARAGE, THE FIRST SMOKE I SMELLED WAS OF INSULATION
