1995 Ford F-150 complaints

AT 39,000 MILES THE OIL PAN IS SEVERLY CORRODED, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

ORIGINAL LOCKING HUBS WERE REPLACED IN JULY OF 1997. THEY WERE LOCKING THEMSELVES IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WITH NO INPUT FROM DRIVER TO DO SO. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE WAS 42,508. MILEAGE IS NOW 67,000, AND THESE HUBS ARE NOW DOING THE SAME THING. COST ESTIMATE TO FIX PROBLEM IS AROUND $600. I THINK FORD SHOULD PICK UP THE TAB FOR THIS REPAIR. *AK

A SUDDEN AND SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED FROM THE FUEL PUMP/HOSES/FITTINGS RESULTING IN FIRE WHILE BEING OPERATED ON THE HIGHWAY. (ATTORNEY FOR CLIENT)AW

HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAUSED THE RADUIS ARM BUSHING TO FAIL.

CONSUMER HAS A FIVE SPEED TRANSMISSION, AND 1ST AND 2 GEARS JUST GAVE OUT. THERE IS NO 1 AND 2 GEARS AT ALL. . DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *AK

CONTROL MODULE OPERATED BY TURN SIGNAL STALK OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY.

THE CLUTCH SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY LOOSES FLUID LEADING TO NO CLUTCH PEDAL (STAYS ON FLOOR). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, ADDING FLUID TO THE RESERVOIR TEMPORARILY ELIMINATES THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TO THE ONLY TWO OTHER PERSONS THAT I KNOW THAT OWN LIKE VEHICLES (F150, 94-95, MANUAL TRANS). THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOU ARE UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WORST IN COLDER WEATHER. NOT SURE IF RELATED TO NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: SB052797.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN JULY OF 1995 BRAND NEW.SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT I NOTICED PROBLEMS.WHAT MY TRUCK DID AND STILL DOES, IS IT HESITATES. WHEN YOU FIRST START IT UP AND DRIVE IT, IT IS FINE. BUT AS SOON AS IT STARTS TO REACH OPERATING TEMPERATURES, IT WILL START TO HESITATE. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TRIED TO FIX IT THREE TIMES ON THREE DIFFRENT OCCASIONS AND COULD NOT FIX IT. THEY DID DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I THEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AGAIN. IT IS NOW OFF WARRANTY, AND MY PROBLEMS STILL EXISTS. *AK

AUTOMATIC LOCKING HUBS LOCKED UP AND BURNED CAUSING VEHICLE TO LOOSE TRACTION IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BASCIALLY SAID UNLESS THE CLUTCH TOTALLY FAILS THEY CAN DO NOTHING ELSE. I FEEL THE VECHICLE IS UNSAFE IN ITS PRESENT STATE. BUT THEY CANNOT SEEM TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALMOST 35 YEARS. I BELIEVE WE KNOW A PROBLEM WITH A CLUTH WHEN WE EXPERIENCING ONE. ANY HELP OR KNOWLEDGE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WOULD BE MOST WELCOME. *AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK

REAR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES LOCK UP CAUSING SKIDDING AND LOSS OF CONTROL, WHEN HUMID OR RAIN CONDITIONS EXIST. THIS HAS OCCURED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL, AND TO DRAG THE BRAKE PEDAL TO CAUSE FRICTION AND DRY OUT THE DRUMS. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE DEALER NOW SAYS THAT IT IS CAUSED BY A FAILED SENSOR, REQUIRING $288.00 IN REPAIRS.

AT LESS THN 1500MILES THE COUMPUTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE IDLE BEING SO ROUGH. THE REPLACING OF THE COMPUTOR DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE TRUCK IDLES SO ROUGH THAT AT TIMES IT WILL CUT OFF AT A STOPLIGHT OR SET THERE AND JUST SHAKE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A NORMAL PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. THAT WAS PROBLEM #1. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THE BRAKES STARTED SHUDDERING BEFORE I HAD 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER TURNED THE BRAKES AND TOOK OFF THE FRONT HUBS AND TURNED THE ROTORS AND REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE SHOES. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THE AUTOMATIC FRONT LOCKING HUBS. IN MAKING MODERATE TURNS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT THE FRONT HUBS WILL SOMETIMES ENGAGE BY THEMSELVES CAUSING THE VEHILCE TO PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WITH NO NOTICE. ALSO THE FRONT LOCKING HUBS WILL AT TIMES NOT ENGAGE WHEN PUT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE , THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN THE 4-WHEEL FUNCTION WAS EXTREMELY NECESSARY. ONE EXAMPLE WAS GOING UP A SNOW COVERED ROAD ,PULLING A TRAILER WITH A MOTORCYCLE ON IT. THE AUTOMATIC HUBS JUST ON THEIR ON DISENGAGED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP IT'S FORWARD PROGRESS AND TO START SLIPPING DOWN THE HILL WITH THE BRAKES ALL LOCKED. WHAT IS BAD IS THAT I HAVE CONTACTED ARMSTONG FORD AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH AUTOMATIC HUBS. THIS IS A TOTAL LIE. THE CAR PART DEALERS AROUND THIS AREA HAVE TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THEIR FASTEST MOVING REPLACEMENT PARTS IS KITS TO CONVERT FROM AU
