BLOWED SPARK PLUG OUT OF CYL HEAD SITTING AT HIGHWAY INTERSECTION COULD HAVE CAUSE FIRE WITH FUEL PLUG AND COIL ON TOP OF ENGINE

TOP FRONT OF FUEL TANK RUSTED OUT AND FUEL LEAKS ESPECIALLY WHEN TANK IS FULL . OTHER AREAS ON TOP ARE ALSO VERY CLOSE TO RUSTING THRU . IRONICALLY THERE WAS A RECALL FEW YEARS AGO TO REPLACE THE 2 GAS TANK HOLDING STRAPS AND THE FORD DEALER SAID THE GAS TANK WAS FINE ?!? SO EITHER HE WAS BLIND OR DIDN'T HAVE A FLASH LIGHT OR HAVE AN INSPECTION MIRROR OR WAS TOO LAZY TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK BECAUSE IT ISN'T AN EASY JOB ? I FEEL THAT FORD HAS ENDANGERED MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY'S LIFE DUE TO THEIR BLATANT SHOW OF INCOMPETENCE AND IRRESPONSIBILITY ! ONCE THE GASOLINE SHOULD IGNITE IT WILL CATCH THE GAS TANK ON FIRE RESULTING IN A FIREBALL AND EXPLOSION . I ALSO HAVE ANY MORE PICTURES IF NEEDED . THANK YOU,

MY 1999 F150 TRUCK HAS A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM AND HEATER CORE ISSUE. STARTED SMELLING ANTI FREEZE ON SUNDAY. TOOK TO A MECHANIC ON MONDAY AND SAID THERE IS AN OIL LEAK, SEEPAGE COMING FROM HEAD GASKET. THE HEATER CORE NEEDS REPLACED, BUT WHY OIL LEAK IS HAPPENING NOT SURE. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ABOUT $3500.00 TO REPAIR ONLY HEAD GASKET AND HEATER CORE. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 127,00 MILES ON IT AND ALL REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN DONE TIMELY. RESEARCHED THIS ON INTERNET AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE WAS EVEN AN ARTICLE IN AUTOMOTIVE NEWS ON 4/1/2002 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND ACCORDING TO WRITTEN ARTICLE FORD WAS FIXING THE PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS. I CALLED FORD AND THEY TOLD ME NO. THIS IS A HUGE EXPENSE, AND WITH THIS MANY COMPLAINTS AND ARTICLE THAT SAYS FORD IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT AND NO ONE CAN HELP. PRETTY MUCH EITHER FIX THE HEAD GASKETS AND HOPE IT WORKS, OR WAS TOLD NEW ENGINE NEEDED. IF THIS IS AN ISSUE, AND CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I HAVE ANY RECOURSE IN GETTING FORD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. CANNOT BE DRIVEN NOW BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE EXTREME OVERHEATING AND THEN ENGINE FAILURE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
