| The oil pan started dripping oil on my driveway. went to garage and asked if it was possible for oil pan to become porous and the garage mechanic stated that most fords and mercurys of year 1994 have developed this problem and that the ford company hasn't issued any recall but has drppped the price of an oil pan. the cost of replacement with labor was $527.05. now i find that my gas tanks are leaking and again went back to the garage and they stated that year 1994 again, had problems with fuel tanks leaking and becoming porous. i have ordered new tanks as the rear tank is leaking over the exhaust system, and the saddle tank in front is near the exhaust system and both are a danger for explosion. why isn't ford standing behind its product as the cost of replacement is excesive.*ak | |||

| Ford has a recall(93s68) to repair this on my 1990 truck. my 1994 truck isn't on the recall list, but has the same safety problem. the 1990 truck never had the problem. ford won't fix it because there's no safety notice from the govt for the '94 model year. how do i get ford to acknowledge this problem?*ak | |||
