Throttle body linkage "plastic cover clamshell" cracked in half at plastic hinge (oxidized plastic). Loose plastic cover wedged open throttle fully causing "dangerous life threatening" driving stuck at full throttle. I have the cover and photos if you want me to send them.

Purchased the 2002 F350 Super Duty dump truck new in 2003. It presently only has 20,200 miles on it. This past June the gas tank started leaking around the seam area. Thought that this was odd due to the low miles and soft usage the truck has had. Has there been a recall on this truck for gas tank issues? if not, there should be.....as it a safety issue.

Fuel tank straps failed while driving resulting in the tank dropping. The front of the tank contacted the road surface resulting in a leak and spilling of approximately 21 gals of fuel on the road. No fire resulted but the hazmat team was required to clean up the spilled fuel. The 2002 F 150 was towed to a Ford dealer for repair.

Spark plug blow out. # 2 plug passenger side.this happened yesterday March 11,2011. My truck has 37,000 miles on it. This is a Ford F-150, 7700 series with a 5.4 engine.where is the recall on this truck.after reading all the problems, with the same thing. What a slap in the face by Ford. And yet no recall mandated by the feds. What a country we live in?
