I am writing this letter to express concern about the bus accident in which my fellow driver, arriana (bus #502, license plate number (xxx) vin number 1fdfe4fs9adb(xxx)) was involved in on january 15, 2019 at approximately 1:07 pm on highway 99 northbound near/around the (xxx) ramp. According to the accident video that was shown to me during a drivers safety meeting held by gary vickers transportation operation manager of paratransit inc sacramento ca at 9:30 am january 23 2019, bus #502 was traveling at approximately 45 mph or higher, and at impact the driver's airbag did not deploy. This bus IS endangering our lives and serious injure with improper functioning vehicles. After today I do not feel safe to drive any of the paratransit buse. I also recommend that all paratransit inc buses are re-inspected an to ensure that all buses are working appropriately and that airbags are working properly. Lastly, I also recommend that us highway safety administration conduct a thorough investigation with the manufacture who built these buses to determine if the buses' airbags are on recall since the above vehicle did not deploy. Again, as bus driver I am concerned for all bus drivers, passengers, and the public's safety. I hope that my recommendations are taken seriously and considered for further investigation. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *cw

Vehicle in motion going up hill. stalled out because of fuel filter plugged, located in fuel tank. Almost was hit by semi because vehicle stopped running. July 9, 2018. Ford no longer puts filter in tank. most fuel filters on this type of vehicle are located on frame outside of fuel tank. engineer's mistake? Repairs had to be made and charge was $1414. Contacted ford complaint div. July 20. they have not replied or answer my complaint. these vehicles should have been recalled years ago, however seems as it has gone unnoticed. mechanic who repaired vehicle agreed that it was not a good place to put the filter, do to owners reluctance to change filter on a regular basis, because of the extra cost to drop the fuel tank to access the fuel filter and pump. I am sure other owners have experienced this problem, but ignored it and had their vehicle fixed. again with loss of power going up a hill and stalling in front of heavy traffic could result in injury or death if one would be rear ended. again... Ford has not called or written with an explanation or reply. your attention would be appreciated. sincerely, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *cc *tr

- 10164508Some 2010-2020 vehicles may exhibit distorted glass with a subtle orange peel pattern or streaking etched into the surface. This is caused by hydrofluoric acid which is used in some car wash solutions as a cleaning agent. Hydrofluoric acid can attack the glass and cause visual distortion and/or discoloration on the outer surface which cannot be removed by further cleaning. If this type of distortion is found, inspect the area of the glass that is covered by the cowl and/or molding. The portion of glass that is covered by the cowl or molding will not be affected by the acid. Hydrofluoric acid damage is not a defect in material or workmanship and is not a warrantable condition.
- 10160931On vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission it is imperative that the converter pilot hub be greased with Motorcraft Multi-Purpose Grease Spray XL-5-A even if grease was not applied from the factory. Also verify that the engine/transmission alignment dowel pins are present as well as the engine crankshaft dowel pin, if equipped, when installing the transmission. Failure to adequately lubricate the converter hub greatly increases the likelihood of the flexplate cracking in the future. Missing dowels may cause a misalignment issue also resulting in a premature failure. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 307-01.
