On the passenger side of the engine pan the dipstick adapter was manufactured poorly. The oil from the crankcase has caused the oring to swell and leak oil. The oil leak is getting on the starter and clutch. The oil can cause a short in the electrical system. This can cause an accident or death while driving. The oil on the clutch can cause loss of control and cause an accident or death. The oring can swell and fall off the adaptor and become lodged in the oil pickup. This will starve the motor of oil and cause a catastrophic failure of the motor while driving. This can cause an accident or death. Due to the inherent poor design the oring that is submerged in oil should be compatible with oil or be able to be replaced. It is not possible to replace the oring due to due to the terrible design of the dipstick assembly. To replace this oring with a proper oil compatible one requires the disassembly of the motor and the removal of the motor to gain access to the defective part.

1. On March 24, 2005 I started my 2002 Ford 350 truck and drove about 15' when all of a sudden the truck died. Upon trying to start it again several people came over to tell me flames were shooting down on the ground from the engine. I immediately got out of the vehicle and the flames had stopped shortly thereafter. 2. I had just recently had my vehicle serviced on 2. 21. 05 knowing I was driving to texas I had them check everything as well as whatever mileage maintenance that was due. Mileage at service date was 51,304. Everything checked out fine. 3. My truck is currently at the five star Ford dealership in fort worth texas. They have not reported the cause of the fire or damage incurred to the truck as of yet. Upon reading all the Ford fire reports I am disgusted at the denial from Ford. This is an extreme problem and needs to be corrected before too many people lose their lives.
