1995 FORD F-150 Complaints

1995 FORD F150 ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE. *KBOHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT # 10-0027-91 UPDATED LETTER 04/29/10 *BF

THIS COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. WHEN THE SEAT BELT TONGUE IS INSERTED INTO THE BUCKLE THERE IS THE REASSURING "CLICK" AND IT FEELS SECURE AND ENGAGED. HOWEVER, WHEN LEANING FORWARD THE SEAT BELT COMES UNLATCHED. PREVIOUSLY THIS WAS AN OCCASIONAL FAILURE, NOW IT FAILS WHENEVER LEANING FORWARD. I HAVE NOT YET MADE EFFORTS TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. I WEAR THE BELT BECAUSE LAW ENFORCEMENT IN CALIFORNIA IS VERY STRICT ABOUT SEAT BELT USE. INFORMATION STAMPED ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE: TRW RCF-67. *TR

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE PARKED INFRONT OF THE HOUSE. FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS RELATED TO THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKE IN F-150 DUE TO FRONT END. NOT THE FIRST TIME IT'S HAPPENED. I REPLACED ROTORS AND BREAKS 2 TIMES AND TOOK IT TO GET THE FRONT END TIGHTENED UP AND ALIGNED TO NO AVAIL. VERY DANGEROUS. HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/FORD-F-250-SUPER-DUTY/TOHP1M75VBFBFT9IL/P4. *TR

REFERENCE TO RECALL #05V388000. APPROX 7 YEARS AGO THE HARNESS SHORTED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN STARTING UP SAW SMOKE AND SMELLED ELECTRICAL SHORT. OBSERVE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SHORTENING OUT OF THE CRUISE CONTROL WIRE HARNESS. THIS CAUSED THE CRUISE CONTROL (I.E. HORN, SPEED SETTINGS) NOT TO WORK. I CONTACT FORD WHO ADVISED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS. A YEAR OR TWO LATER I SAW A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. AT THAT TIME REFUSED TO FIX THE WIRE HARNESS AND JUST UNPLUGGED THE ASSEMBLY. I CONTACTED NHTSA WHO ADVISED TO TRY AGAIN AND IF THEY DON'T FIX FILE A COMPLAINT. I TOOK TO FORD DEALER AGAIN WHO ADVISED THEY WILL NOT FIX EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CONNECTED TO THE ITEM THAT SHORTED OUT. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. *TR

NO WARNING WHEN I SHAFTED INTO 2ND GEAR THE 1 INCH SHAFT @ THE REAR OF THE TRANNY SNAPPED THE DRIVE SHAFT FELL FROM THE FRONT & HIT THE PAVEMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 1995 FORD F150 AND WAS NOT TAGGED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GAS IT USED AND TAG WAS REMOVED AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON THE ROAD. SO I COULD NOT TAKE TO DEALER TO HAVE RECALL DONE DUE TO NO TAG OR INSURANCE. I PUT NEW BATTERY IN IT AND DROVE AROUND MY PROPERTY AND PARKED IT AND WENT INSIDE MY HOUSE. AFTER I HEARD MY NEIGHBOR YELLING FOR ME. I OPENED THE DOOR AND HE SAID MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I WENT OUT AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I THEN PUT IT OUT AND THE TRUCK IS TOTALED. *TR

MY 1995 FORD F 150 CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH. FIRE WAS CONTAINED TO THE MASTER CYLINDER AREA UNDER THE HOOD. (PUT IT OUT MYSELF). *TR
