1992 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM ENGINE. THE CAUSE OF WHY THIS HAPPENDED WAS UNDETERMINED.*AK *SB *NM

NHTSA RECALL 01I008000; FORD ISSUED A FUEL CROSS FLOW RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT EXPERIENCED OVER FLOW OF GAS IN ONE TANK. *AK....FORD NEVER CONTACTED CONSUMER ABOUT ANY RECALLS 93V125000 AND 01I008000 AND THEN REFUSED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. CONSUMER EXPERIENCED POOR GAS MILEAGE AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE THE FUEL WAS GOING. CONSUMER RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT WHEN PLACING FUEL IN THE REAR TANK IT WAS PUMPED INTO THE FRONT TANK WHICH WOULD FILL TO CAPACITY WHEN LEFT EMPTY. PREVIOUSLY, CONSUMER BLAMED THE POOR GA SMILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE'S AGE, BUT CURRENTLY REALIZED THAT GAS WAS BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE TANK. THIS REPRESENTED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE. ALSO, COULD BE CONSIDERED AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE SINCE FUEL WAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. *AK

THE FRONT FUEL TANK GUAGE GOES TO EMPTY READING WHEN I SWITCH TO IT,EVEN WHEN IT IS COMPLETELY FUEL.*AK

I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE WHICH HAD A "MALFUNCTIONING CHECK VALVE W/IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY" CAUSING FUEL TO RETURN TO THE OPPOSITE TANK AND THEN DUE TO OVERFILL AND PRESSURE IN TANK CAUSING IT TO COME OUT OF FUEL CAP. THIS ISSUE WAS COVERED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID'S: 93V125000/01I008000. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE SAYING IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 12YEARS/150,000MLS WARRANTEE DATE. I WAS RATHER UPSET B/C THE PAPERWORK RECIEVED BY THE NHTSA'S ASSOCIATE ADMINISTOR FOR ENFORCEMENT STATES "FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMEDY FO THESE VEHICLES FROM THIS DATE FORWARD, REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE AGE, MILEAGE, OR OWNERSHIP". I HAVE ALREADY BEEN INJURED ONCE FROM INGESTION OF FUEL WHEN I OPENED THE FUEL CAP TO INVESTIGATE WHY THERE WAS FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE CAP. *AK

VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL. THE FUEL PRESSURE VALVE WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER, AFTER. A RECALL ON DEMAND BY THE MANUFACTURER. VEHICLE STILL LEAKED FUEL ONTO THE HIGHWAY. DEALER WANTED THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IN ORDER TO REPAIR IT AGAIN.*AK *TC

REQUEST FOR RECALL ON FORD TRUCK FUEL TANK SYSTEM. *BF THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE RECALL REPAIR BUT WAS TOLD THAT IF THE VEHICLE WASN'T CURRENTLY EXHIBITING SIGNS OF THE RECALL THAT THE WORK COULD NOT BE DONE. ONCE THE FUEL TANK SYSTEM FAILED THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED. *NM

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON OR OFF, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING GAS. THE CONSUMER WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *AK RECALL#93V125000. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT BY THE FORMER OWNER. *SC *JB

AFTER FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY RECALL 93V125000 REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, AND THIS VEHICLE'S REGULATOR BOLT WAS RUSTED, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. *AK

THE CABLE FOR THE DOOR MALFUNCTIONED. SOMETIMES THE DOOR SHUT AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T SHUT. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. *AK

VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH DUEL FUEL TANKS. THE CAPACITY OF THE RECEIVING TANK EXCEEDED AND FUEL OVERFLOWED FROM THE FILLER. RECALL 01I008000 WAS ISSUED ON THIS MAKE/MODEL, AND YEAR. HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK
