DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL AREA, ABOUT 25 MPH. APPLIED BRAKES, AND PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE OF NO BACK PRESSURE. I HAD JUST USED BRAKES AT A STOP SIGN JUST MINUTES BEFORE, NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM. NO WARNINGS, LIGHTS, BUZZERS, NOTHING, JUST A SUDDEN TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES, FRONT AND REAR. UPON INVESTIGATING, FOUND ALL BRAKE LINES ON REAR OF VEHICLE CRUMBLING WITH RUST. I REMOVED ONE PIECE, IT BROKE COMPLETELY IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES WHILE TAKING IT OUT. FUEL LINES APPEAR TO BE IN LIKE CONDITION. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED. AFTER I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE OFF, THEN RESTARTED IT, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS, AND ABS LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THIS COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE OPEN ROAD. WHY NO PREVIOUS WARNINGS TO A BRAKE PROBLEM?*JB

1994 FORD F-150. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNABLE TO REPAIR DRIVER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT THAT HAS BEEN BLINKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. *SMD
Jan 03, 2017
AIR BAG FLASHING A CODE AND THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS. LOCAL DEALER REPORTED THE "CLOCK SPRING" HAS FAILED AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR CURRENT RECALL, REPAIR COSTS WOULD BE AROUND $150. DEALER REPORTS THAT THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT. I DID NOT HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE. RECENT RESEARCH AT YOUR SITE NOTED OTHER '94 FORDS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WANTED TO ADD TO THOSE REPORTS BECAUSE, LIKE ME, THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS THAT ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH A FLASHING AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT OR PAID FOR THE REPAIR THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A "RECALL" BECAUSE OF SOME DEFECT.
Aug 12, 2011

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING OUR 1994 FORD F150 I BEGAN TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. SMOKE BEGAN FILLING THE CAB THROUGH THE VENTS SO I RETURNED HOME AND TURNED OF THE ENGINE. 4 MINUTES LATER I RETURNED TO REMOVE THE CARSEATS AND NOTICED FIRE FALLING FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WENT TO CALL 911 AND RETURNED 4 MINUTES LATER AND FLAMES WERE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN ANOTHER 2 MINUTES THE WHOLE CAB WAS CONSUMED IN FLAMES AND BURNED UNTIL THE FIRETRUCKS CAME. TRUCK IS A LOSS AND MELTED TO MY DRIVEWAY. LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT WITH ME AND NO ONE WAS HURT. *TR
Apr 20, 2011
WITH THE TRUCK BEING OFF, SMOKE WAS RISING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT WIRES LEADING TO THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH HAD SHORTED, CAUSING THE WIRES AND WIRE CONNECTORS TO HEAT, SMOKE AND PARTIALLY MELT. THE CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS NOW OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY WITHOUT BEING COMMANDED, THE TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK AND THE FLASHERS OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY. *CN

WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE THROTTLE (PEDAL) SUDDENLY MOVED OF ITS OWN ACCORD TO A COMPLETELY FULL THROTTLE POSITION. THE PEDAL MOVED ON ITS OWN FROM BENEATH MY FOOT, JUST AS IT WOULD IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED. IT STAYED IN THIS STUCK POSITION WHILE MEANWHILE, TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL, I STOOD ON THE BRAKE TO AVOID ACCELERATING TO TOP SPEED. BY CONSTANT APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE SPEED AT AROUND 85 MPH, BUT NOT WITHOUT EXTREME EFFORT. MEANWHILE I TRIED PUSHING ALL OF THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCHES, WITH NO EFFECT. I ALSO TRIED PUMPING THE BRAKE IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE CRUISE CONTROL RELEASE SWITCH TO ACTIVATE, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. I ALSO TRIED SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE WAS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO REDLINE SO I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE. I CONTINUED THIS WAY FOR SEVERAL MILES. TRAFFIC WAS LUCKILY LIGHT ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES. I WAS AT THE POINT OF HAVING TO PULL OVER AND SWITCH THE IGNITION OFF WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "POPPING" SOUND FROM UNDER THE DASH (STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER). WHEN THE "POP" OCCURRED THE THROTTLE RELEASED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL IT NORMALLY. BY THEN MY BRAKES WERE SMOKING AND ALMOST ON-FIRE. THIS OCCURRED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON MARCH 17, 2009 AND THE SECOND WAS ON MARCH 27. THE FIRST TIME IT CLEARED ITSELF AFTER A COUPLE OF MILES. THE SECOND TIME WAS MUCH WORSE AND LASTED FOR AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX MILES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER (LA POINT FORD, SALT LAKE CITY) AFTER IT OCCURRED ON THE 27TH. THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL TESTS THAT HE RAN. THEY SUGGESTED DISCONNECTING THE CRUISE CONTROL TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM WOULD STILL OCCUR, JUST IN CASE IT WAS THE ENGINE COMPUTER RATHER THAN THE CRUISE CONTROL. HOPEFULLY I WILL SURVIVE THE TEST. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES IT HAPPENED I WASN'T NEAR ANOTHER CAR. HAD I BEEN, I WOULD HAVE RUN INTO THEM BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO REACT. IF THIS OCCURS TO OTHERS SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED. *TR
Mar 27, 2009
FORD F 150 PICK-UP CAUGHT ON FIRE AT APPROXIMATELY 5:00 A.M., AFTER HAVING BEEN PARKED SINCE 4:30 P.M. THE EVENING BEFORE. IT BURNED COMPLETELY UP BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVEN ARRIVED. *TR
May 19, 2008
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY 1994 F- 150. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD DISCONNECT THE CRUISE CONTROL UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T HEAR FROM THE DEALER FOR A FEW MONTHS, SO I CALLED THEM AND THE DEALER HAD ME BRING IN MY TRUCK. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ALREADY FIXED AND THAT ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER PART. HOWEVER, THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED FINE UNTIL I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL. *TR

WHILE SHIFTING THE GEARS THE CLUTCH FAILED TO MOVE ON ITS OWN. A LOUD BANGING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO THE SOLENOID SWITCH. *AK
Nov 18, 2004
PROBLEM RELATES TO THE BUSHING IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE. IT FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION. IT NOT ONLY ACTS AS THE LUBRICATING BUSHING IN THE LINKAGE, BUT ALSO THE KEEPER THAT HOLDS THE CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE TOGETHER WHERE IT JOINS THE ACTUATING ROD OF THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER. THE FIRST TIME THAT IT FAILED, AND ALL SUBSEQUENT TIMES, THE CLUTCH PEDAL DROPS TO THE FLOOR, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITH NO WAY TO SHIFT USING THE CLUTCH. IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND THE OPERATOR KNOWS HOW TO PERFORM A SHIFT WITHOUT THE CLUTCH PEDAL, THE VEHICLE CAN BE DRIVEN TO A SAFE LOCATION. OTHERWISE, ONE IS LEFT AT THE PLACE THAT IT CAME APART, WONDERING HOW TO CONNECT THE LINKAGE TOGETHER SO THAT THE VEHICLE CAN BE SHIFTED. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, A REPLACEMENT BUSHING IS REQUIRED. IT SNAPS INTO THE LOOP OF THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER ROD, WHICH THEN SNAPS ONTO THE CLUTCH PEDAL LINKAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES DURING THE 10 YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, THE FIRST TIME AT ABOUT 3 YEARS OF AGE. THEN APPROXIMATELY EVERY 18 TO 24 MONTHS. TODAY THE BUSHING BROKE THAT I REPLACED ABOUTH 3 MONTHS AGO. I NOW ALWAYS CARRY A NEW SPARE BUSHING. I PUT IN THE SPARE BUSHING, AND AFTER ABOUT 4 SHIFTS, THE NEW BUSHING BEGAN TO FAIL. A PIECE CRACKED OFF. I HAVE THE MOST RECENTLY REPLACED BUSHING IF NEEDED FOR RESEARCH. *AK

THIS IS AN A SERIOUS ONGOING PROBLEM. THIS FORD F-150 HAS DUAL GAS TANKS, FRONT AND REAR. IN THIS TRUCK THE FRONT TANK IS SOMEHOW GETTING OVER FILLED AS YOU DRIVE ALONG AND SPEWS FUEL. REMOVE THE CAP AND GAS GUSHES OUT. A LITTLE GOOGLING SHOWED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LOT OF F-150S. HAVING HAPPENED TO A NUMBER OF THESE TRUCKS THERE MUST BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SAID WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO FIX IT. THIS MUST BE COVERED BY A SAFETY RECALL. MOST RECALLS SEEM TO BE FOR RELATIVELY MINOR ISSUES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

I ALSO HAVE THE BROCKEN PLASTIC DASH MOUNT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH CAUSES EXTREME DASH BOUNCING AT THE SLIGHTES BUMP.

TUESDAY AFTER SWITCHING GAS USE FROM THE FRONT TO REAR WHEN I STOPPED AT A LOCAL STORE, GAS WAS DRIBBLING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OUT OF THE GAS CAP AREA FROM MY REAR TANK. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME PRESSURE CAUSED THE GAS TO PRACTICALLY EXPLODE OUT OF THE GAS CAP BY THE GALLONS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BE CALLED TO ENSURE THAT MOVING THE TRUCK DID NOT START A FIRE AND TO CLEAN THE SPILL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THROUGH FORD FOR EARLIER DUAL TANK MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER :93V125000). MANY OTHER 1994 F-150 OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE BUT A RECALL HAS NOT YET BEEN ISSUED (EXAMPLE: NHTSA COMPLAINT # 10533605). I ASSURE YOU THAT THIS WAS INDEED A HUGE FIRE HAZARD! ACCORDING TO YOUR FILES, IN 1993, FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THROUGH RECALL 93V-125. WHY HAVEN'T OTHER OWNERS WITH DUAL TANKS BEEN NOTIFIED?

BRAKE LIGHT FUSE FAILURE. TROUBLE SHOOTING FOUND A SHORT AT THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH ON TOP OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHORT WAS CAUSED BY THE SWITCH LEAKING BRAKE FLUID THRU IT TO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ABOVE AND WAS STILL COOKING LONG AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. I REPLACED THE SWITCH AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE PARTS MGR @ TEXAS MOTORS DEALERSHIP IN FT WTH, TX ABOUT THE DANGER OF THIS DISCOVERY HE LAUGHED AND REPLIED "WE SELL LOTS OF THOSE SWITCHES". THAT WAS NOVEMBER OF 2004. THE TRUCK IS A 1994 F150. THEIR FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW IS TO SIMPLY BYPASS THIS SAFETY SWITCH WITH A JUMPER WIRE INLIEU OF REPLACING A POORELY DESIGNED PART WITH A BETTER DESIGHED PART AND LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON SAFETY. IS THIS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IN THE FUTURE FROM FORD? SHOULD I SELL MY NEW SPORT TRACK BEFORE IT BURNES DOWN AND BUY ONE FROM ANOTHER MFG? I HOPE FORD WILL TREAT THIS PROBLEM BETTER THAN THEY DID THE FUEL TANKS ON THE PINTO AND CROWN VICTIRIA. I HOPE THIS IS NOT WHAT THE AMERICAN WAY HAS COME TO. THANKS. *AK

APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE "CLOCKSPRING" IN THE STEERING COLUMN OF THE 1994 FORD F-150. WHEN THIS BREAKS, AS IT APPARENTLY OFTEN DOES, THERE IS AN OPEN CIRCUIT BETWEEN THE AIR BAG & THE SENSORS RENDERING THE AIRBAG INOPERABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE MANUFACTURER YET, ONLY THE DEALER. I JUST WANTED OTHERS TO KNOW OF THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. I FOUND A FORUM ON A GOOGLE SEARCH ON MY PROBLEM (1994 FORD F-150 FLASHING A CODE 32). WITH PARTS & LABOR THIS IS GOING TO BE APPROXIMATELY $250.00 TO REPAIR. FORD TRUCK ENTHUSIASTS FORUMS SUBJECT: "94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" NON-MEMBER "94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I JUST BOUGHT A 1994 FORD F150 EXT. CAB 4X4 AT AN AUCTION FOR 7700. RUNS AND LOOKS GREAT BUT HAS WIRING PROBLEM. NO CRUISE OR HORN, AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS, BLINKERS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, INT. LIGHT COMES ON DIM WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, NO STEREO, AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGE READS FAR LEFT AT LOW IDLE BUT FINE OTHERWISE. NON-MEMBER 1. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU, BUT I FEEL YOUR PAIN. MY AIR BAG LIGHT JUST STARTED FLASHING A CODE 32 (OR 23). MY CRUISE-CONTROL AND HORNS ALSO QUIT WORKING. I'LL LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING WHEN I GET MINE FIXED. GOOD LUCK. NON-MEMBER 3. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I'VE GOT MUCH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 94 LIGHTNING. NO HORN, NO CRUISE, AIR BAG 32 CODE. SOME ONE TOLD ME IT COULD BE THE SLIP RINGS. ANY UPDATES? CLUB FTE MEMBER 5. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" NO HORN, CRUISE, AIR BAG LIGHT ON. REPLACE CLOCKSPRING. 7. RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE FOR SOME REASON ALL THE TRUCKS WE HAVE OWNED FROM 92 ON UP SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN WITH WIRING. NON-MEMBER 8. "RE: 94 F150 ELECTRICAL TROUBLE" I HAVE THE SAME TRUCK. THE CLOCK SPRING WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. MY TRUCK IS GOING ON ITS THIRD CLOCK SPRING. ACCORDING TO THE LOCAL DEALER THEY ARE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CLOCK SPRINGS AND THEY ARE SELLING A LOT OF THEM. *LA

MY F-150 HAS HAD NOISY BRAKES THAT VIBRATE, WEAR EXCESSIVELY FAST AND STOP POORLY SINCE MY FATHER BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW, I HAVE REPLACED PADS, ROTORS17 TIMES,AND CALIPERS TWICE, MY FATHER WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEM BUT FORD REFUSES TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM. MY REAR FUEL TANK SENDS ALL THE FUEL TO THE FRONT TANK WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, UNTIL THE FRONT TANK IS FULL, THEN IT SPILLS ALL OVER THE GROUND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. FORD ADMITTED THAT SOME 1993 TRUCKS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND RECALLED SOME OF THEM BUT SAID THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND MY 1994 TRUCK CAN'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM BUT EVERYONE I KNOW WITH A 1994 F-150 HAS THIS PROBLEM, AND WHEN I CHECKED ON FORDTRUCKS.COM, MANY 1994 F150 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, ALSO MANY 1994 F150 OWNERS ALSO HAD MY SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM. WHEN WILL YOU GUYS PRESSURE FORD INTO FIXING THESE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. *AK
