FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

8 complaints

JUST THIS PAST TWO WEEKS, WE TRADED TRUCKS. WE RECEIVED A 1992 FORD RANGER. DURING THE SMOG TEST IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL FILLER NECK WAS CRACKED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE PART COST $241 , LABOR $175 WHICH WAS A COSTLY SMOG CHECK. WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS TYPE OF REPAIR IS VERY COMMON IN FORD RANGERS, ESPECIALLY THE OLDER ONES. THE FORD CO. HAS NOW REDESIGNED THE PART, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL OR OFFER OF HELP TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POORLY DESIGNED FUEL FILLER NECK. YOU ASKED HOW OFTEN THIS OCCURS - QUITE OFTEN - THE TWO TIMES I WAS IN THE OFFICE OF THE REPAIR SHOP, I ENCOUNTERED 3 OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT WERE IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASON !! I WOULD SAY THAT IS TOO OFTEN. AND, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE FORD CO TO REPLACE THE POORLY DESIGNED FUEL FILLER NECKS AND PAY FOR THE LABOR INVOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, I THINK THAT THIS INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE MADE KNOWN TO THE PUBLIC, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE DRIVING AROUND WITH A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FUEL VAPOR LEAK, AND THAT THEY CAN GET SOME FINANCIAL HELP WHEN IT IS TIME TO SMOG THEIR TRUCK AND THIS PROBLEM IS DISCOVERED. CAROLYN NEUMAN *TR

FUEL ODORS ARE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INSPECTED VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THAT FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THE LEAK IS ACTIVE WHEN STOPPED, AND AFTER STOPPING, THE LEAK CONTINUES UNTIL THE PRESSURE IS RELIEVED ON THIS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION LINE. THE LEAKS ARE LOCATED WHERE THE POWER STEERING HOSE RUBS AGAINST THE GAS LINES. *SCC

Sep 06, 2002

IN DECEMBER 2000, OUR '92 RANGER RECEIVED A DIAGNOSIS THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER HAD FAILED BUT WHEN THE POWER BOOSTER WAS REMOVED IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS FULL OF GASOLINE DUE TO A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR FAILURE. IN FACT, ALL COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO A VACUUM LINE NOW CONTAINED GAS INSTEAD OF AIR. IN LATE FEBRUARY 2001, THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ANNOUNCED A MANDATORY RECALL OF THEIR '93 F-SERIES TRUCKS WHICH CONTAINED A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR THAT COULD FAIL, LEAK FUEL AND CAUSE A FIRE. UNTIL THE RECALL, NOT EVEN FORD MECHANICS AND ONLINE RESEARCH COULD EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. NOW THAT WE KNOW THE CAUSE, WE STILL CAN'T GET OUR TRUCK REPAIRED BECAUSE IT IS NOT A '93 F-SERIES. WE WERE TOLD BY ATCHLEY TO CONTACT FORD DIRECTLY AND HAVE DONE JUST THAT. FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH REPORTS OF OUR MODEL HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. WITH TWO WORKING PARENTS AND ONE WORKING VEHICLE, OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN LESS THAN STRESS-FREE THESE PAST MONTHS.

Sep 17, 2003

WHILE DRIVING MY 1992 FORD RANGER XLT PICK-UP TRUCK THE DRIVERS SEAT MECHANISM WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY ACTION TO INITIATE THE FAILURE EMITTED A NOISE AND SUDDENLY FAILED. MY TORSO IMMEDIATELY FELL BACKWARDS AS THE DRIVERS SEAT RECLINED COMPLETELY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND AVOID ANY ACCIDENT, COLLISION OR INJURY SAVE FOR A BIT OF A STRAIN ON MY ABDOMINAL MUSCLES WHICH WAS NOT SERIOUS. THE SEAT WILL NOT RETURN AND STAY IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION NOR WILL IT LATCH DOWN SECURELY (TO PREVENT FROM SLIDING FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS). THE FAILURE HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNUSABLE WITHOUT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT SHOULD THE FAILURE HAVE OCCURRED AT ANY OTHER TIME I MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE COULD HAVE OCCURRED. IF THIS EVENT CAN HAPPEN IN OTHER SUCH VEHICLES OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED TO INSPECT THIS MECHANISM FOR WEAR OR WHATEVER CAUSED IT TO FAIL. ALSO I AM RELUCTANT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY REPLACING IT WITH A USED SEAT SINCE A USED PART MAY BE JUST AS UNRELIABLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT NEW PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM FORD IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE INOPERATIVE DRIVERS SEAT. *JB

Feb 15, 2000

THE LENS COVERS FOR THE HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLIES (BOTH SIDES) HAVE DETERIOTED TO THE POINT THAT WE ARE NO LONGER GETING ENOUGH LIGHT AT NIGHT TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE MATERIAL THE LENS WAS MADE OFF, AND THE INABILTY TO KEEP THE INSIDE OF THE LENS CLEAN. THE COST TO REPLACE THESE LENS COVERS ARE $75 EACH. IF THIS WAS A TRADITION SEALED BEAM LIGHT, THE COST TO REPLACE WOULD BE $10. THE DETERIATION IS ALSO VERY SUTTLE. YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THE LUMENS THE LIGHT ARE PROVIDING IS BEING REDUCED BECAUSE OF THE SUTTLE CHANGE IN THE LENS COVER OVERTIME. THE LENS COVER CHANGES SO THAT IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THE HALOGEN BULB PROVIDES TO LIGHTING THE ROAD. I NOTICED THIS CHANGE WHEN I WENT FROM DIRVING THE 92 CROWN VICTORIA TO MY NEW DODGE DACODA ON SOME BACK ROADS ON VERY DARK NIGHTS. I BELIEVE THE DESIGN OF THE LENS COVERS NEED TO ADDRESS TO ASSURE THAT THEY WILL NOT DETERIORATE OVER TIME AND CAUSE THIS VISIBITY PROBLEM, FORD SHOULD BE MADE RESPONSIBLE TO INSURE THE PLASTIC FOR THESE LENS ARE AS GOOD AS THE GLASS WAS FOR THE SEALED BEAM LIGHTS. I KNOW THE DOT ALLOWED THE CAR MANUFACTURER THE ABILITY NOT TO USE THE SEALED BEAM TO PROVIDE THE BENEFIT OF THE HALOGEN BULBS BRIGHTNESS, LESS ENERGY USED PER LUMIN, AND TO ALLOW A MORE GAS EFFENTS DESIGNS. THEY SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A PRODUCT THAT WOULD LAST AS LONG AS THE GLASS ON THE SEAL BEAMS. PLEASE CALL ME AT MY WORK PHONE TO PROVIDE ME SOME FEEDBACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AFTER I PARKED AT WORK I INVESTIGATED AND NOTICED THAT THE SHOCK/SPRING TOWER WAS RUSTED SO BAD THAT IT WAS ALMOST READY TO FALL OFF. THE SPRING WAS BENT BACKWARDS AND THE SHOCK WAS BROKEN AT THE BOTTOM. AT THE FORD DEALER, THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT. HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY MAKE THAT PART FOR THE RIGHT SIDE? THE LEFT SIDE LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW. APPARENTLY ONLY THE RIGHT ( PASSENGER ) SIDE RUSTS OUT AND NOT THE LEFT. IT SEEMS THAT METAL IS INFERIOR AND CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY ONLY MAKE THE PART FOR ONE SIDE AND NOT THE OTHER. I CAN'T FIND ANY RECALL INFO ON THIS. BESIDES THE $800.00 COST TO REPAIR, THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *NLM

IN JULY OF 2001, WE WERE GIVEN A 92 FORD RANGER, TO GIVE TO OUR OLDEST SON WHEN HE GOT OLDER, BY MY MOTHER IN-LAW (WHO WAS HIS W HOLE WORLD) THAT PASSED AWAY AT THE END OF THAT MONTH. WE DECIDED TO MOVE TO IDAHO IN AUGUST, SO WE WENT TO UHAUL TO GET A TRAILER TO HAUL OUR STUFF. UHAUL ATTACHED A 6'X12' TRAILER TO THE TRUCK AND SAID OUR TRUCK WOULD BE ABLE TO PULL IT FROM VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON TO BOISE, IDAHO WITH NO PROBLEM. WE LEFT FOR IDAHO AUGUST 17, 2001. WE TOOK I-84 EAST AND BROKE DOWN JUST BEFORE DEAD MANS PASS ON THE HILLS JUST EAST OF PENDLETON, OREGON. UHAUL TOWED IT TO BOISE AND WE HAD TO CALL REPUBLIC WESTERN INSURANCE INC. WHO REPRESENTS UHAUL. WE TRIED DESPERATELY TO WORK WITH OUR ADJUSTER, BRIAN VANNEN, AND THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY, TOM LATUSH. WE ASKED TO HAVE OUR TRUCK FIXED BY AL'S CAR CARE IN BOISE. AT FIRST THEY TOWED IT THERE. HOWEVER, WHEN AL'S CAR CARE MECHANICS SAID THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, AND POSSIBLE A NEW RADIATOR, AS A RESULT OF THE TRAILER IT WAS PULLING, THEY SENT THE TRUCK TO HOMEDALE AUTO SALVAGE IN HOMEDALE, IDAHO WITH OUT OUR PERMISSION ON AUGUST 28TH. THEN THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD NOT MOVE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE DESPITE OUR REJECTION TO THE SHOP IT WAS AT AND THEY WERE GOING TO PUT A ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IN THE TRUCK THAT HAD 14,000 MILES ON IT, THE TRUCK WOULD ONLY TAKE 7-10 DAYS TO FIX, AND IT WOULD HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THREE WEEKS LATER, SEPTEMBER 18TH, THEY SAID IT WAS DONE, AND WE COULD GET IT BACK. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE SHOP TO PICK IT UP, WE DISCOVERED THAT THEY LIED TO US AND THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAS AT LEAST 67,000 AND THE NAME ON THE RECEIPT SAID JERRY'S AUTO CLINIC IN CALDWELL, IDAHO.

THE PAINT ON THE HOOD AND ROOF OF THE TRUCK IS PEELING. THE DEALER CALLED IT PAINT DELAMINATION AND ADMITTED IT AS A FACTORY DEFECT. HOWEVER SINCE MY 3YR/30000MI WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTING THEY COULD DO. I PERSUDED THE ISSUE WITH ANOTHER DEALER AND GOT THE SAME STORY. I CALLED THE FACTORY CONSUMER SERVICE LINE AND THEY REFERED ME TO THE REAGIONAL MANAGER FOR THE NORTHWEST. HE NEVER RETURNED ANY OF MY ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT HIM. I RETURNED TO MY ORIGNAL DEALER, GOT THE SAME STORY, BUT WHEN THEY LOOKED UP THE VIN# FOR MY TRUCK THEY HAD IT REGISTERED TO SOMEONE ELSE AND TOLD ME SINCE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I ARGUED THE FACT THAT I WAS THE ORIGNIAL OWNER AND COULD PROVE IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I LEFT THE ISSUE ALLONE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS UNTIL I READ AN ARTICAL IN THE OCT 1999 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS. SO I DECIDED I WOULD PICK UP THE FIGHT AGAIN. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
