1994 Ford Ranger complaints

SECOND FAILURE OF THE FULL TANK INLET HOSE ON MY 94 RANGER. BOTH HOSES FAILED AT THE SAME POINT AND HAVE CAUSED LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL TO LEAK FROM TANK. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A COMPETENT SOLUTION. AS WITH ALL COMPLAINTS TO FORD, I ASSUME THIS ONE WILL BE IGNORED AS WELL.(SECOND COMPLAINT, SAME SUBJECT). *NM

REAR TIRE ON MY 1994 FORD RANGER SEPARATED , THE TREAD CAME LOOSE FROM THE TIRE AT 70 MPH DOING BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED ME TO MOMENTARILY LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE LUCKILY AVOIDING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE CRACKED WHICH CAUSED STRONG ODOR OF GAS FUMES IN THE CAB AND SURROUNDING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CAUSED POOR MILEAGE AND FUEL SPILLAGE WHEN REFUELED DUE TO LOSS OF VACUUM IN THE FILLER TUBE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE. THE SERVICE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED.

I HAVE TWO '94 FORD RANGERS, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE LEAKING FUEL FILLER HOSES. SO FAR NO FIRES OR INJURIES, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *NM

FUEL FILLER HOSE ON BOTH OF MY 1994 FORD RANGERS HAVE CRACKED AND FUEL LEAKS WHEN FILLING TANK. SO FAR NO FIRES, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *NM

I BOUGHT MY 1994 RANGER USED. I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT WORK. REPAIRS REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF THE GAS TANK, AND/OR TRUCK BED. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I DISCOVERED THAT IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS CREATED BY PIN HOLES DEVELOPING IN THE FLOAT, CAUSING IT TO FILL WITH FUEL AND SINK, THEREBY GIVING A FALSE EMPTY SIGNAL. THIS REQUIRES ONE TO CALCULATE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF REMAINING FUEL BASED ON FUEL EFFICIENCY, WHICH IS NOT A CONSTANT FACTOR. THE DANGER IS THAT ONE MIGHT RUN OUT OF FUEL WITHOUT ADEQUATE WARNING, CAUSING AN UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER TO THE BRAKE AND STEERING SYSTEMS. *JB

FUEL FILLER HOSE ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED TWICE ON 1994 FORD RANGER PICKUP. FIRST HOSE ASSEMBLY FAILED AT 73,000 MILES ON MAY 5, 2001 CAUSING LARGE AMOUNTS OF FUEL TO SPILL WHEN FILLING THE TANK AND WHEN DRIVING. THE REPLACEMENT HOSE ASSEMBLY FAILED AGAIN AFTER 55,000 MILES ON IT ON MARCH 3, 2006. THIS FAILURE WAS AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON THE HOSE AND ALSO CAUSED LARGE AMOUNTS OF FUEL TO SPILL WHEN FILLING TANK AND WHEN DRIVING. FIRST HOSE WAS REPLACED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP AT A COST TO ME OF $650 AND THE 2ND HOSE REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AT A COST OF $480. BOTH TIMES, I PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENTS. THE REPLACEMENT HOSES WERE ALL GENUINE FORD PRODUCTS. THESE HOSE APPEAR TO BE DEFECTIVE IN MANUFACTURE SINCE BOTH FAILURES ARE IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE ON THEM. FORD REFUSES TO DISCUSS THE MATTER OF DEFECTIVE HOSES AND THE EXTREME FIRE DANGER THEY POSE. I HAVE THE MOST RECENTLY REPLACED CRACKED HOSE. *NM

THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION PUBLISHED A RECALL LIST FOR 1994 FORD RANGERS FOR THE PARKING BRAKE. FORD SAYS MY VIN DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS, BUT MY TRUCK HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE PARKING BRAKE HAS NEVER WORKED AND NOW THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT. *JB

GAS TANK FILLER NECK OR LINES LEAKING. FUEL SYSTEM NON-COMPLIANCE FOR EMISSIONS AND THUS NO LICENSE.. GAS FUMES ALWAYS PRESENT,VERY POOR MILEAGE. *JB

DT: 1994 FORD RANGER- THE TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING PARKING BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHEN PARKING AND PUTTING THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE TRUCK WILL ROLL BACK, THE BRAKE DOES NOT CATCH. THE TRUCK WILL DO THIS EVERY TIME, NO MATTER IF IT IS ON AN INCLINE OR ON FLAT SURFACE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CONSUMER BOUGHT THE TRUCK, TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES , AND THEY HAD NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. THE CONSUMER OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEW. NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENTS . CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON VEHICLE. *AK THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A GAS LEAK. UPDATED 08/14/06. *JB

I OWN A 1994 FORD RANGER WITH THE 4.0L V6 ENGINE. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK SAFELY. IF I FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY GASOLINE SPILLS FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE TANK MEETS THE INLET TUBE. THE INLET TUBE, WHICH SHOULD BE ENGINEERED TO HANDLE GASOLINE, IS CRACKED DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION. THIS DEFECT IS A DANGER TO RANGER OWNERS DUE TO THE LEAKING OF FLAMMABLE GASOLINE. THE PRICE FOR A REPLACEMENT TUBE FROM THE DEALER IS ASTRONOMICAL. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY GET A LOT OF RANGERS IN WITH THAT EXACT PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO FORD ON THE PHONE, AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME, TOO BAD. THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO BE EVIDENT IN YEARS 93-94. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER RANGER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE EXPRESSED THAT THE SAME DEFECT EXISTS IN THEIR TRUCKS. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE INJURY OR DEATH IS EXPERIENCED.*AK

THE GAS TANK FILLER NECK IS CRACKED AND LEAKS. *NM

THE FUEL FILLER HOSE HAS CRACKED ON MY 1994 FORD RANGER. THE HOSE IS VER HARD AND BRITTLE AND HAS CRACKED WHERE IT MAKES A BEND INTO THE TANK. WHEN I FILL THE TANK A LARGE QUANTITY OF GAS SPILS ON THE GROUND BEFORE THE PUMP KICKS OUT. I WAS SIMPLY GOUNG TO REPLACE THE HOSE BUT FORD WILL NOT SELL ME JUST THE HOSE THEY WANT TO SELL ME THE ENTIRE FILLER ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT $ 300. THIS IS OUTRAGES TO HAVE TO PAY THIS MUCH FOR A HOSE THAT FAILED DUE TO A POOR DESIGN.

TRY TO FUEL AT THE GAS PUMP. WHILE FUELING GAS LEAKS OUT THE RUBBER HOSE THAT GOES TO THE GAS TANK APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 5 INCHES DOWN. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE HOSE DOES THIS HAVE TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NHTDSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 94V-111 MY FORD RANGER WAS BUILT SEPTEMBER 1994

WHEN I START MY TRUCK AND ONLY DRIVE FOR A FEW MILES OR MINUTES AND THEN SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, IT WON'T RESTART FOR UP TO AN HOUR. EVENTUALLY I HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A VALVE OPENING AND THE HUM OF THE FUEL PUMP, AND THEN THE TRUCK WILL START AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO CAUSED MY TRUCK TO NOT BE ABLE TO PASS THE MANDATORY CALIF SMOG INSPECTIONS, DUE TO THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE SITUATION. I FEEL THE FORD CO. SHOULD INCLUDE THE 94 RANGER'S IN THE SAME RECALL AS THE 93'S THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

DT: THE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. CAN NOT GET IT TO ADJUST. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. . HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO AN ACTUAL FORD DEALER. A FAMILY MEMBER RUNS A SHOP, AND THEY CAN NOT ADJUST IT EITHER. WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ITSELF IT WILL NOT HOLD. NOTICED THIS AROUND SEPT 28,2005.*AK

THE LEFT FRONT SEAT BELT FAILED TO WORK PROPERLY. THE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT LATCH OR RELEASE ON THEIR OWN. DRIVER WAS FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION AND WITHOUT WARNING GASOLINE POURED OUT ONTO THE GROUND.

I AM BEING CHARGED $1100.00, BY SOUTH BAY FORD, FOR 2 REPAIRS (BOTH SAFTEY RELATED) THAT I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR. 1) WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK, ON MY VEHICLE, TO THE TOP I GET A LARGE QUANTITY OF GAS LEAKING ON THE GROUND. IT APPEARS THE COUPLING BETWEEN THE FILLER NECK AND THE TANK IS THE PROBLEM. 2) THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT LATCH WOULD EITHER NOT LATCH OR WOULD NOT RELEASE EASILY. THE LAST TIME I ACTUALLY HAD TO CUT THE BELT IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. AFTER A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH, ON THIS SITE, I FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME 2 PROBLEMS ON MY MODEL OF VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH DRIVER NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE.

NO EVENT FOR ME - YET - PROBLEM IS FUEL FILLER HOSE CRACKS NEAR THE GAS TANK CAUSING GAS AND VAPOR TO ESCAPE CREATING POTENTIAL FOR FIRE.*AK FORD SEEMS TO DESCRIBE THIS AS "ISOLATED & SINGLE INCIDENTS" YET WEB SEARCH SHOWS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

GASOLINE LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS FULL TO CAPACITY BECAUSE THE OUTER GASOLINE HOSE FAILED. THE HOSE HAD COMPLETELY DETERIORATED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY WOULD REPORT IT TO THE ENGINEERING UNIT. *AK THE FUEL FILLER IS A HOSE INSIDE A HOSE. THE INNER HOSE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE GAS TANK WHILE THE OUTER HOSE CLAMPS TO THE TOP OF THE TANK AND CONTAINS AND OVERFLOW. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE OUTER HOSE IS NOT FUEL RESISTANT THEREFORE OVER TIME IT DETERIORATES. *NM

WHILE ADJUSTING THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT, THE WELD BETWEEN THE SEAT AND SEAT TRACK BROKE. THIS CAUSED THE SEAT TO BE UNSTABLE. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER TO HAVE THEM FIX THE DEFECT. THEY WOULD ONLY FIX THE DEFECT IF I PAID FOR A NEW SEAT. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY THEIR DEFECTIVE SEAT. THE WELD SHOULDN'T BREAK UNDER THE PRESSURE OF ADJUSTING THE SEAT BACKWARDS. ALSO, IF I EVER GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT WOULD NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN ME AND COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER. I AM APPEALING TO NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS SEAT DEFECT. I HAVE TAKEN A PHOTO OF THE DEFECTIVE WELD. I'LL TRY TO ATTACH IT HERE. IF YOU DON'T GET THE PHOTO, THEN PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME FOR THE PHOTO AND I'LL SEND IT TO YOU.
