This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
1995 Ford F250. Consumer writes in regards to problems with leaking gas line, brakes, transmission and several other issues with vehicle. Consumer states unsatisfactory customer service from several dealerships. The master cylinder, air pump, brake pads, serpentine belt, brake lines, alternator, cruise control sensor, battery, headlight control and upper switch were all replaced. Also, the starter solenoid switch was replaced, as well as the oil pan, that was rusted. The tires were replaced, due to cracking.
I have a dual fuel tank system. The rear tank is pumping gas into the forward tank. The forward tank is overflowing past the filler cap and spilling to the ground. These symptoms are indentical to the 1993 F-series fuel systems problems NHTSA id # 00V-424, mfg campaign # 00S57. I just went to the local Ford dealer. They looked up my VIN and said that my vehicle is not listed under this recall. The dealer is more than willing to help. I was told that the service technician would first have to troubleshoot the cause and find out if the failure is due to the same part being defective as the recall items. Then I would have to battle Ford to pay for the fix. I was told that they sometimes have trouble getting Ford to pay for repairs if the vehicle is not listed on the recall, even if it is the same part malfunctioning. I am going to begin repairing the vehicle soon and would appreciate any help you can give me. Having seen that these same symptoms have appeared on earlier models I have come to the conclusion that this is not an isolated incident and suspect that other same year vehicles as my may develop this problem.
