Vehicle speed control: cruise control
- What is wrong
- Ford is recalling 225,000 my 1992-2003 econoline, my 1993-1995 taurus sho, my 1992-1998 crown victoria, my 1993 bronco, f-series, my 1995-1997 f-series super duty stripped chassis, my 1992-1998 mercury grand marquis, and my 1992-1995 lincoln town car vehicles.

Defect investigations
Engine compartment fires
Ea05-005 is closed with ford?s actions in recalls 05v‑017, 05v‑388, and 06v‑286, recalling approximately 6.7 million vehicles equipped with texas instruments speed control deactivation switches (scds).the brake systems in these recalled vehicles generate a vacuum that can potentially cause the scds to fail and, in certain switch installation orientations, catch fire.ford is also including the entire population of 1998 explorers.ford has informed odi that testing to determine the cause of failures in the 1998 explorers will continue after this investigation is closed.odi believes that the vehicles exhibiting the factors causing scds failure described in this report correlate well with the observed failure rates on these vehicles by model and model year.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist in the non-recalled vehicles manufactured with scds that are not included in ford?s recalls.odi will continue to monitor the non-recalled population for incidence of engine compartment fires.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.see attached closing report for details.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While turning on to my street the three bolts holding the gear box to the frame sheared off causing loss of control of the vehicle.
SEE SIMILAR GROUP WITH ALL TRUCKS ON the federal safety agency 93V‑125-00V‑424.
The filler neck leaks gas at the rubber hose. Every time you add gas, does not have to be full tank. We were given this vehicle with the leak. Cannot afford to have fixed by mechanic, we have a hose clamp around the rubber to hold it on. The actual metal filler section in rotten rusted away. One time I parked at a gas station and they threatened to call police to have me towed, I never heard of the gas line leaking like this but see alot alot of similar complaints on this year range of e150s.
1995 ford e150 steering gearbox bolts sheared off from frame causing total steering failure, vehicle had to be towed, complete loss of steering, extremely dangerous, would have been a huge wreck if failure happened moments earlier.
Dt*: the contact stated after parking the vehicle and entering a store, the contact was notified by the police that there was smoke coming from the vehicle. When the hood was opened there was evidence of a fire in the engine compartment. A police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic shop, where the problem was identified as a faulty vehicle speed control switch, as described in the recall letter # 06v286000, vehicle speed control, which the contact had just received. The part was replaced, but the brake and running lights failed to illuminate and the cruise control did not function. The manufacturer was notified. Updated 10/25/2006 -
The exhaust gas recirculation (egr) tube broke at the flexible section of the tube on my 1995 ford e-150 van with a 5.8l engine. The broken egr tube causes exhaust to leak. Ford currently has a similar recall on 1993 -1997 super duty trucks, the federal safety agency recall #97v209 (ford campaign #97s92).
Seam separated in the forward end of the fuel tank.
At approximately 11:45 pm on 03 feb 2006 we drove our 1995 ford e150 club wagon on a local errand amounting to 6-8 city blocks. Prior to this errand the vehicle had been sitting "cold" in our carport for many hours. Upon our return from the errand (20 minutes), at approx. 12:05 am on 04 feb 2006, we parked the vehicle in our carport and prior to turning off the ignition, smoke appeared from beneath the hood and began to fill the passenger compartment. After exiting the vehicle, we noted flames beneath the engine compartment. A small chemical fire extinguisher was applied, but did not stifle the fire. The van was a total loss to the fire, and "major" property damage was sustained by a neighbor's vehicle parked to our immediate left and the carport structure itself (wood and corrugated steel). Another vehicle also sustained "minor" damage. Police and fire dept. Reports have been filed. The cause from these official sources is "undetermined". Our research has shown that there are current issues with ford vehicle fires that may be related to the cruise control deactivation switch. 1995 econoline is a model containing this (or a similar) switch.
Dt: the callers vehicle caught on fire. The vehicle was sitting for about 9 hours. The fire department came to put the fire out. They did file a report. Caller said it was a 3 alarm fire. The vehicle was totaled. Caller has 50 other fords. They are the e150 and e250 cargo vans. He has concerns about the other ones catching fire. The caller said there was a recall on this problem but this vehicle was not included. The building was damaged and some of the vehicles at the business. Dealer told him his vehicle was not in recall. Manufacturer has not got back to him yet.
