What 1994 Ford Econoline owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Fire to vehicle caused by defective speed control deactivation switch.
Fire caused by a 1994 ford econoline 150 cruise control switch ignited.
The speed control deactivation switch caught on fire and burnt the brake fluid bottle and some scored paint under the hood and some wiring. When we contacted ford they said this vehicle didn't fall under this recall. Now ford says it does and we had already repaired it at our expense. When we looked this up on the net it said it was already done in 1996, but how could it when they said it didn;t fall into the recall since it was a e150.
Accelerator pedal sticks on high rpms when very cold/rear seat belts retractor will not feed out frequently.
Tl*- the contact called about the federal safety agency campaign 06v286000. He states that the vehicle was parked in driveway and caught on fire, at the time of the fire vehicle was not running. The vehicle's the speed control de-activation switch was the source of the fire. At the time of the incident there wasn't a recall on the vehicle so the contact paid for the repair done on vehicle. The contact stated that once the recall was posted, he took the vehicle to the dealership and they verified that the repair on vehicle had been done previously. Once the dealership confirmed that repair was done on vehicle, the contact called manufacturer so he could get reimbursed for repair. Manufacturer reimbursed him for 50 percent of what he paid for, now contact is looking to get reimbursed in full. The contact can provide a copy of invoice for repairs done by shop, letter that ford send him and also a copy of the check that ford sent him.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle caught on fire while parked outside a church. The fire department was contacted, and extinguished the fire. The fire department determined the fire originated from under the hood and was likely an electrical wiring problem. The vehicle was totaled and there were no problems prior to the incident. The contact saw a recall the federal safety agency campaign id # 06v86000 regarding the vehicle speed control, but the contact had not yet received a recall letter.
While operating vehicle at low speeds throttle started to stick, causing a gradual acceleration to 45 MPH. In an attempt to release throttle, driver pressed on accelerator pedal once which only caused throttle to stick at a higher speed, driver was able to stop vehicle by turning ignition off. Dealership has not examined the vehicle. *ak
Steering column: anti-lock brake light on all the time, airbag light blinks in a pattern, horn and cruise control quit working at the same time. Transmission: transmission shudders when shifting gears in the higher gears.
Sudden acceleration and throttle sticking at low speed for 2nd time in three week time.mechanics unable to find cause. I have researched the federal safety agency site and there are many reported similar incidents of throttle sticking by other ford truck consumers. How many incidents do you need to demand that ford do a recall. How many people must be seriously injured or die.
