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.

The fuel filler neck cracked because of the plastic material used by the factory. This caused about fuel to leak out onto the ground when fueling. This was a common failure with this part. *ak the consumer was aware of other vehicle's that have experienced the same problem. *sc
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. Replacements parts are hard to get - alternatives - none found.
First occurrence of fuel spilling under vehicle while filling with gasoline. Fuel inlet hose has split at retaining ridge on connector on fuel tank.
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.
When fueling gasoline leaks under the vehicle due to cracks found in the hose.
The fuel tank vent hose allowed air to vent from the fuel tank during refueling. Cracks developed in the vent hose.
The fuel inlet hose was cracked which caused fuel to leak.
I was checking for recalls on my 1994 ford ranger and was surprised at how many recalls. The reason being that, my family has owned this vehicle since february 1994, we've only received the firestone recall notice. Ironically, I have had and still have some of the listed components that were recalled as well as as some unlisted components since 1996, these problems have cost my family any where between $1000.00 - $2000.00, every year just in repairs alone.
