1994 Ford Taurus fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 50, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The drivers door and front passenger door were misaligned. Nlm
Vehicle has sloshing from fuel tank acts like rear suspension is loose.
Due to the location and design of the fuel line plastic line is pushed against the floorboard and side panel weld, the weld is bent, causing a fuel leakage. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Please provide any further details.
The fuel pump on these cars is woefully inadequate and is forced to work too hard. Thus, it burns out the motor very easily. The inner and outer tie rods are a joke - again, woefully inadequate. Although it did not happen to me, I've heard of several tie rod ends suffering catastrophic failures while the car was moving!! Please investigate these parts for the taurus.
While driving at highway speed in heavy traffic vehicle would die or stalls out for no reason. Had talked to dealer & was informed the fuel pump was undersized. Vapors lock the engine.
No summary listed for this vehicle.
Have had to have 3 different fuel pumps put on car between 7/97 and 9/97. Also " engine check light comes on on a frequent basis, never know if there is a problem or if it is just lighting up.
I know of once when the second owner had this same problem and he had the fuel pump replaced. We have had this problem twice ourselves, and have had to have the fuel pump replaced both times. It failed the first time while I was at the grocery store in 1997. The second time, I was on the highway just as I tried to accelerate from a stop light. There I was, in the middle of hwy 25. Before we got it fixed the second time and before we found out what was really going on, my son had vehicle quit on him in a very busy intersection of st. Cloud, and again on his way back while driving on hwy 10. You can be going down the road and the car will quit running. You can restart it without it quiting on you again. When discussed with previous owner he told us what to look for because the person he took it to told him that it was a problem with the '94 sho's but that no recall had ever been done. We were told not to let the car's gas get below 1/4 in the warm weather because that is what causes the fuel pump to fail. We were told it is an engineering design problem that can't be fixed. That we will have to live with replacing the fuel pump every summer. I called ford, they said no recalls have been made. I called a dealer on technical papers regarding this,- they said they had no papers regarding it and that I should change the fuel filter every 25,000 to 30,000 miles. I have driven my other vehicles and never had this happen before.
