45 of the
183 complaints about the 1993 Ford F-250 are about the
fuel system — 25% of everything
reported for this model year.
Half of the failures with a mileage on record happened before
250,000 miles.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 FORD F-250. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL CAP SHRANK AND FUEL SPEWED FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER HE ATTEMPTED TO FUEL THE FRONT TANK FIRST. AS THE FUEL TRAVELED TO THE REAR TANK, IT SPEWED OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A FIRE HAZARD. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE (650 AUTOMALL DR, ROSEVILLE, CA 95661, (888) 656-7577), BUT THE MECHANICS REFUSED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250,000.
