Read complaints for FORD F250 (1990)
Fire broke out in the dashboard.there was a recall regarding the ignition, however consumer was informed vehicle was not included due to the vehicle identification number.
Continuingstalling of the engine since shortly after i purchased the vehicle.the truck had only 27000 miles on it when i purchased it.i thought itneeded a tune up.however, a complete tune up which i had at approximately 50,000 miles did not fix the occasional stalling.iwas told after a diagnostic systems check that it was the egr valve and i had that replaced.it did not solve the problem.now, with the heat of the summer the problem is getting worse with it stalling wheneveri slow down for curves, highway exits,etc.when i have asked a local ford dealer parts person about the stalling problem they have still pointed to the egr valve.but after hearing yesterday's news report about the tfi module and comparingmy stalling problems to what i have learned, i would say that it is the tfi module.this stalling could definitely cause an accident.to replace the module the dealer cost would be $99.87 for the part,plus labor.i realize that after 3 years of owning this vehicle i now have 82,000 miles on it but this has been an on going problem and it is not safe.if ford has known about this for this long of a time it should repair this problem or repay me for having it fixed.

I have a 1990 ford f250 with duel gas tanks. The first problem was the truck would die for what seemed like no obvious reason. I had a diagnostic done to no avail. The truck would run fine cold, but once it got hot it would die. Finallyi took it to a local mechanic and he found it was the tank selector switch which lets me choose the front or rear gas tank. This first switch cost me $300.00 to fix. Its been about 8 months since the switch was replaced. It just went out again. This time i replaced it myself with a switch from a ford dealer. When i unhooked the switch from the harness it was melted on the inside of the switch and the harness was almost unusable. I went to a local ford dealer and the sales clerk said that this is a common problem because he sells these switches a lot and this was not the first time he heard of the switch melting. This is a fire waiting to happen. Ford should recall this part and fix the root of the problem.

Recall 93v125000 performed in 1994, vehicle has same problem again.
Reference nhtsa campaign # 93v125000 recall # 93s68.(1) the vehicle had been driven about one hour - while parking in front of the house on the street, i noticed a strong smell of gasoline.i was running on the back tank and quickly switched to the front tank.after shutting off the ignition and exiting vehicle i saw gasoline spilling out of the front tank from under the cap (still on). This continued for some 5-10 seconds and then stopped.when i loosened the cap, the flow of gasoline restarted - and stopped again when cap was tightened back down.(2) thankfully, the failure did not result in fire or loss of property - only fuel loss and personal anxiety and expense.(3) web research revealed the above recall and when speaking to a fmc representative at the hotline i was advised that this vehicle had received the recall repair.i was also advised that the warranty period had expired dec.31, 2001 and i would be responsible for any repairs.when presented to the dealership for repairs, i was advise that the fuel pump valve repairs would be my responsibilty and not covered by fmc.why does the recall repair fail? and why does the consumer have to foot the bill?
