1994 Ford F150 XLT review from North America
"This thing is a money pit!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My mass airflow sensor wire was broken.
My mass airflow sensor had to be replaced.
My leaf springs snapped on driver side from only 1,200 lbs. of weight in bed.
My automatic lockouts in my hubs exploded.
My EGR valve and sensor went bad.
I've gone through 3 sets of brake pads in the last 15,000 miles.
I've replaced the axle joints in the front end.
My wheel bearings went bad around the same time the axle joints did.
I've had one Courser MSR tire blow on me driving on the highway with the suggested amount of air pressure in them.
The tilt steering pinched my overdrive button wires, causing a short that ultimately fried my integral regulator in my alternator.
My oil pan is covered in JB Weld due to rusting out.
My oil pan dipstick tube snapped off.
My horn has not worked since I've purchased the truck.
My front coil springs settled so bad that 31 inch tires would rub my air dam on the bottom of my bumper.
Both my front and rear fuel pumps went out shortly after purchase.
My front (or side if you will) fuel tank rusted straight through.
Lastly the short that caused my alternator failure has left me without transportation, because this truck has nickle and dim-ed me to death.
General comments?
It smells like a lemon, but I haven't been able to figure out how to act on any legal actions.
I really love the way the truck performs when it's functional, but it's cost me more than any other vehicle I've ever owned, and has rendered me helpless on several occasions.
I will not suggest anyone else purchase a 1994 Ford F150 due to the endless problems that I've had with mine.
