1992 Ford F150 review from North America
"Burn evil truck burn"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both fuel pumps failing.
Alternator caught on fire 4 times.
Transmission went out 3 times.
Lights staying on with electrical switch's in the off position.
Ciggarette lighter actaully caught on fire.
Both door handles on the inside broke every 5 months.
Entire fuel system failed at about 100,000 miles.
General comments?
The funny thing is that all the problems that I listed were not mileage related.
I paid nothing for this truck and I still got ripped, never accept free fords from your relatives.
Surprisingly enough it lasted over 300k miles.
Everything catches on fire on these trucks.
Thank god the alternator had a recall on it, fire damage in engine compartments is expensive.
The smell of the burning electrical systems still haunts me to this day.
The coolest thing ford has ever done was when they circled the problem in their emblem!
