1994 Ford Econoline Driver assistance Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNT THE BRAKE FLUID BOTTLE AND SOME SCORED PAINT UNDER THE HOOD AND SOME WIRING. WHEN WE CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID THIS VEHICLE DIDN'T FALL UNDER THIS RECALL. NOW FORD SAYS IT DOES AND WE HAD ALREADY REPAIRED IT AT OUR EXPENSE. WHEN WE LOOKED THIS UP ON THE NET IT SAID IT WAS ALREADY DONE IN 1996, BUT HOW COULD IT WHEN THEY SAID IT DIDN;T FALL INTO THE RECALL SINCE IT WAS A E150. *TR
