Description of the problem | In december 2000, our '92 ranger received a diagnosis that the brake power booster had failed but when the power booster was removed it was discovered that it was full of gasoline due to a fuel pressure regulator failure. In fact, all components connected to a vacuum line now contained gas instead of air. In late february 2001, the ford motor company announced a mandatory recall of their '93 f-series trucks which contained a fuel pressure regulator that could fail, leak fuel and cause a fire. Until the recall, not even ford mechanics and online research could explain what happened. Now that we know the cause, we still can't get our truck repaired because it is not a '93 f-series. We were told by atchley to contact ford directly and have done just that. Ford refuses to repair our vehicle because there have not been enough reports of our model having this problem. Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. With two working parents and one working vehicle, our lives have been less than stress-free these past months. |
