ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
APPROXIMATELY 4-5 MONTHS AGO I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ENGINE SURGING WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. UNABLE TO FIND ANY VACUUM LEAKS, I INSPECTED THE FUEL FILLER NECK TO FIND IT BADLY DETERIORATED IN THE AREA JUST ABOVE THE GAS TANK. I REPLACED IT WITH A NEW OEM QUALITY NECK. AT THE SAME TIME I REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR, REBUILT THE FUEL INJECTORS AND REPLACED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. AFTERWARD, I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY SURGING UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING SO BADLY THAT I QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND STEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, NARROWLY AVOIDING A REAR END COLLISION. SINCE THEN I HAVE DRIVEN THE TRUCK ABOUT 100 MILES WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN 90,000 MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED. IT MAY NOT BE RELEVANT TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS ENGINE WAS BUILT WITHOUT AN EGR VALVE AND EGR VACUUM SOLENOID. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FILLER TUBE GOING TO THE GAS TANK RUPTURED. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK, GAS SPILLED ON THE GROUND. FUMES ARE ALWAYS AROUND THE TRUCK. I PAID TO HAVE THIS TUBE REPLACED. THE TRUCK HAD 53 K MILES. NOW IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING AT 74 K MILES. I THINK THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND IS COSTLY TO KEEP REPAIRING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON LONG TRIPS, OFTEN IN COLD, WET OR SNOWY WEATHER, THE ENGINE WILL OCCASIONALLY REV OUT OF CONTROL. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF THE THROTTLE CABLE ICING UP BECAUSE TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING IT (WHICH IS THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO WHILE STILL MOVING ON ICY ROADS) TEMPORARILY RESOLVES THE ISSUE. THEREFORE, IT SEEMS TO BE MOST LIKELY AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) ARE REGISTERED IN THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY, THEREFORE NO INFORMATION EXISTS BY WHICH TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TO DEALERS AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY CANNOT HELP ME UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP. AS I SAID, IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AFTER MANY HOURS OF DRIVING ON LONG TRIPS, WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE IN THE SHOP. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL FILLER HOSE CRACKED WHICH RESULTED IN A LEAK. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE FUEL TANK THERE WAS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THAT LEAKED AROUND THE FILLER NECK AND FORMED A LARGE PUDDLE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE FILLER HOSE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE HOSE CRACKED AGAIN. NO FURTHER REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE AT THIS TIME. *AK UPDATED 12/27/2005 - *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
MY 1994 MAZDA B3000 PICKUP (I.E. FORD RANGER) LEAKS GASOLINE WHEN BEING FILLED AT THE FILLING STATION DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK FILLER NECK. FUEL SPILLS ON THE GROUND OF FILLING STATION (APPROX 1/2 GAL) AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. COST TO REPLACE FUEL FILLER NECK IS $280 FROM FORD DEALERSHIP, NOT INCLUDING LABOR - THIS IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE FOR A RUBBER HOSE. MANY OTHER RANGER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS SAME PROBLEM, THUS INDICATING THAT THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION OF THE FILLER NECK. *NM

CONSUMER HAS PLACED ON ORDER FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. CONSUMER HAD REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT 4 YEARS. HOWEVER, PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A 1994 MAZDA B3000 WITH 75000 MILES AND AFTER TEN YEARS THE TANK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN AN AREA THAT IS PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS AND HAS NO STREES OR FLEX . I BELEIVE THAT THIS TANK WHILE IT IS TEN YEARS OLD IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE RESULT COULD BE FIRE FROM THE LEAKING FUEL . THE CRACK IS NOT AT A SEAM . THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED IN ROUGH TERRAIN CAUSING STRESS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:ABS WARNING LIGHT
DURING A TRIP FROM HOME TO STORE, THE DASH LIGHTS FOR THE ABS AND BRAKE SYSTEM CAME ON WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. ANOTHER DRIVER MADE A U-TURN IN FRONT OF ME PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL AT THE STORE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO APPLY THE BRAKES IN AN EVASIVE MANUEVER. THE BRAKES L,OCKED UP AND CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE COLLISION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THEY INDICATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN 3 REVISIONS OF THE ORIGINAL ABS SYSTEM VALVE, INDICATING THAT MAZDA WAS AWARE THAT THERE HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS VALVE. WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INDICATION OF A RECALL OR PROBLEM.*AK
