2006 FORD F-150 Complaints

ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE UPON INSPECTION OF ENGINE FOUND THAT THE BACK SPARK PLUG ON PASSENGER SIDE HAD BLOWN OUT FROM HEAD AND OF COURSE STRIPPED THE TREADS FROM THE HEAD THE SPARK PLUGS ARE THE ONES THAT CAME FROM FACTORY THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED OR REPLACED VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AFTER REVIEWING INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH FORDS 4.6 AND 5.4 ENGINE AS WELL AS RESULTING IN FIRES AND CONSIDERING FORD MAKES A REPAIR KIT. IF THIS HAS EFFECTED THIS MANY VEHICLE SHOULDN'T FORD FOOT THE BILL. *TR

GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. YOU COULD STILL BE GIVING IT GAS WHILE YOU ARE PUSHING ON THE BRAKES. I SEE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE.I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES THE OTHER HALF OF MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS CAUSING ME TO JUMP THE CURB AND CRASH INTO A WALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UPHILL, THERE WAS A ENGINE MISFIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TRUCK STUTTERED & STALLED, WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED FORD TO DEALER. FAILURE CAUSED BY CORRODED, CRACKED FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE MODULE BODY IS MADE OF AN ALLOY METAL MATERIAL, AND THE MODULE IS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO THE STEEL FRAME NEAR THE GAS TANK, MOISTURE AND DIS-SIMILAR METALS (ELECTROLYSIS) CAUSED RAPID DETERIORATION OF MODULE BODY. THIS POOR DESIGN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN AT ANY SPEED/SITUATION, LOSS OF POWER STEERING & BRAKES WOULD OCCUR. RESULT COULD BE DEATH OF OCCUPANTS OR THOSE PERSONS AROUND TRUCK WHEN ENGINE SHUT DOWN OCCURS *TR

AS A PART OF REGULAR MAINTENANCE I ALWAYS HAVE WELL IN ADVANCE PERFORMED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON MY 06 F-150.ON AUG 23 2013 I HAD MY ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS ALL REPLACED AS WELL AS HAVING A HI PRESSURE BRAKE FLUID CHANGE PERFORMED AS PART OF THIS AS SUGGESTED BY THE BILL CURRIE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TAMPA. THE TRUCK HAD 83,996 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME OF SERVICE. THE TRUCK WAS RARELY DRIVEN AFTER THAT AND USED ONLY ON SHORT TRIPS.OF 10-20 MILES OR LESS AFTER HAVING THE BRAKES SERVICED. FRIDAY JULY 18TH 2014..THE TUCK HAD ONLY APPROX. 2000 ADDITIONAL MILES ON IT AFTER THE BRAKES WERE SERVICED AT BILL CURRIE FORD.I AND A FRIEND WERE DRIVING TO PICKUP A WASHING MACHINE ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY. WITHOUT WARNING. UPON RETURNING THE RIGHT WHEEL BEGAN PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND SMOKE AND A RUBBER AND PLASTIC SMELL ACCOMPANIED BY SMOKE STARTING RISING FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL WHICH WAS SCOTCHING HOT. THE HEAT WAS SO INTENSE THAT WHEN WE STOPPED THE PLASTIC WHEEL COVER FELL OFF BECAUSE ITS WAS MELTED.IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WERE THE ORIGINAL WORK WAS PERFORMED. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE CALIPER,THAT IT HAD SEIZED AND THAT AFTER ALREADY HAVING REPLACED THE FRONT ROTOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES BEFORE//THE RIGHT ROTOR AND CALIPER AND BRAKE LINE WOULD NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN..BECAUSE THEY SAID.."WE CAN'T TELL WHEN A CALIPER WILL FAIL". NOW IT HAS COST ME $2,300,00 TO GET MY BRAKES DONE..WHEN INITIALLY THEY WERE STILL IN SAFE LIMITS.WE WERE LUCKY THIS DIDN'T CAUSE A FIRE OR CAUSE THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

UPON ATTEMPTING TO START MY 2006 FORD F150 SUPER CREW CAB VEHICLE (5.4L), THE ENGINE WILL ATTEMPT TO CRANK OVER BUT WILL NOT TURN ON. UPON FURTHER DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IS NOT WORKING. IT BECAME COMPLETELY RUSTY AND EXHIBITS HOLES THROUGHOUT THE SURFACE OF THE MODULE. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD IS VERY WELL AWARE OF AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I THINK A CIVIL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD HELP THEM WITH THEM MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION TO REPAIR THE MODULE AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING ISSUE THAT FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS. UPON SPEAKING WITH FORD DIRECTLY, I WAS ADVISED THAT THEIR HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR THAT EXACT PART BUT NOT FOR THE 2006 FORD F150. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND INEXCUSABLE. THIS WILL BE MY LAST FORD PURCHASE. I'VE BEEN A FORD MAN ALL MY LIFE. NOT ANYMORE.... *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SPUTTER, AND AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE TRUCK QUIT ON ME. I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START. I ENDED UP HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND AFTER A DIAGNOSIS THAT COST $124.95 THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE WHEN BAD. THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE COST $234.44. SO ALL TOGETHER WITH PARTS, LABOR AND TAX IT COST ME $496.88 WITHOUT INCLUDING THE COST TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE IS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO THE FRAME CROSS MEMBER, AND WITH MINNESOTA WINTERS SNOW AND ROAD SALT GET TRAPPED BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS. THE PART WILL EVENTUALLY RUST, CRACK, AND THEN THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE GOES BAD. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS A PLASTIC HOUSING WITH A COUPLE SPACERS TO MOVE IT AWAY FROM THE CROSS MEMBER TO POSSIBLY ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. FORD HAD TO KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN RIGHT? *TR

AT VERY LOW MILEAGE I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS HEARING A WHINING NOISE THAT APPEARED FROM COMING THE REAR OF MY TRUCK. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE GEARS WERE BREAKING DOWN AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE GEAR AND PINION WERE REPLACED. SEEMS TO BE FIXED. AGAIN AT 57814 MILES? *TR

SHUTTERS UPON ACCEL. REAR CLUTCH PATCH REPLACED. RETURNED 04/28/2014 FOR SAME PROBLEM. THE 3RD TIME I RETURNED ON 05/29/2014. AGAIN THE SHUTTERING CONTINUES..THIS PROBLEM WAS SINCE BEEN FIXED. HOPEFULLY. *TR

FORD HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2006-2008 F150. THEY HAVE FAULTY SPARKPLUG THAT WHEN THEY NEED CHANGEDIRECTIONS SNAP. THIS RESULTS IN THEM HAVING TO RETAP THE MOTOR AND PUT DIFFERENT SPARK PLUGS IN WHICH THEY CHARGE $400/SPARK PLUG THAT SNAPS. THE PART THAT SNAPS FALLS INTO THE MOTOR THAT'S WHICH IT IS SO EXPENSIVE. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY MADE SURE TO GET NEW SPARK PLUGS AS SOON AS THERE WERE ISSUES. NUMEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE CALLED FORD AND COMPLAINED BUT THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL. *TR
