ON SUNDAY 12/14/14 AT 7PM MY 2008 FORD F-150 SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS GOING 65 MPH DOWN THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY. I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR HOURS WAITING FOR IT TO BE TOWED. TURNS OUT THE FUEL PRESSURE MODULE (FPM) THAT IS MOUNTED IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK ON A CROSSMEBER OF THE FRAME UP ABOVE THE SPARE TIRE WAS THE CAUSE. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE 2004-2008 FORD F-150 THAT USE THIS FPM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD F 150. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, EXHAUST FUMES EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED DAILY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK HOME ON THANKSGIVING AND IT BLEW OUT A SPARK PLUG (SECOND INCIDENT, DIFFERENT CYLINDER). I WAS LATER TOLD THAT AN ENGINE FIRE COULD OCCUR FROM THE FUEL/FUMES COMING FROM THE OPEN CYLINDER HEAD. *JS

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT TAKES A FEW TRIES TO GET IT TO CLICK AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T ENGAGE ALL THE WAY AND THE LATCH COMES OUT. A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1 LEAD THE DISCOVERY OF KNOWN ISSUES WITH SPARK PLUGS AND REMOVAL. 3 OF THE PLUGS WERE LOOSE. *TR

MOTOR EJECTED SPARK PLUG PASSENGER SIDE THIRD ONE BACK. SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT SLOW SPEED AND SEVERE RATTLING AND LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE WHICH COULD EASILY RESULT IN ACCIDENT. FORD SERVICE INDICATED THAT IT WAS CAM PHASING OR OTHERWISE KNOWN AS INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING OVER RETARDED PROBLEM. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED VIA RECALL. *TR

THE CLEAR COAT PAINT IS PEALING OFF THE FRONT TRUCKER AROUND THE HEADLIGHT AND FRONT BUMPER. *TR

STARTED VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES, DROVE FROM HOME TO LOCATION APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AWAY. DURING THE DRIVE, I COULD FEEL A "HESITATION" DURING THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING OF GEARS. HESITATION SEEMED TO PROGRESS DURING DRIVE TO LOCATION. ARRIVED AT LOCATION WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. 3 HOURS LATER I LEFT LOCATION, IN ROUTE BACK TO MY HOME, AND NOTICED SAME HESITATION. ON THE WAY HOME THE "TRANS FAULT" CODE CAME ON AND THE "O/D OFF" INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING ON AND OFF. I ARRIVED AT MY HOME WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. WHILE AT HOME, I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT DID NOT SHIFT FOR ALMOST 3-5 SECONDS, THEN THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO ABRUPTLY SHIFT INTO REVERSE. AT THIS POINT MY VEHICLE IS NOT OPERABLE FOR FEAR OF CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE. *TR

WHEN TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT THE STEERING GETS STIFF AND JERKING CAUSING OVERSTEER AND ERRATIC MOTION. ADDED POWERSTEERING FLUID BUT DID NOT HELP. *TR
