2006 FORD F-150 Complaints

FUEL PUMP MODULE, ENOUGH SAID FORD. TIME TO MAKE A RECALL. NO RECALL BUT THERE'S AN UPDATE TO MOUNT IT ON STUDS...THINK THERE'S AN ISSUE? *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED BUT THE BODY WAS IN GREAT CONDITION AND IT RAN GOOD ON THE TEST DRIVE. AFTER THREE DAYS I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL IN THE CAB AND WHEN OVERTAKING A VEHICLE IT STARTED MISS FIRE. FORTUNATELY THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM HAD ME TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC HERE IN TOWN WHO SAID THAT IT WAS THE NUMBER FIVE IGNITION COIL WHICH HE REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY THE PROBLEM CONTINUED SO I TOOK IT BACK AND IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH HE REPLACED (400.00) BUT IT RAN WELL. I DROVE IT TO PA. AND BACK WITH NO PROBLEM BUT YESTERDAY THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AND NOW IT IS COIL NUMBER 2 (73.00). THE MECHANIC WHO HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR 28 YEARS IN OUR FARM TOWN IN WHICH HE SERVICES NUMEROUS FORD TRUCKS SAID THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH FORDS FROM THE COILS TO THE ILL DESIGNED SPARK PLUGS. NOW THAT I HAVE READ THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WHICH ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH MY PROBLEM INCLUDING THE FUEL SMELL MAKES ME WONDER IF THE NHTSA IS ON THE TAKE FROM FORD TO OVERLOOK CERTAIN PROBLEMS. I THINK THAT I WILL USE SOME OF MY WELL CONNECTED FRIENDS IN CONGRESS TO LOOK INTO THIS IF I DO NOT GET A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

2006 FORD F-150 HARLEY DAVIDSON HAS COIL MISFIRE PROBLEM. ALL EIGHT COILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN THE LAST 24 MONTHS AND THREE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. CAT CONVERTER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD. ALL PLUGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MISFIRE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE HAS AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL RESONATING. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO FIND THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS DEALER SERVICED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED HEAD-ON INTO A TREE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 50 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD BEEP AND THE SAFE MODE SIGNAL ILLUMINATED THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SHOULDER AND AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,100.

TRUCK KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. IF YOU WAIT 45 MINUTES TO RESTART IT WILL START AND IDLE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS AND SLOWLY DIE. OR YOU CAN DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE AND IT WILL DIE. REPAIR IS FOR THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. BECAUSE OF WHERE IT IS MOUNTED ON THE TRUCK IT CORRODES VERY FAST ESPECIALLY IN SNOW STATES DUE TO THE SALT ON ROADWAYS. FORD CAN YOU PLEASE DO A RECALL OF THIS PART AND REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST! *TR

MY 2006 FORD F150 HAS THE POSITRACTION REAR END. ITS WENT OUT AROUND 25000 TO 30000 MILES, WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER FIXED IT NO CHARGE. NOW THE TRUCK HAS A LITTLE OVER 62000 MILES AND THE REAR END HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILES ON THE REAR END. WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60000 MILES SO ITS NO LONGER COVERED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ITS HAPPENED ON THE SAME TRUCK. *TR

WHILE TURNING TRUCK STARTED TO EMIT NOISES, SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST PROBLEM, MANIFOLD ETC. NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALL GAUGES WERE NORMAL. THEN WHILE DRIVING, AS TRUCK SHIFTED DOWN TO OVERDRIVE, NOISE RETURNED, LOSS OF POWER, BUT AGAIN NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, GAUGES ALL NORMAL. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, HAVE BEEN TOLD, ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED,(81,250 MILES/130,000KM) FOR A MEAGER $6000. VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED SINCE NEW, OIL CHANGED EVERY 3125, MILES/5000KM (BY DEALER) STILL NO SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, GAUGES STILL READING NORMAL. MANUFACTURER WILL DO NOTHING. LOOKING FOR LAWYER WHO WOULD LIKE TO START CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST MANUFACTURER, CONSIDERING ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE FOUND ON THE 2006 F150 V8 TRITON SINCE STARTING RESEARCH YESTERDAY, THERE ARE A LOT OF US THAT FORD IS NOT WILLING TO ASSIST. *TR
