2006 FORD F-150 Complaints

2006 FORD F150 5.4L ONLY 32K MILES, MUST SPEND OVER $400 DUE TO BAD SPARK PLUG DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V208000(SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS WAS THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. LATER, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE BUT THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ABRUPTLY APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RESISTANT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM HOSES WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. SHE CALLED THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE RECALL AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE REPAIR WORK PERFORMED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS, I WAS EXPERIENCING A ROUGH IDLE, LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON FLAT SURFACES AS WELL AS CLIMBING HILLS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS 2 BAD COIL PACKS. THEY FIXED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AND THEY REPLACED IT. DURING THIS TIME, I COULD ALWAYS SMELL THE ODOR OF GASOLINE. AFTER THE LARGE EXPENSE I WAS ASSUMING, I CALLED THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY 2006 F-150 LARIAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER OF 22 YEARS APPARENTLY NEVER HEARD OF THE COIL PACK GOING BAD ALONG WITH THE SPARK PLUGS BREAKING DUE TO THIS. AFTER ARGUING FOR A WEEK WITH THEM, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL 8 COIL PACKS. DURING THIS SEQUENCE, A COIL PACK WAS GOING BAD WEEKLY AND I HAD TO CONTINUALLY HAVE IT IN THE SHOP. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND AS I CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE ISSUES OUT THERE AND FORD CONTINUES TO DISREGARD A RECALL. THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS GASOLINE WILL EMIT FROM THE CRACK IN THE COIL PACK AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 FORD F-150 AND UPON REMOVING THE SPARK PLUGS AT 60,00 MILES, WHICH AREN'T DUE TO BE DONE UNTIL 100,00 MILES, THE SPARK PLUGS BROKE OFF IN THE HEAD. I HAVE BEEN A CERTIFIED MECHANIC IN THE PAST SO I KNOW HOW TO REMOVE SPARK PLUGS. FORD SHOULD BE ISSUING A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS DISCUSSED A LOT ON INTERNET SITES AND WELL DOCUMENTED TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR
