2003 FORD F-150 Complaints

I HAVE A 2003 SUPERCHARGED HARLEY TRUCK,THE CONCERN IS THAT ALL EIGHT SPARK PLUGS WERE DARK RED IN COLOR AND VEHICLE WAS MISSING HORRIBLY UNDER A LOAD WITH THE A/C ON OR OFF.THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,AND VEHICLE FUEL ECONOMY DIPPED TO 11MPG ON HIGHWAY.IT ALMOST FELT LIKE A TORQUE CONVERTER GOING SOUTH.THE VEHICLE GETS SUNOCO ULTRA 94 ONLY AND IS BABIED.THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 7K ON IT.P.S IAM ALSO THE FOREMAN AT A LARGE FORD DEALER.I HAE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE,UNLESS HIGH OCTANE ADDITIVES WERE USED.WHAT CAUSED THIS.NO ONE AT FORD KNOWS. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH MY 44K TRUCK*AK

ON FORD HARLEY DAVIDSON EDITION F-150 PICKUPS, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS STAINLESS STEEL WITH RUBBER STRIPS FOR TRACTION. WHILE THEY ARE VERY NICE LOOKING, THEY HAVE A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. THESE STRIPS TEAR OFF VERY EASILY AND QUICKLY LEAVING A POLISHED, STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS VERY SLIPPERY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LEAST BIT WET. IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD - FOOT SLIDING OFF WHILE STOPPING, WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, ETC. MY TRUCK HAD THE PROBLEM AT 2100 MILES, REPLACED THE PEDALS AT 5000 MILES AND THE NEW PEDALS WERE TEARING AGAIN WITH A WEEK. I AM A MEMBER OF THE HARLEY TRUCK CLUB (WWW.NHTOC.COM) AND THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD.*AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE MAKES A VERY LOUD "WHINING" NOISE WHEN DRIVING. SOUNDS AS IF DRIVING AN 18-WHEELER TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SERVICED BY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT PROBLEM.*AK

MY FRIEND BOUGHT A 2003 F-150 SUPER-CREW AND AFTER 4 MONTH THE DOME LIGHT FUSE BLEW. HE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE TESTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHAT THEY DID TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM WAS" PUT A NEW FUSE IN IT AND SAID TRY THIS AND COME BACK IF THE FUSE BLOWS AGAIN." WELL THE FUSE BLEW AGAIN AND IS AT THE DEALER AGAIN. *NLM

FRONT PASSENGER TIRE CAME OFF. DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE DRIVERS FAULT BECAUSE HE DID NOT ROTATE THE TIRES AT 5000 MILES. THEREFORE THEY WON'T COVER THE DAMAGES.*AK
