2009 FORD F-150 Complaints

THE RIGHT FRONT FLEXIBLE BRAKE LINE DETERIORATED AT THE CRIMPED FITTING. THE DETERIORATION IS ON THE INSIDE OF THE LINE AT THE CRIMP. THE DETERIORATION ACTS LIKE A CHECK VALVE ALLOWING THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE BUT NOT RELEASE OF BRAKING PRESSURE. I HAVE VERIFIED THIS ON THREE (3) REPLACEMENTS. THE ORIGINAL LINE WAS REPLACED AT ABOUT 120K AND NON OEM AT ABOUT 20K.

I TURNED MY TRUCK ON AFTER IT SAT OVERNIGHT AND THE ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH CLUSTER. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A LOCAL PART STORE AND HAD A OBD2 READER HOOKED UP AND IT PULLED ABS CONTROL MODULE CODE. I TOOK INTO A AUTO SHOP AND THEY WERE PULL THE CODE AND DECIPHER WHAT THE ACTUAL PROBLEM WAS. THE ABS CONTROL MODULE COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING.

PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE SEAT HEATER. KEPT SMELL A BURNING SMELL AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE SOURCE. PARKED THE TRUCK AND LOOKED OUTS DE ABOUT AN HOUR LATER. SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE CAB. OPENED THE DOOR AND SAW SEAT ON FIRE. YOU ASSENGER USED THE SEAT HEATER PRIOR. NO ONE SMOKES IN MY FAMILY SO THERE WAS NO OTHER HEAT SOURCE.

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOV 2018, LESS THAN ONE YEAR THAN THE DATE OF THIS CLAIM. ON NINE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING: LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, STEERING, ACCELERATION CONTROL, FUEL PUMP/INJECTORS, TIMING OF THE RPM, AND OTHER RELATED ISSUES LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, IMMEDIATELY AND INSTANTANEOUSLY STALLED OUT ON HIGHWAYS AND MAJOR FREEWAYS WITHOUT WARNING, SOME OF WHICH NEARLY LED TO VEHICULAR ACCIDENTS FROM SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AND POWER OF THE TRUCK, WITH HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING EXPERIENCED THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL F-150. IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF THIS, I'VE SPENT OVER $3,500+ IN REPAIRS BETWEEN THE DATE OF PURCHASE TO DATE OF THIS CLAIM TO THE ECM, FUEL PUMP MODULE, FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS, BATTERY, IGNITION SWITCH, MASS FLOW AIR SENSOR, CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS, SERPENTINE BELT, AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE, AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT I NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE, ANOTHER $5,000 ON TOP OF THE PRESENT $6,784 LIEN CURRENTLY ON THE VEHICLE. THE PHYSICAL SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OTHERS HAS NOT ONLY BEEN PLACED IN JEOPARDY, BUT THIS ISSUE AND VEHICLE HAS PLACED ME IN A SERIOUS, DELINQUENT, AND SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE FINANCIAL POSITION. I CAN'T EVEN GET THE CAR TO RUN NOW, IT WILL NOT DRIVE AFTER THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED OUT 15 DAYS AGO AS I LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON FREEWAY; ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND HAD NO OIL PRESSURE. TIMING CHAINS, ROD, MAIN BEARING AND CAMSHAFTS ALL NEED REPAIR WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT I WON'T BE PLACED IN THE SAME OR SIMILAR POSITION AGAIN IF I WERE TO CORRECT, POSSIBLE BANKRUPTCY IF LEFT UNCORRECTED. FORD WANTS $400 MORE FOR INSPECTION, MAKES NO GUARANTEE ALL ISSUES WILL HE IDENTIFIED AND REFUSES TO MAKE REPAIRS OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY 5.4L V8 TRITON ENGINE & ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT ARE 'BUILT FORD TOUGH.' PLEASE HELP.

SPARK PLUG BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. COMMON PROBLEM WITH 4.6L 2V TRITON ENGINES FROM MY SEARCH RESULTS. FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE ISSUE AS THERE IS ONLY A FEW THREADS HOLDING THE SPARK PLUG IN THE ENGINE HEADS.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 5 2019, I HEARD A LOUD POP ABOVE MY HEAD. I SLOWLY PUSHED BACK THE SUNROOF VISOR TO GET A LOOK, AND THE GLASS HAD EXPLODED OUTWARD. NOTHING APPEARS TO HAVE STRUCK THE GLASS. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS SOON AS I WAS ABLE, PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO INSPECT AND TAKE PHOTOS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I DROVE IT A FEW BLOCKS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND GOT A SERVICE PERSON TO INSPECT IT AS WELL, AND HE AGREED WITH MY ASSESSMENT OF THE WAY IT BROKE. I GOT A VERBAL ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR OF THE GLASS AND THE TRACK.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 151,000 MILES ON IT. IT RAN GOOD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THEN IT STALLED WHEN I WAS GOING INTO A LEFT HAND TURN BUT RESTARTED.
