2006 FORD F-150 Complaints

1. MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY NOT BEING DRIVEN OR ANYTHING AND THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. 2. IF THE WEATHER HAD NOT BEEN SO NICE MY TRUCK WOULD BE FULL OF WATER OR SNOW. 3. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO IT IS GETTING REPLACED, BUT I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND AM PLANNING ON OWNING THIS TRUCK FOR LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY IS OVER WITH. IT SOUNDS LIKE EVEN IF THE PART IS FIXED THAT IT WILL FAIL AGAIN AND WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL UNTIL THE PART IS REPLACED WITH A STRONGER MORE SUITABLE PART THAT WILL STAND UP TO THE FORCES INVOLVED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE INSTEAD OF JUST ABOUT 40K MILES AND UNTIL IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS PART IS CLOSE TO 400 BUCKS INSTALLED AND THE TRUCK HAS 4 WINDOWS. THAT IS A POTENTIAL OF 1600 BUCKS EVERY 40K MILES. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RECALL OR A SERVICE BULLETIN TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF US F150 OWNERS ARE PROTECTED AGAINST ALL THIS EXCESS COST. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 FORD F150. IN JULY 2007 I STARTED HEARING A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM MY FRONT WHEELS. I BROUGHT IT TO HOLMAN FORD IN TURNERSVILLE NEW JERSEY. THEY REPLACED AUTO 4WD VACUUM SOLENOID. NOW 15 MONTHS LATER THE NOISE IS BACK AND THEY SAID THEIR PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 12 MONTHS. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL. IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS A DEFECT. *TR

BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL NOTICE ON 2006 F150 HARLEY. ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2008 I LEFT MY VEHICLE IN PARAMUS FORD N.J. FOR RECALL REPAIR AND OTHER ISSUES. WHEN I RETURNED THE MANAGER DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR RECALL. ON SEPTEMBER 26, 08 I HIT ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE BRAKES DIDN'T STOP. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THESE BRAKING SYSTEM BECAUSE THIS WAS A SCARY ACCIDENT WITH OUT BEING PREPARED. *TR

ODOMETER STARTED BLINKING AND JUST QUICK WORKING, DEALER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE A RECALL FOR A ELECTRONIC FAILURE. IT SEEMS NUMEROUS FORD VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. DEALER WANT TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE CLUSTER FOR A SMALL FEE OF 700.00. FORD KNOWS IT IS A ISSUE BUT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. *TR

FORD TRUCK LOSSES THROTTLE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE GOES INTO IDLE AND THROTTLE IS NOT RESPONSIVE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. *TR

PULSATING BRAKES AT 12K MILES - DEALER CHOSE TO TURN THE ROTORS PER FORD. PULSATING BRAKES AGAIN AT 20K - IDENTIFIED BY DEALER TO TURN ROTORS AGAIN - "THEY ARE WITHIN FORD SPECS REQUIRING TURNING VS. REPLACING". CONTACTED FORD - (OF COURSE, THOSE THAT ANSWER THE PHONE ARE NOT TECHNICAL - SO THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE SPECS OR PROVIDE THEM) EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM - SHOULD REPLACE. FORD HAD IDENTIFIED THAT THESE ROTORS ARE WITHIN SPEC - WILL NOT REPLACE WILL ONLY TURN. LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDES FOR REPAIR IF AVAILABLE - NOT REPLACE. 2 TURNS IN 20K ON A VEHICLE THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD. NOT ACCEPTABLE. $38K VEHICLE AND $400 WARRANTY REPAIR FOR NEW ROTORS IS TOO MUCH FOR FORD TO SWALLOW. NICE WARRANTY - QUESTION IS, WILL THE ROTORS OUTLAST THE WARRANTY?? *TR

THE ENGINE STALLED AND A MECHANIC LATER DETERMINED THAT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WATER WAS FOUND IN THE GAS TANK. PRIOR TO THE STALL THE TRUCK HAD BEEN KEPT IN A LOCATION WHERE IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO PUT WATER INTO THE TANK. WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANIC, HE INDICATED THAT HE PERSONALLY HAD SEEN OTHER CASES WHERE WATER HAD MYSTERIOUSLY APPEARED IN A FORD F150 GAS TANK WHICH APPEARED TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FACT THAT RAIN WATER LANDING INSIDE THE TRUCKS BOX DRIPS THROUGH THE SEAMS AND RIVETS OF THE BOX DIRECTLY ONTO THE FUEL PUMP PASSING INTO THE GAS TANK WHEN IT REMAINS PARKED FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME. WHEN I GOOGLED "WATER IN THE FUEL TANK", I FIND THAT THE FIRST ITEM TO COME UP IS FORD F150 OWNERS DESCRIBING THE INEXPLICABLE DISCOVERY OF SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS OF WATER IN THEIR GAS TANK! (PLEASE TRY GOOGLING THIS YOURSELF. ) *TR

DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A FORD DEALER TO BE CHECKED AND THEY SAID THE ELECTRICAL BOX IN THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN THE GENTLEMAN WENT TO CHECK THE PRICE FOR THE PART HE SAID HE COULD NOT ORDER IT BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK DUE TO THE HIGH DEMAND FOR THE PART. HE ALSO STATED THAT SINCE THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE IT LEAD HIM TO BELIEVE THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS RIGHT NOW. PERSONALLY, I KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE I KNOW THREE OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN FORDS AND THEY HAVE PROBLEMS TOO. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW HAS A FORD EXPLORER WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TWO YEARS AGO, THANKFULLY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT FIXED THROUGH A RECALL. WE FEEL THAT A VEHICLE THAT IS TWO YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SUCH A PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FOR ALL FORD VEHICLES, NOT JUST THE F150, AND YOU WILL SEE A HUGE PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

MODERATE TO SEVERE WHEEL VIBRATION IN STEERING SINCE 2006. IT REMAINS UNREPAIRED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I'M NOW BEING TOLD TO "LIVE" WITH THE SHIMMY AND IT SHOULD BE "EXPECTED". *TR

I HAVE A 06 FORD F150 THAT I PARKED THEN REMOVED THE KEYS 5 MINS. LATER HOP IN TO START MY TRUCK I WOULD NO TURN OVER . I HAD POWER THE TRUCK READ THAT IT WAS IN PARK . CALL FORD FOR ROAD SIDE AT 39,000 I WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ROAD SIDE SO MY HUSBAND SHOWED UP HE COULD SEE WHY IT WAS DOING THIS? UNTIL HE PUSHED OFF THE TRUCK AND IT ROLLED BACK THEN IT STARTED CALLED A DEALER TO MAKE APPOINTMENT THEY COULDN'T SEE THE UNTIL 4 DAYS LATER AND IT HAPPEN 2 MORE TIMES AND THE DEALER TELLS ME I WARRANTY AND THEY STILL WANT TO CHARGE ME $155.00 FOR TO HOUR LOOKING FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR
