ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 FORD F150 HARLEY-DAVIDSON PICKUP THERE WAS A LOUD BANG FROM UNDER THE HOOD THEN VEHICLE WOULD BARELY RUN.TURNS OUT THAT I BLEW A SPARK PLUG OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD EACH OF THE TWO TIMES.BOTH TIMES WERE THE RIGHT SIDE HEAD AND THE WERE THE REAR TWO PLUGS.SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT FORD WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREETS.

I HAVE A 2002 FORD F-150 SUPERCREW PICKUP. THERE HAVE BEEN RECORDED INCEDENTS OF FAILURE OF THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCHES CAUSING FIRE OF THE VEHICLE AND ADJOINING PROPERTY. ON INCIDENT THAT OCCURED IN CORPU CHRISTI, TX IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND THAT FIRE WAS IN 2003 INVOLVING A 2002 SUPERCREW. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER ABOUT HAVING THE SWITCH REPLACED AND TO MY SHOCK/SURPRISE, 2002 SUPERCREWS ARE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THE SWITCH IS $15.00 AND I COULD BUY ONE, BUT I'M ON TOTAL DISABILITY AND CANT REPLACE IT MYSELF. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO PUT THE HEAT UNDER FORD TO INCLUDE 2002 SUPERCREWS ON THE RECALL LIST. I DID DISABLE THE SWITCH, BUT IT MAKES IT WORTHLESS USING THE SPEED CONTROL. THANKS!

DT: CONSUMER WAS EMERGENCY BRAKING AND HAD TO YIELD TO AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE BUT BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE OR STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS BRAKING SITUATION HAD BEEN WITNESS AND VERIFIED BY 2 EXPERTS WITH NO KNOWN VERIFIED CAUSE. INSPECTIONS HAVE CONCLUDED THAT ALL CURRENT PARTS WERE WITHIN MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS AND GUIDELINES. THIS WAS THE ONLY INCIDENT WITH BRAKES. DROVE VEHICLE HOME, PARKED IT , AND TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY. *AK

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE SO WARPED THAT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES, AND THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. OWNER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER , AND WAS INFORMED THAT WHAT THE DRIVER WAS EXPERIENCING WAS NORMAL. *AK

I PURCHASED MY 2002 FORD F150 SUPER CREW IN AUGUST OF 2002. I HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE HAD NO RESPONSES OR ASSISTANCE FROM ANY FORD DEALERSHIPS. THE PROBLEMS STARTED OUT WITH MY RADIO GOING ON AND OFF ALL ON ITS OWN. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 10 TIMES ALONE FOR THIS PROBLEM. NEVER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE PROBLEMS ESCALATED AROUND 40,000 MILES AND MY WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED TO BE SHORTING OUT. I HAVE HAD FIRE UNDER THE DASH, THE HEADLIGHTS NOT WORK, THE WIPERS WOULD ONLY WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, SAME THING WITH THE HEATER, IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF AFTER YOU SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. NOW THIS WEEK I HAD ANOTHER FIRE WHICH I WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT ON MY OWN. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE GEM MODULE AND CENTRAL JUNCTION BOX. APPARENTLY THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PUT TOGETHER CORRECTLY AND THESE MODULES KEEP SHORTING OUT CAUSING MY VEHICLES PROBLEMS. I HAVE TO WONDER EVERYDAY WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO CATCH FIRE AND BURN UP. ON A DAILY BASIS I CAN SMELL SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH ALMOST LIKE BURNING PLASTIC OR WIRING. NONE OF THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AND SEEM TO BE ESCALATING. TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I WOULD HATE TO THINK THAT I WOULD BE TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY AND THE CAR CATCH FIRE WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED. NONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN DONE BY THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM. I EVEN FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND RECEIVED NO REAL CONCERN.*AK
