2006 FORD F-150 Complaints

HAVE A SLIGHT MISFIRE AND CALLED ALL MY LOCAL SHOPS AND NO SHOP WILL CHANGE THE PLUGS ON A F-150 WITH A 5.4L TRITON MOTOR. THEY SAID IT'S WELL KNOWN THAT ALL THE SPARK PLUGS WILL SNAP OFF IN THE BLOCK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WANT $1000 TO CHANGE THEM. WHILE IN ALL OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS IT'S $50-$100 JOB. RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS HAPPENS TO EVERY FORD THAT HAD THE 5.4L TRITON ENGINE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD $1000 TO CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS. I'M A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AND THIS IS BEYOND MY MEANS CURRENTLY. I EMAILED FORD AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE. YET EVERY MECHANIC SHOP WILL AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

AT 9:20 MONDAY MORNING 6/25/18 MY 2006 F-150 HAD BEEN SITTING STATIONARY, UNOCCUPIED AND TURNED OFF FOR 3 AND HALF HOURS. I WAS WAKEN UP BY MY WIFE TELLING ME MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE HAD BREACHED THROUGH THE HOOD AND CONTAINED TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I HAD NO PRIOR TROUBLE TO THE OPERATION OF MY TRUCK THAT WOULD INDICATE A PROBLEM. THE FIRE DESTROYED ENTIRE FRONT OF TRUCK.

MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY AND HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT SPUN HIM UP ONTO THE LAWN AND FINALLY THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AFTER HITTING OUR HOUSE AND GOING THROUGH THE WALL. THE TRUCK STOPPED WITH THE BACK WHEELS INSIDE THE HOUSE WITH THE ENGINE CONTINUING TO REV.

THE MECHANIC SAID I NEED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION, IT IS AN AUTOMATIC 4.6L MOTOR AND DOES NOT GET 4RD OR 4TH GEAR. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND WHEN IT REACHED 40MPH IT WOULD NOT GO I HAD TO SWITCH TO 2ND GEAR.

BOUGHT A USED FORD F 150 WITH 65700 MILES IN APRIL 2011. AFTER 7 YEARS AND ONLY PUTTING ON 34700 MILES THERE IS A LOUD TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT THE TRUCK ENGINE LOOSES POWER AND WHEN IT DOES HAVE SOME POWER IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT SHAKES AS IF THE TIRE IS COMING OFF. FORD STATES THE ENGINE SHOULD BE REPLACED OR SOME OTHER PROBLEMS THAT SEEM TO BE INHERENT WITH THE 5.4 AND NO WAY IS FORD EVEN WANTING TO FIX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO A PATCH OF ICE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WITH A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTOMAX FORD (3301 E CENTRAL TEXAS EXPY, KILEEN, TX), BUT THEY REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *TT *TR

PULLING UP TO A STOP SIGN AND THE TRUCK ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. APPLIED BRAKE AND PLACED IN NEUTRAL. ENGINE REVVED THEN ACCELERATION STOPPED FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN ENGINE REVVED AND PEGGED THE RPM GAUGE. HAD TO TURN TRUCK OFF TO GET ACCELERATION TO STOP.

THE VEHICLE THAT IS TALKED ABOUT IN THIS IS A 2006 FORD F-150 THAT RECENTLY WENT IN FOR AN ANNUAL NYS SAFETY INSPECTION AND FAILED DUE TO AN EXCESSIVELY RUSTED FRAME THAT RESULTED IN CRACKS ON BOTH FRAME RAILS. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY ~50,000 MILES AND IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG THE FRAME HAS ACTUALLY BEEN CRACKED AND STILL DRIVEN.

TRANSMISSION HAS A DELAY SHIFTING OR KIND OF GET STOCK THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 80000 MILES AND DOING IT AGAIN

SMART JUNCTION BOX FAILED. CAUSING INTERIOR, DASH AND BACK LIGHTS NOT TO LIGHT AND INCLUDING THE HORN NOT TO WORK. WHEN TRYING TO REPLACE THE FUSE IT WOULD BLOW THE FUSE AND SMOKE. IT IS IN THE SHOP NOW TO HAVE THE SMART JUNCTION BOX REPLACED. FUSES STARTED BLOWING. AT FIRST IT WAS THE RADIO AND THE FUSE WAS REPLACED THEN THE OTHERS STARTED TO BLOW.
