ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ALL THE INITIAL BEFORE ENGINE STARTS LIGHTS CAME ON, TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND THERE WAS A WARNING BUZZER. I RAPPED THE TOP OF THE DASH AFTER TRYING THREE RESTARTS WHERE NOTHING CHANGED. THE TRUCK NORMALIZED AND I DROVE IT. I DO NOT OFTEN DRIVE THE TRUCK, SO ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER I WAS HEADED TO PENNSYLVANIA AND WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE HRBT TUNNEL WHEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT TO KEY ON STATUS (NO TACHOMETER OR SPEEDOMETER FUNCTION, MULTITUDE OF WARNING LIGHTS AND WARNING BUZZER). SO AT 55MPH I HIT THE TOP OF THE DASH AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BRIEFLY CAME BACK ON THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN. I REPEATED THE BLOW ON THE TOP OF THE DASH AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS AND THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. IT'S QUITE DISCONCERTING TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND THE REST OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NOT FUNCTION. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND FORD'S FIX IS FOR ME TO HAVE TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE CLUSTER. *JS

ENGINE
5.4L TRUCK ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND SERVICED AT FORD DEALERSHIPS. IT WAS RUNNING PERFECT UNTIL IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN IDLING ROUGH AT A STOP. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WE JUST KNOW OUR TRUCK. TOOK IT IN FOR A TUNE-UP (REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, ETC.) AND OIL CHANGE. PERFECT BILL OF HEALTH - COULDN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. ENGINE CHECKED OUT DIAGNOSTICALLY- PERFECT. THEY SUGGESTED IT COULD BE AN INTERMITTENT STICKING FUEL INJECTOR, SO WE WERE GOING TO GET AN ADDITIVE TO ADD TO THE FUEL TANK. DIDN'T MAKE IT THAT FAR. DROVE IT HOME - 35 MILES - GOT HOME AND ENGINE STALLED IN DRIVEWAY. TURNED BACK ON, ENGINE DIED AGAIN. LONG STORY SHORT - TOWED IT BACK TO FORD - THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM - OIL PRESSURE DROPS SUDDENLY (INTERMITTENTLY)- POINTING TO CAM PHASER, TIMING AREA OF ENGINE - END RESULT - NEED NEW ENGINE - THIS ONE IS SHOT AT ONLY 68K MILES - ESTIMATED COST $7,400 PLUS TAX. EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THESE 5.4L ENGINES ARE BREAKING DOWN LEFT AND RIGHT IN THESE TRUCKS. DON'T KNOW WHAT CHANGED. HAD A 1999 EXPEDITION WITH A 5.4L - GREAT VEHICLE. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE - WAS TOLD TO KEEP ALL RECEIPTS IN THE EVENT OF A RECALL. AN ENGINE SHOULD NOT BLOW AT 68K MILES, ESPECIALLY A BUILT FORD TOUGH ENGINE. WE'VE OWNED FORDS SINCE HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY USED TO BE RELIABLE, LONG DRIVING VEHICLES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 6/01/2014 I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN I STARTED TO APPROACH AN INTERSECTION TO STOP AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP AND THE TRUCK THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL AWAY TO THE FLOOR, THEN I REALIZED THAT EITHER I WOULD HAVE TO CRASH THE TRUCK INTO THE WALL OF THE BRIDGE AND POSSIBLY GO OVER OR CRASH THE TRUCK IN TO OTHER VEHICLES. HOWEVER THIS WAS A PANICKY SITUATION IN THE LAST SECOND BEFORE CRASHING THE TRUCK I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. AFTER TOWING THE TRUCK TO THE GARAGE I TOOK FEW PHOTOS OF THE FRONT BRAKE LINE HOSES AND HOW CLOSE THEY ARE TO THE TIRE RIMS. ONE OF THOSE BREAK LINES WERE DAMAGE BY RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE RIM. OTHER BREAK LINES PHOTO IS SHOWING HOW CLOSE THE BREAK LINES ARE TO THE TIRE RIM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT FORD WOULD INSTALL OR DESIGN THE HOLDING BRACKETS THAT COULD POSSIBLY MOVE CLOSE TO THE TIRE RIM FOR THE BRAKE HOSES THAT CLOSE TO THE TIRE RIM. ALSO I STOP OVER TO A FORD DEALER IN READING PA WHY THEY WOULD NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WHEN I HAVE THE TRUCK INSPECTED IN OCTOBER OF 2013. THE SUPERVISOR AT THE DESK HAVE NO ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. THEN I CHECK SIMILAR TRUCKS THE YEAR WAS 2008 AND THE BRAKE LINE WAS LESS THAN .250" FROM THE TIRE RIM. WHEN I CHECKED THE 2014 E150 IT LOOKS THAT THE BRAKE LINES LOCATION WERE REDESIGN. SO OBVIOUSLY SOMEBODY NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THE BRACKET THAT HOLD THE BRAKE LINES WERE NEVER ADJUSTED AWAY FROM BEING THAT CLOSE TO A TIRE RIM AT THE INSPECTION. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY WOULD ALLOW THE BREAK HOSES TO BE INSTALLED ABOUT .250" FROM THE TIRE RIMS OR MOVING PARTS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR A TOWING AND THE REPAIR OF THE TRUCK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
FORD FUEL PUMP DRIVER CORRODES BADLY CAUSING NO START AND/OR TOTAL FAILURE OF ENGINE POWER. REDUCTION OF POWER OR ENGINE STALLING CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN ENGINE STALLS DRIVER CAN LOSE POWER STEERING POWER BRAKES AND CONTROL VEHICLE. THIS IS KNOWN BY FORD. FORD ALONG WITH A AFTERMAKET COMPANY HAS REDESIGNED THE PART. THE UPDATED PART HAS STANDOFFS ALONG WITH A PROTECTIVE COATING PREVENTING CORROSION. THE CORROSION OF THE PART HAPPENS FASTER IN THE SALT BELT STATES. I REPLACED MINE AND THE PART HAD A HOLE IN IT LETTING WATER AND PARTS OF METAL INSIDE UNIT. I STILL HAVE PART IF NEEDED. DO AN INTERNET SEARCH AND YOU WILL FIND ALLOT OF EXAMPLES OF THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS MILLIONS OF VEHICLES. *TR

ENGINE
THE 5.4L ENGINE INSTALLED IN THE FORD F150 HAS NOTHING BUT A BAD REPUTATION FOR COSTING CONSUMERS THOUSANDS AND NEVER BEING ABLE TO FULLY FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE CUTS OUT OF POWER, SHAKES VIGOROUSLY, MISFIRES AND IS DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAYS, HILLS, OR ANY ROADWAY FOR THAT MATTER. OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ALMOST GOT US REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE WITHOUT LOSING POWER AND SHAKING AND JERKING! THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS ENGINE I'M SURE, JUDGING BY THE FORUMS, WEBSITES, CAR COMPLAINT SITES ETC. MEANWHILE, WE TOOK OUR TRUCK INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY GET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO BRING THESE VEHICLES IN AND SPEND THOUSANDS TO REPLACE THE CAM PHASERS JUST TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THE NEXT MONTH! BY THE TIME YOU ARE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOU'VE PUT OUT MORE MONEY THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH AT THAT POINT! GET THESE ENGINES RECALLED AND GET THEM OFF THE ROADS. THEY'RE UNSAFE FOR DRIVERS, FAMILIES AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAYS! *TR

VEHICLE WENT INTO 'FAILSAFE MODE' AND STOPPED RUNNING WITH NO WARNING. MANUAL SAID THIS WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PROCEED SAFELY HOME. DID NOT GET FAR BEFORE IT WOULD NOT RUN. WHEN IT DID RUN, IT RAN AT ABOUT 2 MPH BEFORE FAILING TO GO ANY FARTHER. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR WITH VARIOUS FORD VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ENGINE CUT OUT WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. WOULD NOT RESTART. BECAUSE I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD, THERE WAS A 2 CAR REAR COLLISION THAT OCCURRED BEHIND ME. REPAIRS WERE $400.00 FOR ME NOT TO MENTION THE COST AND INJURY OF THE OTHER CARS INVOLVED IN THE ACCIDENT BEHIND ME. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS FUEL PUMP MODULE IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS TRUCK DUE TO CORROSION PROBLEMS RESULTING FROM A POOR DESIGN. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM. *TR

AROUND MIDDAY WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I DROVE A FEW BLOCKS BACK TO MY OFFICE AND THE VEHICLE SAT UNTIL I LEFT TO GO HOME LATER THAT DAY. A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY OFFICE ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A LOUDER VIBRATION AND THIS TIME A METAL ON METAL CLANKING SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING AREA AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN FROM ITS CENTER MOUNT. THE TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT CARRIER BEARING MOUNTING BRACKET HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO NO LONGER BE MOUNTED TO THE FRAME. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING AND ONLY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHERE I COULD HAVE LOSS DRIVER CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LESS THAN A YEAR EARLIER, THE VEHICLE FAILED A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO AN EXCESSIVELY CORRODED STEERING SHAFT U JOINT. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS U JOINT COULD FAIL DURING DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL. EITHER OF THESE COMPONENT PART FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS OR OTHERS IN OTHER VEHICLES OR ON OR NEAR THE ROADWAY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OTHER NON LIFE SAFETY MECHANICAL DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS CONDITION EXISTS WITH MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROADS TODAY AND ANY OF THOSE DRIVERS COULD EXPERIENCE A FAILURE OF EITHER THE STEERING SHAFT OR THE DRIVE SHAFT AT ANY TIME AND BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

FIRST OFF I WANT TO SAY THAT I WORK FOR FORD AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE FIRST OF THE TWO ISSUE I HAVE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED AND I'M NOT 100% SURE ABOUT THE DATES THAT THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRED ON. MY TRUCK HAS SOUNDED LIKE IT HAS A DIESEL ENGINE IN IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAD NEW IN 2005 AND AFTER TALKING TO SOME GUYS AT WORK I FIND OUT THAT IT IS CAUSED BY CAM PHASERS THAT ARE IN THE 2004-07 5.4LITRE ENGINES AND IF THESE FAIL YOU HAVE TO GET A NEW MOTOR WHICH I WAS TOLD JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WOULD BE $8900.00 WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. IF YOU LOOK THEM UP ONLINE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A HUGE AND COSTLY PROBLEM. MY SECOND ISSUE IS I HAVE HAD MY REAREND REBUILT TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS BEFORE IT WAS OUT OF IT 36,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY, THE SECOND TIME WAS BEFORE IT WAS OUT OF THE 100,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED SO LUCKILY THOSE TWO TIMES DID NOT COST ME ANYTHING BUT NOW IT NEEDS IT AGAIN AND THE MECHANIC TELL ME IT COULD COST $5000 SO WITH THE MOTOR ISSUE AND THE REAREND ISSUE I COULD POSSIBLY SPEND $14,000 IN REPAIRS WHICH AGAIN IS CRAZY WHEN YOU SPENT CLOSE TO $50,000.00 ON THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN WITH. *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS 2005 IS EXTREMELY LOOSE AT THE TOP OF THE WHEEL AND FEELS VERY UNSECURED AS FAR AS IT BEING CONNECTED OR SECURED UNDERNEATH. IT IS ALSO DETERIORATING GREATLY IN THAT SAME AREA AT THE TOP OF THE WHEEL AND NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE. THE REASON I AM SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ME AND ESPECIALLY MY FAMILY WHERE WE HAD A HEAD-ON COLLISION AND WERE VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. MY WIFE HAS NEVER FULLY RECUPERATED FROM THAT HORRIBLE NIGHT. FOR HER TO DRIVE MY PICKUP AND FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY OBVIOUSLY OVERLOOKED OR IS NEGLECTING IS UNTHINKABLE. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH DUE TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHICH WAS KILLED IN ONE OF YOUR FORD EXPLORERS MANY YEARS AGO DUE TO DEFECTIVE TIRES FROM FIRESTONE. *TR

I PURCHASES A USED 2005 FORD F150 ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. TODAY, FEB 28, 2014, I WAS LEAVING MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MY TRUCKS DISPLAY FLASHED AN MESSAGE READING "ENGINE FAILSAFE MODE". MY TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, NO STEERING AND DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ON SURFACE STREETS AND PULLED IT OVER WITH NO POWER STEERING AND ENGINE DEAD. THE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE AND THE ENGINE WILL START BUT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AND THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN. ONLINE I READ OF THIS HAPPENING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH. IAM NOW TERRIFIED THAT MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. THIS SEEMS TO BE A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. I CALLED A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPT CLAIMED THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT CAN WORK ON IT IF I BRING IT IN. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? THANK YOU. *TR
