FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
I PURCHASED A 2006 F-150 ON JULY 6, 2006 WITH 9,177 MILES ON IT. ON JULY 10, 2006 I ALLOWED MY 24-YEAR-OLD SON TO TAKE THE TRUCK 700 FEET TO HIS MOBILE HOME TO TAKE A WASHER AND DRYER FROM MY HOME TO HIS. HE WAS WITHIN 3 FEET OF THE PORCH OF THE MOBILE HOME WITH THE TRUCK IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IN REVERSE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL STUCK AND KNOCKED HIS MOBILE HOME ABOUT 3 FEET OFF THE FOUNDATION. HE HAD JUST LET OFF THE BRAKE A LITTLE TO EASE BACK. THE TRUCK AND MOBILE HOME SEEM TO BE TOTALED. MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/12/2006 AND HE SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO DO A D*** THING ABOUT IT AND THREATENED TO CALL THE POLICE. I TOLD HIM THE MANUAL SAID TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. ASKED IF I SHOULD CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME. WE PAID CASH FOR THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO A SECURE LOT UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I ASKED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO INVESTIGATE. WE PURCHASED THE PREMIUMCARE EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN. IF NOTHING ELSE, IT SHOULD HAVE FELL UNDER THE IMPLIED WARRANTY. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON 15 JUNE 2006, MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT WHILE OPERATING A 2006 FORD F150. A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF HER SHE PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPONDED TO HER BRAKING ACTION. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODY ANDERSEN FORD IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA AND THE SERVICE MANAGER VERIFIED THAT THE BRAKES INDEED WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE WAITED A WEEK FOR A FORD ENGINEER TO VERIFY THE PROBLEMS AND HE STATED THAT WHEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE IT WAS OKAY AT THAT TIME. THESE BRAKES FAILED MY WIFE AT 5 MILES AN HOUR AND CAUSED HER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR NEW FORD TRUCK IT WAS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT IT WAS NO MAJOR PROBLEM. COME TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO THE DEALERSHIP KEEP THE NEW TRUCK AND PUT IN A NEW ENGINE. WHEN THEY DELIVERED THE TRUCK A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS MAKING THE SAME NOISE. SO WE HAD IT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO GET ANOTHER ENGINE TO PUT IN THE TRUCK BECAUSE THE SECOND ENGINE WAS NOT ANY GOOD EITHER. WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN MARCH AND DID NOT EVEN GET TO DRIVE IT UNTIL THE END OF APRIL. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 30 DAYS AND IT HAD AROUND 8 TO 9 HUNDRED MILES PUT ON IT BY THE DEALERSHIP. *NM

DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING THE GAS TANK WAS RUPTURED ON A F150 SUPERCREW 4X4 KING RANCH BY UNKNOWN DEBRIS. THE GAS TANK DOES NOT HAVE A PROTECTIVE SHIELD. IT IS AVAILABLE AS AN OPTION, IT IS STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THE 4X4 MODEL,WHICH I FOUND OUT LATER. UPON ARRIVING AT OUR DESTINATION WE NOTICED THE FUEL WAS SPILLING, I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, THEY RECOMMENDED I CALL THE FIRE DEPT. THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP THE LEAK AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE GAS TANK WAS REPLACED AND I DO HAVE THE OLD TANK. *NM

TRIED TO HAVE CHAINS PUT ON IT AS CHP REQUIRES AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT TAKE CHAINS DUE TO THE CONFIGURATION OF THE BRAKE LINES. WAS NOT TOLD THIS UP FRONT WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE.
