SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FORD F-150 FX4 140,000.0 MILES. BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS STARTING AROUND 2010 WITH 76,000.0 MILES. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND FLUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. REPLACED BRAKE CABLE E-BRAKE SWITCH ETC... EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE CLUSTER AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE WEBSITES THE VERIFY THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT BEGINNING FROM 2004-2010. IN SOME STATES THIS IS AN INDPECTABLE ITEM ADDING ADDITIONAL AND MANDATORY REPAIRS TO BE MADE. THE CLUSTER REPAIR PART COST ANYWHERE FROM $400.00-$600.00 AND WITH LABOR COULD RUN WELL OVER $1000.00 PENDING ON THE MODEL OF THE F-150. MY BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS GONE WITHOUT A RECALL FROM FORD OR THE NHTSA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERIOR LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP ON OPENING THE DOOR. ADDITIONALLY, UPON STARTING THE ENGINE, THE ELECTRICAL PANEL BLINKS, FIZZLES, DEMANDS RESET, WHICH DOESN'T RESET, AND EVENTUALLY CORRECTS ITSELF SOMETIMES AFTER 15 MINUTES OF BLINKING. ADDITIONALLY, THE HIGH BEAMS IMPLEMENT AND THEN YOU CANNOT MAKE THE HIGH BEAMS TURN OFF. MAY ALL BE RELATED BUT, SEEMS LIKE 3 SEPARATE ISSUES, ALL SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL. BLINKING BEGINS WHILE STATIONARY UPON STARTING TRUCK AND CONTINUES WHILE IN MOTION, INDICATES PROBLEM WITH EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER AND STATES AUTO LOCKS FAIL, ALONG WITH BLINKING FAILURE OF ALL SYSTEMS STATING RESET BUT PUSHING RESET DOES NOT APPEAR TO FIX ANYTHING.....ONLY TIME FIXES IT.

ENGINE
THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO FORD 5.4 LITER TRITON V8 24 VALVE ENGINES AND FREQUENT FAILURES OF THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. A SEARCH OF ONLINE LITERATURE FROM AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTS AND MECHANICS REPORT AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF THESE MANIFOLDS WARPING, CRACKING, AND BREAKING THE MOUNTING STUDS. REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, IN THE RANGE OF $1000 - $2000 PER MANIFOLD. LAST FALL 2018, MY 2006 F-150 5.4 TRITON, WITH ONLY 83,000 MILES, BEGAN LEAKING EXHAUST FROM THE RIGHT SIDE MANIFOLD. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS. (SOME INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS STATED THEY WILL NOT WORK ON THESE FORD MODEL MANIFOLDS ANYMORE.) THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD WAS OVER $1800. THE PARTS AND MATERIALS WERE ONLY ABOUT $300. THERE WAS A LOT OF LABOR INVOLVED BECAUSE 6 OF 8 MOUNTING STUDS HAD TO REMOVED AND REPLACED. THE DEALER ALSO RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE LEFT SIDE MANIFOLD BECAUSE THE MOUNTING STUDS ON THAT SIDE WERE SHOWING SIGNS OF IMPENDING FAILURE. IN FACT, SOME OF THE STUDS MAY BE BROKEN ALREADY, BUT THE LEFT MANIFOLD IS NOT YET LEAKING, SO I DID NOT REPLACE THE LEFT MANIFOLD AT THAT TIME. I AM A RETIRED MINE ENGINEER/MANAGER. I WAS HEAVILY INVOLVED IN THE MAINTENANCE OF TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM IN THESE MANIFOLDS AND/OR THE HEADS THEY MOUNT ON. (THESE ARE THE HEADS THAT PROMPTED THE 5.4 TRITON SPARK PLUG SETTLEMENT.)

BOUGHT THE TRUCK, FOUND OUT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN WRECKED AND WE WERE NEVER INFORMED. WE WENT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THE RECALLS.

AFTER BEING TOLD ABOUT THE AIRBAG, WE CONTACTED THE PLACE WHERE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND WAS TOLD THE GUY THAT SOLD US THE TRUCK WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THAT HE WOULD CALL US BACK. TO THIS DAY WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAKATA RECALL. FOR THREE YEARS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES, BEEPING ELECTRICAL DASH PANEL AND LIGHTS IN TRUCK HARDLY EVER WORK. THE TRUCKS DEPENDABILITY AT MOMENT ISN'T GREAT DUE TO THESE ISSUES. CAN'T AFFORD A NEW TRUCK AT TIME BEING .. THIS TRUCK TRANSPORTS MY TODDLERS AROUND. THIS TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING ON CAR AND OPENING DOORS WE NEVER SEE LIGHTS ON. IT DOES HAPPEN ALSO WHEN DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES. NOT SURE IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH STOPPING OR TURNING. WILL HAPPEN AT ANY RATE OF SPEED.
