ENGINE
WHILE IN MOTION TRAVELING DOWN HIGHWAY I HEARD A BANG AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK AND A SOUND OF AIR WAS COMING FROM ENGINE AND LOST HORSE-POWER. I FOUND THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE #3 CYLINDER. I HAD TO REPAIR, AND NOW THE PLUG HAS DROPPED DOWN, MAY HAVE TO SPEND UP TO $3,000 TO REPAIR/REPLACE ALUMINUM HEADS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
AS THE DRIVER APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKED UP AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT SLOW TO STOP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS BEFORE AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. (THIS COMPLAINT IS SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT NUMBER 10918568 AND THAT COMPLAINT IMPROPERLY NOTED THAT THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT - THE REPORT IS ATTACHED WITH THIS COMPLAINT. ALSO, THIS COMPLAINT SUPPLEMENTS THE PRIOR INFORMATION BY PROVIDED THE SERVICE TICKET. THE TICKET SHOWS A FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE MELTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2006 FORD F-150 4X4 PICKUP. TWO WEEKS AGO THE SPEED ODOMETER WENT CRAZY, IT STARTED OUT STICKING AT 10 MPH AND MOVED ALL THE WAY OVER TO 120+ AND SOMETIMES DROPS TO THE 40 MPH AREA AND THEN RIGHT BACK UP TO THE 120 MPH ZONE. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TRUCK OVER 75 MPH...EVER. I CHECKED FOR A CABLE MALFUNCTION BUT I FOUND OUT THERE IS NO CABLE, ITS ELECTRONIC.THIS TRUCK HAS 144,000 MILES WHAT IS GOING ON WITH FORD THESE DAYS? IS THERE A RECALL ON SOMETHING? HOW DO YOU FIX THIS? I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED ALL 8 COIL PACKS ON THIS TRUCK FOR AN UNRELATED PROBLEM WITH IGNITION. I HEAR THE SPARK PLUGS ARE A PAIN ALSO. ALL I KNOW NOW WHEN I DRIVE THIS TRUCK THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. I JUST JUDGE MY SPEED BY HOW FAST EVERYBODY ELSE IS GOING. IF NOBODY IS ON THE ROAD I AM SCREWED...THANKS A LOT FORD !!!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY TRUCK JUNE 18TH 2016. AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS THE RADIO STARTED GOING OFF FOR PERIODS OF TIME. THE RADIO WORK PROBABLY HALF OF THE TIME. I FINALLY HAD TIME TO BRING IT IN AND FORD TELLS ME THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS YET. A RADIO IS A EVERY DAY PART OF A TRUCK AND IS EXPECTED TO WORK. UNDER AN IMPLIED WARRANTY IT SHOULD WORK. THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY IS IMPLIED, UNLESS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED BY NAME, OR THE SALE IS IDENTIFIED WITH THE PHRASE "AS IS" OR "WITH ALL FAULTS." TO BE "MERCHANTABLE", THE GOODS MUST REASONABLY CONFORM TO AN ORDINARY BUYER'S EXPECTATIONS, I.E., THEY ARE WHAT THEY SAY THEY ARE. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE A FIX.

ENGINE
VAN HAD TROUBLE STARTING SO TOOK IT TO DEALER, THINKING IT MIGHT BE PLUG/INJECTOR-RELATED. SHOP CONTACT INDICATED LEAK IN FUEL RAIL, DUMPING GAS ONTO ENGINE POTENTIALLY RESULTING SOMETHING THAT COULD IGNITE AND EXPLODE. THE 2007 SERIES 150/250/350 WITH THE LARGE 5.4 (?)L V-8 ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WISE TO POINT OUT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY WITH THE 4.6L V-8. VAN HAS ~43K MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2016 F150 COMPANY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED TO A CRAWL, AND I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PROBLEM IS THE THERE WERE DOZENS OF OTHER VEHICLES IN THE DEALERSHIP WITH SAME PROBLEM, AND THE PART IS IN BACK ORDER. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE!! IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 2 WEEKS TO GET THE PART ACCORDING TO THE DEALER....WOW!! I READ ONLINE THAT BACK IN 2012 SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA, AND FORD "AGREED" TO REPLACE THE PART ON 1.6MM VEHICLES, AND DECLARED THE PROBLEM SOLVED!! I THINK THE PROBLEM IS FAR FROM SOLVED IF IT IS HAPPENING TO DOZENS OF NEW VEHICLES IN ONE DEALERSHIP!! IMAGINE THE PROBLEM WHOLE COUNTRY WIDE AND/OR WORLD WIDE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT EVEN CALLED A RECALL IN 2012! MY COMPANY NOW HAS TO RENT A VEHICLE UNTIL A REPLACEMENT PART IS SHIPPED. THEY SAY 2 WEEKS, PROBABLY MORE TIME SINCE IT IS THEIR ESTIMATE!! THIS ISSUE HAS TO BE INVESTIGATED.
