FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SPUTTER, AND AS I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE TRUCK QUIT ON ME. I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP IN ORDER TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T START. I ENDED UP HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL SHOP AND AFTER A DIAGNOSIS THAT COST $124.95 THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE WHEN BAD. THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE COST $234.44. SO ALL TOGETHER WITH PARTS, LABOR AND TAX IT COST ME $496.88 WITHOUT INCLUDING THE COST TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE IS BOLTED DIRECTLY TO THE FRAME CROSS MEMBER, AND WITH MINNESOTA WINTERS SNOW AND ROAD SALT GET TRAPPED BETWEEN THE TWO PARTS. THE PART WILL EVENTUALLY RUST, CRACK, AND THEN THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE GOES BAD. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS A PLASTIC HOUSING WITH A COUPLE SPACERS TO MOVE IT AWAY FROM THE CROSS MEMBER TO POSSIBLY ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. FORD HAD TO KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN RIGHT? *TR

ENGINE
FORD HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 2006-2008 F150. THEY HAVE FAULTY SPARKPLUG THAT WHEN THEY NEED CHANGEDIRECTIONS SNAP. THIS RESULTS IN THEM HAVING TO RETAP THE MOTOR AND PUT DIFFERENT SPARK PLUGS IN WHICH THEY CHARGE $400/SPARK PLUG THAT SNAPS. THE PART THAT SNAPS FALLS INTO THE MOTOR THAT'S WHICH IT IS SO EXPENSIVE. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY MADE SURE TO GET NEW SPARK PLUGS AS SOON AS THERE WERE ISSUES. NUMEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF HAVE CALLED FORD AND COMPLAINED BUT THEY NEVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL. *TR

SEAT BELTS
APRIL 14, 2014 AFTER LEAVING MY DOCTORS OFFICE I BUCKLED MY SEATBELT AS REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW I MADE ONE LEFT HAND TURN AND STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT AS I BEGAN MY TURN TO THE RIGHT WHEN LIGHT CHANGED THE SEALBELT CAME LOOSE FROM THE BUCKLE. THE TOP OF THE BUCKLE WAS STUCK DOWNWARD AND WOULD NOT RELEASE FOR ME TO BUCKLE IT AGAIN. WHEN RETURNING HOME I CALLED MIKE SHAD FORD IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA WHERE I PURCHASED IT. I WAS TOLD MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD REPLACE IT FOR $294.71 DOLLARS IT WAS NOT ON A RECALL LIST. I THEREFORE CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO THE YOUNG LADY WHOM ANSWERED THE PHONE WHAT HAPPENED TELLING HER IT NEEDED TO BE PUT ON A RECALL LIST SHE REFUSED TO LISTEN AND HUNG UP. I THEN CALLED THE NHTSA AND REPORTED IT TO THEM. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO PURCHASED THAT YEAR TRUCK THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE REPLACED MY PART FREE OF CHARGE HOWEVER THEY DID NOT. SO I PAID FOR THE NEW PART AND IT WAS INSTALLED BY A TRAINED FORD TECHNICIAN. I FEEL I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY FORD IF NOT THE DEALER. COMPLAINT NUMBER BY NHTSA 10584144. *JS

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN US 281(BUSY 3 LANE HIGHWAY) IN SAN ANTONIO AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING ME TO COAST TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ONCE I GOT OFF OF THE ROAD, THE ENGINE STARTED UP LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. AFTER I INSPECTED THE FLUIDS AND SAW EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT, I GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY TO HAVE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN. I CALLED FORD TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE REPORTED OR A RECALL, AND THERE WAS NOTHING. I FOUND OVER 300 COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORUMS BY TYPING IN --2006 F150 FAILSAFE--IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. I THINK THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE ROAD.
