SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CENTER SUPPORT BEARING
I HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF THE GEARS AND THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE BEARINGS AND SEALS IN THE REAR END - ON A TRUCK THAT HAD 87,000 MILES. EVERY DEALERSHIP I'VE SPOKEN TO HAS TALKED ABOUT THE CHEAP BEARINGS IN THE FRONT AND REAR END ON THESE FORD F-150'S. 18,000 MILES AGO I HAD TO FIX THE FRONT END. *KB

STEERING
THE STEERING SHAFT IS SIEZIHG CAUSING THE WHEEL NOT TO CENTER IT SELF AND STEERS HARD . IT DOES NOT SELF CENTER AFTER CORNERING. YOU CAN'T TELL IF YOUR WHEEL IS TURNED ON SLIPPERY ROADS . I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE . I'M A LICENSED MECHANIC AND THIS HARD STEERING WOULD NOT PASS A MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION IN OUR SHOP.I THINK FOMOCO SHOULD FIX THIS . AS FAR AS I'M AWARE IT IS ONLY THE 2004-2008 MODEL TRUCKS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
UNDER NORMAL OPERATION THE GAS PEDAL STOPS RESPONDING,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TO STOP , PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK , TURN OFF THE KEY AND RESTART THE TRUCK. THIS RESETS THE COMPUTER AND THE TRUCK SEEMS FINE FOR A WHILE TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES MOSTLY ON BACK ROADS. TODAY IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ENTERING A BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHILE PUMPING GAS INTO MY TRUCK, THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AND OVERSPRAYS ON TO THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 3 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS A HEALTH HAZARD IT WERE TO HAPPEN TO AN ELDERLY PERSON. THE PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT FIT SNUGLY INTO THE FUEL TANK. I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF THE ANGLE THAT THE FUEL LINE GOING INTO THE FUEL TANK IS POSITIONED, IT ALMOST SEEMS TO STEEP OF A TURN. ALL THREE TIMES THE FUEL BACKS UP INTO THE TANK AND OVERSPRAYS ME IF I'M STANDING CLOSE. I'VE LEARNED NOT TO STAND CLOSE NOW, BUT I STILL GET FUEL ALL ON ME WHEN I HAVE TO HANG UP THE FUEL PUMP, AND FUEL IS ALL ON THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK NOW TOO.... VERY IRRITATING FORD! *TR

AIR BAGS
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO FORD'S 2006 F150 DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL. FORD IS REFUSING TO GIVE THE DEALERSHIPS THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE ANTI THEFT BOX THAT THE AIR BAG IS IN TO DO THE SAFETY RECALL. THEY INSTRUCT THE SERVICE TEAM TO "USE A DREMEL TOOL". THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. SERVICE TEAM IS "NOT COMFORTABLE" USING A DREMEL TO FIX THIS. ANY THING DONE LIKE THIS TO THIS VEHICLE WILL VOID ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES!!!! SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN DONE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENS TO MINE AS SOMEONE ELSE HAD ALREADY POSTED.. POWER STEERING BECOMES 'HARD'. STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECOMES STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. HARD TO TURN. CHOPPY WHILE TURNING AND SNAPS BACK IN INCREMENTS INSTEAD OF A SMOOTH, EASY RETURN TO CENTER. FEELS LIKE MANUAL STEERING THEN RETURNS TO POWER STEERING. OCCURS AT ANY SPEED, VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. MAKES THE VEHICLE STEER 'CHOPPY' AND UNPREDICTABLE. HAVE STOPPED USING THE VEHICLE, CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. *TR
