FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE COIL PACKS AND PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED ON DIFFERENT TIMES AND THE VEHICLE STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. FORD HAS TO FIND A BETTER SOLUTION TO FIX THESE ONGOING ISSUES SO THE CUSTOMER DOES NOT HAVE TO KEEP PAYING ALL THIS MONEY FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. ENGINE LOST POWER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SHAKES WHEN IDLING. PAINT ON FRONT OF VEHICLE STARTED PEELING OFF. ALL SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN CONDUCTED A T A FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED EXCEPT FOR TODAY WITH (2) MORE COIL PACKS HAD TO BE INSTALLED AT A LOCAL GARAGE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A BIG PROBLEM AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT OR FORD WILL FIND GOOD CUSTOMERS GOING TO OTHER VEHICLE BRANDS. *TR

ENGINE
BOUGHT THIS FORD F150 USED WITH 95,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THE PLUGS AND FUEL FILTER NEEDED REPLACED BY THE 100,000 RANGE. MY LOCAL GARAGE SPENT HOURS REPLACING ONE PLUG AND WHEN THEY CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS A LONG ON GOING PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID, THEY COULD REMOVE THE PLUGS BUT IT WOULD BE $500.00 DOLLARS TO START AND IF THE PLUGS BROKE OFF IN THE HEADS THE COST COULD BE AS MUCH AS $3,000.00 IF THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE HEADS. RESEARCH SHOWS ME THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR EVER AND FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR OR RECALL THE F150 5.4 3V SPARK PLUG PROBLEM. BUILD UP AROUND THE BASE OF THE PLUGS FROM POOR HEAD DESIGN IS COSTING US CONSUMERS THOUSANDS. PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT JUST TRYING TO REMOVE THESE PLUGS. I FEEL FORD SHOULD RECALL THE F150 WITH THIS ENGINE AND REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ENGINE HEADS WITH A PLUG THAT CAN BE REPLACED AT A FAIR PRICE NOT THIS STUPID THOUSANDS PEOPLE ARE SPENDING. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
MICHELIN LTX AT2 TIRES. EXCESSIVE CRACKING. TIRES WITH 30,000 MILES ON THEM AND WELL OVER ONE-HALF TREAD REMAINING HAVE DEVELOPED WIDESPREAD SIDEWALL CRACKS. CRACKS ARE MORE THAN COSMETIC, YOU CAN ACTUALLY FEEL RAISED BUMPS IF YOU RUN YOUR HAND OVER THEM. THE CRACKS SEEM SEVERE ENOUGH THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT TIRE FAILURES, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, AND EVIDENCE THAT MICHELIN HAS BEEN QUIETLY OFFERING DISCOUNTED REPLACEMENTS TO THOSE WHO COMPLAIN DIRECTLY TO THEM. I RECENTLY FILED A COMPLAINT ON THEIR WEBSITE BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ENOUGH THAT A MORE FORMAL PROGRAM ON MICHELIN'S PART SEEMS WARRANTED. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY FORD 2005 F150 KING RANCH SUPERCREW 4X4 ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55-60MPH. ON ALL THREE OCCASIONS, I FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE ENGINE DIED AND NO POWER STEERING. IF I HAD NOT BEEN IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD, THEN AN REAR ENGINE COLLISION WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY OCCURRED IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN OUTER LANE OF A MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE THIRD OCCASION THIS PAST WEEK, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS WHERE IT COST ME $700.00 TO HAVE THROTTLE BODY/MOTOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED. MY OBD READINGS AT HOME WERE P2104 AND P2112. IF NOT ALREADY, THIS ISSUE IS A FATALLY WAITING TO HAPPEN. LOTS OF CHATTER ON INTERNET OF SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR
