FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 90 IN MICHIGAN TRUCK STARTED MISFIRING AND ABOUT 1000 FEET LATER THE ENGINE QUIT ALTOGETHER. REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WHICH THE MECHANIC SAID WAS VERY COMMON IN NORTHERN STATES. CORROSION BETWEEN DISSIMILAR METALS CAUSED THE MODULE CASE TO BREAK AND ALLOW WATER INSIDE AND SHORT THE MODULE OUT. *TR

STEERING
STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY BINDING CAUSING SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS 37,000 MILES CURRENTLY. I PAID FORD DEALER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND THEY STATE THE STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY WAS "BINDING". IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE PART WAS ON A "NATIONAL BACKORDER". WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR, ONLY MAKE A NOTE IN "MY FILE". SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THE NEED FOR A RECALL NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

STEERING
SOMETIME IN FEBRUARY 2011 I NOTICED THE STEERING IN MY 2006 FORD F-150 TO BE GETTING VERY TIGHT AND EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GET BETTER OTHERS IT WAS WORSE. WHEN MAKING A TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NEVER RETURN ON ITS OWN. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED VEHICLE FOR A NEW CONTROL MODULE AND EXPLAINED MY STEERING PROBLEM THEY FLUSHED THE FLUID THE VEHICLE SEEMED BETTER FOR A WEEK AND GRADUALLY GOT WORSE. ON 05/31/2011 I AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THEY SAID IT WAS THE SOMETHING TO DO WITH STEERING SHAFT BINDING AND THE PART WOULD BE IN ON FRIDAY 06/04/2011. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THEM AGAIN THEY SAID THE PART WAS NOW ON BACKORDER AND THEY ALSO HAD 3 OTHER TRUCKS AT THE DEALER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COULD IT BE THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND THAT IS WHY THE PARTS ARE BACKORDERED OR WORSE FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND IS TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT WHILE I SIT HOME WITH NO VEHICLE. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (11S18) FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO DRIVER. I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT FOR THIS REPAIR AND DROPPED 2006 FORD F150 AT THE DEALER ON SCHEDULED DATE. THE TRUCK REPAIR COULDN'T BE PERFORMED BECAUSE FORD MOTOR COMPANY DID NOT SUPPLY THE PARTS. I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR THE DAY AS IT IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION AS I WORK 20 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD HAVE SUPPLIED THIS PART PRIOR TO THE SCHEDULED DATE PROVIDED TO ME. I THINK FORD MOTOR COMPANY OWES ME SOME TIME AND TRANSPORTATION NOW TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR TAKE THE PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT BACK. I HAVE NOT HAD A GOOD TO SAY THE LEAST EXPERIENCE WITH THIS FORD TRUCK AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS THE WAY I DO ABOUT FORD.AND THE PROBLEMS THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE ROAD AND TO THE CUSTOMERS. *TR

TIRES
I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 FORD F150 FROM A LOCAL FORD DEALER IN HUNTSVILLE, TX. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING HOME IT WAS VERY AN APPARENT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, THE VEHICLE HAD AN EXTREME VIBRATION. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER, REPORTED THE PROBLEM AND REQUESTED THEM TO ADDRESS IT, THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE EXPLAINED THAT THE TRUCK HAD SET ON THE CAR LOT FOR SOME TIME AND THE TIRES GET FLAT SPOTS AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM, SHE TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY. THIS VEHICLE WAS JUST DRIVEN OVER 160 MILES (FROM AUSTIN, TEXAS TO HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS, AS IT WAS A DEALER SWAP, IN ORDER TO GET A VEHICLE WITH THE SPECS I HAD REQUESTED), BEFORE I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE OVER 100 MILES BEFORE RETURNING TO THE DEALER TO REQUEST THIS PROBLEM BE CORRECTED, AFTER TALKING TO THEIR SERVICE PERSON, I PUT MORE MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE VIBRATION STILL EXIST, WENT BACK TO THE HUNTSVILLE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPT, AGAIN REQUESTED THE ROTATE AND BALANCE THE TIRES, LEFT THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS, MY RIDE HOME WAS NOT MUCH BETTER, STILL A VIBRATION, LATE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT AND IT WILL GET BETTER, SO I DROVE IT 34,000 MILES, NO CHANGE IN THE VIBRATION, HE ONLY CHANGE WAS A VERY UNEVEN WARE IN THE TIRES. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CAME UP WITH ALL KINDS OF REASONS WHY THEY ARE NOT LIABLE. I STILL HAVE THESE TIRES IN THE SHED BEHIND MY HOME, REMOVED AND REPLACED THEM WITH BF GOODRICH TIRES; THIS RESOLVED THE PROBLEM OF VIBRATION. NOW I WOULD LIKE A NEW SET OF TIRES TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE CONTINENTAL TIRES AND HAVE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THE FORD DEALERS UNSAFE PRACTICE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS, I WAS EXPERIENCING A ROUGH IDLE, LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ON FLAT SURFACES AS WELL AS CLIMBING HILLS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS 2 BAD COIL PACKS. THEY FIXED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED AND THEY REPLACED IT. DURING THIS TIME, I COULD ALWAYS SMELL THE ODOR OF GASOLINE. AFTER THE LARGE EXPENSE I WAS ASSUMING, I CALLED THE FORD DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY 2006 F-150 LARIAT. THE SERVICE MANAGER OF 22 YEARS APPARENTLY NEVER HEARD OF THE COIL PACK GOING BAD ALONG WITH THE SPARK PLUGS BREAKING DUE TO THIS. AFTER ARGUING FOR A WEEK WITH THEM, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL 8 COIL PACKS. DURING THIS SEQUENCE, A COIL PACK WAS GOING BAD WEEKLY AND I HAD TO CONTINUALLY HAVE IT IN THE SHOP. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND AS I CAN SEE, THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE ISSUES OUT THERE AND FORD CONTINUES TO DISREGARD A RECALL. THERE IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS GASOLINE WILL EMIT FROM THE CRACK IN THE COIL PACK AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
