ENGINE
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 151,000 MILES ON IT. IT RAN GOOD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS THEN IT STALLED WHEN I WAS GOING INTO A LEFT HAND TURN BUT RESTARTED. IT REPEATED THE PROBLEM A FEW MORE TIMES THEN WOULD NOT RESTART. I TOWED IT BACK TO THE USED CAR DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY REPLACEDD THE FUEL PUMP. THAT LASTED ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. I SEEN MANY OWNERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRUCKS. FORD NEED'S TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THE VEHICLE STALLED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. AT A IDLE, AT 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE, IN THE CITY AT 40 MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN AN ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION ZONE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AUTOMATICALLY DROPPED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED INTO A DITCH TO AVOID A CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHILE IN THE DITCH, THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF; HOWEVER, THE REAR WHEELS KEPT SPINNING FOR THIRTY SECONDS. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FULL PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEFORE IT WOULD DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT ASSIST. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,365

SERVICE BRAKES
RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, BOTH THE ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY TRUCK. THE MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED A READING OF CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM. THE BRAKES BEGAN TO HAVE A PULSATION TO THEM AND THE TRUCK JUST DID NOT WANT TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A MECHANICAL SHOP WHERE THEY CHARGED ME TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM CAUSING THESE SYMPTOMS. THEIR FINDINGS WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS REVEALED A FAILED ABS MODULE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

POWER TRAIN
THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT BETWEEN TRANSFER CASE AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS HELD BY A DRIVE SHAFT BRACKET/BEARING WHERE THE TOP OF IT IS WELDED TO THE FRAME CROSS MEMBER. DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE POORLY WELDED BRACKET CAME LOOSE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURE THE WELD WAS POORLY DONE AND HAD NO PENETRATION INTO THE METAL. THE METAL WAS NOT TORN AT ALL AND BROKE COMPLETELY CLEAN OFF WHICH DICTATE A VERY POOR JOB ON THE WELD ITSELF. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THIS PART IS BASICALLY A DUAL SHARP BLADES AT THE WELD BREAK, CONNECTED TO THE DRIVE SHAFT AT FAST RPMS WOULD TAKE LITTLE TO NO TIME TO PUNCTURE AND IGNITE THE NEAR BY FUEL TANK. AS I WAS TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE RIGHT AWAY. IF THIS BREAK OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I FEEL THAT IT WOULD HAVE EASILY PUNCTURED THE FUEL TANK AND IGNITED THE FUEL CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FIRE AND PROBABLE EXPLOSION THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND QUIT RUNNING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK AND ONLY AVOIDED A MAJOR ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAD ROOM TO GO TO THE RIGHT AND THE SEMI HAD ROOM TO SWERVE AROUND ME ON THE LEFT. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A MELTED FUSE BUT THAT THEY WERE ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD A "FIX" KIT IN STOCK AND THE REPAIR PROCESS ALREADY DOCUMENTED TO REROUTE THAT FUSE. THIS MEANS THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I PRESUME WAS JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE ISSUING A RECALL.I HAVE THE REPAIR ORDER AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD DIRECTLY THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE $650.00 COST AND DID NOT SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A MAJOR ACCIDENT WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPS RUNNING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE TRUCK IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND AT ALL SPEEDS. MY HUSBAND HAS TO PULL AND RESET FUSE 27 TO ALLOW THE FUEL PUMP TO RECIEVE POWER. THIS HAS PUT MY HUSBAND IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS AS IT HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON TWO LANE HIGHWAYS. WE ARE REQUESTING A SERVICE VOUCHER BE SENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM WE UNDERSTAND HAS ALREADY HAD A BULLETIN SENT OUT FOR. IT IS A FORD ISSUE AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING REMEDIED. WE WERE QUOTED A PRICE OF AROUND $300 TO CHANGE OUT THE RELAY THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP AS A SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER ISSUE. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THAT DEVICE DOES FOR THE AIR BAGS ASSEMBLY, BUT I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD HAVE REPLACE THIS FREE OF CHARGE; REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF THE TRUCK OR THE MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE PRICE WAS ALSO EXTREME FOR THAT PART. $372.18 JUST FOR THE PARTS. I PAID AN TOTAL OF $631,.65 FOR THIS ISSUE. FORD CASE NUMBER# CAS-16048449-G3B4MI
