  EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS ON MANY NEW CARS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM A CROSS STREET AT ALL IN THE SUN , THE FAR SIGNAL IS NOT VISIBLE BECAUSE IT IS SO FAR BACK IT SHOULD BE CALLED A SIDE MARKER LIGHT. GET THEM BACK UP FRONT WHERE THEY ARE USEFUL !! ALSO THE DRIVING LIGHTS THAT ARE NOW ARE NOT DIMS , BUT ARE BEING USED AS SUCH. NOT SO MANY YEARS AGO , YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED FOR DRIVING WITH AUXILIARY LIGHTS ON!!*JB

  SUSPENSION, TIRES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM

  DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAS SEVERAL PROBLEMS. WHILE DRIVING AT NO SPECIFIC SPEED, THE FRONT END VIBRATED AND RATTLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE SECOND PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE ENTERING A CURVE AT 55MPH, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW. THE TIRE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE ALTHOUGH, THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE THIRD PROBLEM IS THE COOLING SYSTEM BOLTS WERE LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WHEN THE LOOSENESS OF THE BOLTS WAS DISCOVERED. THE DEALERSHIP TIGHTENED THE BOLTS FOR REPAIR.

  POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  2006 F150 FX 4 -4X4 SUPER CAB 5.4 L. I TRADED THE EXACT SAME TRUCK IN AN 04 MODEL YEAR FOR THIS 2006. FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX ( FOR 3 MODEL YEARS ) : DRIVE TRAIN VIBRATION, DRIVE TRAIN HOWL/WHINE. THE 04 WAS IN THE SHOP 6 TIMES WITH NO FIX. MY 06 IN THE DEALERSHIP NOW. I HAVEN'T MADE THE FIRST PAYMENT OR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. PROBLEMS NOT PRESENT ON TEST DRIVE. STARTED AT 500 MILES. OTHER PROBLEMS INCLUDE : BRAKE PEDAL IS MUSH. IT NEVER FIRMS UP. IT WILL GO TO THE FLOOR. DOORS WONT SHUT WITHOUT SLAMMING. SUPER CAB DOORS WONT SHUT TIGHT WITHOUT PUSHING TOP IN. MY BEST FUEL ECONOMY IS 13 MPG HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE ON. THE "NEW" F150'S ARE A DISGRACE TO THE FORD NAME. $ 38,000 P.O.S. !! MY LAST FORD. *NM

  STEERING:RACK AND PINION

  WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING SEEMED SLOPPY AND UNRESPONSIVE. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANES ESPECIALLY GOING INTO OR OUT OF CURVES. UPON REACHING MY DESTINATION I ASKED MY ASSOCIATE TO OBSERVE THE STEERING COMPONENTS WHILE I TURNED THE WHEEL WITH THE ENGINE OFF. HE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE ENTIRE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THAT OF THE TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE UNIT TO THE CHASSIS ONE HAD A LOOSE NUT AND THE OTHER HAD NO NUT AT ALL. THE THREADS ON THE BOLT W/O THE NUT APPEARED TO NEVER HAVE EVEN HAD A NUT BUT I CAN NOT BE SURE OF THIS. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS A LITTLE MORE THAN UPSET THAT I HAD PUT MYSELF AND OTHERS AT GREAT RISK OVER POOR ASSEMBLY QUALITY CONTROL. *JB
