VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
DT: LAST YEAR OWNER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH OWNER TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AND PUT IT ON THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD LIKE IT WANTED TO GO 70 MPH. THEN , A WEEK AGO, OWNER'S WIFE WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND SHE LEFT SKID MARKS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND SHE TRIED TO STOP. OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER LAST YEAR. THE FIRST TIME THE SALESMAN CALLED FORD, AND THEY COULDN'T ADVISE WHAT WAS CAUSING PROBLEM. ON APRIL 14, 2005 DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT THIS DIDN'T HELP. THEN YESTERDAY THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED FORD, AND TALKED TO ENGINEER, AND ENGINEER CLAIMED THAT PEOPLE WERE ACCIDENTALLY PUSHING BRAKE PEDAL AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME. IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS, OWNER PURCHASED FOUR NEW FORDS, AND NONE HAD THE ACCELERATOR PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED SOMETIMES LESS THAN ONCE A MONTH, THEN, IT MIGHT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE WEEK. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. OWNER WAS NOT AWARE OF RESULTS OF DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE. OWNER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. OWNER DIDN'T HAVE DEALER'S ADDRESS INFORMATION.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DT: THE CONSUMER BOUGHT A USED 2004 FORD F150 AND HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE DYING WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS OCCURS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS AND AT SLOWER SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TOOK TO A DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED EEC DIAGNOSTIC QUICK TEST AND PINPOINT TEST DIAGNOSTIC IGNITION TESTS AS WELL. AS A RESULT OF THOSE TESTS THEY REPLACED A MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR ASSEMBLY AND REPROGRAMMED THE PCM. HAS BEEN TO DEALER ON 4 OCCASIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND DEALER CLAIMS THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. CONTACTED FORD MANUFACTURER THEY HAD "JOYSTICK"OR TEST STICK INSTALLED IN VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS IN WHICH CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 1 TIME SINCE. ALSO ON THE DASH THERE IS A 4X4 HIGH/LO LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH WHEN THIS OCCURS BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. DEALER SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO RESET THE PCM TO CORRECT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM, NO RECENT REPAIRS. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *JB

EQUIPMENT
THE BRAKE PEDAL IN OUR 04 F150 WAS NOT DEPRESSED AND OUR 5 YEAR-OLD HIT THE SHIFT AND THE TRUCK WENT INTO REVERSE AT A HIGH SPEED. THE TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO BE EQUIPPED WITH A BRAKE-SHIFT INTERLOCKING FEATURE THAT DID NOT WORK. THE TRUCK IS SEVERELY DAMAGED, THERE WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE, I CALLED FORD AND THEY ARE NOT ACCEPTING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND SAID THAT OUR INSURANCE PAID 900. SO THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OR REPAIR THE DAMAGED VEHICLE.

FORD F150 TRUCK - THE TRUCK INTERMITTENLY EXHIBITS SEVERE VIBRATION THAT CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AS WELL AS IN THE CAB. THE WHOLE TRUCK SHACKES WHEN THIS OCCURS. THE VIBRATION OCCURS PRIMARILY AT SPEEDS OF 40-60 MPH; BUT, HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS IN THE 75 MPH RANGE TOO. THERE IS A LOW LEVEL VIBRATION THAT IS PRESENT MOST OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS LOW LEVEL VIBRATION TURNS INTO THE SEVERE VIBRATION PERIODICALLY. THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON SMOOTH PAVEMENT. IT IS VERY SCAREY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURS. THE DRIVE SHAFT AND ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE DEALER TRIED 4 NEW TIRES ON THE TRUCK TOO. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.....ALAS IT IS INTERMITTENT AND THE DEALER HAS NOT SEEN IT. ONE INTERESTING FACT. WHEN THE DEALER PUTS THE TRUCK ON THE LIFT TO CHECK IT, THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A WEEK OR TWO; BUT, THEN RETURNS.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1) BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. IT WAS SERVICED BY FRIENDLY FORD BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST, EXTREME SEVERE VIBRATION THAT IT SHAKES THE WHOLE TRUCK WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN THE SAID VEHICLE AT 65 MPH GOING DOWNHILL. THE CONDITION IS WORSE THAN BEFORE IT WAS SERVICED. I BEG NHTSA TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. 2) ENGINE OR COMPUTER ELECTRICAL PROBLEM? ENGINE LOSSES POWER AND DROPS TO FAIL SAFE MODE. TOTALLY GUTLESS WHILE COMING IN TO FREEWAY FROM AN OFFRAMP OR DURING CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. AFTER HOURS OF DRIVING IT COMES BACK TO NORMAL. I TRIED DIFFERENT GRADES OF FUELS OCTANE IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY DIFFFERENCE IT DID MALFUNCTION IN SIMILAR WAY. VERY SCARY AND DAGEROUS EXPERIENCE. 3) DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW AND REAR WINSHIELD POWER WINDOW MALFUNCTIONS. EXTREME WATER INTRUSION DURING RAIN AND CAR WASH TIME. IT HAS HARSH MECHANICAL NOISE INSIDE THE DOOR.

PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL:MECHANICAL:LINKAGE AND CABLE
DT VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT VIBRATION, IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT 45 MPH AND ABOVE. THE DEALER STATES ITS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. THEY HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNTS, AND THE REAR END TWICE BECAUSE THE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT
MY 2004 FORD F150 WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY IN PARK WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND AC ON MAX. I LEFT IT RUNNING WHILE I UNLOADED THE BACK SEAT OF SEVERAL ITEMS. I THEN CLOSED THE DOORS AND PROCEEDED TO UNLOAD 4 CASES OF WATER FROM THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I MADE 5 TRIPS FROM THE TRUCK TO THE HOUSE AND WHEN I RETURNED AND PUT THE TAILGATE BACK UP MY TRUCK TOOK OFF TOWARDS MY HOUSE AND IMPACTED THE BRICK WALL OF THE GARARGE (APPROX 20 TO 25 FOOT DISTANCE). I TRIED TO RUN FROM THE BACK AND OPEN THE DOOR AND APPLY THE BRAKE BUT THE TRUCK HIT THE HOUSE AS I GOT THE DOOR OPEN. THE SHIFTER WAS STILL IN PARK. I APPLYED THE BRAKE AND PUT IT IN REVERSE AND MOVED IT BACK TO REVEAL THE DAMAGE. MY WIFE AND I TESTED THIS AFTERWARDS TO ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THIS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT. MY HOUSE AND THE TRUCK ARE DAMAGED AND I FEEL THAT THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REALLY HURT SOMEONE. AFTER BEING TOLD OF THIS SITE BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE AND ONE HAS ALMOST AN IDENTICAL STORY. SEE COMPLAINT 10081205. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY INFORMATION YET.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 F-150 REGULAR CAB PICKUP IN MAY OF 04. IT HAS HAD A SERIOUS VIBRATION SINCE NEW. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS "TEETHING" PROBLEMS, GETTING BROKEN IN AS IT WERE. THE DEALER REPLACED TWO DRIVE SHAFTS, A DAMPENER AND A COMPLETE REAR END DOWN TO THE BREAK ROTORS. NONE OF THIS HAS HELPED WITH THE VIBRATION. I TOOK IT TO A SECOND DEALER AFTER THE ORIGINAL REFUSED TO SWAP THE TRUCK OUT AS A GOOD FAITH GESTURE. INSTEAD THEY WANTED TO "TRADE" THE TRUCK. I WAS OFFERD TEN THOUSAND PLUS LESS THAN I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK FOR, LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS EARLIER. THE TRUCK I WANTED TO "SWAP" FOR WENT UP OVER SIX THOUSAND MORE THAN THE STICKER PRICE. THE SECOND DEALER KEPT IT MORE THAN TWO WEEKS AND COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THEIR SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL TTRUCKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND HAD NO LUCK WITH RECTIFYING IT. THE ORIGINAL SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WAS A LEMON, THE SECOND SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT WAS A LEMON. NEITHER WOULD PUT IT IN WRITING, FOR FEAR OF JOB LOSS. FORD HAS BEEN NO HELP WITH THE ISSUE, AFTER REPEATED PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THIS IS MY ONLY "RELIABLE" VEHICLE. IT NOW HAS @17800.0 MILES ON IT MAINLY HIGHWAY. THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE WITH TIME AND MILAGE. I FEEL THAT ANY THING MECHANICAL THAT VIBRATES WILL EVENTUALY BREAK. IF I WAS LOOKING TO BUY THIS VEHICLE USED AND FELT THE VIBRATION I WOULD WALK AWAY FROM IT! IT IS THAT BAD. INCIDENT DATE APPROXIMATE

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
THE CONTROL BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT PERFORM INTENDED FUNCTION, OR FAIL ENTIRELY. OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS ARE LIT, THE BUTTONS DO NOT LIGHT. THEY MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON LATER IN THE DRIVE. THE VOLUME + BUTTON MAKES THE CD TRACK OR RADIO STATION SKIP TO THE NEXT ONE, THE VOLUME - BUTTON MAKES THE VOLUME INCREASE. THE MEM BUTTON DOES NOTHING. THE CRUISE CONTROL STARTED SLIPPING, AS IF IT "FORGOT" THAT IT WAS ON. AND THE TRUCK ACCELLERATES, OR SLOWS. WHEN THE CRUISE WAS ON YESTERDAY, THE "RESUME" BUTTON DIDN'T WORK, AND THE "SET" BUTTON CAUSED THE TRUCK TO ACCELLERATE. FREQUENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL SIMPLY WILL NOT TURN ON AND SET AT ALL.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
ABOUT ONE WEEK AFTER I PURCHSED MY TRUCK I WAS STOPPING AT STOP SIGN, AND MY TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCLERATED. THIS HAPPENS OCASSOANALLY. IT CAN HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK OR IT CAN GO A COUPLE MONTHS WITHOUT A INCIDENT. I HAD IT TO THE DEALER (ZIMMERMAN FORD IN CEDAR RAPIDS IOWA) THEY REPROGRAMED IT AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TOLD THEM MANY TIMES THAT IT WAS STILL OCCURING AND THEY SAID IF THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THEY HAD IT THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIE PROBLEM FOR 18 MOUNTHS NOW. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A ACCIDENT 3 TIMES AND WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYMORE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY REFERED ME BACK TO THE DEALER, WHICH HAS GOTTEN ME NOWHERE. I SEE WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN 8 OR MORE COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSIGHT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY FORD DEALER SAID THEY HAVE A THING CALLED OASIS FOR DEALERS TO REPORT THEASE PROBLEMS TO FORD AND THERE WAS NOT ANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
REAR AXLE WHINE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED. UNREPAIRED TWO TIMES BY DEALERSHIP. THIRD REPAIR REFUSED BY ME BECAUSE DEALERSHIP AND FORD REFUSED TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE AND WANTED TO KEEP MY TRUCK FOR AN INDEFINATE PERIOD OF TIME TO DISCOVER WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITHOUT PROVIDING ME A LOANER/RENTAL. A MANDITORY RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY IS REPLACED, NOT JUST THE RING AND PINION. UNDER THE CURRENT TSB'S FOR THIS PROBLEM THEIR IS TOO MUCH ROOM FOR ERROR! VEHICLE ONLY HAS 5000 MILES.
