Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f150. The contact stated that the LED display for the odometer malfunctioned intermittently. Ford stated that would repair the vehicle for $500. The contact was concerned about the safety risk. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.
My 2006 ford f 150 with a 4.6 lt v-8 factory installed spark plug came out damaging the ignition coil and starting a small fire.
2006 f150 4x4 lariat, 7557 miles. In cold temperature backup sensor sounds alarm as if obstruction is close when there is none. Took to local dealer and sales said this is normal for this model. Am waiting for service to schedule appointment as truck only has a few months left of warranty. Truck is only driven in winter and this is first time in 3 years this has happened.
Ford f-150 would not shut off, removed fuse to fuel pump. Found energy to other components not on. Removed negative battery terminal. Had vehicle towed to dealer. Report from dealer wire harness from ABS system burnt sending energy throughout truck. Dealer said truck should have burned up. Dealer could not confirm if problem was with ABS or harness.
Odometer started blinking and just quick working, dealer does not recognize a recall for a electronic failure. It seems numerous ford vehicles have the same issue. Dealer want to replace the entire cluster for a small fee of 700.00. Ford knows it is a issue but does not recognize the problem.
Horn didn't blow loud enough and I hit a grasshopper. Took the grasshopper to the emergency vet clinic for stitches. This cost me 110 dollars.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. The contact stated that her vehicle would not start on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least three times for the failure. After the most recent failure, the dealer changed the starter and the failure appeared to be remedied. In addition, when the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes extended to the floor. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they discovered that the seal failed in the master cylinder. The dealer replaced the seals in order to repair the failure. Shortly afterwards, the brakes began to emit a red, greasy substance on the wheel. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer, but they did not want to repair the vehicle. The dealer stated that all the brakes operated in that manner, but the contact disagreed by stating that the rear brakes did not. The dealer finally took the vehicle in; however, they only washed off the grease. The contact retrieved the vehicle and the brakes extended to the floor again. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and they stated that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The manufacturer took the contact's information, but offered no assistance. Most recently, she heard a noise from the brakes when driving in reverse and braking. The noise was described as a cracking sound. The current mileage was 14,380 and failure mileage was approximately 12,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f150. The contact stated that the air bag light continues to illuminate, the vehicle shuts off and has to be restarted, the fuel gauge displays incorrect readings, and the headlights illuminate and dim without warning. The current mileage was 31,112 and failure mileage was 20,000.
Instrument cluster completely failed without warning. Brought to two dealerships who advised that part was not available due to nationwide issue and offered no eta on part availability. Advised not to drive vehicle. Company truck is only slightly over one year old (10 days) and is still under dealer warrantly. Spoke with nationwide customer representatives who have denied problem with cluster exists despite order backlog and have been told nothing can be done. Spoke with manufacturer(electra-sound) who advised part not made for months and no eta on when manufacturing will begin. No resolution from ford. Investigation of instrument clusters on ford 500's noted.
Instrument cluster has a short. Part cost will be $500. Plus labor. This means cluster will start a fire. Eventually. Right now the dash is intermittent. Sometimes there is no speedometer, AC, engine temperature,cruise control, oil pressure, fan, defrost. These go on and off while driving. Since truck is only one year old, this means ford wants you to pay up to a thousand dollars a year for an instrument cluster. This should be a recall.
Instrument panel goes off and on. Took to dealer for recall on this problem #06c11. 24 hours later truck dash still intermittent. No odometer reading at all now. Speedometer, AC, cruise control, tachometer and water temperature gauge go off and on while driving. Time length random. Very disconcerting not to know how fast you are driving. Problem is increasing-anywhere from 1 to 5 times in an hour of driving.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. While driving 60 MPH, the contact smelled smoke coming from the vehicle. She was then alerted by a motorist that her vehicle was on fire. There were no warning indicators. She pulled over and exited the vehicle before it became engulfed in flames. The fire department extinguished the fire. The cause of the fire was undetermined. The vehicle was towed away. The vehicle had an oil change two days before the fire. The current and failure mileages were 36,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. While driving at various speeds, the contact hears a thumping noise. The dealer stated that the solenoid needs to be replaced. The current and failure mileages were 43,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. The vehicle was purchased with only 30 miles. The contact asked the dealer prior to purchasing the vehicle if there were any related recalls and was advised that there were none. The contact received recall notice 06c11 on april 7, 2007 stating that the instrument cluster calibration had not been repaired. The manager confirmed that they were aware of the recall notice five months prior to the purchase. However, was not advised to schedule an appointment for the repairs. Also, the dealer stated that the module behind the dash was faulty. The contact stated that cruise control was near the related recall component and could catch on fire. On two prior occasions during an oil change the dealer indicated the incorrect mileage. This could potentially affect the vehicle's warranty, and indicate that the contact has exceeded the allotted mileage for the next oil change. The current and failure mileage were 10,500.
Dt*: the contact stated two weeks after purchasing the vehicle while accelerating, the engine sputtered and the check engine light illuminated. The dealership was unable to determine the problem, but replaced the fuel injector. The vehicle operated worse after the repair. The manufacturer sent an engineer to test drive the vehicle. While driving at an unknown speed, smoke flowed from the engine compartment. The vehicle was pulled over and then erupted in flames. A police report was taken and the fire department extinguished the fire. The two rear tires and tailgate were the only salvageable parts. Due to the extensive damage, the cause of the fire was unknown.
Dt*: the contact stated a recall repair could not be performed because a required tool was unavailable. The dealer did not want to schedule an appointment until the tool was available. A recall letter was received in february and the vehicle did not have any problems prior to receiving the letter on the manufacturers recall # 06c11 concerning the electrical system.
Gas pedal to brake is a 3" lift from gas pedal than apply brakes on new f-150 w/5 speed transmission,this increases time to stop over one second. Also the accessory 12v port for phones or ipods etc doesn't shut-off when key is removed,possibly causing a vehicle fire if left unattended for any long length of time.
