I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON THE WAY TO WORK AROUND 8 PM. WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I REACTED IN ACCORDANCE AND HIT MY BRAKES PRETTY HARD. WHEN I DID MY TRUCK PULLED TO THE LEFT AND TOOK ME INTO THE MEDIAN. WHEN I TRIED TO CORRECT MY VEHICLE THE BACK END STARTED SLIDING OUT AS I TRIED TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD. WHEN MY TRUCK FINALLY CAUGHT TRACTION IT SHOT ME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT DID THE SAME THING. SLIDING THE BACK END OUT. THIS TIME I WAS SLIDING PERPENDICULAR TO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN MY TRUCK FOUND SOMETHING SOLID TO STOP THE SLIDE IT STARTED TO ROLL. DURING THE CRASH I WAS THROWN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AFTER THE FIRST ROLL AND KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS. AFTER I WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL I WENT TO COLLECT THE THINGS FROM MY TRUCK THAT HAD BEEN PICKED UP. WHEN I GOT TO THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT NON OF MY AIRBAGS HADN'T DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A PRETTY SERIOUS CRASH THAT TOTALED MY TRUCK. THE CAB AND BED OF THE TRUCK WERE BOTH CRUMPLED BUT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG HAD DEPLOYED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 6 MPH AND TURNING LEFT, THE VEHICLE SLID ON WET PAVEMENT AND CRASHED INTO A WALL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE SEPARATED AND ROLLED INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR ROTOR AND STUDS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD TO ALSO REPLACE THE STEERING RACK AND PINION DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 136,000.
FACTORY WELDS ON WHEELS FAILED CAUSING RAPID LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES ON TWO DIFFERENT WHEELS.
MORNING OF JULY 23,2015, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPR SPEED WHEN NUMBER THREE SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT OF THE CYLANDERHEAD ON MY F-150 TRITON V8. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL MACHANIC SHOP WALTON'S. THREE HOURS LATER, WALTON'S HAD TO REPLACE AND RESLEEVE NUMBER THREE CYLANDERHEAD AND REPLACED ELECTRICAL SPARKPLUG WIRE, PLUS REPLACED ALL EIGHT SPARK PLUGS. ALL AT A COST OF $543.00. NOT ONLY THIS HAPPENED TO ME BUT WALTON'S STATED THAT I WAS THE 10TH PERSON THIS WEEK THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. I PRESENTED THE PART TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK (HALL'S FORD MOTOR COMPANY) BRAND NEW IN 2006 AND PAID CASH TO THE SUM OF $30,000.00. I ASKED THEM IF THEY KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM WITH TRITON V8'S. THEY STATED THEY DID BUT NO KNOW RECALLS AND THEY TOO HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS COME IN FOR THE SAME THING IN THE PASS WEEK. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS AWARE OF THIS MATTER BUT NEVER LET THERE CUSTOMERS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM YET BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON FILE TO LET THEM KNOW. THIS THING WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS COME FLYING OUT OF AN ENGINE CAN BE VERY HAZARDS, IT COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR EVEN GIVE A PERSON A HEART ATTACK BECAUSE THE TRUCK SOUNDS LIKE WORLD WAR III GOING OFF UNDER THE HOOD AND IT MAY EVEN START A FIRE. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD.
MY FACTORY TIRES, BF GOODRICH LONG TRAIL T/A, ON MY FORD F-150 KING RANCH BOUGHT NEW IN 2006 LASTED ONLY 21,428 MILES. THEY GAVE ME A LOUSY $236. AND IT COST ME $708.TO REPLACE ALL 4. NOW, 18,270 MILES LATER THERE ARE LESS THE 4/32 LEFT ON THE TREAD. ON A RECENT OIL CHANGE, A DEALER WOULD NOT ROTATE MY TIRES BECAUSE OF THE WARE. NOW I AM BEING TOLD - SORRY NO WARRANTY LEFT! - I AM LIVID! CAN ANYTHING BE DONE? *TR
MY 2006 FORD F150 HAS THE POSITRACTION REAR END. ITS WENT OUT AROUND 25000 TO 30000 MILES, WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER FIXED IT NO CHARGE. NOW THE TRUCK HAS A LITTLE OVER 62000 MILES AND THE REAR END HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILES ON THE REAR END. WARRANTY WAS UP AT 60000 MILES SO ITS NO LONGER COVERED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME ITS HAPPENED ON THE SAME TRUCK. *TR
PURCHASED A FORD 2006 F150 LARIAT HARLEY DAVIDSON EDITION FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP TOOK VEHICLE OUT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND NOTICED THAT IT HAD A MISSFIRE, DEALERSHIP PROMISED TO REPAIR A COIL WHICH THEY BELIEVED WAS THE ISSUE I WAS SENT TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALL THEIR VEHICLES SERVICED. AFTER DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE WAS TOLD THAT THREE COILS WERE BAD AND THREE SPARK PLUGS WERE BROKEN OFF IN THE CYLINDER HEAD WHICH HAD TO BE REMOVED TO CLEAN OUT AND RESURFACED ALONG WITH THE VALVES AND PISTONS AT A COST OF $1,800.00 WHICH MY PURCHASED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER OR THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER EITHER, SO AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE LISTED ON SEVERAL COMPLAINT FORUMS WAS WONDERING WHETHER THIS ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN UP THE ISSUE WITH FORD? *TR
MY SON WAS KILLED IN HIS 2006 FORD 150 PICKUP TRUCK DRIVING 45 MILES AN HOUR. HIS TRUCK APPARENTLY LEFT THE ROAD WITH NO SIGNS OF BRAKES BEING APPLIED, FLIPPED SEVERAL TIMES. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. HIS INSURANCE COMPANY WAS THREATENING ME TO RELEASE THE TRUCK FROM STORAGE WHICH I DID. I HAVE SINCE REGAINED MY SENSES ENOUGH TO SEARCH THE WEB AND SEE THAT THERE WERE MANY RECALLS ON THE BRAKE LINES OF THIS MAKE TRUCK. *TR
SLOW AIR LEAK IN TIRE. DEALER FOUND A CRACK IN THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL NEXT TO THE TIRE BEAD. CRACK IS ONLY ON THE INSIDE, VERTICAL FACE OF THE WHEEL. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME FOR THIS FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE I OWNED IT. THE SERVICE PERSON OFFERED TO SELL ME A NEW WHEEL. I ASSUME THIS PART IS OEM AND HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED. I ORDERED THE NEW PART. *TR
DURING ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS (WINTER ICE AND SNOW, COLD TEMPS) MY WHEELS HAD ICE FREEZE IN THEM CREATING AN IMPOSSIBLE STEERING SITUATION. THE DESIGN OF THESE WHEELS ALLOWS THEM TO HOLD ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER ABOUT 3 INCHES IN LENGTH, WHEN THIS FREEZES THE RESULT IS AN OUT OF BALANCE WHEEL, ( IN THIS CASE 4 OUT OF BALANCE WHEELS) MAKING THEM WOBBLE (VIBRATE) UNCONTROLLABLY ON ICY ROADS. THIS CAUSED ME TO EXPERIENCE A TERRIFYING DRIVE FOR THE 17 MILES TO TOWN. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH A LESS EXPERIENCED DRIVER. *JB
MY 2006 FORD F-150 SUPER CAB PICKUP, 2X4, V-8 ENGINE, HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS FALLING TOWARDS THE GROUND CAUSING ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO PICK UP MOVING TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY...I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THREE DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A TRADE-IN ON A TRUCK WITH POWER MIRRORS...I HAVE HAD (3) NEW SETS OF MIRRORS INSTALLED ON THIS TRUCK ALREADY SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN JANUARY 2006....I HAVE HAD A RESTRICTION PUT ON MY DRIVERS LICENSE STATING THAT I MUST HAVE A RIGHT HAND MIRROR ON ALL VEHICLES I DRIVE DUE TO HAVING AMBLYOPIA IN MY RIGHT EYE....CAN'T SEE ANYTHING WHEN MY MIRRORS POINT DOWN TOWARDS THE GROUND...SHOULDN'T' HAVE TO TAKE A BEATING ON THE TRADE-IN SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN GOOD FAITH BELIEVING THAT FORD WOULD STAND BEHIND ITS WARRANTY...THEY ARE NOT REIMBURSING ME FOR THE TIME OR GAS TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIRS AND I BELIEVE THREE SETS OF MIRRORS ARE ENOUGH....I WANT THIS TO BE DOCUMENTED IN CASE THAT I HAVE A MINOR OR MAJOR ACCIDENT THAT IS INVOLVING A LIFE BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE OUT OF MY MIRROR WHILE CHANGING A LANE..... *NM
PURCHASED A FORD 2006 F-150 4X4 SO I COULD USE IT OFF ROAD AND THROUGH SNOW WHEN NECESSARY. TRIED TO HAVE CHAINS PUT ON IT AS CHP REQUIRES AND WAS TOLD THIS VEHICLE WILL NOT TAKE CHAINS DUE TO THE CONFIGURATION OF THE BRAKE LINES. WAS NOT TOLD THIS UP FRONT WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE. WHY BUY A 4X4 IF YOU CAN'T USE IT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER? FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
