2005 Ford F-150 Complaint Log

I HAD JUST ROLLED UP THE WINDOWS ON MY TRUCK, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP COME FROM THE PASSENGER DOOR. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO. THIS IS TWICE IN THE 8 YEARS I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS SINCE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME TRUCK SHUT OFF ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE INDICATOR CAME ON ENGINE SHUT OFF ALL FUNCTIONS,BRAKES POWER STEERING. *TR

TRUCK STARTED STALLING IN TRAFFIC & INTERSECTIONS. HAD TO CONTINUE TO RESTART. FINALLY MADE IT HOME. THEN TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR. REMOVE & REPLACE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (PART WAS SEVERELY CORRODED) TECHNICIAN WAS SURPRISED THAT THE TRUCK EVEN RAN. FORD PICK A POOR LOCATION FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ITEM. REPAIR COST ME $413.08. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO TOWN WHEN ENGINE STARTED MAKING A SOUND LIKE A LARGE COMPRESSOR, STOPPED TRUCK, COULD FEEL AIR COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE HEAD BY INTAKE MANIFOLD, TOOK TO A GARAGE WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PLUG CAME OUT OF THE #2 CYLINDER AND BUSTED THE COIL PAK. I KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY F150 TRUCK OWNERS, I KNOW OF 3 LOCALLY, AND HAVE FOUND MANY MORE COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD RECALL, THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TRUCK WOULD NOT START AFTER IT WAS PARKED. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT STARTED LONG ENOUGH TO DRIVER TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. MECHANIC FOUND A FUEL INJECTOR WAS STUCK OPEN POURING GAS INTO THE CYLINDER AND OIL. VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER FOUND A FUEL INJECTOR WAS STUCK OPEN POURING GAS INTO THE CYLINDER AND OIL AND A BENT ROD, THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS A NEW ENGINE. FORD HAD ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 07M08 TO COVER THE FUEL INJECTORS TO 11 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES BUT SINCE I WAS AT ALMOST 9 YEARS AND 134,000 MILES FORD NO LONGER CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COST OF REPAIR OF A KNOWN AND PUBLISHED PROBLEM OR TO ITS CUSTOMER. SOME SATISFACTION PROGRAM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IDLING AT A LIGHT, HE HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CAM PHASERS AND LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AROUND MIDDAY WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I DROVE A FEW BLOCKS BACK TO MY OFFICE AND THE VEHICLE SAT UNTIL I LEFT TO GO HOME LATER THAT DAY. A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY OFFICE ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A LOUDER VIBRATION AND THIS TIME A METAL ON METAL CLANKING SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING AREA AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN FROM ITS CENTER MOUNT. THE TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT CARRIER BEARING MOUNTING BRACKET HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO NO LONGER BE MOUNTED TO THE FRAME. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING AND ONLY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHERE I COULD HAVE LOSS DRIVER CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LESS THAN A YEAR EARLIER, THE VEHICLE FAILED A STATE SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO AN EXCESSIVELY CORRODED STEERING SHAFT U JOINT. THE MECHANIC SAID THIS U JOINT COULD FAIL DURING DRIVING CAUSING LOSS OF DRIVER CONTROL. EITHER OF THESE COMPONENT PART FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY OR DEATH TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS OR OTHERS IN OTHER VEHICLES OR ON OR NEAR THE ROADWAY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OTHER NON LIFE SAFETY MECHANICAL DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, THIS CONDITION EXISTS WITH MANY OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROADS TODAY AND ANY OF THOSE DRIVERS COULD EXPERIENCE A FAILURE OF EITHER THE STEERING SHAFT OR THE DRIVE SHAFT AT ANY TIME AND BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HIT A TREE FULL FORCE DAMAGING THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK, SEAT BELT WAS BUCKLED AND AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE WOULDN'T RESPOND. LUCKILY IT WASN'T ON A HIGHWAY THE ON COMING TRAFFIC HAD ENOUGH TIME TO AVOID ME. THERE WAS NO WARNING I THOUGHT THE TRUCK HAD DIED AND WENT TO RESTART BUT THE ENGINE WAS IDLING. I THEN PUT THE TRUCK INTO LOW TRANSFER AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO A SAFE PLACE BY IDLING UNTIL A TOW TRUCK COULD REMOVE IT. *TR

THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME A SPARK PLUG HAS POPPED OUT OF THE ENGINE ON MY 2005 FORD F-150 WITH THE 4.6 LITER V8 ENGINE IT. THE FIRST SPARK PLUG POPPED OUT IN AUGUST 2011 AND NOW IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER 2013. I HAVE HEARD THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENED TO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM IN NOT ONLY THE 4.6 LITER V-8 BUT THE 5.4 LITER V-8 AND THE 6.8 LITER V-10. WITH THIS PROBLEM HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHY HASN'T FORD DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FORDPROBLEMS.COM SUGGESTS THAT FORD INSISTS THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO IMPROPER TORQUING OF NEW PLUGS OR ANY NUMBER OF OTHER REASONS. HOWEVER MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY SPARK PLUGS EJECT FROM THE ENGINE, WHICH INDICATES THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE ENGINE & CYLINDER HEAD DESIGN. THE REPAIR IS RELATIVELY EASY - DO NOT BE FOOLED BY A DEALER OFFERING TO REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR $700 OR MORE. AN INEXPENSIVE HELICOIL KIT WILL DO THE TRICK. ALSO, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND SIMPLY RE-TAPPING THE SPARK PLUG THREADS BECAUSE THE THREADS ARE PROBABLY TOO DAMAGED ALREADY & THE SPARK PLUG MAY JUST BLOW OUT AGAIN CAUSING MORE DAMAGE. SPARK PLUG EJECTION IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE FUEL VAPOR STARTS COMING OUT THE SPARK PLUG HOLE, WHICH IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE FUEL VAPOR CAN BE IGNITED BY THE LOOSE SPARK PLUG AND IN FACT THERE HAVE BEEN A SMALL NUMBER OF CASES REPORTED OF ENGINE FIRES DUE TO SPARK PLUG EJECTION/BLOWOUT. I AS WELL AS OTHER FORD OWNERS WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO AND FORCE A RECALL ORDER TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO GET THESE ISSUE FIXED, REPAIR, AND REMEMBERS ALL AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT.

WHEN I PULLED OUT OF PARKING LOT AT APPROX. 5 MPH I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HIT MY VEHICLES BACK DOOR. WHEN I LOOKED BACK ALL LOOKED NORMAL. A FEW MINUTES LATER I HEARD AIR BLOWING. LIKE A WINDOW WAS DOWN. REAR WINDOW HAD STARTED TO SLOWLY SLIDE DOWN. MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED. 203.00 JUST FOR THE PART !!!! AND HE SAID MORE WILL BREAK TOO. NICE JOB FORD. *TR

I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE ALL THE INITIAL BEFORE ENGINE STARTS LIGHTS CAME ON, TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO AND THERE WAS A WARNING BUZZER. I RAPPED THE TOP OF THE DASH AFTER TRYING THREE RESTARTS WHERE NOTHING CHANGED. THE TRUCK NORMALIZED AND I DROVE IT. I DO NOT OFTEN DRIVE THE TRUCK, SO ABOUT THREE WEEKS LATER I WAS HEADED TO PENNSYLVANIA AND WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE HRBT TUNNEL WHEN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT TO KEY ON STATUS (NO TACHOMETER OR SPEEDOMETER FUNCTION, MULTITUDE OF WARNING LIGHTS AND WARNING BUZZER). SO AT 55MPH I HIT THE TOP OF THE DASH AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BRIEFLY CAME BACK ON THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN. I REPEATED THE BLOW ON THE TOP OF THE DASH AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT FIVE HOURS AND THEN CAME BACK AGAIN. IT'S QUITE DISCONCERTING TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND THE REST OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NOT FUNCTION. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND FORD'S FIX IS FOR ME TO HAVE TO SPEND APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE CLUSTER. *JS

THE PRICES ARE BETWEEN 500- 1000 TO CHANGE OUT SPARK PLUGS. THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE PLUGS CREATED THIS ISSUE AND FORD HAD NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM.

OK SO WE BOUGHT A FORD F150 2005 ON FRIDAY OF LAST WEEK WHICH WOULD BE 08/09/2013 . THE MAN ASSURED US THIS WAS A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE. SO WE START OUR TRIP ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO LOOK AT A NEW HOUSE IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. WE STOPPED IN ARIZONA TO SEE MY GIRLFRIENDS MOM. SUR ENOUGH THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START THE NEXT DAY. WE TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS ITS THE FUEL PUMP SO HE CHANGES IT OUT WE DRIVE IT 2 BLOCKS DOWN THE STREET BACK TO HER PARENTS HOUSE TURN OFF THE TRUCK LOAD IT UP WITH OUR STUFF AND IT WILL NOT START AGAIN. SO THE MECHANIC COMES BACK OVER SAYS OK IT MUST BE THE FUEL MODULATOR. SO HE CHANGES OUT THE FUEL MODULATOR AND SURE ENOUGH IT WORKED WE DROVE IT TWO BLOCKS TURNED IT OFF, RELOADED THE TRUCK AGAIN. AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP, APPARENTLY THE NEW MODULATOR KILLED THE BRAND NEW FUEL PUMP WE JUST PAID $500 FOR SO NOW WE HAVE TO GET ANOTHER FUEL PUMP AS WELL. I AM NOT HAPPY AFTER DOING RESEARCH THERE IS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF ANYTHING LIKE US WE NOW HAVE PAID NEARLY $1000 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT COULD EASILY BE CHANGED BY FORD MOUNTING THE FUEL MODULATE UNDER THE HOOD NEAR THE ENGINE LIKE THE REST OF THE MODULATORS. WOULD YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS SOON AS YOU CAN THIS IS SO UNCALLED FOR A LOT OF US WORK TO HARD FOR OUR MONEY AND OUR VEHICLES TO HAVE THEM BREAK DOWN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM EVERY TIME WE STOP.
