Pulled out of driveway and made it 50 feet and whole truck shut down right on the road. Could not make the vehical restart no click or anything dead right where it stopped. Could of caused an accident. Had to have truck taken to a shop they took a week to find out that the electrical fuel system harness had a dead short in it. So no fuel going to the feul injectors or to the key to start the vehical. Still have head lights and breaks and radio. Just no way to restart the vehical. They checked thw wires and after unplugging many wires to the fuel system and retesting it started. Left with the truck a day later the same thing happen but this time i had to jump a curb to avoid an accident and coasted into a parking lot. I got out and wiggled a few of the wires and the truck started back up. I made it back to where i was staying only 2 blocks up the road and it died in the parking lot in a stall. That has been over 3 weeks and cant find the parts to fix it even by talking to ford shops. There not able to get this harness due to they have been discontinued...truck has low miles on it and now i dont know what to DO. This is my daily driver for WORK. This shouldnt of happened with the wires being wrapped even the mechanic who has his own shop but also works for Ford as a mechanic he has seen this before and now having problems getting parts. I hope you can help with this matter. Due to its very disturbing to myself when its in good shape and was taken care of and NOW cant get parts..

MY TRUCK IS RATTLING BAD AND ITS THE TIMING CHAIN FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE OIL SEALS ON THE TENSIONERS START LEAKING CAUSING THEM TO NOT KEEP THE CHAIN TIGHT LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND ALSO FAILS TO PUSH OIL AROUND TO THE RIGHT SIDE CAM WHICH CAUSES IT TO FAIL. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE INJURIES IF THE TRUCK STALLS OUT. ALSO THE SPARK PLUGS BLOW OUT OF THE HEADS CAUSING VERY HIGH REPAIR BILLS. THIS ALSO COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT. FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND THERE MISTAKE AND MAKE IT RIGHT FIX OR REPLACE THE ENGINE NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT. MY TRUCK REPAIRS WILL COST OVER $7000 DOLLARS TO FIX BECAUSE FORD WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM THEY KNEW ABOUT. I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES WITH VAL OIL AND LUCUS OIL STABILIZER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO HELP THE RATTLE ALITTLE BUT ITS JUST GOING TO GET WORSE AND I CANT AFFORD $7000 TO REPLACE AN ENGINE. *TR

ODI opened this investigation based on reports of inadvertent airbag deployment.Data provided by Ford indicated that the airbag clockspring jumper wire, which is situated inside the steering wheel assembly, was installed in a manner that would allow it to rub (abrade) against a sharp metal edge on the nearby horn plate.Because the horn plate is electrically grounded the abrasion of an airbag wire on the sharp edge could cause a short circuit condition.As a result the airbag light may illuminate and/or the airbag may inadvertently deploy.Inadvertent deployments are most likely to occur during the airbag system's self-diagnostic test that initiates when the ignition switch is turned on.Ford modified the vehicle design in late January 2006 adding a protective tape over the sharp metal edge of the horn plate.Ford made additional design changes on MY 2007 vehicles to the horn plate, the clockspring jumper, and the connector layouts to further address this issue.ODI identified 318 deployment incidents with 121 alleged injury reports from subject vehicles.All but one of the incident and injury reports occurred in vehicles built before the January 2006 modification.In addition, there was one incident and alleged injury reported in the MY 2006 Mark LT vehicles that share the same design. In letters dated February 21 and April 11, 2011, Ford announced a recall of all of the approximately 1.3 million MY 2004-2006 F-150 vehicles built prior to January 24, 2006, the date the initial vehicle modification was made.In addition, approximately 14,000 MY 2006 Mark LT vehicles built prior to January 24, 2006 will also be recalled.Vehicles built after that date, which contain the modification, are not within the recall scope.Accordingly the investigation is closed.
