I OWN A 2006 FORD F150 PICKUP TRUCK. ON 07/15/2010 I NOTICED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DASHBOARD INDICATOR LAMP CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT ME ENGAGING THE CONTROL. LATER I DURING THE EVENING I NOTICED NOT ONLY THE CRUISE CONTROL DASHBOARD INDICATOR LAMP TURNING ON AND OFF, BUT ALSO THE RIGHT SIDE STEERING WHEEL CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS WERE NOT LIGHTING UP THOUGH THE HEADLAMPS WERE ON. I ATTEMPTED TO GET THE ISSUED REPAIRED AT THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT CLOSEST APPOINTMENT WAS AT THE END OF FOLLOWING WEEK. TWO DAYS LATER, ON 07/17/2010 I WAS OPERATING THE TRUCK, I EXPERIENCED THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGING AS I ACCELERATED. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH I HAD NOT ENGAGED THE CRUISE CONTROL, NOR WAS MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO NEAREST FORD DEALER FOR REPAIR. WHILE TRAVELING THE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILE RIDE, THE CRUISE CONTROL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE ON ITS OWN. THE FORD DEALER WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, CITING A DEFECTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED AND NOW THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO OPERATING PROPERLY. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS SHOWING EXTREME HESITATION IN ACCELERATION WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY OR PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE. DURING THESE PROCESSES, MY VEHICLE WILL START BACKFIRING AND MISSING. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMES ON AT THIS TIME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT STATE LICENSED MECHANICS, AND CHAPMAN FORD DEALERSHIP IN PHILADELPHIA. ALL THREE TOLD ME THE PLUGS SHOULD HAVE LASTED 100,000 MILES OR BETTER AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE ENGINE AND THESE PLUGS ARE VERY COMPLICATED TO REPLACE. SPECIAL TOOLS WOULD BE NEEDED TO REPLACE THEM. THEY ALSO SAID IT IS VERY COMMON THESE PLUGS WOULD BREAK OFF WHEN BEING REMOVED. THE COST TO REPLACE THE PLUGS WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $400 TO $550, WITH AN ADDITIONAL COST IF ANY PLUGS BREAK. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL WHEN THERE SHOULD BE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AT THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNER, AS WELL AS A SAFETY ISSUE. I REALIZE SPARK PLUGS ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE COST TO REPLACE THEM IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE AS THE MECHANICS STATED, IT WAS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE PLUGS AND THEY CORRODE TO THE ENGINE BLOCK. FORD REALIZED THIS AND CHANGED THE PLUGS IN NEWER VEHICLES TO A NON-CORROSIVE PLUG. I FEEL THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A POOR DESIGN FROM FORD. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THIS WORK COMPLETED ON JULY 21, 2010 AT CHAPMAN FORD IN PHILADELPHIA BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IS USING AN ACCESS AMOUNT OF GASOLINE. *TR

THE LATER EVENTUALLY RETURNED TO ITS NORMAL STATE, OFF, BUT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR REMAINED ON INTERMITTENTLY. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN ON 6/27/2010 WITH THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS: THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS INTERMITTENT AND AT THE SAME TIME THE AN WARNING CHIME, AT 1 SECOND INTERVALS, WAS HEARD. THE 'PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLED' INDICATOR REMAINED LIT WITHOUT A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN DRIVEN ON 7/5/2010 WITH THE SAME INDICATIONS. AS A RESULT, I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I DO MORE RESEARCH OR SPEAK TO A CERTIFIED SERVICE FACILITY. I TRULY FEEL THAT I'D BE AT RISK OF AN INADVERTENT AIR BAG DEPLOYEMENT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE , POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURIES TO MYSELF, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER VEHICLES, AND THUS I'M REQUESTING HELP AND ADVICE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION. *TR

Official recalls
4Feb 23, 2011
FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 F-150 PICK UP TRUCKS AS WELL AS CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 LINCOLN MARK LT VEHICLES. IF THE CLOCKSPRING JUMPER WIRE COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG LOWER HORN PLATE, THE WIRE INSULATION MAY BECOME CHAFED, CREATING A POTENTIAL FOR A SHORT CIRCUIT. IF THIS OCCURS THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP MAY ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT SERVICE IS REQUIRED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL IF OCCURRING WHILE IN MOTION.
Remedy: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND INSTRUCT THEM TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO A FORD OR LINCOLN/MERCURY DEALER TO HAVE A NEW CLOCKSPRING JUMPER WIRE INSTALLED THAT INCORPORATES A PROTECTIVE MESH COVER. REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THIS SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON SOME VEHICLES IN MARCH 2011. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN ON THE EXPANDED POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MAY 9, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AT 1-866-436-7332.
May 7, 2008
FORD IS RECALLING 605,684 MY 2005-2006 F-150 AND LINCOLN MARK LT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.4L 3-VALVE ENGINES. THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE ATTACHED TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FITTING MAY SWELL OVER TIME AND LOSE RETENTION FORCE. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE HOSE TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE FITTING DURING AN INTAKE MANIFOLD BACKFIRE. SHOULD THE HOSE DETACH FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, SEVERAL BRAKE APPLICATIONS WITH POWER ASSIST WILL BE AVAILABLE BEFORE THE VACUUM RESERVE IS DEPLETED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: ONCE THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM RESERVE IS DEPLETED, THE DRIVER WILL HAVE FOUNDATION BRAKE FUNCTION, BUT WITH INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT. REDUCED VEHICLE BRAKING COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE A RUBBER HOSE ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY TUBE ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 27, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
Feb 6, 2006
CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH EITHER THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 105, 'HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS' OR FMVSS NO. 135, 'PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A SOFTWARE ERROR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS ERROR COULD PREVENT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING LIGHT FROM ILLUMINATING IF THE ABS MODULE EVER BECAME INOPERATIVE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RECALIBRATE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN THESE VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
Nov 9, 2005
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, PASSENGER CARS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITHOUT GREASE BEING APPLIED TO THE OUTPUT SHAFT GEAR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AFTER A PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS USE ON THE HIGH SPEED SETTING, LACK OF GREASE ON THE OUTPUT SHAFT GEAR MAY CAUSE THE GEAR TO DISTORT OR FRACTURE DURING OPERATION RESULTING IN A LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. INOPERATIVE WIPERS UNDER INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIPER MOTOR FOR THE PRESENCE OF GREASE AND GREASE THE WIPER MOTOR GEARS IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673 OR LINCOLN/MERCURY AT 1-800-521-4140.

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.
