LINCOLN MARK LT 2006. AS MY FATHER PROCEEDED DOWN HIS DRIVE-WAY STOPPING IN FRONT OF HIS GARAGE THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN EXCESS OF 40 MILES AN HOUR. THE TRUCK WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR HITTING HIS CADILLAC ESCALADE, AND PUSHING THE ESCALADE THROUGH THE NORTH WALL OF HIS GARAGE. ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO GARAGE, LINCOLN, AND ESCALADE EXCEEDS $30,000.00. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, AND THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED HIM FROM GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE GARAGE WAS THAT THE ESCALADE TOOK THE FORCE OF THE COLLISION. PREVIOUSLY, MY FATHER HAD OWNED A FORD F150, AND HE ALSO HAD UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION THAT CAUSED DAMAGE. PREVIOUS TO THE DATE OF THIS ACCIDENT MY SISTER HAD BORROWED THE TRUCK AND WHEN SHE SLIPPED IT INTO REVERSE THE TRUCK STARTED TO BURN RUBBER AS SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO BACK OUT OF HER DRIVEWAY. MY OLDEST BROTHER DROVE IT LAST WEEK IN LYNNWOOD, WASHINGTON AT NOON WITH MY FATHER TO GO TO LUNCH, AND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE TRUCK HE TOLD ME JUST ACCELERATED WHEN HE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MT OTHER BROTHER HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHEN HE AND MY FATHER TOOK A TRIP TOGETHER. FORD/LINCOLN HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND YOU PEOPLE SEEM TO CARE LESS ABOUT ADDRESSING IT. I HAVE OWNED 1 FORD IN MY LIFE, WHICH I PURCHASED AT WILSON FORD IN 1987. THE FIRST YEAR IT WAS IN THE SHOP 21 TIMES BECAUSE OF STALLING AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR. MY PREGNANT WIFE ENDED UP CRASHING THROUGH A STORE FRONT COSTING ME AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY 10,000'S OF DOLLARS, NOT TO MENTION ALMOST MY BABIES LIFE. I WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTED IN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD 150'S AS IT REMINDED ME OF WHAT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WILSON TOLD ME IN ALL HONESTLY. HE SAID THE MANUFACTURER IN 1987 HAD NOT EVEN BEGUN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 1985 MODELS. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING WORSE. *JB
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.
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.
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.
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.
