Truck wouldn't start. Upon further inspection found the fuel pump driver module failed due to corrosion. The part was bolted to the cross member on the back of the frame. The bottom of the part is aluminum and the cross member is steel, and they were bolted flush together. Replaced the part and truck works fine. I would like ford to acknowledge that they have an issue with this and reimburse all parties who have had…

My brake light indicator on the dashboard is coming on. This seems to be do to the fact that the resistors were not sodered correctly. I've been looking on multiple forms and this has happened to a lot of the f150's. Ford should be responsible for thsi.

Went to have truck tuned up--mechanic would not even touch spark plugs because they break off and the entire head has to be removed for repair. Told us tune up would be very expensive and if they broke it would be even high. From what i was told if spark plug is bad it can result in failure of catalytic convert and result in a car fire. Will it take a death before ford does a recall how do consumers maintain a…

Power windows stopped working entirely. At all switches. No power to them. Wires in door jam for power windows rubbed till they broke. Leaving no power to any window at any switch. Cost $ 370.00 for ford to diagnose and fix broken wires right where mechanic knew they were broke before looking.. This is a recurring problem in these trucks and ford should own up to it and fix them free of charge. I have always owned…

The engine was replaced in 2012 with 53,000 miles on the truck due to a significant knocking coming from the engine. The truck was still under warranty so it cost me nothing to replace. The engine started to make the same sound in feb 2015 (84,000 miles on the truck, 30,000 miles on the engine). I had it taken to an auto mech and they told me one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine and ripped all the…

Vehicle has stopped running going down the road several times. It does this unexpectedly, and i let it coast to the shoulder and it cranks up. I drove it to the local dealer, and they could not find a problem. It now sits in my driveway, because it is unsafe to drive it in traffic. I never intend to buy another ford.

But i always had to completely stop and park. It doesn't happen often - in seven years, perhaps 8 or 9 times. This past friday was the worst, but i was facing down in my mother's drive-way.
