MY 2006 FORD F150 FX4 HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE LAST 9,000 MILES. I AM DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS, WITH NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, HALF TANK OF GAS, AND I WAS COASTING AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS SLOWED - AS I WENT TO HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP, I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. FIRST THE WRENCH DASH LIGHT CAME ON, THEN I NOTICED STEERING WAS SLIGHTLY DIFFICULT AND THEN THE BATTERY AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT I DID NOT LOSE HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, HEAT, OR POWER. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND WAITED 2 MINUTES, THEN IT STARTED BACK UP - A LITTLE DIFFICULT ON THE STARTER, BUT IT WORKED. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS CHAT FORUMS ONLINE WITH USERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH 2006 V8'S IN THE F150. WHAT IS FORD DOING ABOUT THIS? MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. FROM WHAT I READ THIS IS A FUEL PUMP CONTROL PANEL ISSUE WITH CORROSION OF DISSIMILAR METALS - WHERE IS THE RECALL? *TR

I AM 6'5" AND WEAR SIZE 16 SHOES. WITH MY SIZE AND THE DISTANCE TO THE PEDAL MY LEGS GO A LITTLE TO THE SIDE AND MY SHOE IS AT AN ANGLE TO THE PETALS LETS SAY 30 DEGREES. I WEARING TYPICAL WORK BOOT (LIKE IN FORD COMMERCIALS) WHICH THE LACES HAVE PEGS THE SHOE LACES GO AROUND. THESE PEGS ARE THE SAME AS ALL WORK BOOTS (RED WINGS - $300 BOOT). WHAT HAPPENED IS BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A THICK RUBBER PAD THAT STRETCHES AROUND THE METAL BRAKE PEDAL AND LEAVES A RIDGE IN THE BACK OF THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY AROUND (SO THE RUBBER FITTING GOES OVER IT LIKE A SHOWER CAP). ALSO THE TRUCK IS AN AUTOMATIC AND THE BREAK PEDAL IS VERY LARGE. WHILE BACKING UP GIVING JUST A LITTLE GAS MY BOOT SHOE LACE PEG GOT TRAPPED BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS HOLDING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSING IT DOWN. BECAUSE THE RUBBER RIDGE RUNS ALL THE WAY AROUND MY PEDAL (AS DESIGNED) I COULD NOT MOVE MY FOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO RELEASE THE GAS. BECAUSE OF THE THICKNESS OF MY FOOT WHEN I PRESSED THE BREAK WITH MY OTHER FOOT, IT MOVES THE GAS PEDAL DOWN AT THE SAME RATE AS MY FOOT IS TRAPPED, SO THE MORE YOU PRESS THE BRAKE THE MORE YOU GIVE GAS AT A RATIO THAT DOES NOT LET ME STOP THE VEHICLE. (NOTE I USE ONLY ONE FOOT FOR THE GAS AND BRAKE NORMALLY BUT WITH MY RIGHT FOOT TRAPPED I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO USE MY LEFT FOOT TO BRAKE AND TRY TO GET IT THE TRUCK OUT OF GEAR . I COULD NOT DO ANYTHING IN TIME AND HIT A STATIONARY BUILDING. IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THE ONLY OTHER WAY I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MY FOOT LOOSE IS TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION IN A LOT OF SITUATIONS BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE THE SPEED OF THE IMPENDING IMPACT FASTER AND HARDER. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT TRAPS WORK BOOTS AND AT CERTAIN TIMES AND CAUSES LOOSE CONTROL. *TR

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

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.

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.
