Problems with 2006 Ford F-150 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Dt*: the contact stated two weeks after purchasing the vehicle while accelerating, the engine sputtered and the check engine light illuminated. the dealership was unable to determine the problem, but replaced the fuel injector. the vehicle operated worse after the repair. the manufacturer sent an engineer to test drive the vehicle. while driving at an unknown speed, smoke flowed from the engine compartment. the vehicle was pulled over and then erupted in flames. a police report was taken and the fire department extinguished the fire. the two rear tires and tailgate were the only salvageable parts. due to the extensive damage, the cause of the fire was unknown. *ak

Dt*: the contact stated a recall repair could not be performed because a required tool was unavailable. the dealer did not want to schedule an appointment until the tool was available. a recall letter was received in february and the vehicle did not have any problems prior to receiving the letter on the manufacturers recall # 06c11 concerning the electrical system.

Gas pedal to brake is a 3" lift from gas pedal than apply brakes on new f-150 w/5 speed transmission,this increases time to stop over one second. also the accessory 12v port for phones or ipods etc doesn't shut-off when key is removed,possibly causing a vehicle fire if left unattended for any long length of time. *nm

Spark plugs on the 5.3 liter engine when replaced break--in return the book said pull engine and pull heads to replace spark plugs. the law suit filled ford admits to bad decision on spark plugs and will reimburse some of the cost. the cost is very high--the book and ford's shop said the engine needs to be pulled to pull the heads to replace the spark plugs. there was never any software updates, and now the vehicle requires them. the error in the cluster software recall was suppose to be repaired and i read from the experts all software should have been upgraded with the cluster error. there are 42 p.m. ford and nhsta knew or knows about on my vehicle and nothing has been done, i am a 100% dav and my vehicle has been broken down. the 2006 harley davidson f-150 that cost so much with it's on board computer system does not work. i have read many complaints about the f-150 engine cutting out, i pulled out to pass on a two lane road and almost got killed when mine cut out so bad. a two cylinder would have done better than that v-8.
