Purchased a ford 2006 f150 lariat harley davidson edition from a used car dealership took vehicle out for a test drive and noticed that it had a missfire, dealership promised to repair a coil which they believed was the issue i was sent to a repair facility which the dealership has all their vehicles serviced. after diagnosing the issue was told that three coils were bad and three spark plugs were broken off in the cylinder head which had to be removed to clean out and resurfaced along with the valves and pistons at a cost of $1,800.00 which my purchased warranty would not cover or the dealership would not cover either, so after reading numerous complaints on this issue listed on several complaint forums was wondering whether this organization has taken up the issue with ford? *tr
My son was killed in his 2006 ford 150 pickup truck driving 45 miles an hour. his truck apparently left the road with no signs of brakes being applied, flipped several times. the airbags never deployed. his insurance company was threatening me to release the truck from storage which i did. i have since regained my senses enough to search the web and see that there were many recalls on the brake lines of this make truck. *tr

My 2006 ford f-150 super cab pickup, 2x4, v-8 engine, has a major problem with the outside mirrors falling towards the ground causing me not to be able to pick up moving traffic while driving down the highway...i have taken the truck to three different ford dealerships and they refuse to give me a trade-in on a truck with power mirrors...i have had (3) new sets of mirrors installed on this truck already since i purchased the truck in january 2006....i have had a restriction put on my drivers license stating that i must have a right hand mirror on all vehicles i drive due to having amblyopia in my right eye....can't see anything when my mirrors point down towards the ground...shouldn't' have to take a beating on the trade-in since i bought the truck in good faith believing that ford would stand behind its warranty...they are not reimbursing me for the time or gas to take the truck in for repairs and i believe three sets of mirrors are enough....i want this to be documented in case that i have a minor or major accident that is involving a life because i couldn't see out of my mirror while changing a lane..... *nm
The truck was delivered on 8/12 in late evening when it was cool, on the next day it was discovered that the air conditioning did not cool properly. it showed no colder than 60 degrees on max air in the left middle vent with all others closed and with 95 degrees outside temperature. when returned to the dealer on the next morning, the service order showed "no trouble found". they do however show that refrigerant(r134) was added which is odd as there was no trouble found. later it was admitted to me that there is a problem with the air conditioning in these trucks, particularly the recirculation switch on the air control panel in the truck which does not stay engaged. it seems that you must re engage the switch each time the truck is started although this does not always work. this is dangerous if you are unfamiliar with the truck, as outside air is being brought in at all times thus keeping the defrost from working properly as well. foul air or road fumes coming into the truck to an un suspecting driver. i was told that ford is aware that it is a problem, but has to this date offered no solution. i believe based on the response from ford, that this has been a problem they are aware of on 2006 trucks and the public is un aware. *nm
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. while driving 40 mph, the contact heard a rattling noise underneath the vehicle. the dealer stated that the a/c compressor was separating. the dealer made the replacement, however, the noise continued. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, but they were unable to determine the cause of failure. in addition, the vehicle failed to start. as of september 24, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle. the failure mileage was 495 and current mileage was 23,900.
Purchased a ford 2006 f-150 4x4 so i could use it off road and through snow when necessary. tried to have chains put on it as chp requires and was told this vehicle will not take chains due to the configuration of the brake lines. was not told this up front when i purchased vehicle. why buy a 4x4 if you can't use it in inclement weather? ford does not seem to have a resolution for this problem
