While turning truck started to emit noises, sounded like an exhaust problem, manifold etc. no service engine light on and all gauges were normal. then while driving, as truck shifted down to overdrive, noise returned, loss of power, but again no service engine light, gauges all normal. took vehicle to dealer, have been told, engine needs to be replaced,(81,250 miles/130,000km) for a meager $6000. vehicle has been dealer maintained since new, oil changed every 3125, miles/5000km (by dealer) still no service engine light, gauges still reading normal. manufacturer will do nothing. looking for lawyer who would like to start class action suit against manufacturer, considering all the issues i have found on the 2006 f150 v8 triton since starting research yesterday, there are a lot of us that ford is not willing to assist. *tr
Vehicle began to smell like gas in the cab on numerous occasions. took it to ford dealership mechanic and was told that the source of the gas smell could not be found. a few days later upon starting the vehicle, a very loud explosive sound was heard under the hood. the vehicle was turned off and towed back to the ford dealership where it was determined that the original #2 spark plug had blown out of the engine and damaged the head. repair exceeding $700 with absolutely no responsibility taken by ford. repeat incident less than one year later with another cylinder. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. the contact stated that the vehicle was hesitant to acceleration. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician diagnosed that the spark plugs were defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was unknown.
Spark plugs and coil packs have failed across our entire fleet of 2005-2008 f-150's. the potential for seized spark plugs is significant due to increased heat from failed coil packs. the coil packs seem to fail approximately every 25,000-75,000 miles. the repairs have been very costly - especially with a fleet of 200+ vehicles. ford has not offered any assistance with any of the claims. symptoms - the vehicle sputters or bogs down under load while traveling up a hill or under hard acceleration. dangers - the vehicle will not accelerate with 100% power while under load in a dangerous situation. the need to quickly accelerate becomes altered due to possible spark plug/ coil pack failure. risks are accidents, personal injury, or even worse. *tr
Originally factory installed sparkplug blows out of the engine head traveling at approximately 35 mph. this was disclosed after taking vehicle to a ford dealership for diagnostics as there was a loud noise while engine running and loss of power. repair cost was $617. discussion with dealer discloses that this a well know problem by ford management, a tbs has been issued. further ford has denied any responsibility and will not provide any monetary assistance. this is a ford created design engineering defect that ford just ignores and let's the customer pay for its mistake. customer is subject to cost of repair that is far from normal wear and tear, a safety concern of fire in engine compartment from raw fuel blown out of the hole vacated by sparkplug, a reliability issue and a safety concern from sudden loss of power. this problem should be covered by a federal mandated recall since ford is making this a consumer problem ignoring the fact that it is a engineering, design or manufacturing problem for which it refuses to accept responsibility. in addition the trade in value of this vehicle will be reduced by the ford dealership that is aware of the problem evan for the customer that did not encounter a sparkplug blowout and at private sale if prospective buyer checks on vehicle via any internet automotive site. again ford lets consumer absorb cost of defect it created.
According to the model year ford f150 maintenance manual, spark plugs are to be changed every 100,000mi. just prior to this mileage for removal and replacement of the spark plugs the engine started to develop a misfire. ford has recognized the problem with the spark plugs and the difficulty to remove them. this known maintenance issue led ford to provide a tsb on the issue. this misfire has almost caused me to stall several times while towing a 7,000lb boat. this is dangerous and creates a safety issue for myself and the motorists around me. i express concern that ford should be replacing these defective plugs with updated designs before tragedies start to happen. this engine/spark plug design entered service in 2004 and vehicles, like mine, will begin to experience serious safety related incidents if it is not addressed. *tr
While approaching an intersection, about to make a right at the light, (i was driving about 20mph) on 12/24/12 (with my two children and husband in the truck) the vehicle beeps and it displays "engine safe mode...low oil pressure" then the power steering cuts off and the whole vehicle shut down! i am frantic at this point because i have no clue what is going on! i was in the middle of traffic and had to cut the car off and crank it up again. luckily i didn't get rear ended or in an accident. that same day i went and got my oil change because it was over due. well on 1/4/13 the same thing happens as i am turning into the parking lot of mcdonald's. i get the same error message as before, the steering wheel locks up, and truck cuts off! this so extremely dangerous. i looked this issue up online and see that it appears to be a common issue with the 2006 f-150 and the expedition. my bother-in-law, who also has a similar f-150 to ours, said the same thing has happened to him twice. *tr
On november 16,2011 i was on my way to see my mother who passed away and while driving it sounded like a bomb went off and i had vehicle towed and it was spark plug issue, then two years later it happened again, i changed on plugs and coil packs at garage, now two years later another 3rd plug breaks into engine, now in need of new engine. miles are over class action suit but not by many. my truck is worthless for fords lack of fixing this issue. i do have documents to show. this problem is a repeated issue and end result for them not to recall issue sooner has ended with a none working truck engine.
2006 ford f-150 harley davidson has coil misfire problem. all eight coils have been replaced in the last 24 months and three have been replaced twice. cat converter has been replaced twice in the same time period. all plugs have been replaced. the car continues to misfire. as a result, the vehicle has an extremely strong odor of fuel resonating. the dealer states that they cannot do anything to find the root of the problem. this vehicle is dealer serviced. *tr
I had a fuel injector fail that completely ruined the engine at 71k miles. i had to have it replaced. i was very surprised to see that my problem was exactly like the ford 2005 customer satisfaction program 07m08 problem. my truck was built in 2005, but titled as a 2006. i have talked and wrote to ford but they would not help me. i told them i still have the failed injector and they wouldn't even look at it to see if it was one of the defective parts that spurred the 07m08 program. i believe ford needs to expand the customer satisfaction program 07m08 to include 2006 models. i would love for the nhtsa to pressure ford to revisit this issue. this was hard for me because i still have the injector that failed. i keep it as a reminder of the $8,000 i had to spend on a new engine. i believe the nhtsa should pressure ford to admit which injectors were an issue so people like me have leverage to fight giants like ford that in this case screwed their customer. *js

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.
