2001 FORD F-150 Electrical System Problems

WINDSHIELD LEAK ON 2001 F150 HAS LEAKED INTO GEM MODULE AND FUSE BOX. NOW IN SHOP FOR SECOND TIME FORD DEALER WILL NOW REPLACE WINDSHIELD AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. FIRST TRIP TO SHOP THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. I PAID FOR THAT AND THE TOWING CHARGE. A BIT OF INTERNET SEARCHING LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH FORD TRUCKS AND SUVS. ODI HAS LOOKED INTO THIS BEFORE. *JB

ODOMETER LIGHT GOES OUT WHEN IT WANTS AND ON WHEN IT WANTS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR SIX HOURS IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO A RESIDENCE, IT BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM UNDER THE HOOD.

THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND VERIFIED THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT STATED A RECALL NOTICE WAS NEVER RECEIVED. UPDATED 10/17/2006 - *NM

I TOOK MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN OUR FORD F150 SUPERCAB LARIAT TRUCK AND WENT TO A RESTAURANT ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM OUR HOME. WE RETURNED HOME WITH TAKE OUT, PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY, OUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER WAS NOT WORKING. I JOINED MY WIFE FOR DINNER (ABOUT 7:00 PM). MY DAUGHTER WENT TO BED AT ABOUT 8:30, MY WIFE ABOUT 9:30. AT ABOUT 10:00 I WENT OUTSIDE WITH THE DOGS IN THE BACKYARD AND HEARD A POP SOUND LIKE A FIRE CRACKER. I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE NEIGHBOR KIDS WERE PLAYING WITH FIREWORKS, BUT IT SOUNDED PRETTY CLOSE TO THE HOUSE ON THE GARAGE SIDE. WHEN I LOOKED IN THAT DIRECTION I SAW AN ORANGE GLOW. I WENT AROUND THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND SAW MY TRUCK ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I RAN INTO THE HOUSE, CALLED MY WIFE TO GET UP, GET OUR DAUGHTER, GET...

SPARK PLUG BLOWOUT. 2ND. TIME. *JB

MY 2001 FORD F150 XLT CREW CAB EJECTED A SPARK PLUG ON 03-03-06. THE EJECTED SPARK PLUG CAME FROM THE SECOND CYLINDER FROM THE FIREWALL, ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE ENGINE IN THIS TRUCK IS A 5.4 TRITON. THE FUEL RAIL IS IN THE FLIGHT PATH OF THE SPARK PLUG WHEN IT BECOMES A PROJECTILE. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A MAJOR DISASTER, IF THE FUEL RAIL RUPTURES. BECAUSE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING THE COIL ON THE SPARK PLUG CAN AND WILL IGNITE THE SPRAYING FUEL. THE CYLINDER HEADS ON THESE 5.4 TRITONS ENGINE MUST HAVE A MAJOR DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *JB

PRELIMINARY DATA.. FORD F150 2001 SUPERCREW WAS LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE SHOPPING. UPON RETURN I NOTED A PUDDLE OF FLUID THAT WAS NOT PRESENT EARLIER UNDER THE VEHICLE. UPON LEANING DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TO INSPECT FOR THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK SMALL FLAMES WERE NOTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UPON OPENING THE HOOD FOR FURTHER INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ON FIRE (APPEARING TO ME AND OTHER OBSERVERS TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE) WITH THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR COMPLETED MELTED. THE FLAMES FIRST OBSERVED WERE FORCED BY THE MOLTEN PLASTIC DRIPPING DOWN INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED BUT THANKS TO SOME EMPLOYEES OF THE SHOP AND THE AVAILABILITY THERE OF AN APPROVED EXTINGUISHER, THE FIRE WAS TERMINATED BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SOME 7 MINUTES LATER. COMMENTS WERE MADE BY OTHERS AND LATER...

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. *AK

NO ACTUAL WARNING OF DEFECT. WINDSHIELD WIPERS, POWER WINDOWS, COURTESY LIGHTS, AND POWER DOOR LOCKS SUDDENLY CEASED WORKING. DEALER STATED THE WINDSHIELD LEAKED CAUSING THE GEM MODULE TO FAIL. WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED, AS WELL AS GEM MODULE. *JB

DT: THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, THE CYLINDER WILL NOT ENGAGE, HAD TO ROLL THE VEHICLE BACKIN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED. CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IF THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. CURRENTLY, IT IT HAPPENED 15 TIMES. THIS STARTED TWO WEEKS AFTER CONSUMER BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AROUND APRIL 15, 2005. *AK

PARKED VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5 MINUTES, WENT INSIDE, THEN ONE OF THE CHILDREN CAME IN AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE MOTOR COMPARTMENT BURNT.

THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ENGINE MADE A PING NOISE. IT SOUNDED AS IF SOMETHING BROKE. OWNER CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND OWNER WAS INFORMED THAT THE SPARK PLUG EJECTED FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD THAT BECAUSE IT WAS MADE OF ALUMINUM, AND IF THE SPARK PLUGS WERE TIGHTENED TOO MUCH, OR THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CROSS THREADED WHEN INSTALLED THEY WOULD BE EJECTED. *AK

CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT FLASHING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE IT ON MY 2001 F150 TRITON 4.6L "3DR". TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS(SPRING BROKE ON 2ND TO 3RD GEAR SHIFTER)INQUIRED ABOUT THE CC LITE.

SAME ST'D THAT THERE WAS A RECALL INPROGRESS BUT THAT HE HAD TO SEE IF THIS MODEL WAS INVOLVED...NOT. 89000PLUS MILES. *AK

AFTER BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION I SLOWLY PULLED AWAY WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. IT SOUNDED AS IF I RAN OVER SOMETHING ,AND THE TRUCK STARTED MAKING LOUD NOISES AND JERKING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, PARKED IT, AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN COLUMBUS, OH. THEY SAID IT HAD BLOWN A SPARK PLUG AND STRIPPED THE THREADS IN THE HEAD - IT ONLY HAD 41,000 MILES ON IT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND COULD BE DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. I PAID THE CHARGE TO PUT A HELICOIL IN AS A TEMPORARY FIX UNTIL I CAN BUY A NEW HEAD BECAUSE FORD WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.*AK

I LEFT MY 2001 F-150 IN A PARKING LOT UNATTENDED WHEN I RETURNED A FEW HOURS LATER IT HAD BEEN ALMOST TOTALLY CONSUMED BY FIRE. WITNESSES SAID THAT IT STARTED UNDER THE HOOD. I HAVE NOT YET RECIEVED THE FIRE COMPANIES REPORT.*AK
