2005 FORD F-150 Power Train Problems

customer states that the frame of the vehicle has been compromised by corrosion. the vehicle only has 163,844 miles on it and it has major holes in the frame. The chassis could break in half prohibiting the use of this vehicle on the roadway due to the safety of occupants. I advised the customer of this of which they bought a frame repair kit (Pre-cut over frame c-channel steel) to weld onto the frame to support a longer lifespan. The truck is now safe for the roadway.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle, the vehicle rolled backwards. The contact shifted the gear shifter into park and turned off the vehicle; however, the vehicle rolled backwards again. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that upon inspecting under the hood, the contact became aware that the shifter cable had melted. The contact purchased a new shifter cable and replaced the shifter cable. The vehicle was started and driven to the residence. In addition, the contact stated that the failure had occurred at night, which was dangerous for being on the side of the road. The contact stated that the shifter cable had melted again within 12 hours. The contact stated that the failure was the result of a design flaw. The vehicle was...

I don't even have 150,000 miles on this thing. I get it serviced regularly. I've used the 4x4 when needed, as I live in the Sierra Nv Mountains area. I don't overdo it, I don't abuse it. One day with "ZERO" Clues or indications my truck popped out of drive into neutral ON ITS OWN I put it back into drive. Then as I tried to accelerate NOTHING, I got a code/msg saying faulty transmission, my O/D kept turning off and on. I pushed it to the side if the road. I eventually got reverse back, 1st gear, but that's it. And NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. Its Automatically you need a transmission. [XXX]!! You go online and this is happening to TONS of people. Are you saying WE ALL NEED NEW TRANSMISSIONS?? Kinda odd same trucks, same issues on the same part. What's the common denominator here...

Issues with transmission/ over drive snap ring vehicle only has 145,000 miles. This truck has many complaints and many failures and flaws that need fixed.

I BOUGHT USED CASH TRUCK, DROVE FINE FOR FIRST DAY, SECOND DAY WHILE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND PUT IN REVERSE IT DIES, TOOK A COUPLE TURNS TO STARTED UP AND IT STARTED CODING THE CAMSAFT SENSORS, GOT CODES CLEARED, AND IT DROVE OK FOR 30 MINUTES COATED AGAIN STARTED TO STALL AND STUTTER A BIT. I HEARD A LOT ABOUT FORDS IN THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS DOES THAT MEAN MY TRUCK IS DONE FOR. MY TRUCK HAS TO CAMSHAFT SENSORS. 5.4

COMPLETE FRAME UNDER TRUNK IS RUSTED TO WHERE THE FRAME IS GETTING READY TO BREAK IN HALF I HAVE LOOKED AT SEVERAL OTHER OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AND THEY HAVE THE SAME SIMILAR PROBLEMS SO I'M NOT AS BAD AS OTHERS BUT 90% OF THEM ARE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE I LIVE IN THE AREA THERE'S NOT A LOT OF SALT NORE SAND IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH JUST MY VEHICLE I WOULD UNDERSTAND BUT SINCE IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BUY FORD MANUFACTURES.

1. BRAKE DOT 3 IS RUNNING OUT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING, I MUST PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REFILL THE OIL TANK. 2. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SPEED REACHES AT AROUND 45-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOSES POWER AND HIT AT 3-5 MPH BEFORE STOPPING. AFTER I COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND RESET THE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE STARTS NORMAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAPPENED FROM 2009 TO CURRENT TIME, BUT THE ODB SCAN DOES NOT DETECT ANY CODE OR ERRORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL UNKNOWN DEALERS FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS. THE TRANSMISSION COLUMN SHIFT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED IN 2007. IN 2010, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SPILLED AND THE GASKET, FILTERS, AND SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40 MPH AND VIBRATED.

TRANSMISSION CLUNKS. TRUCK STALLS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

MY 2005 F150 HAS AN ELECTRONIC SWITCH TO ENGAGE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT HAS STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I'VE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL FROM 2004 ON UP. I NEARLY CRASHED WHILE DRIVING AFTER A SNOW STORM DUE TO THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE BEING INACTIVE.

WILL NOT GO IN REVERSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND DID NOT ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL KNIGHT FORD OF STILLWATER (4405 W 6TH AVE, STILLWATER, OK 74074, 405-372-7144) AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS UPDATED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

TRANS FAULT ERROR

TAKATA RECALL AT 80,000 MILES F150 TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. HAD IT REPAIRED NOW IN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES GONE AGAIN.

NEW TRANS NEEDED, COMMON ON MOST F150. OVERDRIVE LIGHT FLASHES AND WON'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR

I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR. JUST BLEW OUT OF NO WHERE. THIS YEAR ALONE I NEEDED NEW HUBS, ALL8 CYLINDERS HAVE A MISS FIRE MY TRUCK DROPPED FROM 60 TO TEN IN SECONDS SO SCARY

CPSC;2005 FORD F-150 TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR WENT OUT AT 89446 MILES. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED. *BF THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE WAS NOT INDICATIVE OF HAVING BEEN AT A REPAIR SHOP. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS ALSO DETERMINED THE INITIAL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED WITH SALVAGED/USED PARTS. *JB

TRUCK WAS BOUGHT AND I REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND EVEN HAD TO REPLACE A CLINOID BECAUSE WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. ITS NOT... THERE IS A BALL VALVE IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM BUILDING ENOUGH PRESSURE TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT WHICH THROWS A CODE AND SAYS MISFIRE ON 6 BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW SO CLEARLY NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.. TRUCK FEELS AS IF FIXING TO FIE THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON START FLASHING BUT THROW NO CODES AND YOU CANT SPEED BACK UP BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRUCK IS ABOUT TO DIE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BLOW YOUR MOTOR.

!. VACUUM ADVANCE CONTROL FOR FOUR WHEEL DRIVE GETS WET, LOOSES PRESSURE AND FRONT WHEELS ENGAGE SLIGHTLY, CAUSING WHEEL HUB DAMAGE. 2. STEERING BECOMES HARD, ESPECIALLY IN COLD WEATHER. HARD TO INSPECT STEERING SHAFT UNTIL IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM STEERING RACK. COMMON PROBLEM WITH MID TO LATE 2000'S FORD CROWN VIC. POLICE VEHICLES. COME ON FORD, MAN UP AND MAKE THESE PROBLEMS A RECALL.

MY TRUCK HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 5.4L'S CAM PHASERS. THE TRUCK MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE AND SHAKES. TO REPAIR THIS, IT'S AROUND $3,000 AND ALSO I HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL 8 COILS WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $1,200 AND A KNOWN MISFIRE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE ONGOING ISSUES IN THIS YEAR TRUCK AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO IF THE CAM PHASERS ARE NOT REPLACED THE ENGINE WILL BLOW!

REAR END SHAKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD ABOUT 60MPH. GETTING OFF GAS NOR PUTTING VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WOULD NOT STOP SHAKING. HAD TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP BEFORE STARTING AGAIN TO MAKE VEHICLE DRIVE PROPERLY.

METAL SCRAPING SOUND FROM REAR END. MECHANIC HAS CHECKED AND SAYS PINION, BEARINGS, RING GEAR HAVE FAILED. LOOKS LIKE ITS A COMMON FAILURE. 9.75 RING GEAR, 3.55 RATIO

I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A SOUND COME FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I DIDN'T LOSE POWER, BUT PULLED OVER TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. NOT NOTICING ANYTHING OBVIOUS I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVELS AND NOTICED THAT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LOW. IT HAD BEEN CHECKED TWO MONTHS PRIOR DURING OIL CHANGE. I HAD NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKS. I FOUND A FORUM ON THE INTERNET THAT TALKED ABOUT TRANSMISSION FLUID GOING FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE TRANSFER CASE, BUT UNABLE TO RETURN. THEY HAD A $20 SEAL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FORUM HAD STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN CONDITION BUT NOTHING WAS BEING DONE BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. A MECHANIC HAD SAID THAT IT ONLY EFFECTED 17-18% OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2004-2008. I CALLED TWO LOCAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM BUT SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS TO CHANGE, BY...

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 5TH 2015 I STARTED MY TRUCK TO WARM THE INSIDE AND ALSO MELT THE SNOW OFF MY WINDSHIELD. I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND BACKED OUT AWAY FROM HOUSE. DUE TO HAVING SNOW ON THE DRIVEWAY I TURNED ON THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IN HIGH. MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WOULD NOT WORK SO I TRIED TO SWICTH TO 2 WHEEL DRIVE BACK TO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE BUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WOULD NOT TURN ON. I GRABBED THE GEAR SHIFT TO PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN PARK WHEN I NOTICED MY GEAR SHIFT COULD FLOAT TO PARK TO 1ST GEAR FREELY AND WOULD NOT SHIFT. AT THIS TIME I NOTICED SMOKE STARTING TO COME INSIDE CAB FROM UNDER DASH AND THRU THE VENTS. I JUMPED OUT AND OPENED THE HOOD. A 1 FOOT SECTION OF A WIRING HARNES MOUNTED TO THE FIREWALL HAD CAUGHT FIRE....

I JUST WANTED TO ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DIFFERENTIAL. MINE MAKES NOISE AND HAS MADE NOISE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE TIRES OR ROTORS. I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE HEARD, I AM PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE SAME THING. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE METAL RUNNING ON METAL. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING FORD SHOULD PAY TO FIX. IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, I'M DEFINITELY NOT USING FORD. I READ THAT'S MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS FAILURE IS SECURITY PUBLIC PROBLEMS, BECAUSE ACCIDENTAL OR CRASH MAY OCCUR. *TR

2005 F150 GOES INTO "FAIL SAFE MODE" AND SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. IT ONLY OCCURRED ONCE PER YEAR STARTING AT 65,000 MILES, BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY 3-4 WEEKS AT 114,000 MILES. ONCE THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL WHILE COASTING AND IT RESTARTS EASILY. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES FOR 3-4 DAYS AND THEN TURNS OFF. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. FORD STATES THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN THE ABOVE MENTION VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO DISCLOSURE TO ME AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OF A VERY SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE SPARK PLUGS THAT COULD AND LIKELY WILL BREAK OFF IN THE ENGINE DURING REPLACEMENT AND THE EXTREME COST IN CHANGING THESE PLUGS AROUND 900 TO 1000 DOLLARS IF NO PLUGS BREAK OFF AND EVEN MORE IN THE PLUGS DO BREAK OFF OR HEADS HAVE TO REMOVED TO EXTRACT THE PLUGS EVEN WORSE PIECES OF PRSHELL COULD FALL INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER AND CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE TO AROUND 8000 DOLLARS NOW THAT I AWARE OF THE EXTREME COST 3 OR 4 TIMES THE AMOUNT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF CHANGING SPARK PLUGS IN THESE FORD VEHICLES FORD IS NO HELP AT ALL SAYING ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I CANT HELP IT THE DESIGN FLAW WITH THESE LONG 2 PIECE PLUGS IS SO SERIOUS AND THE PRICE...

FORD DESIGNED THE FACTORY SPARK PLUGS AS A TWO PIECE DESIGN. ONCE THE TRUCK REQUIRES A TUNE UP THE CURRENT SPARK PLUGS BREAK IN HALF AS THEY ARE REMOVED CAUSING AN ADDITION COST FOR EXTRA LABOR AND SPECIAL TOOLS DESIGNED TO REMOVE THESE PLUGS. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE FORD DEALER WHO THEN BROKE 6 OUT OF 8 PLUGS UPON REMOVAL AT AN EXTRA COST OF 80 DOLLARS A PIECE. THE TUNE UP WHICH ONLY INCLUDES THE REMOVAL OFF THE OLD AND THE INSTALLATION OF THE NEWLY DESIGNED ONE PIECE SPARK PLUGS ENDED UP COSTING ME 1000 DOLLARS. THESE SPARK PLUGS ALSO BREAK INSIDE THE ENGINE CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. *TR

TRUCK WENT INTO "LIMP" MODE ON START UP. VERY DIFFICULT TO GET HOME IN TRAFFIC. "FIX" WAS NEW THROTTLE BODY FROM FLECTHER FORD. $582.38. SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH FORD. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2005 FORD F 150 USED NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE ENGINE AND REAR END PROBLEMS UNTIL I HEARD THE RATTLE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD SO I GO ASK DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HE SAID THIS TYPE ENGINE WAS FROM FORD WAS NOT GOOD LUCKY FOR ME THEY WERE REPAIRING ONE IT HAD BLOWN A SPARK PLUG OUT AND THEY WERE REPLACE PARTS FOR THE CAM HE SAID GET RID OF THE TRUCK OR RUN IT TILL IT BLOWS UP IT HAS NO POWER IT STALLS IN THE MOST BAD PLACES I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO HAVE A WRECK AND HURT SOME ONE FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE ENGINE AND FIX THE REAR END PROBLEM ALSO I DON'T HAVE 5 TO 8 GRAND TO FIX IT. *TR

VEHICLE WENT INTO 'FAILSAFE MODE' AND STOPPED RUNNING WITH NO WARNING. MANUAL SAID THIS WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO PROCEED SAFELY HOME. DID NOT GET FAR BEFORE IT WOULD NOT RUN. WHEN IT DID RUN, IT RAN AT ABOUT 2 MPH BEFORE FAILING TO GO ANY FARTHER. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR WITH VARIOUS FORD VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE CAME TO STOP, THE GEARS WOULD ENGAGE INDEPENDENTLY AND MAKE A LOUD NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE HAD TO REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

AROUND MIDDAY WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I DROVE A FEW BLOCKS BACK TO MY OFFICE AND THE VEHICLE SAT UNTIL I LEFT TO GO HOME LATER THAT DAY. A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY OFFICE ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I HEARD A LOUDER VIBRATION AND THIS TIME A METAL ON METAL CLANKING SOUND. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF INTO A PARKING AREA AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO SEE THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN FROM ITS CENTER MOUNT. THE TWO PIECE DRIVE SHAFT CARRIER BEARING MOUNTING BRACKET HAD FAILED DUE TO CORROSION OF THE MOUNTING BRACKET CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO NO LONGER BE MOUNTED TO THE FRAME. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING AND ONLY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHERE I COULD HAVE LOSS DRIVER CONTROL OF...

FIRST OFF I WANT TO SAY THAT I WORK FOR FORD AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE FIRST OF THE TWO ISSUE I HAVE HASN'T BEEN RECALLED AND I'M NOT 100% SURE ABOUT THE DATES THAT THESE PROBLEMS OCCURRED ON. MY TRUCK HAS SOUNDED LIKE IT HAS A DIESEL ENGINE IN IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAD NEW IN 2005 AND AFTER TALKING TO SOME GUYS AT WORK I FIND OUT THAT IT IS CAUSED BY CAM PHASERS THAT ARE IN THE 2004-07 5.4LITRE ENGINES AND IF THESE FAIL YOU HAVE TO GET A NEW MOTOR WHICH I WAS TOLD JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WOULD BE $8900.00 WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. IF YOU LOOK THEM UP ONLINE YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A HUGE AND COSTLY PROBLEM. MY SECOND ISSUE IS I HAVE HAD MY REAREND REBUILT TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST...

DASH ELECTRICAL RELAY ISSUE,PAINT PEELING TAILGATE,TRANSMISSION SHUTTER GOING INTO OVERDRIVE 45 MPH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM PARK UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE SHIFT LOCK SOLENOID, BRAKE SWITCH AND BRAKE MODULE WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

I BOUGHT MY FORD-F 150 DIRECTLY FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 30 MILES IN AUGUST 2005. BY NOVEMBER 2005, WE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH CONCERNS OF THE TRANNY SLIPPING. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, AND WE WENT HOME. WITH-IN 1 YR. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER WINDOWS, AND WITH-IN 2 YRS, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COMPLETELY. LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS REPLACED. WE HAVE REPLACED EVERY PIECE IN THAT TRUCK AT LEAST ONCE AND SOME SEVERAL TIMES. AND THE TRANSMISSION TWICE. LAST MONTH THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN. WE PAID $2700. TO ONLY BRING IT HOME, AND IMMEDIATELY IT WENT OUT AGAIN. THE MECHANIC IS BAFFLED. HE HAS BEEN TRYING FOR 4 WEEKS TO FIX IT, AND HAS NOW THROWN IN THE TOWEL. HERE I HAVE A GORGEOUS TRUCK, WITH A HUGE PAYMENT, AND IT'S A PIECE OF JUNK....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS COLD, AND APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES INTO DRIVING, VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION & WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. VEHICLE THEN HAS TO BE GUIDED TO A STOP WITH NO POWER OR CAN BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL & RESTARTED WHILE STILL MOVING. FOLLOWING VEHICLE RESTART ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. CODE INDICATES TRUCK HAS BEEN PLACED IN "LIMP HOME MODE". AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. I WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY IN FEB. 2010, HOWEVER THE THROTTLE BODY HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED IN APRIL 2007 WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE SHIFTED INTO PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, IT BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY IN REVERSE. THE CONTACT JUMPED BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

MY FUEL CONTROL MODULE SHORTED OUT WHICH CAUSED MY PCM TO BE ERASED. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER RESEARCHING IT, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND LOST ALL POWER. THIS RESULTED IN A NEAR ACCIDENT DUE TO HAVING NO POWER STEERING AND LESS BRAKE CONTROL. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE CONTROL MODULE WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED. $1000 LATER I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE DETACHED FROM THE CONNECTION IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE SHIFTER CABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON MY 2005 FORD F-150 HAS HAD TWO TORQUE CONVERTERS FAIL IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. ONE FAILED WITHIN THE 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE SECOND TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AROUND 50,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS INFORMATION WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE FORD LINE OF TORQUE CONVERTERS FOR THE FORD F-150 TRUCK LINE. *TR

YES MY 4X4 IS NOT WORKING AND I HAVE READ OVER 300 POST EASY ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM PEOPLE ARE HAVING. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH MY TRUCK. OBVIOUSLY IF THERE ARE THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR OF TRUCK AND SAME PROBLEM WHY ISN'T FORD DOING A RECALL? THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS THE IWE, SOLENOID, THE PROBLEM WHY IT HAPPENS IN THE FIRST PLACE IS THERE ISN'T A RAIN COVER OVER THE SOLENOID UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO BECAUSE MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WENT OUT! FORD PLEASE DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR EVEN DIE! I DO BELIEVE THAT FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE A RECALL TO GET THESE VEHICLES FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER REPLACED THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SENSOR BECAUSE WATER HAD ENTERED THE OLD SENSOR AND CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. THE REPLACING OF THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SENSOR DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM GEAR AND THEN FINALLY DID WITH A LOUD CLUNK. WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE FORWARD THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THEN JUMPED INTO GEAR JUMPING THE TRUCK FORWARD. THERE WAS NO WARNING FOR A TRANSMISSION FAILURE IT ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST ALL GEARS. THE MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM AND THAT ONE OF THE INTERNAL SEALS PROBABLY BROKE AND CAUSED A "CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE." *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AT ANYTIME AT SPEEDS AROUND 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN MARCH OF 2011.
