THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED OCT, 2006. JUNE, 2007 UPON APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE DID NOT DECELERATE FOR APPROX. 2 SEC. JULY, 2007 WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH I MOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE TO SLOW FOR A LEFT TURN. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT DECELERATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 SEC. THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 5000 RPMS. AS I TOOK THE DITCH, THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. NOV, 2007 I STARTED MY TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY. AS SOON AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 5000 RPMS. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS AS THE BACK RIGHT TIRE SQUEALED, LEAVING BLACK TREAD MARKS IN MY DRIVE. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ACCELERATION DID NOT STOP. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK IT IDLED NORMALLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, CLAIMING THAT SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE. DEC, 2007 WHILE IN BUSY TRAFFIC IN THE RAIN AND DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO BRAKE. THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 6000 RPMS, NEARLY REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE MANAGER DROVE IT FOR A WEEK AND FOUND NOTHING. IT WAS RETURNED TO US WITH A BLACK BOX INSTALLED CALLED A "FLIGHT RECORDER". WE WERE INSTRUCTED TO PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE DEVICE AT THE NEXT OCCURRENCE TO CAPTURE DATA TO "PROVE" THE PROBLEM. THE FIFTH INCIDENT OCCURRED AGAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY FEB 2, 2008. AS I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE THE TRUCK REVVED TO APPROX. 6000 RPMS. I STOOD ON THE BRAKE AS THE BACK RIGHT TIRE SQUEALED, LEAVING TREAD MARKS ON THE DRIVE. I PRESSED THE BUTTON ON THE FLIGHT RECORDER AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THE ACCELERATION STOPPED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. AFTER A WEEKS TIME AND INSPECTION BY A COMPANY ENGINEER, WE WERE ADVISED THE CAPTURED INFORMATION HAD BEEN LOST AND THAT THE ENGINEER BELIEVED I WAS ACCIDENTALLY STANDING ON THE ACCELERATOR IN LIEU OF THE BRAKE. *TR

411V107000 · Air Bags:frontal:driver Side:inflator Module
Feb 23, 2011
FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 F-150 PICK UP TRUCKS AS WELL AS CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 LINCOLN MARK LT VEHICLES. IF THE CLOCKSPRING JUMPER WIRE COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG LOWER HORN PLATE, THE WIRE INSULATION MAY BECOME CHAFED, CREATING A POTENTIAL FOR A SHORT CIRCUIT. IF THIS OCCURS THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP MAY ILLUMINATE INDICATING THAT SERVICE IS REQUIRED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL IF OCCURRING WHILE IN MOTION.
Remedy: FORD WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND INSTRUCT THEM TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO A FORD OR LINCOLN/MERCURY DEALER TO HAVE A NEW CLOCKSPRING JUMPER WIRE INSTALLED THAT INCORPORATES A PROTECTIVE MESH COVER. REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THIS SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON SOME VEHICLES IN MARCH 2011. THE RECALL CAMPAIGN ON THE EXPANDED POPULATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT MAY 9, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER AT 1-866-436-7332.

May 7, 2008
FORD IS RECALLING 605,684 MY 2005-2006 F-150 AND LINCOLN MARK LT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 5.4L 3-VALVE ENGINES. THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY HOSE ATTACHED TO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FITTING MAY SWELL OVER TIME AND LOSE RETENTION FORCE. THIS CONDITION COULD ALLOW THE HOSE TO BECOME DETACHED FROM THE FITTING DURING AN INTAKE MANIFOLD BACKFIRE. SHOULD THE HOSE DETACH FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, SEVERAL BRAKE APPLICATIONS WITH POWER ASSIST WILL BE AVAILABLE BEFORE THE VACUUM RESERVE IS DEPLETED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: ONCE THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM RESERVE IS DEPLETED, THE DRIVER WILL HAVE FOUNDATION BRAKE FUNCTION, BUT WITH INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT. REDUCED VEHICLE BRAKING COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE A RUBBER HOSE ON THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY TUBE ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 27, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.

Feb 6, 2006
CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH EITHER THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 105, 'HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS' OR FMVSS NO. 135, 'PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS.' THESE VEHICLES WERE BUILT WITH A SOFTWARE ERROR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS ERROR COULD PREVENT THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING LIGHT FROM ILLUMINATING IF THE ABS MODULE EVER BECAME INOPERATIVE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RECALIBRATE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN THESE VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673.
05V520000 · Visibility:windshield Wiper/washer:motor
Nov 9, 2005
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, PASSENGER CARS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MAY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED WITHOUT GREASE BEING APPLIED TO THE OUTPUT SHAFT GEAR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AFTER A PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS USE ON THE HIGH SPEED SETTING, LACK OF GREASE ON THE OUTPUT SHAFT GEAR MAY CAUSE THE GEAR TO DISTORT OR FRACTURE DURING OPERATION RESULTING IN A LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. INOPERATIVE WIPERS UNDER INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS COULD CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WIPER MOTOR FOR THE PRESENCE OF GREASE AND GREASE THE WIPER MOTOR GEARS IF NECESSARY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FORD AT 1-800-392-3673 OR LINCOLN/MERCURY AT 1-800-521-4140.

ODI opened this investigation based on reports of inadvertent airbag deployment.Data provided by Ford indicated that the airbag clockspring jumper wire, which is situated inside the steering wheel assembly, was installed in a manner that would allow it to rub (abrade) against a sharp metal edge on the nearby horn plate.Because the horn plate is electrically grounded the abrasion of an airbag wire on the sharp edge could cause a short circuit condition.As a result the airbag light may illuminate and/or the airbag may inadvertently deploy.Inadvertent deployments are most likely to occur during the airbag system's self-diagnostic test that initiates when the ignition switch is turned on.Ford modified the vehicle design in late January 2006 adding a protective tape over the sharp metal edge of the horn plate.Ford made additional design changes on MY 2007 vehicles to the horn plate, the clockspring jumper, and the connector layouts to further address this issue.ODI identified 318 deployment incidents with 121 alleged injury reports from subject vehicles.All but one of the incident and injury reports occurred in vehicles built before the January 2006 modification.In addition, there was one incident and alleged injury reported in the MY 2006 Mark LT vehicles that share the same design. In letters dated February 21 and April 11, 2011, Ford announced a recall of all of the approximately 1.3 million MY 2004-2006 F-150 vehicles built prior to January 24, 2006, the date the initial vehicle modification was made.In addition, approximately 14,000 MY 2006 Mark LT vehicles built prior to January 24, 2006 will also be recalled.Vehicles built after that date, which contain the modification, are not within the recall scope.Accordingly the investigation is closed.
