TL* THE CONTACT ALL OWNS A 2009 FORD F 150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS SHE APPROACHED A TRAFFIC LIGHT A VEHICLE CRASHED INTO HER AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. SHE ALSO CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER WHICH CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND REAR END OF HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY. THE CONTACT AND THE PASSENGER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH MINOR INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

2009 FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK 4.6 L EFI V8 ENGINE ACCELORATOR STICKS WHEN BRAKE APPLIED. HAS DONE THIS 6 TIMES SO FAR (ONCE IN REVERSE) AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 1480 MILES. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO SURGE AHEAD EVEN AS I APPLY EXTREME BRAKE PRESSURE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK INTO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I LEFT IT WITH THEM SEVERAL DAYS. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. THEY RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, TWICE, TODAY (6 FEBRUARY 2010) *CN

SEAT CUSHIONS KEPT COMING LOOSE ON BOTH SEATS,MY DEALER SAID IN OCT.2009 FORD HAS A FIX BUT AS OF FEB.1,2010 MY DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS TO FIX. I TOOK MY NEW 2009 F-150 TO A AUTO UPHOLSTERY SHOP AND HAD REPAIRED. I PAID $40 TO HAVE BOTH SEATS REMOVED AND REPAIRED. DEALER WON'T REFUND MY MONEY, TRUCK HAS 5,823 MILES AND PURCHASED NEW 5-26-2009. ALSO THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE TOO BIG AND LEAN FORWARD TOO MUCH PLUS THEY CREATE A BLIND SPOT WHEN BACKING UP. *TR

THE BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMS POORLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A SOFT FEEL TO IT UNLESS I PUMP THE PEDAL 2 OR 3 TIMES. IT ACTS LIKE THERE IS AIR IN THE SYSTEM. THE DEALER STATES THIS FEEL IS NORMAL AND TOOK NO ACTION. ALSO, THE BRAKES HAVE ON 2 OCCASIONS BARELY WORKED, I HAVE NEEDED TO USE BOTH FEET FULL FORCE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY STATE THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD F150 WHICH WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2009. WHILE DRIVING SPEEDS OVER 20 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND REPROGRAMMED A SENSOR TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE THAT EXISTED IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 14,000.

TIRE BLOWOUT BRAND: HANKOOK MODEL: DYNAPRO AS MADE: KOREA DOT: T79C PJNH 4008 I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES, WHILE DRIVING HOME MY FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON MY 2009 FORD F150 TRUCK CAUSING ME TO HIT THE SIDE MEDIAN WHICH THEN CAUSED MY TRAILER TIRE TO BLOW OUT AND BENT MY TRAILER TIRES RIM AS WELL. WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED MY TRUCK ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 3000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER AND THEY ARGUED THAT SOME ONE CUT IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER TIRE SHOP BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOKED AT IT THEY SAID THAT THE RIM ON THE TIRE HAD CAUSED THE CUT. AND IT INDEED WAS FORDS FAULT. I REPLACED THE TIRE AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. SAME BRAND SAME MODEL SO IT WOULD MATCH. TODAY ON JAN 14 2010 I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, WHEN THEY ROTATED MY TIRES THE NEW TIRE I BOUGHT HAD A MASSIVE BALL ON THE INSIDE OF IT. THE NEW TIRE ONLY HAD 3000 MILES OF WEAR. THESE TIRES ARE THE STOCK TIRES THAT FORD HAS BEEN USING ON THEIR F-150 SERIES SINCE 2007 AND PROBABLY LONGER. I HAD A SET OF THESE TIRES ON MY 2007 F-150 AND AT 9000 MILES THEY STARTED FORMING BALLS ON THE TIRES, AND THE FRONT TIRES BEGAN TO CUP OUTWARD. BOTH TRUCKS I HAVE PURCHASED FROM SPIKES FORD IN MISSION TEXAS. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLES THEY CAME WITH TIRE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY WHEN I TOOK IT TO FORD THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT COVER ANYTHING. IN MY OPINION THESE PROBLEMS ON TWO SEPARATE VEHICLES TWO YEARS APART ARE A FIRESTONE HAZARD IN THE MAKING. I LIKE FORD VEHICLES BUT WHEN SOMEONE STARTS PUTTING MY LIFE AND OTHERS IN DANGER I CANT TOLERATE THAT. I KNOW THAT IF THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES WITH TWO DIFFERENT F-150S FROM TWO DIFFERENT YEARS IT HAS OCCURRED TO OTHERS AS WELL. *TR
