Important Notice Regarding Recall Gaps & Dealership Goodwill Requests

Statutory vs. Discretionary Remedies: Because your vehicle model year is currently excluded from official NHTSA campaign 11V107000, authorized dealerships are not legally mandated under federal law (49 U.S.C. Section 30120) to perform free recall repairs on your vehicle.

Discretionary Goodwill Policies: The Goodwill Reference Packet generated below compiles public NHTSA safety records to assist you in requesting a voluntary, discretionary warranty adjustment from your dealership service director or manufacturer customer care division. Goodwill assistance is not an entitlement, is not guaranteed, and is granted solely at the discretion of the manufacturer and dealership based on vehicle age, mileage, and brand loyalty.

The driver side air bag went off while reversing out of my home. The air bag went off while my arm was across the steering wheel.

ODI #11210491 • Incident Date: 03/21/2019
WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED ON LEVEL GROUND IN A PARKING LOT, I NOTICED WHAT A APPEARED TO BE A HOLE RUSTED THROUGH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL LARGE HOLES BEGINNING IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEEL AND EXTENDING TO ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE CAB. THESE HOLES ARE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, (BOTH SIDES OF THE RAIL), ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. I FEEL THIS SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISES THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME AND MAKES IT LESS SAFE TO OPERATE. I AM ALSO VERY SURPRISED TO SEE SO MUCH CORROSION ON AN 11 YEAR TRUCK. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE TRUCK 5 YEARS AGO, TO FORD MOTOR CO., AND TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. NONE OF THESE ATTEMPTS HAVE RESULTED IN ANY ACTION. I'M SURE MINE IS NOT THE ONLY F150 WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THE WORD GETS OUT.

Adjacent Recall Summary (08V208000): 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.

Safety 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.

THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE CONTACTED AND EXPRESSED TO THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD CALL HIM BACK AT A LATER DATE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

ODI #10376122 • Incident Date: 06/03/2009
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW IN 2008. I DISCOVERED WHAT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE BRAKE & GAS PEDALS. THEY ARE SPACED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND AT THE SAME LEVEL. WHEN PLACING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT SOMETIMES IS POSITIONED ON THE RIGHT AND OVERLAPS THE GAS PEDAL AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING A HEAVY BOAT OR TRAVEL TRAILER. THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE AS THE BRAKES WEAR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO TRAVEL FURTHER DOWNWARD TOWARDS THE FLOOR. IN OTHER WORDS, THE GAS PEDAL IS ALSO FORCED FURTHER DOWNWARD. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I CONTACTED FORD (CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT) ABOUT THIS AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY DEALER, WHICH I DID. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT COULD DO NOTHING AS FORD HAS NOT CONTACTED THEM WITH A FIX. I SEE ON YOUR WEB-SITE THAT THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOUR ATTENTION BY OTHER F-150 OWNERS.
ODI #10376124 • Incident Date: 06/01/2009
THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW SAFETY PROBLEM. ON MY 2008 FORD F-150 PICK-UP TRUCK, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS MOUNTED TOO CLOSE TO THE GAS PEDAL. IF, DURING A "PANIC STOP" MY FOOT IS NOT PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT TENDS TO OVER LAP THE GAS PEDAL AND WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE, WILL ACTUALLY ACCELERATE THE TRUCK. THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE AS THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES WEAR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES EVEN FURTHER. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ADVISED ME TO CONTACT MY DEALER, WHICH I DID. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT CAN DO NOTHING TO FIX IT SINCE FORD HAS NOT GIVEN THEM A FIX. THIS COULD E A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WHEN TOWING A HEAVY LOAD SUCH AS A TRAVEL TRAILER OR LARGE BOAT. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ADDRESSED ON THIS SITE AND ALSO OTHER FORD TRUCK BLOG SITES.

Statutory vs. Discretionary Remedies: Because your vehicle model year is currently excluded from official NHTSA campaign 05V520000, authorized dealerships are not legally mandated under federal law (49 U.S.C. Section 30120) to perform free recall repairs on your vehicle.

Discretionary Goodwill Policies: The Goodwill Reference Packet generated below compiles public NHTSA safety records to assist you in requesting a voluntary, discretionary warranty adjustment from your dealership service director or manufacturer customer care division. Goodwill assistance is not an entitlement, is not guaranteed, and is granted solely at the discretion of the manufacturer and dealership based on vehicle age, mileage, and brand loyalty.

WHY ISN'T THE COMPANY DOING ANYTHING TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX.

ODI #10280407 • Incident Date: 08/12/2009
SMELLED ODOR OF GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES AND WHEN EXITED VEHICLE, STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. WALKED TO REAR OF VEHICLE AND SAW A TRAIL OF GASOLINE SPLATTERS BEHIND 2008 FORD F150. LOOKED UNDER VEHICLE AND SAW A POOL OF GASOLINE WITH GASOLINE DRIPPING FROM ALL AROUND FUEL TANK AND SURROUNDING AREA. IMMEDIATELY GOT ASSISTANCE AND DETERMINED THAT GASOLINE WAS COMING FROM AREA AT TOP OF FUEL TANK-AREA OF FUEL PUMP (BY TURNING KEY ON A 1-2 SECONDS WHILE ASSISTANT WATCHED UNDER PICKUP). WE REMOVED THE FUSE TO FUEL PUMP RELAY AND TOWED VEHICLE (100 FT) TO AREA WHERE WE COULD WASH GASOLINE OFF WITH WATER HOSE AND PUSHED VEHICLE INTO SHOP AND REMOVED PICKUP BED TO GET A VISUAL AT LEAK AREA. VENT HOSE TO FILLER CAP WAS BROKEN AT TOP OF TANK (THIS IS NOT A HOSE THAT NORMALLY HAS GASOLINE OR PRESSURE. REINSTALLED FUSE AND RAPIDLY TURNED KEY ON AND OFF WITH 2 PERSONS WATCHING. A HUGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE WAS SPRAYED OUT WHEN THE PUMP WAS ENERGIZED. WHEN ASSISTANT TOUCHED THE HOSE AT SOURCE OF LEAKAGE TO PULL HOSE OFF, THE PLASTIC CONNECTION ON THE PUMP BROKE OFF (NO FORCE WAS APPLIED). CALLED FORD DEALER AND WERE INFORMED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY--INFORMED THEM OF OBSERVATIONS AND ACTION WE TOOK. WHEN FORD GOT THE VEHICLE THEY BASICALLY SAID THIS WAS AN OWNER ABUSE AND WAS NOT A DEFECT. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECT TO ANY ROUGH TREATMENT. IF I HAD DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE ENOUGH TO GET EXHAUST HOT OR HAD ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BASICALLY EXPLODED AND BURNED, IT PROBABLY LOST 5-6 GALLON OF GAS IN 3 MILES(5 MINUTES). THERE WAS A SPLIT IN PLASTIC CONNECTION THAT BROKE OFF AND APPEARANCE OF OTHER CRACKS IN AREA. IN MOST CASES THE FIRST EVIDENCE OF A PROBLEM WOULD BE WHEN THE VEHICLE IGNITED. ENOUGH GASOLINE DRIPPED OFF TANK AREA ON ASPHALT TO MAR AREA. FORD DEALER HAS VEHICLE AND PARTS, INDICATED IT WOULD BE 4-10 DAYS TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS HAS SERIOUS FIRE POTENTIAL AND I HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR BREAK EXCEPT DEFECTIVE. *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ALAN VIGIL FORD IN MORROW GA AND THEY SAY THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I CAN SEE WHY SOME PEOPLE RUN OVER THINGS EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY THEY ARE ON THE BRAKE. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY I WOULD THINK THAT THEY COULD CORRECT THIS BY ADJUSTING THE BRAKE WHEN BEING DEPRESSED FROM GOING DOWN LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

ODI #10240608 • Incident Date: 04/28/2008
I THINK IT A CRIME THAT FORDS PUT TOWING WEIGHTS ON THEIR WEB SITES AND IN BOOKLETS AND IT IS FALSE. WE BOUGHT FORD 150 IN MARCH SO THAT WE COULD TOW OUR 32"'TRAVEL TRAILER THAT WEIGHS 7,000 LBS. ALL DOCUMENTATION STATES IT CAN PULL 9,000 LBS. WE HAVE PULLED OUR UNIT 3 TIMES AND EVERYTIME WE PRAY THAT WE MAKE IT TO OUR DESTINATION AND HOME SAFELY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO RATES THESE VEHICLES TOWING CAPACITY. OUR NEW TRUCK STRUGGLES AND SWAYS SO BAD. WE HAVE A SWAY BAR TOO. I AM GOING TO GO AS FAR AS I CAN TO PREVENT ANY OTHER POOR SOLE FROM EXPERIENCING WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING. AS THE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS TOWING WHAT OUT THERE. WE HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENT OR DEATHS YET BUT I WILL BE KEEPING COPIES OF EVERYTHING I SEND SO IF I DO DIE PULLING THIS TRAILER, I HAVE ADVISED MY CHILDREN TO FIGHT FOR OTHER PEOPLE. WE PAY ALOT OF MONEY A MONTH JUST TO TOW THIS TRAILER AND THE DARN TRUCK WON'T TOW IT, BUT ALL DOCUMENTATION SAYS IT SHOULD. MAYBE IT IS JUST US, BUT MY HUSBAND IS NOT A FEARFUL PERSON WHAT SO EVER AND TOWING THIS TRAILER DOES CAUSE SOME FEAR. *TR
ODI #10239092 • Incident Date: 08/02/2008
BOUGHT A 2008 F-150 AND THE A/C DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY. CHECKED IT AGAINST A 2005 F-150 THAT I OWN AND NEW TRUCK A/C IS 8 DEGREES WARMER. TOOK NEW TRUCK BACK TO DEALER, GOT A LOANER 2008 AND CHECKED IT'S A/C. IT COOLS LIKE THE 2005. DEALER SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH A/C. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER TWICE NOW AND NOW IS COOLING 15 DEGREES WARMER THAN ORIGINALLY. DEALER WILL NOT HELP. CONTACTED CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN DEABORN,MI AND THEY ENDED UP TALKING TO MY DEALER AND SAID SAME THING ..NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND IT GETS HOT HERE. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN COOLING SOMETHING FROM SAY 95 DEGREES TO 115 DEGREES. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH A/C AND FORD DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR FIX IT. *TR

Discretionary Goodwill Policies: The Goodwill Reference Packet generated below compiles public NHTSA safety records to assist you in requesting a voluntary, discretionary warranty adjustment from your dealership service director or manufacturer customer care division. Goodwill assistance is not an entitlement, is not guaranteed, and is granted solely at the discretion of the manufacturer and dealership based on vehicle age, mileage, and brand loyalty.
