| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | SPARK PLUGS CANNOT BE CHANGED BECAUSE OF DESIGN OF CYLINDER HEAD. THIS IS A SPARK PLUG BREAKAGE INSIDE THE HEAD. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON 5.4 LITER FORD MOTORS AS REPORTED ON FORUMS AND THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH. 1998 TO 2008 MOTORS ARE NOTORIOUS LEADING CONSUMERS TO EITHER PAY HUGE REPAIR BILLS OR TRADE BEFORE THEY WISH TO TRADE. ALSO, SOMEONE WISHING TO CHANGE HIS PLUGS FOR PROPER EMISSIONS OR PROPER MAINTENANCE IS JUST SCREWED. SCARED TO DEATH TO HAVE THEM CHANGED EVEN AT A DEALERSHIP. FORD MECHANICS EVEN HAVE TROUBLE.THIS IS NO FEW VEHICLES. THIS IS WIDESPREAD. |
| 2005 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I HAVE A 2005 F-150 SUPERCREW. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS - APPROXIMATELY 70K MILES ON TRUCK AT THE TIME - THE VEHICLE GOES INTO A "FAIL SAFE" MODE WITH THE CODES P2111 AND P2104. THE ACCELERATOR STOPS WORKING AND YOU HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF. THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN VERY UNSAFE AND CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND CONTACTED FORD WHO STATES THERE IS NO CURRENT ISSUES WITH THIS. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND THE VEHICLE AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON ONLINE FORD FORUMS. WHEN I WENT TO ORDER THE PART, I WAS ADVISED BY MY DEALER THAT IT WAS ON BACKORDER. THAT CAUSES ME EVEN MORE CONCERN!! I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR |
