This vehicle, as do all, have dual master cylinders, great, always have a front or rear brake system function in an emergency, but this vehicle also has FLEXIBLE to hard lines from master cylinder to ABS unit. I was driving down our long downhill driveway, pressed on the brake pedal, heard a pop and pedal went to the floor, NO brakes at all and buy the time I got to the emergency brake, which did little to stop the truck, I was out in the road. Glad I wasn't out on a highway doing 50MPH. Examined what had happened and the brake line from the master cylinder to ABS unit split where the flexible line joined the hard line, and when that line breaks, no brakes at all, no backup safety system. Don't know how the flexible lines ever passed safety requirements when manufactured, but they certainly shouldn't be on a truck that's 23 years old and all should be replaced with hard lines.

Truck will not go into proper gear. You have to put emergency brake on and put transmission in neutral to crank the vehicle.

THIS IS A PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION, I HAVE 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE AT DEALERSHIPS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY AND HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CHANGES, I SEE TOO MANY PEOPLE THESE DAYS DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON AT NIGHT, ITS BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS COME ON AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. THEY SEE THEIR INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ON SO THEY THINK THEIR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. A SOFTWARE UPDATE ACROSS THE BOARD OF MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE MADE TO NOT TURN ON INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS UNLESS PARKING LIGHTS OR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE YEARS AGO

I HAVE A 2000 FORD F150 4X4 5.4 LITER ENGINE WITH NOW MY SECOND BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG. I PAID A LOT FOR THE FIRST SPARK PLUG REPAIR. I KNOW THIS IS A FORD DESIGN PROBLEM - IT IS WELL-KNOWN. IS FORD COMPENSATING CONSUMERS FOR "THEIR" PROBLEM? I ONLY HAVE 140,685 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND DO ALL THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE MYSELF AND THE SPECIFIED INTERVALS. IF FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT THEN IT IS THE GOVERNMENT'S REPSONSIBILITY TO MAKE THEM. I AM RETIRED AND NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THIS MYSELF. CAN YOU DIRECT ME TO THE RIGHT GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT OR ARE YOU IT? FORD MUST COMPENSATE THE CONSUMER FULLY AND NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE THE CONSUMER AS THE GUINEA PIG AND HAVE US FORK OUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEIR KNOWN BAD DESIGN. THE DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH THREADS IN TO THE HEAD TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUG IN. OVER TIME THE SPARK PLUG LOOSENS UP AND BLOWS OUT DUE TO THE HIGH COMPRESSION OF THE PISTON. ALL MECHANICS KNOW OF THIS ISSUE AND HAVE REPAIR HUNDREDS OF THESE PROBLEMS! *JS

THE HALF REAR DOORS ACCESSING THE REAR BENCH SEAT ARE DEFECTIVE. THE DOORS HAVE A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING/OPENING HANDLE. THE FORD DEALER LOCALLY WANTS TO CHARGE ME IN EXCESS OF $1119.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER VIA THE INTERNET & HAVE FOUND THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON COMPLAINT.

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F-150 AT AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE RUBBER PEALED OFF MY GENERAL GRABBER AW TIRE. AS A RESULT IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY REAR FENDER WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AS WELL AS MY REAR LIGHT. I HAVE PRIMEWELL VALERA TIRES ON THE FRONT AND THEY ARE CRACKING. I PURCHASED ALL TIRES AT FIRESTONE. OF COURSE, WHEN BRINGING THE COMPLAINT TO FIRESTONE THEY SAY I HAVE TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THEY DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THAT NAME BRAND.

TAMARA RECALL. MY 2000 MODEL FORD F150 WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY LAST NIGHT. IT HAD BEEN PARKED THERE SINCE NOON. AT 11:10 LAST NIGHT, I SAW FLAMES COMING FROM OUTSIDE, AND MY TRUCKS HOOD WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WONDERING WHAT WOULD MAKE IT CATCH ON FIRE.

TAKATA RECALL, ON MY 2000 FORD F-150 IT HAD VERY FEW ISSUES TILL THIS OCCURED. AT JUST OVER 130,000 MILES THE ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING ON THE INTERSTATE AND PROGRESSIVELY GREW WORSE AS I WAS LOOKING FOR A EXIT, IT STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I GOT IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT DIED. LATER THAT DAY I HAD A TOW TRUCK PULL IT UP TO A TRUSTED SHOP ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY. THE MECHANIC THERE SAID THAT IT DROPED A ROD AND THE CRANKSHAFT WAS SHOT. AFTER TALKING TO HIM, HE SAID THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY FREQUENT OCCURRENCE. I TOOK IT TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER SHOP A FEW MILES AWAY AND HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION. BOTH MECHANICS AND A FEW FOURMS ON THE INTERNET SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1998-2003 AND 2004 HERITAGE, THAT HAVE THE FORD 5.4 TRITON 2V ENGINE. AT THE MECHANIC THE THE TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED AS NONREPAREABLE ENGINE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE SWAPED OUT FOR A DIFFRENT ONE. THE COST OF THIS WAS FOR A REBUILT ENGINE BY JASPER'S BECASUE A DONOR TRUCK ENGINE WOULD BE PRONE TO THE SAME FAILURE. THE COST TO REPLACE WOULD TOTAL OUT TO BE AROUND $6500 BETWEEN PARTS AND LABOR INCLUDING THE NEW ENGINE. BE WARY OF THE FORD 5.4 2V ENGINES, THERE ARE A FEW UNICORNS OUT THERE THAT WILL NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT MOST, EVEN IF THEY HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE LIKE MINE WILL BE PRONE TO THIS FATE.

IN DRIVEWAY ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER WORK AND HEARD AN EXPLOSION. WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THE TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. HAD BOUGHT THE TRUCK ABOUT 8 YEARS AGO. COME ACROSS RECALL ON CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH BUT NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL AFTER THE FIRE. HAD ABOUT $500 BRAKE JOB A MONTH BEFORE. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE.

WHILE IN NEUTRAL THERE IS A WHINNING NOISE PUSH CLUTCH IN IT QUIETENS BUT ITS TOUGH SWITCHING INTO GEARS. IT GRINDS VERY HARD TO PUT SHIFTER IN ANY GEAR. NOW IT WHINES ALL THE TIME. AND IT GRINDS EVEN MORE NOW GOING FROM FIRST TO SECOND UPON ACCELERATING . WHEN IN REVERSE IT STUTTERS REALLY BAD IVE CHECKED ALL FLUIDS.

AROUND 4A.M I SMELLED FROM MY ROOM SOMETHING BURNING I WOKE UP LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW & SAW FIRE COMING OUT OF MY 2000 F-150 PICK UP TRUCK FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WENT OUTSIDE & TOOK THE MATTER IN MY OWN HANDS I QUICKLY GOT THE HOUSE WATER HOSE & TURNED OFF THE FLAMES. THANK GOD FIRE DID NOT REACH ANY FUEL LINES NOBODY WAS INJURED & FIRE DID NOT REACH THE HOUSE. I WAS THINKING OF HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN IF MY TRUCK WAS NOT MOVED FOR 2 DAYS & WAS JUST PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I WENT AHEAD & DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE & FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE SAFETY RECALL 05S28-SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH FIRE.

THATS WHEN I SAW A GOOD SIZED FLAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WENT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE TRUCK AND CALLED 911. MY TRUCK QUICKLY WENT UP IN FLAMES. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND ALOT OF TRUCKS THE SAME YEAR AS MINE WERE CATCHING FIRE DUE TO A RECALL FOR THE SPEED CONTROL SENSOR. I THEN LOOKED INTO THAT AND FOUND THERE WAA NO PENDING RECALL FOR THAT ISSUE FOR MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT FIND IF IT HAD BEEN DONE ON MY TRUCK PREVIOUSLY.
