2005 Ford F-150 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE LOCAL DEALER MEL ERVIN FORD LOCATED AT 15455 OAKLEY RD, CHESANING, MI 48616, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SUB FRAME OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED RUSTING AND CORROSION UNDER THE CABIN SECTION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WE PURCHASED FOUR NEW TIRES HANKOOK KONTROL P255/65 AND DROVE THE TRUCK LESS THAN A WEEK AND THE SIDE WALL BELT IN THE TIRE HAD A BLOWOUT NO ROUGH DRIVING, NO EXCESSIVE DRIVING JUST TO AND FROM WORK ON A CLEAN HIGHWAY WITH NO DEBRIS. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK ON THE HIGHWAY AND HE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK INTO THE DITCH AS IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE ON A TWO LANE HIGH WAY THAT HAD A LOT OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HWY 53 IN JOLIET, IL DRIVING STRAIGHT SOUTH AND THERE WAS A LARGE BANG NOISE AND THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT WITH A BELT BLOWN ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL BEFORE THIS KILLS SOMEONE. WAS TOLD BY BE DEALER THAT IT WOULD NOT BE WARRANTED AS THE TIRE WAS USED A FEW DAYS AND THEY ARE HARD TO DEAL WITH WHEN IT COMES TO A WARRANTY ISSUE

TRUCK FRAME RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. THE FRAME RUST IS EXCESSIVE AFTER TAKING GREAT CARE OF THE TRUCK.

MY TRUCK IS RATTLING BAD AND ITS THE TIMING CHAIN FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE OIL SEALS ON THE TENSIONERS START LEAKING CAUSING THEM TO NOT KEEP THE CHAIN TIGHT LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND ALSO FAILS TO PUSH OIL AROUND TO THE RIGHT SIDE CAM WHICH CAUSES IT TO FAIL. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE INJURIES IF THE TRUCK STALLS OUT. ALSO THE SPARK PLUGS BLOW OUT OF THE HEADS CAUSING VERY HIGH REPAIR BILLS. THIS ALSO COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT. FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND THERE MISTAKE AND MAKE IT RIGHT FIX OR REPLACE THE ENGINE NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT. MY TRUCK REPAIRS WILL COST OVER $7000 DOLLARS TO FIX BECAUSE FORD WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM THEY KNEW ABOUT. I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES WITH VAL OIL AND LUCUS OIL STABILIZER BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS TO HELP THE RATTLE ALITTLE BUT ITS JUST GOING TO GET WORSE AND I CANT AFFORD $7000 TO REPLACE AN ENGINE. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IT RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. *TR

ENGINE TAPPING WHEN WARM ONLY AT IDLE DOESN'T DO IT WHILE COLD OR WHILE DRIVING I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID IT'S DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW WITH FORD 5.7 ENGINES.

EXPERIENCE I GUESS THE THEY CALL IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. MAKES MY VEHICLE FEEL LIKE IT NOT ME A TING TO RUN RIGHT THE STEERING IS WEIRD AND CAN'T GET FORD TO CHECK IT OUT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH IT THEY SAY JUST GET AN ALIGNMENT BUT THAT ISN'T HELPING

WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 40, VEHICLE WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE (HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES). SUBSEQUENTLY, ENGINE BEGAN WITH A TICKING NOISE WITH EVER INCREASING RATTLING/SHAKING TO A POINT THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE STOPPING OR IDLING IN CITY TRAFFIC. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL COILS & PLUGS, THROTTLE BODY, FUEL FILTER, ETC. VEHICLE RAN FINE FOR SIX MONTHS, HOWEVER THE RATTLING, KNOCKING, SHAKING, SURGING, STALLING HAVE RETURNED TWO FOLD. VEHICLE IS NOW EXPERIENCING A MASSIVE OIL LEAK FROM THE ENGINE. HAD IT CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIRS (BUT DID COMPLETE AN OIL CHANGE). FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THESE ISSUES ARE NOT JUST INCONVENIENT AND EXPENSIVE BUT MORTALLY DANGEROUS TO THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO ANYONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. STEP UP FORD!

ME ENTER HOY QUE MI TRUCK TENA VARIOS RECALL Y NO HE RECIBIDO AVISO, GRACIAS POR SU ATENCION.

THE BRAKE WARNING LITE REMAINS ON. I'M TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT IT IS DUE TO A BROKEN CONNECTION IN THE DASH BOARD CIRCUIT BOARD AND HE SAID IT IS A RELATIVELY COMMON FAULT. REPAIR REQUIRES REMOVING THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD AND REPLACEMENT OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD.

1. BRAKE DOT 3 IS RUNNING OUT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING, I MUST PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REFILL THE OIL TANK. 2. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SPEED REACHES AT AROUND 45-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOSES POWER AND HIT AT 3-5 MPH BEFORE STOPPING. AFTER I COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND RESET THE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE STARTS NORMAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAPPENED FROM 2009 TO CURRENT TIME, BUT THE ODB SCAN DOES NOT DETECT ANY CODE OR ERRORS.

ON 9-14-19 I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO DRIVE. WITHOUT REALIZING IT, MY SEAT BELT DID NOT RECOIL THE LAST TIME I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK. WHEN I REACHED TO PUT THE SEAT BELT ON, WITHOUT KNOWING IT, THE SEAT BELT WRAPPED ITSELF AROUND THE SEAT RECLINING HANDLE. WHILE DRIVING I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE BELT MUST OF TIGHTENED UP MORE AND PULLED THE RECLINING HANDLE WHICH PUT ME IN A LATERAL POSITION WHILE DRIVING. IF I HADN'T PULL MYSELF UP BY THE STEERING WHEEL AND SLAM ON MY BRAKES, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY TRUCK ANYMORE WITHOUT CHECKING ON THE SEAT BELT EVERY DAY.

BOUGHT TRUCK LEAST WEEK TOOK IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT HALF SHAFT IS ROTTEN TO THE POINT IT'S PITTING. THE STEERING SHAFT IS RUSTED OUT AND THE MAJORITY OF THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT NEAR WHERE ALL THE IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE HELD IN PLACE. AS I DO RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM I'M FINDING IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 61000 MILES ON IT AND IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS MUCH WEAR ON THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. FORD REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO A RECALL BECAUSE THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TRUCKS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A FORD AND NEVER WILL AGAIN. THE CAR IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS AND IT'S A MATTER OF TIME WHEN IT RUSTS ALL THE WAY THRU. STATIONARY ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS AS OF RIGHT NOW. I WILL BE TAKING MORE THE OIL SHOP HAS PICTURES THAT HE SHOWED ME.

ALSO GAS TANK CAN FELL DUE TO THE TANK HOLDER STREEPS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CORROTED CHASSIS.

I HAVE PUT 3 TRANSMISSION IN AND ONLY LAST ABOUT 4-5 YRS THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND IT LOST POWER

MY 2005 FORD F150 HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SUA, "SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW OFF A FORD DEALER LOT. THIS IS NOT DRIVER ERROR OR FLOOR MATS LIKE FORD EXPLANS AS THE PROBLEM. SUA DOES EXSIST. COMPLAINTS PEAKED IN 2005 FORD TRUCKS! ONLY HAVE 16K MILES ON MY VEHICLE BUT HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF NEAR ACCIDENTS OVER THE YEARS. WOULD GLADLY PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT THE ANSWER I ALWAYS GET " WHAT PROBLEM, IT DOESN'T EXSIST" SUA HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE WITH TRUCK IN GEAR AND IN MOTION. HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE MODE. CAN NOT DRIVE ANY MORE WITHOUT KEEPING MY HAND ON THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER TO THROW INTO NEUTRAL WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. WORST INCIDENT WAS WHEN I NEARLY REAR ENDED A STOPPED SCHOOL BUS.

CHASSIS IS ROTTED OUT AND CANNOT EVEN BE PUT ON A LIFT. TOOK MY TRUCK TO BE INSPECTED AND THE FOUND THE CHASSIS ROTTED AND ADVISED NOT TO PUT ON LIFT

TRANSMISSION CLUNKS. TRUCK STALLS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS.

I NOTICE NUMEROUS OF F 150 LIKE MINE PAINT ON HOOD AND CAB FADING. ALL THE REST OF THE BODY PAINT IS GREAT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE ITEMS.FORD SHOULD LET CUSTOMERS BRING TRUCK IN FOR A TOUCH UP OR PAINT JOB.

I HAVE A 2005 F150 FX4 THAT I BOUGHT IN 2010. IN 2017 WITH THE TRUCK BEING 12 YEARS OLD. I HAD TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROAD BECAUSE OF FRAME ROT! THIS WAS MY BABY AND TAKEN WELL CARE OF. BOTH SIDES IN FRONT OF THE REAR AXLE ARE ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT A JACK JUST GOES RIGHT THROUGH THEM. THE INSPECTION FAILED BECAUSE IF THEY WOULD HAVE LIFTED IT, IT WOULD HAVE FOLDED IN HALF. ALSO HAS A BROKEN FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING. I SHOULD HAVE A VEHICLE WORTH AROUND 8-10 GRAND THAT IS GOING TO SELL FOR SCRAP METAL PRICED. WHY ARE AMERICAN AUTO MAKER NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING DEFECTIVE VEHICLES? MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS AN 199O TOYOTA TACOMA THAT HAD A FRAME ROT RECALL AND MINE WAS SPOTLESS. FAST FORWARD, BOUGHT AN AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE THAT COST ME 15 GRAND AND GOT 6 AND A HALF YEARS OUT OF AND NO ONE HOLDING FORD RESPONSIBLE! SICKENING!

I OWN A 2005 FORD F-150 4X4 EXTENDED CAB WITH JUST OVER 60,000 MI. FOR ITS AGE, THE TRUCK IS IN PRETTY NICE SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THE FRAME, IT'S GONE, RUSTED! THERE IS A SECTION BETWEEN THE CAB & ENGINE BAY THAT YOU CAN PUT YOUR FINGERS THROUGH, NOT ONE BUT SEVERAL FINGERS, LET ALONE IN OTHER AREAS THOUGH OUT THE FRAME THAT ARE ALSO ROTTED THROUGH. IT'S A BOXED FRAME WITH NO INSIDE COATING MADE WITH WHAT I READ ELSEWHERE WAS CHEEP STEEL, WON'T MENTION WHERE FROM, BUT NOT US STEEL. YES I LIVE IN NE, AND IT HAS TASTED SALT FROM THE ROADS, BUT I ALSO KEPT IT CLEAN ALL WINTER LONG. I PAID A LOT FOR THIS TRUCK, BOUGHT IT NEW AND NOW FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN CHEATED. I AM NOW ON MY THIRD NEW FORD TRUCK, A 2018, AND I'M AFRAID TO WALK BUY IT WITH A SALT SHAKER IN MY HAND. MY FIRST WAS A 1984 F-250 THAT I DROVE FOR 21 YEARS, PUT 100,000 MILES ON IT, SOLD IT IN 05, AND IS STILL ON THE ROAD TO THIS DAY ON IT'S THIRD OWNER. I KNOW WHERE IT LIVES. I'M READING ON LINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS, LET ALONE I BELIEVE FORD HAS ALREADY REPLACED FRAMES IN A MINI VAN FOR THIS SAME REASON. I ALSO HAVE A FEW PICTURES. THERE IS A PIC JUST SHOWING THE UNDERSIDE, WHICH FOR THE MOST PART IS IN GOOD SHAPE, A LITTLE SURFACE RUST, NO THROUGH ROT. NOW THE FRAME PICS, ANOTHER STORY. THESE TRUCKS ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AS TO WHERE THE BOLTS HOLDING IT IN PLACE ROT OUT AND NOW YOU HAVE A NOISY EXHAUST LEAK TRUCK THAT HAS TO HAVE ITS MOTOR TAKEN OUT TO HAVE THAT REPAIRED,

MAIN FRAME ROT LEFT REAR RUSTING RIGHT FRONT STARTING

WHILE DRIVING, MY F150 WITHOUT WARNING, DIED 3 TIMES IN 1/2 MILE. LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS. NEARLY HAD A ACCIDENT. HAD 1/2 TANK OF GAS. NEW BATTERY. IT DID NOT GIVE A CODE. I DID GET IT STARTED EACH TIME AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. NOW I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.

PAINT ON THE ROOF AND BACK OF THE CAB IS FLAKING OFF.

TRUCK WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO FRAME RUST ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK.

HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK BOUGHT NEW, 2005. HAVE USED SPARINGLY ONLY 15K + MILES. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE EXPERIANCED A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WHEN IT TRIED TO ACCELLERATE WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE. FIRST THOUGHT IT A QUIRK OR FLOOR MATS. RECENTLY NEARLY TRASHED A PARKED CAR WHILE BACKING ITO A PARKING SPACE. CONTINUED TO ACCELLERATE DISPITE STANDING ON BRAKE. THERE IS NO LONGER ANY DOUBT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SUA, SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELLERATION, THAT FORD HAS NEVER ADMITTED. I HAVE MADE SURE I AM OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE FLOOR MAT HAS BEEN REMOVED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE!

PREMATURE FRAME CORROSION AND RUST FAILURE, DURING RECENT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE FRAME ON THE REAR HALF OF MY 2005 FORD F-150 HAD RUSTED UNDER THE BED AND REAR WHEEL WELLS TO THE POINT OF FAILURE WHERE THE FRAME WOULD NO LONGER SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE ON HIS LIFT. RUST THRU HOLES AND LONGITUDINAL CRACKS HAD FORMED ON THE BOTTOM AND SIDE FRAME SURFACES AT THE STRESS POINT BEFORE THE REAR WHEEL BEND. THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY UNUSUAL BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN GENERALLY BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND MAINTAINED IN GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION. THE EXTERIOR BODY ONLY EXHIBITS LIGHT SPOTS OF SURFACE RUST ON THE VISIBLE BODY PANELS. PROVIDING NO HINTS OF THE DEGRADATION OCCURRING BELOW. MY MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME THAT CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE FRAME STRUCTURE WAS IMMINENT AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. WHICH IN ITSELF IS CONCERNING IN THAT I HAD BEEN TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE VEHICLE'S DETERIORATING CONDITION. HAD I NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE I WOULD LIKELY CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL ONE DAY BEING TOTALLY SURPRISED WHEN THE BACK HALF OF MY TRUCK SEPARATED FROM THE FRONT.

ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE
