ODI opened this investigation based on reports of inadvertent airbag deployment.Data provided by Ford indicated that the airbag clockspring jumper wire, which is situated inside the steering wheel assembly, was installed in a manner that would allow it to rub (abrade) against a sharp metal edge on the nearby horn plate.Because the horn plate is electrically grounded the abrasion of an airbag wire on the sharp edge could cause a short circuit condition.As a result the airbag light may illuminate and/or the airbag may inadvertently deploy.Inadvertent deployments are most likely to occur during …

Around the 1st of February 2026 the weather had turned cold around 6 degrees Fahrenheit and I had just had my vehicle inspected in January so I know everything was fine then. My wife and I had driven to her office about 2 miles from our home and I of course had the heat on and defrost on. We went into the office to clean because that a weekly job for us usually under an hour. When we came out my windshield was cracked on the passenger side starting at the bottom going straight up about 8” long. The weather stayed cold and a few days later it cracked more and then more and then more. It’s moving over towards the drivers side horizontally about eye level. There is no rock strike where the crack started, it seems to me that when heat was applied to the windshield something expanded or contracted or flexed while we were inside the office because it was cracked when we came out to leave. I haven’t taken it to a Ford dealership to have it looked at or filed an insurance claim. It’s been about two months now I need to get it fixed before the whole windshield collapses into my lap. I realize the safety issue with a cracked windshield and it could cause me and others on the road to get hurt. I’ve only driven it to doctors appointments and to pick up medication at the store a mile away. I’ve never had a vehicle that has had the windshield crack due to clod weather when it was heated up and then cooled back down. Either the glass was manufactured incorrectly or it was installed incorrec

I WAS RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE. IT WAS A HEAD ON COLLISION AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY.

THE LIBABLE INSURANCE COMPANY ENCOURAGED ME TO CONTACT FORD TO SEE IT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. THERE WERE NOT WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.

It blown 1 engine and I have replaced the transmissions, taken it to a Ford dealership and they weren't able to help me. I've replaced the ECM and anti-theft modal also and the symptoms still persist. i am i in for over 11K for the new engine and transmission, and another $100 on the ECM and anti-theft modal plus the shop charges.

The door latch on the back suicide opening doors on my F150 stopped working. We had a passenger in the back seat but when they tried to get out the door would not open. The latch had stopped working. Though they were able to get out through the other side, this is a very dangerous situation. Where we in an accident with the possibility of fire or the door would not open for the fire and rescue squad it could have been life threatening. Soon after this incident the other side did the same thing. Now both door latches do not work. How much worse would that have been if an accident would have happened and both doors stopped working. I cannot find a better example of poor safety design and safety threat than this situation. From what I can find there is no recall for the door latch failure on the Ford trucks with the suicide doors on the Ford cabs. The truck is still in this state because we cannot afford to get it fixed and yes it is available for inspection. I described above just how the safety of my passengers were put at risk. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, but the problem is well known, all you have to do is search the internet for this door lock failure Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? NO, the failure happened all of a sudden and without warning. The same failure happened a few weeks later on the opposite side door latch

5:30 pm 4/12/21 was driving home from umpiring a baseball game, drove threw intersection when suddenly I was thrown into passenger seat of my truck, the next thing I know im stopped in front of a tree with a telephone pole on the hood of my truck with no idea what or how this happened. I was lucky no one was coming the opposite direction on the 2 lane road cause I wouldn't have been able to control truck even at 40mph, another 5min and I would have been on the interstate going 65mph and surely I'd be dead. After a week I was able to go out and look at my truck thats when I noticed the flat front passenger tire was flat and the inner ring of the rim came off. I had an accident investigator look at it , I hired a lawyer and a metallurgical expert to examine rim. There was no warning the rims were still new.

THE VEHICLE THAT IS TALKED ABOUT IN THIS IS A 2006 FORD F-150 THAT RECENTLY WENT IN FOR AN ANNUAL NYS SAFETY INSPECTION AND FAILED DUE TO AN EXCESSIVELY RUSTED FRAME THAT RESULTED IN CRACKS ON BOTH FRAME RAILS. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY ~50,000 MILES AND IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG THE FRAME HAS ACTUALLY BEEN CRACKED AND STILL DRIVEN.

I STARTED HEARING A LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER MY TRUCK AND NOTICED BOTH SPRINGS WERE BROKE IN HALF, ONLY THE MIDDLE LEAF...WOW

Random brake loss due to hydraulic control unit for ABS. The loss of brakes on more than 5 occasions has nearly caused several accidents as brakes fail to engage in traffic situations. The problem cannot be reproduced by automotive repair shops due to the random nature of the events. Inspection of the component does not reveal any problem. The component functions properly 80% of the time. There has never been any warning of any sort prior to the event happening which is why the severity of the incidents are not only surprising but have put me and other drivers at risk. These HCU components have had similar failures in other ford vehicles. Recalls are listed for those vehicles such as the MZk, Fusion, Millan.

My truck was sounding like it was going to fall apart, I brought it to my sons attention and u can see the truck sagging between front and bed of truck. We looked under vehicle and the frame is split in two all the way across. [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Main truck frame is rusting through-presently the left frame rail just behind the left door is failing. The overall condition of truck is good, no body panel rust through(s)-note that I live in Northern Michigan. At this point I wouldn't lift with a floor hoist or heavy load the box with materials. A check of the web shows many of the same complaints........2006 Ford F150, I can provide pics if need or you can actually inspect.

The shift cable for the automatic transmission was routed next to the exhaust manifold on the engine. The shift cable gets hot and burns into from the heat off the exhaust manifold. I purchased the 2006 Ford F150 used. I had mechanic replace one shift cable with a new shift cable. The new shift cable burned into has I was backing in my driveway. I did research on the internet for trucks in that year range and it included other trucks 2007 and 2008 F150 having the same issue. You can find a ton of utube videos . ShowIng mechanics finding solutions to prevent the shift cables from burning into. I contacted Ford motor company about it. Ford wanted me to take the truck to a dealership and let them diagnosed the problem. The dealership wanted me to pay them a 150 dollars to look at it. I was not going to pay them for something that I already knew the answer too. So it is a manufacturing flaw with the way Ford put the shift cable on 2006 F150 and other F150's in that year range. I hope you research the issue and get back to me soon. Sincerely Yours [XXX] Ph [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

There is a very common problem with the brake light always being on due to a short circuit in the cluster, many owners have reported this problem for several manufacturing years, the brake light is always on even though there is no problem with the brakes. This creates a great hazard because if you do have a brake problem since the light is always on you will never know, and you may be in a fatal vehicle accident. Ford motor company should replace or repair all clusters that have this problem.I just purchased this vehicle with this very common problem. Your inspector can google it and will find this is indeed a very common problem.

HAVE A NICE FORD F250 2006 TRUCK WHICK OUR MECHANIC TELLS US TGE FRAME US BROKEN DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUSTING, THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FLOOD, NEVER BEEN USED UP NORTH IN EXCESSIVE SNOW AND SALT. THE TRUCK HAS 90,000 MILES AND NIW IS JUST JUNK. IN TESEARCHING THIS, FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL, SO NANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR, IT IS TIME FORD STEPS UP AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH BASICALLY CAUSES THE TRUCK TO BE IN DRIVABLE DUE TO SAFETY, AND CAUSES IT TO ACTUALLY JUST VE A VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK FOR THE JUNK YARD! THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. WHAT KIND OF RECOURSE DO WE AS OWNERS HAVE??? PLEASE HELP

I BROUGHT MY 2006 F150 IN FOR SERVICE THE OTHER DAY, AND MY MECHANIC POINTED OUT A RUST HOLE ON MY FRAME THAT SHOWED UP. AFTER I SCRAPED SOME OF THE SURFACE RUST OFF, I FOUND THAT A LARGE PORTION OF MY DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL HAD SIGNIFICANT ROT SPREADING. MY TRUCK HAD JUST BARELY ABOVE 90,000 MILES ON IT, WITH NO OTHER RUST ON ANY OF THE BODY PANELS. I DRIVE A COMPANY VEHICLE DURING THE WEEK, AND MY TRUCK BARELY GETS DRIVEN ALL YEAR. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE FRAMES ON THESE MID 2000'S F150'S ARE VERY PRONE TO ROT DUE TO THE LACK OF WEEP HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME. CORROSIVE ELEMENTS GET INSIDE, THEN HAVE NO WAY OUT OF THE FRAMES INTERIOR. WITH THIS POORLY DESIGNED DETAIL ON THE FRAME, CONSUMERS ARE LEFT WITH NEXT TO NO CHOICE BUT ANXIOUSLY WAIT FOR THE PREMATURE DECAY OF THE MOST CRUTIAL ELEMENT OF THEIR VEHICLE. AT THIS RATE, JUNK YARDS ARE GOING TO FILLED WITH LOW MILAGE FORD TRUCKS THAT RUSTED OUT BEFORE THEIR PRIME. FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR POOR STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING. CONSUMERS BUY A FORD TRUCK FOR THEIR "FORD TOUGH" REPUTATION, NOT FOR THE INADEQUATELY BUILT TRUCKS THAT THEY SOLD UNDER THAT "FORD TOUGH" GUISE AND NOW REFUSE TO STAND BEHIND. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF INCIDENTS I'VE READ ABOUT, ALL OF WHICH ARE CENTRAL TO THE MID 2000'S F150. HOW CAN A PROBLEM THIS PUBLIC GO UNADDRESSED? HOW MANY UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE ARE DRIVING A RUSTED DEATHTRAP AT THIS MOMENT, BUT WOULD NEVER SUSPECT A THING DUE TO LOW MILES AND

IT WAS HARD TO STOP

WE BOUGHT OUR 2006 F150 IN 2015, THINKING WE'D HAVE IT FOR YEARS TO COME. BY 2017, TWO SEPARATE MECHANICS HAD TOLD US THAT THERE WAS 'CATASTROPHIC CORROSION' TO THE FRAME. BOTH RECOMMENDED THAT WE HAVE A NEW FRAME FABRICATED. ONE OF THEM FOUND OUT THAT EARLIER F150S WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF A BAD FRAME COATING THAT CAUSED IRREPARABLE RUST. HE BELIEVES THE '06 SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL. THIS CAR WAS ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT TILL WE GOT IT, AND HAD NEVER BEEN FLOODED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT FORD REFUSES TO ACT. WE ENDED UP WITH A $12000 YARD ORNAMENT, AND CAN'T EVEN SELL IT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO DEAL WITH REFABRICATING THE FRAME. WE WERE TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK, AS THE FRAME COULD BASICALLY BUCKLE AT ANY TIME. RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN INVESTIGATED. I FEAR THE MORE TIME THAT PASSES, THE LESS LIKELY IT WILL BE THAT AN INVESTIGATION TAKES PLACE.

MY 2006 FORD F 150 HAS 125,000 MILES. I WENT TO PUT MY TRUCK IN REVERSE TO BACK UP OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT MADE A NOISE. APPARENTLY REVERS BAND IN THE TRANSMISSION WENT. I NO LONGER CAN PUT MY VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO BACK UP. VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND IT BROKE FOR NO REASON.

MY 2006 F150 FORD LARIAT. IT STARTED WITH THE FRONT MAP LIGHT ARE SOME LIGHT NOT SURE WHAT IT'S CALLED. IT WOULD COME ON BY ITSELF JUST SITTING STILL WITH ENGINE OFF. AND NO ONE IN THE TRUCK. IT WOULD DO THIS ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT. THEN THE DOOR JAR LIGHT CAME ON GOING DOWN THE HWY. AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. WE STOP TO CHECK ALL DOES AND THEY ALL WAS SHUT. IT STAYS ON AND WANT GO OFF. THEN WITH ALL THAT GOING ON ALL MY POWER WINDOWS STOP WORKING. THEY WAS WORKING FINE BUT WHEN THE DIME LIGHT PROBLEM. AND THE DOOR A JAR LIGHT ON WHEN YOU GET IN THE TRUCK AND TURN KEY ON. I HAVE TALK TO PEOPLE THAT OWN A FORD AND MOST ALL FORD'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE GOOGLED THESE PROBLEMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. BUT IT HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALL ON THESE PROBLEMS. IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS ON FORD'S. IT'S A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED THIS 78,400 MILE VEHICLE FROM AN INTERNET SALE IN SEPT/OCT. 2019, WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF DELIVERY, WHILE TAKING IT AROUND FOR MAINTENANCE APPRAISALS (BRAKES, ETC.), ONE OF THE SHOPS WARNED ME OF MAJOR FRAME RUST. A VISUAL INSPECTION SHORTLY THEREAFTER SHOWED THE MAIN FRAME MEMBERS WERE RUSTED THROUGH AND PARTIALLY COLLAPSED FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK WHILE BEING LIFTED ON A RACK.

THE STEERING LOWER SHAFT GETS FAULTY IN THIS YEARS TRUCK DO TO BEING CHEAP MADE AND GETS CORRODED WIN SALT FROM THE ROADS BARELY TOUCHES IT WHEN DRIVING YOU HAVE TO TURN EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE IT STEER AND IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH FOR IT TO BRAKE WHEN GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY ONE OF THE MOST IN SAFE DESIGNS I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A NEWER TRUCK THAN 2000 THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM THE EXACT SAME DESIGN IN THE CROWN VICS FROM 2004 TO 2008 MINE BROKE WHEN GOING DOWN THE CITY ROAD GOING ABOUT 45MPH

FORDF150 TRUCK. BACK DOORS WILL NOT OPEN.

THE REAR OF THE FRAME HAS NEARLY COMPLETELY BROKEN THROUGH BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME CAUSING THE BED OF THE VEHICLE TO CONTACT THE REAR CAB OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH SIDES ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE COULD COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE FRONT END. I STARTED NOTICING A TAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE ON FEB 5, 2020, WHICH WAS ABOUT A WEEK AGO. AFTER RESEARCHING THE NOISE I NOTICED THAT THE TOP OF THE BED WAS TOUCHING THE CAB WHILE THE BOTTOM OF THE BED WAS ABOUT 4-5 INCHES FROM THE CAB. AFTER INSPECTING THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK AT THE REAR, I SAW THAT THE FRAME WAS NEARLY COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES.
