UPON RECEIVING TUNE UP THE SPARK PLUGS BROKE APART.AFTER GETTING THEM OUT CYL#1 WOULD NOT HOLD SPARK PLUG,CAUSED ME TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO GET PROBLEM FIXED.BUT THE SHOPS WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE WORK THAT IS NEEDED.THEY ALL SAID IT WAS A FACTORY ISSUE.THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AS WELL.

FORD HAD A RECALL FOR BROKEN SPARK PLUGS & A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS VEHICLE. FORD HAS FAILED TO FULLY COMPENSATE US & TOLD ME HARDLY NO ONE WOULD RECEIVE COMPENSATION. WE REPLACED THE PLUGS WITH FORD APPROVED REVISED PLUGS AT FORD WITH @ 149K MILES ON 11/2015. THE ENGINE CODES OR PROBLEMS WOULD COME UP NOW AND AGAIN & WE HAD IT INTO VARIOUS VENDORS.. 2/ 2017, DRIVING BACK TO WYOMING I CAME UP AN I WAS UNDER LOAD (HAULING A TRAILER) AND THE AUTO ALMOST DID NOT MAKE IT HOME OR UP A GRADE. WE TOOK IT IN TO REPLACE THE COILS. THE VENDOR, MIDWAY MOTORS REPLACED THE COIL & NOTICED THE NEW REVISED FORD APPROVED SPARK PLUG 5 WAS BROKEN, AND PLUG 6 ALSO SHOWED A CODE, (MILEAGE 172627 MILES). THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED SO WE TRADED THE FORD IN FOR A DODGE. MY POINT FORD HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE & IS DECEIVING THE PUBLIC. AND 2ND LAWSUIT CLAIM FORM IS [XXX] . THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT IN LIKE NEW SHAPE PRISTINE. I WAS SAD I HAD TO TRADE IT IN BUT DID NOT FEEL SAFE. I THINK YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW FORD IS PRACTICING AND NOT HANDLING ETHICALLY, LEGALLY, OR PROPERLY; BOTH THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND ALSO THE (REVISED SPARK PLUGS ARE ALSO FAILING). YES I HAVE DETAILED DOCUMENTS!! ASK ME I CAN EMAIL YOU PDF [XXX] [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE ENGAGES AT VARIOUS AND UNPREDICTABLE SPEEDS AND AT ANY GIVEN TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SHOWS NO CODE AFTERWARDS. A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT I CAN FIND NO INDICATION THAT FORD HAS BEEN WILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. WHEN ASKED FOR THE DATE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I AM ENTERING THE DATE OF COMPLAINT BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. NO CODES DOES NOT MEAN THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ISSUES. FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE....RECALL AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

WHILE TAKING MY KIDS TO DAYCARE THE ENGINE FAIL SAFE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WAITING TO GO STRAIGHT UNDER A BRIDGE AND AT THIS PARTICULAR LIGHT ONLY ONE LANE CAN GO STRAIGHT SINCE THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND I COULD NOT MOVE THIS CAUSED MAJOR BACKUP. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE A FEW CARS BEHIND AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME THROUGH THE LIGHT AND INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING THERE THE TRUCK STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM TO DAYCARE AND CONTINUE ON TO WORK. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

MY VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS RUN AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A SONIC. I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED BACK UP. THE SECOND TIME WAS AT A GAS STATION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY BATTERY. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND MY VEHICLE DIED AGAIN THE NEXT DAY, BUT STARTED BACK UP ONE I LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS MORNING I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT AT WORK AND IT DIED. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IT STARTED BACK UP AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WENT TO LEAVE FOR LUNCH AND NOW MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE CAR SHUT OFF ON ME LIKE IT HAS DONE OTHER TIMES. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THE THOUGHT OF THEM IN THIS CAR DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE!!
