| Out of the blue the truck just starts shaking, never know when or where. i have to pull off road and shut it off ,wait a bit, then start and leave and seems to be ok till next time. it has 37,800 miles . last time on i-94 at 65mph it scared me to death it started shaking so bad . i also had a 2005 f150 that did this. its not the tires, or engine but i think the drivetrain . very bad safety issue as i am finding i am not alone with this problem. someone needs to make ford admit what this is and fix these trucks. *tr | |||

| Defective b. f goodrich long trail ta tires (265r60 18) ford f150 lariat appear to have a design defect causing a very harsh ride & shuddering upon stopping. when attempting to stop in the rain, the shuddering caused the anti lock brake module to malfunction and resulted in loss of control of the vehicle. ford is aware of the tire defect (a letter was received) yet has declined to replace the tires. *nm | |||

| While attempting to accelerate onto a highway my vehicle sputtered and i was unable to get up to speed in a reasonable amount of time. fortunately i was on a 4 lane highway and the approaching vehicles were able to avoid me by pulling into the passing lane. i brought my vehicle in for service and a corroded fuel pump control module was responsible for the hesitation. according to my mechanic, he categorized the problem as defective design. the module is mounted in a area susceptible to corrosion. this is a relatively easy fix however in my case the spare tire carrier had to cut off to access the module. *tr | |||

| On the ford f-150 trucks mine is a 2004 the spare tires are mounted with the air filler valve mounted on the top side. you can not get at the air valve to check tire pressure. the only way is to remove jack handle from rear seating area and follow the procedures to lower the tire. well that is not going to happen so when you need the spare usually in an emergency situation the tire could be under inflated or perhaps flat. i have tried to contact ford and the will not respond to my complaint. please can you help me and thousands of others many who are not even aware of this. the selling dealers service manager was not aware of this until i questioned them. i also have a 2005 ford escape and the spare is mounted with air valve down so checking air is not an issue. i believe that if it is do able on chevrolet, dodges and others ford can make it right . regards dave emmons. *nm | |||
