| The driver's side window regulator on my 2006 ford f150 has broken three times, i was able to get two replaced under warranty, but the third time happened this last month, i am replacing it today. i believe from my experience, and from thousands of forum entries citing the same thing, that ford should recall this part. this part is going to cost me approximately $400.00 to repair. | |||

| The passenger assist handle attached to the a pillar on the passenger side of the vehicle failed at both connection points to the a pillar while my wife was entering the vehicle. my wife was standing on the running board at the time of the failure of the assist handle, the handle completely separated from the vehicle and she fell off the running board with the handle in her hand, landing on her back against a curb in the parking lot. this is the third failure of this part since this vehicle was purchased new on 10/06/2006. the first failure occurred within the first 12 months of ownership. the second failure happened within the first 36 months of ownership. after each incident, ford replaced the defective part with an identical part. the first two incidents did not result in injury to my passenger. fortunately, my wife was not seriously injured in the recent event. | |||

| What a shocker, i go to the ford dealer for the 100k tune up for my f-150 king ranch original cost $450. almost two weeks later, truck still isn't finished cost is at $3, 500 still can go. they don't know yet until their finished putting everything back together. 7 of the 8 plugs broke, two would not come out. finally, they got one of the two out. the one is seized up pretty good. the had to take the head off and waiting on the outcome. i'm up in arms on what to do. i don't have an extra $3, 000 laying around to pay for this plus the price can still go up. how can they not tell you this up front and keep padding the price and not knowing what its going to cost until you pick your vehicle up. please contact me, i would like to file a suit against ford but need assistance. i talked to someone from fords front office about this issue. they are well aware of this matter. all they say is that its not under warranty and my vehicle is over the 100k max. come to find out, no matter what warranty you have, this particular issue has no warranty to begin with. all they would do is offer me the x plan on a new vehicle. now, why would i want to buy a new vehicle. i've been raised on ford vehicles my entire life. i must say this will be my last ford truck for sure. a friend of mine has a toyota truck and has over 200k miles. never has had a issue with anything. please advise on what to do, this needs to stop and ford needs to do something about this. but i have a feeling they won't or they would of done it already. | |||

| My 2006 ford f-150 had a sprak plug broke off and now the only way to fix this is to remove the head approx 3000.00 to correct. ford says they are aware of the problem but they refuse to do anything about it. the vehicle only has 45,000 miles and the truck is now non driveable. whay aren't they being held accountable for something when they know it is a problem with this style vehicle. | |||
