| AIR BAGS | |||

| I was driving on the highway when all of my gauges went dead including the speedometer, a couple of minutes later they came back on and when they did the airbag warning light started blinking rapidly. a few moments later the gauges went dead again, when they came back on the second time the airbag warning light started blinking rapidly and erratically. since that time my gauges have failed 3 more times with the same behavior from the airbag warning light. i did some research online and found that even though ford has not recalled this problem it has been experienced by hundreds of 2006 ford f150 owners. | |||

| Seat belt tensioner on vehicle goes bad and airbag light will come on intermediantly and stay on while driving. per ford motor company air bag might or might not deploy in accident which puts my life endanger. | |||

| Spark plugs are engineered counter sunk in holes in top of the heads, when the plugs are unscrewed the bottom of the plug more often than not breaks off inside the spark plug hole. this requires very expensive tools and a skilled mechanic to extract. i feel the part was engineered to fail to force the price of repairs up. leading up to this when the plugs begin to fail the engine will fail without warning and without the engine needs service light ever coming on. when this happens and their is no place to pull over you hope your not ran into by oncoming traffic. | |||
