2006 Ford F-150 Engine Problems

“At 9:20 monday morning 6/25/18 my 2006 F-150 had been sitting stationary, unoccupied and turned off for 3 and half hours. I was waken up by my wife telling me my truck was on fire. The fire had breached through the hood and contained to the engine compartment. I had no prior trouble to the operation of my truck that would indicate a problem. The fire destroyed entire front of truck.”

“Took truck in for routine 100,000 maintenance and tune up. Spark plug stuck in the cylinder head and ended up getting charged $3,500 for the repair. I am reading online of how widespread this problem is and Ford should recall these spark plugs and take care of their customers. I will never purchase another Ford in my lifetime if they don't do something about this.”

“On 3 occasions my vehicle ,over 4 months, has had a complete engine failure. This occurred most recently while I was exiting the interstate .when the engine shuts down so does the dash and brake lights, it also stops power steering and brakes. This time by reacting quickly I was able to put the vehicle in neutral and restart ,after turning key to off position first.”

“When stopped at a red light my engine began to rev. At very high RPM's and the tires burned out when I shifted the transmission into neutral. I purchased this truck in dec. 2013 and this was approx. The 7th incident of sudden acceleration. It seems to only happen when stooped or slowing down. Any help in this matter would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.”

“I was driving on the road when the engine failsafe warning' light came on. The entire engine shut down. No power at all. Very hard to stop and steer. I nearly got into an accident. Another time I was entering parking lot when it happened. I had the throttle body replaced to fix the problem. But shutting off the engine on a warning while driving is very dangerous. Some internet research indicates this is not a lone occurrence.”
