2006 Ford F-150 Fuel system Problems

“The engine bucks,misses and doesn't come up to speed. There is no advanced warning as when this will happen, thus making pulling out into traffic a hazard! The garage where I had the problem fixed was surprised to hear my description of my trouble. They had a f150 in the week before with the same issue!! This gentleman's truck actually shut off in traffic,so I consider myself lucky!”

“I had an injector stick open on my 2006 f150 and it caused the engine to hydrolock and seized up the engine. My complaint is that the 2005 f150 had an extension on the warranty due to this problem. I heard that some of the early 2006's (which were made it 2005) has also had theses problems but Ford did not extend the warranty on the 2006.”

“Filed previous complaint about my truck. It now blows black smoke when it cranks. It is a good indication that it receiving a rich mixture of gas. This needs to be researched. I know it ties in with the mass air flow sensor, but Ford indicates everything is normal although I am seeing black smoke now when I crank up my truck.”

“2006 F-150 lost all power function while traveling down the interstate. I lost power steering and brakes. The cause is a corrosive fuel pump control module. After taking with my local Ford dealer I was made aware that this is major safety issue and one that fmc refuses to recognize. This incident could have resulted in a major accident. I was lucky enough to be able to signal to the cars around me that I was having trouble - however I was still almost rear ended twice before being able to pull off to the side of the road.”

“Ford f150 xlt 2006 should have a mandatory safety recall for the fuel control module. This is clearly a design defect and a major safety concern. I was driving down vt116 (a hilly, winding 2 lane country highway with no shoulder) in the rain at about 40mph when my truck started to buck and lose power. There was no place to pull over, so I put my hazards on and tried to limp it to a safe place to pull over. The engine stalled and I lost steering and braking power on a curve. I applied the brakes manually and wrestled the steering wheel (which no longer had any power assist). …”
