2006 Ford F-150 electrical system problems

“Odometer Fraud. The contact sold a 2006 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle was sold with approximately 212,000 miles but later discovered that the buyer had relisted the vehicle for sale with an advertised mileage of 135,713. The vehicle was a private sale. Local authorities had been notified.”

“while in drive, accelerating to highway speeds or cruising around 30 mph it will downshift and jump to about 4000 PMS's and not shift up into 3rd gear. It blown 1 engine and I have replaced the transmissions, taken it to a Ford dealership and they weren't able to help me. I've replaced the ECM and anti-theft modal also and the symptoms still persist. i am i in for over 11K for the new engine and transmission, and another $100 on the ECM and anti-theft modal plus the shop charges. The truck has under 190,000 miles before any of this started. I am the 2nd owner an had for less than 3k miles before any of the problems started. Now I see the 2015-2017 F-150s are having the same problems getting recalled. is there anything involving the earlier Triton's engines?”

“There is a very common problem with the brake light always being on due to a short circuit in the cluster, many owners have reported this problem for several manufacturing years, the brake light is always on even though there is no problem with the brakes. This creates a great hazard because if you do have a brake problem since the light is always on you will never know, and you may be in a fatal vehicle accident. Ford motor company should replace or repair all clusters that have this problem.I just purchased this vehicle with this very common problem. Your inspector can google it and will find this is indeed a very common problem.”

“MY 2006 F150 FORD LARIAT. IT STARTED WITH THE FRONT MAP LIGHT ARE SOME LIGHT NOT SURE WHAT IT'S CALLED. IT WOULD COME ON BY ITSELF JUST SITTING STILL WITH ENGINE OFF. AND NO ONE IN THE TRUCK. IT WOULD DO THIS ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT. THEN THE DOOR JAR LIGHT CAME ON GOING DOWN THE HWY. AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. WE STOP TO CHECK ALL DOES AND THEY ALL WAS SHUT. IT STAYS ON AND WANT GO OFF. THEN WITH ALL THAT GOING ON ALL MY POWER WINDOWS STOP WORKING. THEY WAS WORKING FINE BUT WHEN THE DIME LIGHT PROBLEM. AND THE DOOR A JAR LIGHT ON WHEN YOU GET IN THE TRUCK AND TURN KEY ON. I HAVE TALK TO PEOPLE THAT OWN A FORD AND MOST ALL FORD'S HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE GOOGLED THESE PROBLEMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. BUT IT HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALL ON THESE PROBLEMS. IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS ON FORD'S. IT'S A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.”

“FORD F-150 FX4 140,000.0 MILES. BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS STARTING AROUND 2010 WITH 76,000.0 MILES. THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED AND FLUSHED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. REPLACED BRAKE CABLE E-BRAKE SWITCH ETC... EVERYTHING POINTS TO THE CLUSTER AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE WEBSITES THE VERIFY THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT BEGINNING FROM 2004-2010. IN SOME STATES THIS IS AN INDPECTABLE ITEM ADDING ADDITIONAL AND MANDATORY REPAIRS TO BE MADE. THE CLUSTER REPAIR PART COST ANYWHERE FROM $400.00-$600.00 AND WITH LABOR COULD RUN WELL OVER $1000.00 PENDING ON THE MODEL OF THE F-150. MY BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS ISSUE HAS GONE WITHOUT A RECALL FROM FORD OR THE NHTSA.”
