#502 of 551 New 08 F150 catches fire by itself by 08f150fire Oct 07, 2008 (8:36 pm)
traded 01 F150 supercrew lariat 4X4 for new 08 F150 supercrew lariat 4X4 in late July 2008. On Aug 25, 2008 drove to work and parked. 30 minutes later was called by co-workers and told my new truck was on fire. Went to parking lot and they said flames were coming up inside windshield. Fire department arrived, I unlocked doors and found the dash burned and whole inside of cab charred and smoked. Ford said fire is not a warranty issue. Dealer and I argued that a defect caused the fire and it is a warranty issue. Insurance had to investigate and found Auxillary Power plug-in on dash to be defective and caused fire. Sent report to Ford saying it was a defect. Ford is dragging their feet still. Don't want to admit it was a defect. Ford has not even gone to dealer lot to look at truck. Truck has been at dealer in the as burned state for well over a month. Dealer can't believe Ford will not respond, they have tried everything and I have complained to all the regional reps but to no avail so far. Looks like I may have to hire a lawyer and go through Lemon Law at this point.   If anyone has an 08 or similar model with power plug under the dash air vent to the right of the radio, get it to a dealer and have it double checked. My truck is at Dealer lot in Willard, Ohio. Still burned up and making payments. Loyalty will get you no where with Ford. They used to make a good truck, and if they had taken care of this issue right away like they should have, I may have still been a loyal customer. Defects can happen.....Customer satisfaction is what is lacking in this case! Replies to this message: aspesisteve (Nov 10, 2008 2:42 pm)

#505 of 551 2004 f-150 bucks or surges by bob237 Nov 01, 2008 (6:00 am)
When starting out my truck seems to buck with light accelerator pressure also when going about 25 to 30mph and holding steady pressure it will buck.sometime when backing up it will buck hard.This does not happen all the time and does not trip the engine soon light.   I have had it to the ford dealer 5 times and they can't find the problem and does not show on the memory.

Replying to: bob237 (Nov 01, 2008 6:00 am) Sounds like a fualty TPS sensor. You need a graphing meter to test it accurately. Try unplugging it and see if the symptom goes away. This will turn your check engine light on. But it will force the PCM to guess at trottle position instead of using a possible intermitant bad signal.   TPS Throttle Position Sensor Replies to this message: bob237 (Nov 01, 2008 6:32 pm) bob237 (Nov 03, 2008 4:43 pm)

Replying to: mickeymouse2 (Nov 01, 2008 5:46 pm) Thank you very much I will take the truck back to the dealer and will let you know how I made out.They have been trying for a year and a half and couldn't find anything because the engine light didn't come on and memory didn't show anything.

Replying to: bob237 (Nov 01, 2008 6:32 pm) Hi,   I took my truck to the dealer with the information you gave me about the TPS sensor. They told me they wouldn't do anything untill the engine light came on.I guess I will have to wait .   Thank you again                            Bob

Replying to: 08f150fire (Oct 07, 2008 8:36 pm) unbelievable   in this day and age of big losses and the money running out, i'm guessing Ford has layed off all but one person who can look at your truck. And he probably gets a bonus for pushing back a certain percentage of problems on the buyers back.   nice going ford

#511 of 551 Tire pressure monitor by regnar Nov 26, 2008 (5:42 am)
I own a 07 F150 FX2 with 5.4. Just put on winter tires with steel rims and now the air pressure light stays on because these rims don't have the sending unit which are still in the stock rims. Any way of shutting the dash warning light off?
