What owners wrote

I purchased a 2006 f-150 on july 6, 2006 with 9,177 miles on it. On july 10, 2006 I allowed my 24-year-old son to take the truck 700 feet to his mobile home to take a washer and dryer from my home to his. He was within 3 feet of the porch of the mobile home with the truck in four wheel drive in reverse when the gas pedal stuck and knocked his mobile home about 3 feet off the foundation. He had just let off the brake a little to ease back. The truck and mobile home seem to be totaled.

Reported at 9,500 miles, July 2006 CrashInjury

Upon attempting to start my 2006 ford f150 super crew cab vehicle (5.4l), the engine will attempt to crank over but will not turn on. Upon further diagnosis, it was determined that the fuel pump module is not working. It became completely rusty and exhibits holes throughout the surface of the module. This appears to be an extremely common problem that ford is very well aware of and has not addressed the problem.
