NHTSA complaint: 2006 FORD F-150 — FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
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. MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 7/12/2006 AND HE SAID HE WAS NOT GOING TO DO A D*** THING ABOUT IT AND THREATENED TO CALL THE POLICE. I TOLD HIM THE MANUAL SAID TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. ASKED IF I SHOULD CALL FORD MOTOR COMPANY. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE AND HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL ME. WE PAID CASH FOR THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO A SECURE LOT UNTIL FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I ASKED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO INVESTIGATE. WE PURCHASED THE PREMIUMCARE EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN. IF NOTHING ELSE, IT SHOULD HAVE FELL UNDER THE IMPLIED WARRANTY. *NM
