    Faulty ignition switch on highway

    I had the same issue with my ignition switch. Although I never had the truck shut off on me, my interior lights kept coming on while driving, at what seemed to be completely random times. Originally I thought it was the door not closing properly. After months of dealing with the lights and no...

    Another Wheel Bearing

    Just chiming in and wish I had more to offer, other than the reassurance that you're not the only one... I had mine replaced 3 times on each side by my local dealership (around 9 months apart, currently just under 90k miles). Now that I'm out of warranty, and both sides have gone out on me...

    Looking for Replacement Wheel Bearing Advise...

    I was wondering if anyone on the site has advise for me, regarding my wheel bearings. I am up for my 3rd replacement (yes, both front sides have failed 3 times on me now), with less than 80k miles on the truck! The first 2 replacements were diagnosed by the dealer and covered under my...

    No Audio

    When replacing my shifter knob, I had to remove the entire center console. I found out real quickly that without the center console, the radio lit up like normal, but I had no audio... Once I reconnected the wiring harnesses, the audio returned. I do have sync, and the usb and aux ports...

    My dome light comes on randomly...any suggestions?

    Glad you found my original reply to this issue! After I changed out my ignition switch, I've been free and clear of this issue for over a year and a half.... As mentioned, a good test would be to jiggle, press and/or slightly turn the key when the symptom occurs

    Interior rear water leak! Strange! Help!

    As mentioned, this is a widely experienced issue and most have found the 3rd brake light to be the culprit. Here's my reply to another member and if you click the wrench next to my name, there is a project for the removal/replacement of the 3rd light housing... "I used GOOP (silicon based glue)...

    Sylvania ultra headlights

    I'v had the Ultras in my 2008 STA headlights for 4 years now. I finally had one of the bulbs go out, so I opted for the zXe bulbs. They are a little brighter, but the main difference I noticed was the clarity of the light emitted. They are VERY white with a hint of blue.... perfect, IMO. I...

    More Wheel Bearings

    Within the first 3 years of owning my 2008, I had the front bearings go out twice on the driver's side and twice on the passenger's side. It's been about a year and a half now and I haven't had any more issues. I don't have a remedy or solution, but I thought I'd share that I experienced the...

    Bad Front wheel bearing.

    Within the first 3 years of owning my truck, I had the bearings replaced on 4 separate occasions.... twice on each of the fronts.... They were all covered under the original warranty, but if I have to do it again, I'm definitely going with something aftermarket and not what Ford uses!

    3rd brake light leak

    The two screws have a small (tiny) rubber o-ring. I experienced the leak when I swapped out the light and destroyed the o-rings. I put a small amount of silicon glue in the holes and let it dry before I reset the screws. If I had to do it again, I'd reset the screws first, then put the...
