2009 FORD F-150 — Complaint #793914
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS filed June 16, 2010
NHTSA complaint #793914 (ODI reference 10336676) concerns a 2009 FORD F-150 and was filed on June 16, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 15, 2010. The vehicle had 19,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to South Dakota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:pressure monitoring and regulating systems, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD F-150 cohort independently describe similar tires:pressure monitoring and regulating systems failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2009 FORD F-150 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I HAVE AN 09 F150. MY PROBLEM IS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). IT KEEPS INDICATING A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT. I TOOK IT TO ONE FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED 3 OF THE WHEEL SENSORS. I WENT ON A 1600 MILE TRIP AFTER THAT AND I CONTINUED TO GET TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE PREVIOUS FORD DEALER HAD INSTALLED THEM INCORRECTLY. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE ORIGINAL DEALER WE DETERMINED THAT THEY INSTALLED CORRECTLY. I WAS TOLD THAT FORD NOW SAYS THAT CERTAIN ELECTRONIC DEVICES LIKE CELL PHONES AND GPS'S MAY INTERFERE WITH THE SYSTEM. MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE PROBLEM WITH NO GPS OR CELL IN THE CAB. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON FORD'S TPMS SYSTEM I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE FORD STARTED USING IT. ON ALL MODELS WHETHER CAR OR TRUCK PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME "TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR FAULT" ERROR SHOW UP. I FEEL FORD SHOULD RECALL THERE ALL VEHICLES E
