ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN 2011 UNDER WARRANTY AT 51,864 MILES. NOW AT 105,662 THIS ENGINE IS DOING THE SAME THING. THERE IS DEFIANTLY A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES. FORD NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND FIX THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR PRODUCT. IF YOUR ENGINE DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY, HOW CAN YOUR FORD BE - FORD TOUGH!
Suspension, Dec 22, 2015
THE COIL SPRING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT BROKE WHICH APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED RELIABILITY PROBLEM ON THE F150 TRUCKS. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS FAILURE ALWAYS HAPPENS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE SPRING BREAKAGE IS ALWAYS IN THE SAME SPOT. THE ID TAG ON THE PART WAS U 4L34 5310- BUT THE REST WAS NOT LEGIBLE.

THE THREADS IN MY 07 FORD F 150 FOR MY SPARK PLUG IN ONE OF MY CYLINDER'S WENT BAD. AND MY PLUG LEAKED HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSED HEATED EXHAUST. CAUSING MY IGNITION COIL TO PARTIALLY MELT. ITS RIGHT BELOW THE FUEL RAIL SENSOR TOO. ITS THE BIGGEST PAIN IN THE BUTT TO FIX. USED A HELICOIL. DIDN'T LAST TOO LONG. TRYING A MORE PERMANENT FIX NEXT. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 WHEN THE PLUG BEGAN A VERY NOTICEABLY LOUD RHYTHMIC LEAK WITH THE IGNITION OF THAT CYLINDER. ALSO, WHEN I SAW THE PROBLEM WHEN I LOOKED AT THE SPARK PLUG. IT HAD ALREADY HAD AN EXISTING HELICOIL PUT IN. AND YOU COULD TELL THIS HAPPEND WAY BEFORE 200K MILES. BECAUSE THE OLD SPARK PLUG WAS WORN ALMOST ALL THE WAY DOWN. I STILL HAVE THE OLD SPARK PLUG.

IN APRIL 2015 I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ENGINE KNOCKING ON MY 2007 FORD F-150 WHICH HAD 57,532 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ENDED UP SPENDING $3,080.79 TO REPLACE CAMSHAFT, SOLENOID, AND TIMING CHAINS. I WAS TOLD THIS WORK WAS GUARANTEED. NOW, LESS THAN 7 MONTHS LATER AT 61,452 MILES I BEGAN HEARING SQUEAKING AS I DRIVE. TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NOW THE HARMONIC BALANCER IS OUT AND EXCESSIVE CRANK SHAFT END PLAY. I AM TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE PRIOR REPAIR WORK SO I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $3,000 OR MORE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS IS ALL AFTER I SPENT OVER $300 IN DECEMBER 2014 TO REPLACE THE INGNITION COILS. I DRIVE MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. WE PICKED UP VEHICLE WITHOUT REPAIRING IT THIS TIME SO WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
Engine, Nov 4, 2015
VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO JERK AROUND 40-50 MPH. REVIEWS STATES THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS ARE THE ISSUES. WANTED TO CHANGE OUT SPARK PLUGS, BUT UNDERSTAND THE PLUGS BREAKS UPON REMOVAL AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. KNOW ISSUE BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. NOW I DON'T EVEN WANT TO ATTEMPT CHANGING OUT THE PLUGS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALL OR PAID BY FORD FOR REPLACEMENT, SINCE THIS ISSUE IS KNOW BY FORD. ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING, HELP, DON'T WANT TO PAY $1000 FOR A SIMPLY MAINTENANCE.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE AFTER BUYING IT NEW IN OCTOBER 2007, IN OCTOBER 2009 THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER STOPPED WORKING WAS REPAIRED AND AGAIN MONTHS LATER STOPPED WORKING. THE WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES WITH THREE OF THOSE BEING THIS YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE AND THE LAST TIME , ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS AGO I INSTRUCTED THE WORKER TO JUST LET THE WINDOWS UP AND DISCONNECT THEM AFTER BEING TOLD THAT I NEEDED A COMPLETE NEW WIRING HARNESS WHICH WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRING WAS BRITTLE AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F 150. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD POSE A DANGER IN AN EMERGENCY ESCAPE SITUATION AS WELL AS OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM ALSO INVOLVE THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEM WHICH IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD, I CAN GET NO REAL RESPONSE FROM FORD.
Engine, Oct 29, 2015
I'VE HAD THE SPARK PLUG BLOW OUT IN CYLINDER 6 TWICE WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55MPH. MY HUSBAND HAD HIS IN 2008 F150 ALSO. I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE PLUGS REPLACED 2X. JUST WAITING FOR THE FUEL MODULE AND STEERING TO GO AS NOTED IN OTHER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS.

Power train, Other or unspecified, Engine, Sep 9, 2015
THE FAILURES STEM FROM BAD OIL FLOW TO THE TOP END OF THE ENGINE DUE TO A FLAW IN DESIGN. SPECIFICALLY MY CAMSHAFT, CAM PHASER, TIMING COMPONENTS AND LIFTERS ROLLERS HAVE FAILED. THE PROBLEM FIRST SHOWED UP AT 42256 MILES AND HAS SINCE RESURFACED TWICE EVEN AFTER EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THE WORRISOME PART IS THAT THE WEB IS FILLED WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE WHICH IS ALSO IN EXPEDITIONS AND CROWN VICTORIAS AND PROBABLY OTHER FORD VEHICLES.

BOUGHT THE T07 F150 AT 28K AND AT 61K THIS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW GEAR 2ND THE ENGING CHUGGED A LITTLE ( LKE AN OLD DIESAL) TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE SMALL OIL SEAL BEHIND THE CAM. THEY WAS GOING TO CHARGE BE 5600 FOR A NEW ENGINE. THEY TRIED LIKE HE11 TO GET ME TO SAY I DIDNT HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. I NEVER BACKED DOWN, THEN REMINDED THEM THAT I HAD BOUGHT THE $2700.00 EXTENDED WARRENTY (WHICH I USUALLY NEVER DID) THEY BAUKED AND CRIED. BUY SAID THAT THEY WOULD FIND ANOTHER USED ENGINE, THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY FOUND ONE FOR 3500 (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) I BEGAN A LONG SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A REBUILD FOR LESS AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION. THEY DECIDED TO GO WITH THAT. THEY ORDERED THE ENGINE AND INSTALLED IT ( WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW THE REPLACEMENT HAD THE SAME PROB) THEY HAD TO PULL THAT ENGINE AND GET ANOTHER FROM THE COMPANY . TOOK AN EXTRA WEEK AND GOT THE TRUCK BACK ITS NOW AT 100K AND STILL RUNS WELL (SO I KNOW IT WASNT MY DRIVING) SO IT HAD TO BE THE INCORRECT PLACEMENT OF THAT SEAL FROM THE DEALER, WHICH WOULD LEAKED HOT OIL ONTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE A FIRE. I LOOKED AT THE ORIGIONAL PAPER WORK THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE TH ORIGIONAL WIRING HARNESS BEFORE IT EVEN LEFT THE FACTORY.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY A LOUD POP SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO MAKE THE BREAK-DOWN LANE. THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE #3 CYLINDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOTOR. 4.6L V8. THESE WERE FACTORY PLUGS AND THE VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED EVERY 3000-5000 MILES.

VEHICLE HAS STOPPED RUNNING GOING DOWN THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES. IT DOES THIS UNEXPECTEDLY, AND I LET IT COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND IT CRANKS UP. I DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. IT NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT IN TRAFFIC. I NEVER INTEND TO BUY ANOTHER FORD.

Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 1, 2015
UPON SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE STUTTERED AND STALLED. I COASTED TO A PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO RESTART. THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NO ATTEMPT TO START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES I STOPPED. UPON CHECKING INTERNET FOR PROBLEMS DISCOVERED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE RUSTING AND FAILING SUDDENLY. I CHECKED MODULE AND IT WAS RUSTED THROUGH. I REPLACED MODULE AND TRUCK NOW RUNS FINE. I NOTICED THAT THE MOUNTING BOLTS HAVE CHANGED ALLOWING SPACE BETWEEN MODULE AND CROSS MEMBER. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS AN ISSUE AS THE PART MOUNT HAS CHANGED. IF THIS SUDDEN FAILURE WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEED SERIOUS PROBLEMS MAY HAVE RESULTED. THIS IS A FORD ISSUE IN DESIGN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY FORD.

THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED IN 2012 WITH 53,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO IT COST ME NOTHING TO REPLACE. THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE THE SAME SOUND IN FEB 2015 (84,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, 30,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE). I HAD IT TAKEN TO AN AUTO MECH AND THEY TOLD ME ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS EJECTED FROM THE ENGINE AND RIPPED ALL THE THREADING OUT. THEY ALSO FOUND THAT ON E OF THE CYLINDERS BROKE OFF THE CRANK SHAFT AND CEASED. THE ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. BOTH THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACED THE ENGINE AND THE AUTO MECH THAT I HAD THE TRUCK TAKEN TO, ARE RESEARCHING IF THE PARTS ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

WENT TO HAVE TRUCK TUNED UP--MECHANIC WOULD NOT EVEN TOUCH SPARK PLUGS BECAUSE THEY BREAK OFF AND THE ENTIRE HEAD HAS TO BE REMOVED FOR REPAIR. TOLD US TUNE UP WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE AND IF THEY BROKE IT WOULD BE EVEN HIGH. FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD IF SPARK PLUG IS BAD IT CAN RESULT IN FAILURE OF CATALYTIC CONVERT AND RESULT IN A CAR FIRE. WILL IT TAKE A DEATH BEFORE FORD DOES A RECALL HOW DO CONSUMERS MAINTAIN A VEHICLE WHEN AND AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WILL NOT DO THE WORK. *TR

POWER WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING ENTIRELY. AT ALL SWITCHES. NO POWER TO THEM. WIRES IN DOOR JAM FOR POWER WINDOWS RUBBED TILL THEY BROKE. LEAVING NO POWER TO ANY WINDOW AT ANY SWITCH. COST $ 370.00 FOR FORD TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX BROKEN WIRES RIGHT WHERE MECHANIC KNEW THEY WERE BROKE BEFORE LOOKING.. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM IN THESE TRUCKS AND FORD SHOULD OWN UP TO IT AND FIX THEM FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED FORDS BUT AFTER THIS EPISODE WITH THE DEALERSHIP. NOT TO HAPPY......CHECKED INTERNET. MANY REPORTS OF THIS EXACTLY AS IT HAPPENED AND IN SAME AREA OF VEHICLE..HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS SAME PROBLEM, SAME FIX, SAME PLACE, SIMILAR COSTS TO CUSTOMER...NOT RIGHT. FORD IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS AND DOESN'T CARE. COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. HAD A BURNT SMELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A NEW YORK INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH IN A SNOW STORM, MY TRUCK STARTED TO MISS. IT THEN SLOWED DOWN AND SHUT OFF. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. A TRUCK STOPPED AND I HAD HIM PUSH MY TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, CAUSING ME TO HAVE DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE FAILED. IT IS LOCATED ABOVE THE SPARE TIRE AND DUE TO A DESIGN ERROR, WATER AND ROAD SALT GET TRAPPED BETWEEN MODULE AND MOUNTING BRACE. IT ERODES OUT FROM THE BOTTOM SIDE AND THE MOUNTING BRACKET. WHEN REPLACED, WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS A REDESIGNED COMPONENT, LIFTING IT AWAY FROM MOUNTING BRACKET. IF I HAD NOT HAD ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN ME AND THE TRACTOR TRAILER TRAVELING BEHIND ME, OR IF I HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING NEXT TO ME, IT COULD BE A TOTAL DIFFERENT OUTCOME. I KNOW FOR A FACT, THAT PART COMPONENT IS EXTENDED IN STATES WHERE THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF SALT CORROSION, AND BELIEVE THAT A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. SITTING ON A HIGHWAY IN A SNOW STORM IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS. *TR
