Ford sued over latent defects in vehicles equipped with the 5. Email Print Facebook Reddit LinkedIn Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest. I purchased a ford f 5. It sickens me that they won't admit there are serious problems with these vehicles and that they see it as more money on their pockets, not mention how rude and ignorant they are right down to the mechanics!

I know someone who used to be a ford mechanic, he says he is embarrassed! Henry ford had a vision, I refuse to believe it was to screw thousands and thousands of people who are struggling as it is. I had my grandson in the truck with me, just got on the highway tried to push the gas as not to be rear ended by a truck, not knowing that it wouldn't get up to speed, we were almost killed, how many of them have had a scare like that because someone wouldn't take responsibility?

Not 1 I'm sure!!!! I have a Super Crew F and have MANY issues with my 5. Throttle Body, lifters, rockerarms, over head cam just to list a few. Rivertown Ford in Columbus Ga. My Lariat 5. I bought it new, hauled no more then a boat used 5w20 every 5k. Originally began having engine issues at miles.

Had to have DA sensor,camshaft positioner and valve springs replaced. Then, at miles had to have 3 coil packs replaced, was told at that time the cam phasers were going bad. Recommended me to an engine specialist in the area. He diagnosed the cam phasers were bad and was causing engine problems.

At miles the engine gave up the ghost. Replaced the engine with one in kind because of bad cam phasers. Have not had any luck with Ford on this matter. I have a F 5. Forntier Ford and after that it was all down hill. After doing all of the work more than After talking to at least 3 Mechanic Shops they all said I needed to replaced the entire engine that this was a very commun problem with this Ford engine, the pump is too small for the engine and that it caused all of the problems I already had.

I bought a used f fx4 with miles. At miles check engine light came on and the truck shuttered violently and stalled out at a stop light.

Started it back up and limped it back home. ODBII code p code came up. I replaced both vct solenoids to no avail. Took it to my mechanic and was told to take it to the dealer. The dealership said it was possibly the cam phasers. Later in the day I was called and told it the camshaft had scrapes and would need to be replaced. At only 88, it should need a new engine specially if you reset the computer it runs fine for several miles. I dont know where to start. My life has been plenty difficult without this.

I owned a f I traded it in for a The stalled multiple times. Multiple times I brought it in and was told nothing was wrong with it. This ruined my credit since they auctioned it off while it was at the dealer being serviced.

I lost a very important piece of equipment to my business and this was allwrong. It stalled on a highway. I just wanted a safe vehicle. I am still haunted by the credit this left me with. We also have an F 5. I have no word for how upset I am with this My truck runs rough at idle and sounds more like a diesel truck. It is in shop now being repaired.

He also informed me that this was gamble and I might need to replace engine. I'm having problems with my f too. I had stalling in traffic where I could have been killed.

I would lose all power to the engine. Upon recycling the key I could get it to go. Took it to Ford dealership. They replaced the throttle body and it worked find for a few years but now I'm having the same problems again. I'm afraid to drive it. The truck is junk. I also have same cam phaser issues on my Ford F fx 4x4 all dealers know about this serious engine fault! Can we get justice for Ford's faulty engines? I have a fx4 it is having transmission problems too it won't pull over half the time and it fouls the spark plugs bad it is a very big problem when you are on a tight budget.

I have a f with the cam phaser issues. I have a Ford F 5. I completely "Babied" this truck. Has k miles and Cam Phasers are knocking loud. Never ever pulled anything, always maintained with Ford Motorcraft products, and drove appropriately.

Burns 1 quart of oil every miles too!!! Now Im told my engine needs major repair or replacement!!! This is totally unacceptable!!!! PER ford on how to fix KNOWN ISSUE. SHAME ON YOU OR ME FOR BUYING ANOTHER FORD. Atmiles having trouble with the camshaft phasers slipping out of time. When this happens the engine will run rough, make a chattering "dieseling" sound, and wants to die. If I have the chance to react quickly enough I Can slip it into neutral and rev it up over rpm for a few seconds where it will at least temporarily straighten out.

This seems to happen most consistently when the engine has ben to operating temp for more than twenty minutes. This does not occur at cruising speed but usually after slowing to a stop. I have a f fx4 the engine is shot! I replaced the can phazers a year ago and now the probelem is back. I will not be buying a ford ever again! Bought a use Ford F 5. Then it started shaking on me and making loud noises as if the motor was about to fall out the rpm won't go up at times it's just a mess I took it to ford to check it out and they said I need a new engine.

I have f the 5. The came phasers have go out 3 times in a one year time span. THIS IS ALSO A WELL KNOW PROBLEM. AND THE ENGINE HAS A MOISTURE PROMBLEM NOW.

The timing belt exploed after being at the dealer several times. My warranty just ended mind you. They where aware of the problem, I will not buy a ford again! I was always a ford guy but forget it.

I got screwed big time like many others. I did rebuild the engine myself, new everything accept cam. I had it at dropped off at a machine shop along with the heads to be rebuilt. I have a intermittent cam phaser issue now and i replace it again. I cant sell it or give it away!

We have a f purchased new 8 maybe 10 times we took it to ford for knocking in the motor ,low oil pressure problems and transmission slipping. They each time claimed no issues. Now my truck is In need of serious repairs which where correctable when it was brought to their attention help me please.

We bought a new Ford F with a 5. We use this truck for plowing snow. We have had numerous problems with it. The steering wheel locked up and the key wouldn't work in the ignition several times. We had problems filling the fuel tank, because of a bad vent system. The Ford dealership installed a redesigned replacement vent kit to fix the problem, that didn't work. We kept getting billed every time for the fixes, that didn't work by the Ford dealership.

The truck would stall from almost new.

2004 Ford F-150. 460 Miles On One Tank Of Gas.

The exhaust manifold started to leak a few years ago. Recently, the motor started to idle rough and stall, when the plow hit the snow pile, which caused the service engine light to come on. An independent garage changed the cam phaser sensors for the timing. The sensors didn't fix the problem and the service engine light came back on. The same garage was going to change the solenoids for the timing to see, if that would solve the problem.

When they took the covers off, they found a blown gasket for the small piston that applies pressure to the timing chain on the left side. The overhead cam didn't receive oil, so now the motor needs replacing. The truck has around 37, miles on it.

We have f both started messing up with can phaser issues. Ford wouldn't anything under warranty said it was"normal" Thai is crap. Seems like they should fix it. I have a F in august my reverse went, was at the ford dealership for a month before they fixed it. Now less the six months my cam phasers were replaced.

Drove truck home and within a week was back to shop oil pump failure. End result I need a new engine. Never owned a ford before and my last one for sure.

Hello to all of you I feel your pain and suffering I had bought a brand new f fx4 and at 30k Miles it devolved a tick tick tick sound then took it to dealership they told me not to worry this was normal in the 5. After all this B. I got rid of it the truck was and will always be garbage!

I own a f which has problems. The transmission was changed at and the cam phasers are problematic. I wish ford would be honest and professional regarding their mistakes.

I purchased a Expedition with low miles and was not aware of the spark plug issue. The vehicle started miss-firing. I researched the issue and found the spark plugs tend to be the problem.

I started to remove the spark plugs and 3 of the 8 spark plugs broke off inside the head. This clearly will cause additional and unnecessary expenses. We purchased an Expedition with a 5. Shortly after buying the truck I started hearing a small knocking noise. I took the truck to our local dealership in Albia Ia and was told the cam phaser was probably bad. They didn't have any available but not to worry that is was a problem that they knew about on the 5.

I was told it was safe to drive that way and 10 miles later, the timing chain broke and I had to have them put in a reman. We had the motor replaced in F with 5.

We don't have much faith in a motor designed for failure. We want to join the class action lawsuit against Ford. I have a F King Ranch that has been having cam phaser issues. I called two dealerships and they tell me they don't know anything about this issue and that other F's have been doing this and that they are fine to drive.

L high MPG ???? - Ford F Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans

I was also informed that there is an issue with the spark plugs getting stuck and that I should replace them as soon as possible. Since they are aware of this issue, they should be taking care of this without additional fees. Ford should be taking care of this problem. Now I'm afraid to tow with it or take it long distance. I should have kept my F, never had an issue with that motor. Yes, I've got this same issue happening with my 08 f 5.

Ahhh what can I do. I've spent time if money and replaced sensors injectors plus you name it, it got replaced. Now I've got no power. Like others have said. We pulled out onto a highway with our two kids and a semi almost smacked us. There is no way I can drive this truck in a big city. I'd love a lawyer to contact me also. Bought a 07 f with miles on it had a cel on when I test drove it. Told dealer I would buy if they fixed it.

Test drive it again with no cel apparent and seemed to drive fine. Three years later I'm in the same boat with cam phasers and solenoids and bad fuel pump. Fixing it to sell. All I drove up until now. Mechanic said Chevy and other manufacturers are having same problems with phasers. Still owe money on it, and it's going to cost THOUSANDS to replace the complete JU K motor.

Got all the service records with the truck, and have meticulously maintained it. I'm completely disgusted with Ford for putting out such a worthless engine! I bought a 5. I was told they couldn't get it to duplicate. Have a f with 5. At low speeds in parking lots it will die I know it's a pcm issue because when it dies it resets check engine light meaning it lost is memory.

Nobody seems to have an answer, but catastrophic failure seems inevitable. The vehicle is extremely well maintained and never used for anything other than normal driving.

The engine suffered a catastrophic failure from the cam phaser problem, the engine needs to be replaced. Was surprised to find this is a well documented problem with the design, and should be considered a latent defect. Hello everyone, 2 weeks ago I bought a F with the 5. I took my Expedition in withmiles to the dealer because of an idling issue. Dealer put it on the computer and said nothing was wrong. This was on December 12, I picked the vehicle up the same day and it did the same thing as soon as I drove it off the lot.

I called them back the next week and they said they couldn't get me back in until December 30th. Dealer in PA said engine locked up. Had taken back to original dealer that said nothing was wrong and he said I needed a new engine.

This was January 13, While talking to the service manager and arguing that they should have gave me an appointment the week I called back he agreed. This is what gets me, on during our conversation on January 13th he had the nerve to say I needed an engine back in December.

Ford would not help and I told Ford Credit I would not make another payment until Ford helped me. We just bought a used Ford F 5. I started a facebook unhappy user group to quantify this issue.

Cam phasers are the issue and the truck has been sitting for 2 years because of the high cost of the repair. I feel this should be a recall issue when so many other people are obviously experiencing the same problem.

My stepson purchased a 04 f 5. Have a 04 f 5. Jasper and Powertrain have fixed all the problems ford cant. Ihave a f harley davidson 5. Ford dealer wont do anything. Only 33k on the truck! Seems like losing power too. My ticking cam phasers make a diesel truck sound like a stealth in comparison. Made my first complaint at 30, miles, complained again at 55k, both times the dealer said " normal sound" and blamed it on "sludge" with out even opening the engine.

Now at k and the engine is louder than ever and power is greatly decreased. After fighting with failed plugs, cam sensors, and multiple other engine problems that were all too immature, buying an F has proven to be a mistake that will never be made again!

I have a Sport Trac that sounds like a diesel truck with all of the noise it makes. I've been told it's the cam phaser estimated cost It also revs up on acceleration but doesn't go it has to speed up gradually.

I've owned Fords forever, I work for Ford Motor Co. I have a F - I have been driving with bad cam phasers for 5 years. I too am interested in a class action lawsuit because I believe Ford is knowledgeable of the issue and is hiding behind their corporate power.

I'm going to trade it in before while I can still drive it onto a dealership Last Ford for me too! Needs new engine going to trade it in for virtually nothing. Never to buy a ford again! I bought my 5.

After driving it for 2 years, cam phasers began ticking. I took in to the local Ford dealer and was told that nothing was wrong, that ticking noise was normal.

I asked the dealer representative if this would damage the engine and was told that it would not cause any damage. This being my first new Ford vehicle, I idiotically trusted these liars.

After several months of listening to this annoying noise, I asked a mechanic at a local shop if this noise was the valves ticking and he informed me that the noise was indeed bad cam phasers. I asked the mechanic if this would harm the engine and was again told it would not harm the engine.

This is absolutely rediculous! Ford should definitely have to answer to the courts for this outrageous injustice! Class action suit, count me in!

They took it apart and showed me the pictures it looked like a bomb went off inside. Metal scoring and shavings everywhere. Of course the warranty does not cover it because i didnt use "Motorcraft" oil filter that supposedly starved the phasers of oil.

My 73 ford f farm truck has over a HALF MILLION miles on it and probably hasnt had an oil filter changed on it in 15 years, but i used it to tow this piece of junk to a chevy dealer down the street and traded it in for a Silverado. My father and his father both are rolling in their graves while i drive a chevy down the road but at least Im actually DRIVING it. Oil change every Now need engine which is not available. Last year P bank 2 code and after replacing cam sensors 3 times it has gotten worse!

Now once it warms up it knocks loud like a diesel, stalls out and runs rough! They did not put a big enough hole in the ID to allow oil to pass thru!

Ford should have recalled this engine for its defects instead of allowing hard working people suffer from their mistakes! Shame on FORD, who hammers the Built Ford Tough slogan, a more accurate account would be, "FORD BUILT it, Now its your TOUGH LUCK! I'm having the same issues and I'm increasingly frustrated as I also own a f diesel with many other issues.

I am having the same Cam Phaser issues. I have owned my F 4x4 since This past year I have dumped more money in this truck than it's worth! Ford should have stepped up and recalled! No way, a truck should not burn out an engine in miles!!! I have a F with the 5. We purchased an F in We started having problems with the transmission at 30, miles, Ford "fixed" it and of course as soon as warranty lapsed we had to have it replaced.

Now we have the same Cam Phaser issues as everyone else. The oil supply system is woefully undersized and starves the engine for oil. It also has had numerous electrical problems. We have owned 3 Mustangs and 3 trucks but this will be out last Ford product. My f FX4 just started the knocking issue. I went from a chevy guy to a ford guy but not anymore after this pile of shit! A whole lot of tranny issues,Not engaging, slipping,no forward etc Having same issues with my fx4 was told cam phaser also and after reading all the comments I'm now scared to drive it.

Always been a Ford girl but not so sure anymore! Mine hasn't stalled out but at idle it starts shaking and gets that awful noise like the engine has no oil.

Time for a new truck for sure! Purchased a used Ford F FX4 and after 2k miles engine started knocking and shacking a idle - so loud sounds like rod knock! The cam phasers installed are 2, dollars - 2k miles use and now its parked while I pay off the 15k loan on this piece!

Ford needs to take responsibility on this bad design and take care of customers with this type of problem. I have a 5. Cam phazer issue is starting to show itself. After reading this article, i dont know what i should do at this point!

Since it only happens in reverse, I took it to a transmission specialist. Two different shops told me I needed trans rebuilt.

So I had it rebuilt After rebuilding it still had problem, not all the time just sometimes especially when pulling a trailer. Ford dealer had it for a day and couldnt find anything. They said they had never heard of this. Check engine light never comes on, no power loss. When it does thisI can rev engine and it goes away. Started at 75, miles, truck has 88, now. Ford should step up and fix their mistake!

I have had several 2valve 5. The 3valve engines suck. My Ford f knocking, stalling and goes into engine fail safe mode limp.

Service tech said it was the cam phaser knocking. I like my truck however I am very disappointed to Ford response to this known problem.

I have a F Lariat with 90, miles. I was on the interstate and out of nowhere it started sputtering and sounding like a diesel engine and losing pressure, then it shut off with no warning. It will crank back up, and do the same thing after a couple of miles. After having it put on the diagnostic machine, thecode said need new coil packs. I had just had new plugs and coil packs installed in less than 30 days. I replaced them again. It kept doing the same thing and throwing the same code. After talking to a mechanic at the ford dealership, he said I just need to replace the engine.

Oil was changed every 5, miles and change the spark plugs and coil pack every year. All with motor craft parts. Wow, Most everyone one of the earlier posts are so similar to my story! During a routine service, about a year ago I mentioned the knocking noise to the Ford service rep, was told the mechanic said it was normal.

About a week ago I got some serious stuttering as I traveled the freeway. Took it to the dealer, within a day they called me back and said I needed a new engine. I do not doubt that the shop foreman took about 5 minutes to see my complaints, diesel knock, low power saw that it was a 5.

Surely it wasn't his first 5. Btw, talked to another Ford service rep in a different city and he told me they won't even do a cam phaser repair anymore because the engine will likely fail within the year again.

It appears I'm outside the class action parameter, too many miles, which is ashamed because I don't doubt for a second that Ford knew that they had a engine out there being driven that was destined to fail I have had the same issue. A company out of California developed a cam phaser lock out kit. I bought and had it installed.

Truck is quite than ever and runs great again. Does not need a new motor. Truck has k and has pulled a trailer for my landscape company since the day I bought it. Clearly Ford hasn't done what it needs to to resolve the defect. I have a Mustang with 29, and the electronic throttle body has to be replaced. Outside of warranty due to greater than 3 years old.

The service representative said it is not an uncommon problem. There are several CALs for vehicles since First it Was The Catalytic Converter Then Started The Knocking And Loss of Power After Changing Plugs And Oil Change This Experience Has Been Nothing Less Than A Nightmare. Especially When Its Still Being. Is There A Recall on Cam Phaser Repairs??? I have a expedition bought it in with miles on it.

At it started making a ticking noise. I talked to a guy at the local ford dealership and he said it was the cam phasers. We never had any engine lights or anything then a week later the engine just quit when my wife was driving it.

This was my first date conforexpo bordeaux 2014 and my last.

I have a f Lariat at it cost I have a expedition withand i get the knocking noise at sudden low idle, sounds like a diesel. Not sure where to start, but I need to get it fixed as its is more prominent than before.

I just bought f 5. My first truck, I didn't know about ford truck. I bought the truck from small car sale business. I am having the same issues with my Ford needs to own up to the issue and do the right thing here. Purchased a Ford Expedition with 59, miles on it.

Engine froze up around 65k. They even suggested at the dealership that this is a very well known issue with the triton 5. I now believe they were just blowing smoke. I feel like I've invested so much money in to this truck and do not have any option but to keep it. It is starting to sound like it did right before the original motor locked up after a few thousand miles.

We recently had a similar issue, took the expedition to a different dealership in sarasota FL, it ended up being a bad fuel injector. Ford needs to own up to this issue and do the right thing. I have a f xlt 4x4 with miles and i have similar interaction with my dealer i took it due to the low idle and stalling out and was told the top end is starving for oil and the found metal in the oil. My options were to replace the engine with a new or used engine new engine for or used for This is completly unexceptable no engine should have to be replaced at miles.

When i asked what my other option was, i was told dont replace and live with the issue. So i suppose i will drive it untill the engine seizes. Ford needs to own up and either replace all the engines with good engines kee stock traders daily buy back all of our cehicles for fair market value.

Yepmiles and cam phasers are out they are telling me I need a whole new engine. Same issue cam phasers stalling my truck when ever it is warm.

The phaser s are oil pressure activated and my vehicle is warm and oil is lean they are failing. What to do now? The dealer will give me good trade in value on a new truck or else I have to pay out of pocket.

This is design flaw and we should not have to pay for Fords mistake! I have had nothing but Problems with my F FX4 5. Multiple Misfires, Cam Phasers are junk like every one else stated and now will not even adjust the timing anymore. I have Codes for Misfires, cam position sensors, Variable Cam Timing Sensors, amongst others and thats just the engine. I have Transmission problems that thankfully I bought a 3rd party warranty for and also my Rear differential is all screwed up and has been since I bought the truck from Dean Arbour Ford in Pinconning Mi.

I have had the truck in several times and have been charged alot of money everytime jut for them to say either there's nothing wrong or I needed to clean my Mass Air Flow Sensor. I will never ever buy another Ford vehicle in my life.

Not because of my bad experience with this Truck but because the Company or Dealers do not want to accept responsibility for their apparent lack of Engineering Skills and compensating their Owners.

Good Bye Ford Motor Company. At Ford F Nothing but problems since I bought it. Cats replaced in at 35, miles but now they are bad again. Ford says too bad. I have a f cara untuk menang di forex less than 70, miles on it spends more time sitting to get fixed does on the road all the same symptoms everybody else is having you call the dealerships they play dumb with you want you to bring it in so they can make moneyevery time the truck goes down you can plan on spending anywheres from to gran to get it to go againI don't think I would forex broker liquidity buy another Ford product ever worst experience of my life.

I have a F Lariat with failed Cam Phasers. Please register in this law suit. We have both been Ford folks our whole lives. It breaks my heart to hear so many people having such problems with vehicles and Ford not owning up to it. We bought used a year ago and was told the diesel sound was normal for those engines, I so wish I would have googled it. We've had it a year with nearly K on the odometer now. The other day he calls and says it's shaking so bad, it sounds like it's falling apart.

Straight the mechanic with it. Can't say we'll never buy another Ford, they've always done me good until now, but I sure am disappointed in the whole situation and Ford Co. I have forex reversal candlesticks Ford F lariat 5. Even several Ford mechanic can't come up with the same conclusion. I wish I would havefou d this page 2 days ago!

I purchased an canadian stock market screener f 5. It was perfect test driving. A very nice truck. Last night, the motor started vibrating the entire front end of the truck. I took it back to the dealer this morning and they are fixing the can phasers.

Now after reading these comments I'm terrified to know what I've got into. I don't know what to do now. The contract has been signed. Purchased at 72k mi. Loss of power issues within 2004 ford f150 fx4 5.4l mpg month of purchase was blamed on coils. Replaced every coil in first year of ownership. Loss of power and loud engine knock continued. Took to ford dealer and free photo editing software for macbook told cam phasers need to be replaced, a cam shaft was scored, and the engine was shot.

I told the Ford mechanic to button it up and I would drive it as-is. Engine has failed since then. My 06 f has had many issues. Losing power and going in limp mode.

Started just after the warrant was up and now having issues trying to get it fixed. Replaced the MAF and now can't get it out of limp mode.

Just bought a ford f 4x4 withmiles from a dealer. Only had for a week and runs like diesel at low rpm in parking lots. Should of bought a chevy instead these ford engines are crap. Figured lets try it out beauty of a truck!! So does their customer relations We have a f and will never purchase a ford again, so far we have replaced the transmission, the instrument panel, the very poor design spark plugs.

The cam phasers are gone and now we need to rebuild the motor, however since it seems the problem with them is that the holes the oil goes thru are too small, I am sure it will happen again. My daughter has a chevy 2 years older and her truck has not had 1 major repair, it also hasmore miles than my ford. If we were not old and retired I would buy a chevy, Shame on ford. I have a F King Ranch and have always been a Ford potters house trade stockton. I recently had problems with the cam phasers on the truck, had them replaced, and immediately had other problems, rebuilt the motor completely, and now with just a few thousand miles on the "new" motor with a new high volume, high pressure oil pump installed, thought this might solve the problem I am now having what appears to be new cam phasers issues all over again.

I have spent thousands trying to solve this problem. My F, 5. This is the 2nd time for this problem. Every time I stop at a light, the engine dies. It also has bad hesitation, runs rough, etc. The first time was at approx. Also, both front windows dropped down into the doors at approx. Ford refused to acknowledge they had a defective window regulator although their were many thousands of complaints on the internet about the same problem.

When is the government going to make these greedy companies stand behind the UNSAFE junk they are selling? I will never own another FORD POS in my life! I have a Lincoln Mark LT and have MANY issues with my 5. I had the engine replaced only to have the same problems arise a day later with another 5. I bought the truck from Apple Valley Ford in MN. Yes I have the same issue with my Ford F 5. Went into fail safe mode on the interstate.

Pulled into a Ford dealer and while they were diagnosing the problem one of the salesman stated it was probably the cam phaser. Guess what the codes came back as. It will be done in the morning. My truck had k miles. Gas mileage decreased as well as engine performance, loss of power, transmission not shifting properly.

If Ford knew of these issues they should have advised and recalled. I also had a brand new mustang that started giving me problems at miles and they could never figure out the problem because no service engine lights would pop up until I finally called Ford Motor Company directly and jumped down their backs I spent more time driving a rental car that Ford had to pay for than the mustang.

Finally at about 24, miles, they found the issue shifting solenoid and fixed it but about 8 months later same issue occurred again. Two weeks after fixing it the second time, I traded the car in and bought a new car outside the Ford brand.

I was tired of paying for a new vehicle that I could not even drive or worry that it would break down on me. I am having the same problems as most of the ones mentioned here. Ran OK, then noticed the ticking noise after warm up. Eventually MPG went to Changed the oil and filter, used Mobil1 full synthetic. The MPG went up to Then the MPG dropped to Now the MPG is back up to I have no idea why this sequence of events is happening.

Since I have no reason to think I won't have more problems with this engine, I would also be interested in the class action suit. I also have been a FORD man forever, but this is rediculess. I bought a f fx4 in It had a ticking in engine at milesstarted the first time i changed the oil the cel came on changed coils and plugs.

I love my truck but i can't afford this cheap material used to make these exhaust manifolds. The bolts are under sized. Ford needs to step up for a change. I'm getting a Dodge next. Lost me, I'm done. Just had passenger side maifold replaced about 2 months ago due to crack in manifold. Was told original manifolds were made "lighter" and prone to warping, then cracking. Now I am hearing the symptoms of cam phasers going out May have been there quite a while as I thought it was my manifold leak causing all the noise.

I havemiles on this truck and have faithfully taken into dealer for regular oil changes and required maintenance. Have always been a Ford guy, but now I'm starting to reconsider.

I'm wondering if I should try and trade this thing in while it's still running okay, rather than wait for the engine to fail? Still owe 15k on it, and cant do anything with this piece of crap and now ther engine has failed.

I am an independent used car dealer. These Fords at the auction are cheap. Now I know why they are cheap. All the other buyers know of these horrible engines. I floor stock leverage broker this P.

I cant sell these things to the public and sleep well at night. I'm thinking about either going out of business, because most U. Shame, shameshame, on Ford. Big blue oval should be replaced by a company loyal to hard working Americans! So your wonderful, beautiful luxury vehicle will soon have all foreign debris in them.

Similar case Ford F Lariat at 60, miles started making ticking noise and when at 30 mph acceleration problem. Just spend about Had new cylinder heads, new oil pump, ignition coils and spark plugs cam phasers installed and other things installed to fix problem. Ticking noise stopped but I guess it's just a waiting game to see how long it will be before ticking noise or other problems arise.

Wow I didn't know this many people have the same problem. I literally just dropped my truck off at the dealer for the same exact thing and I told them that my truck is still under warranty they haven't even looked at it already they are trying to give me the run around.

Engine failure due to timing and faulty design and development. I bought my Ford F Lariat brand new. I was one of the lucky ones. My truck didn't start having this problem untilmiles. Since then it has never been the same.

I have replace the entire timing system twice. Then yesterday it stalled out on interstate I had it towed back to my house. Now I'm replacing the timing system for the third time. Ford can not give me a permanent fix yet to the problem. Other then install a new motor for 10, dollars. So if anybody has any new information or help it would be greatly appreciated. Wow, I Cant believe all the stories from everybody on this 5.

Mine is similar, I bought my F brand new and my first problem was the throttle body needing replacement around 25, miles. Then the motor over time has been sounding more and more like a diesel. I have always gone to a Ford dealer for all of my required maintenance. Oil changes every not Well needless to say my Transmission went out at about 90, miles and its all been downhill from there. The truck had a backfire getting on the freeway one day, then 2 months later all hell broke loose.

The truck started to die when stopping at stop signs or lights.

F 4WD Yukon Complete Gear Swap Package S3M-YUKON

When turning certain corners the truck wants to die also. I took it to the Ford dealer and they replaced the spark plugs and coil packs. I asked them about the knocking and they mentioned that this was normal and that my truck would have to have the Cam Sensors replaced. So we left the dealer and halfway home the truck dies at a stoplight, so we turned around and went back to dealer. Long story short, the dealer kept fixing and replacing parts thankfully at no cost to me for about 2 months on and off.

And I did'nt have the sensors replaced. To this day my wife has to shift into neutral at stops to keep the truck running! And nobody can figure out why. After reading these posts I better try trading it in and going elsewhere.

I have always loved Ford trucks but this is ridiculous. I have a f and have had it since Since then it has been in for other service issues which i mentioned the knocking noise and i was told it was normal.

Maybe normal for a poorly designed engine and components. My 04 F 4wd with the 5. Same problem with my wife's 05 expedition.

We replaced the engine at the cost of dollars and the new engine has never ran right. That won't go away. I had an engine failure yesterday - I have where do the sister wives family get their money Ford F Lariat - Stopped to get coffee and while in line the truck started skipping - gave it some gas to prevent what I thought was an impending stall - Got back on the road and stopped into a local repair shop as the engine light came on - They diagnosed the Cam Phaser fault - had it towed tot he dealership where I purchased it.

They diagnosed it as 8 cylinder locked up and 7 misfiring. I just paid the truck off last month, get oil changes every there thousand miles. Great to see they stand behind their product - Does anyone know if there is an on going class action lawsuit? This is unacceptable and ridiculous. I will never buy a ford again. My F FX4 with 5. At least thats what the shop said and the stock trader ri wpf body cause my truck idles at rpm and when hot shuts down.

The ford trucks with the 5. First is the 2 piece oil pump that comes apart and dosent send oil to top of motor where cams are located causing it to jump time. They also have issues with the throttle body which after a short time drops down to about rpms. This will not let enough oil flow to top of motor causing it to jump time as well. This truck has had oil changed every miles with the recommended oil.

I have had more problems with this how to trade currency basics than any other auto I have ever owned. Ford needs to stand up and take care of this problem or they are going to lose alot of loyal customers and should go bankrupt.

I hope they choose to fix the through models with the 3 valve motor. If not I will never buy a Ford again or anyone in my family. What a rip off ford has become. WE should all get together and create a National Add to let Ford know that making a Truck that requires an engine swap atmiles will not be tolerated.

These trucks are junk, there are shops that are opening now that specialize in rebuilding these Engines because of the demand. Rattles all the time, some times dies.

Worried about driving it anywhere.

Sounds like a diesel. Also only used 5W20 oil but now I run amsoil 0W30 just trying to make it quiter it pumps up to the heads quicker and don't thin out as much at operating temps! But it still ticks but not as loud as most that you hear. Now the other thing is the other car that we have it's a ford explorer and well that is a mess the timing chain tensioners went bad took 6 months to have fixed ended up having a used motor put in after they did the timing chains 6 times Ford has made 2004 ford f150 fx4 5.4l mpg bad vehicle after another.

Just Purchased a spread broker forex F from a Ford Dealer, they did not disclose any problems 83, miles not even 60 days and now the check engine and electronic throttle control light is on and the truck wont move. We has always owned a ford truck.

Ford F Overview and Model Lineup - ywegyrayeku.web.fc2.com

Sad we purchased a new Mustang last year. Ford needs to step up to the plate. I have less than 70, miles on my Ford F 4x4. I have replaced front springs,transmission,starter,emergency brake unit that exploded going over a tall bridge,and I am in the proccess of replacing the accessories for binary options ballbearings, shocks, tires,and any repairs to do with codes P,P B and Would any Ford dealer like to pay me back for these repairs since nobody informeed me of these problems in the past?

I am a widowed parent and have always bought from Ford. This is going to change. I would never allow a chevy in my drive. Looks like that may change also. So much for being a Loyal Ford Buyer.

I have several hundred car show trophies that were won with fords. Shame on you "FORD". I guess you have proven all those Chevy Drivers that F. SO, I will have to put more money into a truck that is worth 10 to 12 thousand dollars if I sell it. No one will buy it now. Just doesn't seem right to take advantage of anyone for this amount whether or not that I am a widowed female or a well todo male, does it? It would be cheaper for you to pay for all my repairs than it would for you to go to court wouldn't it?

Of course you can always extend a court ruling for years can't you? That would look real good for Ford. Do the right thing. Be Human and not corporate. What is MORALY right here. Your Ford people have said alot about the Loyalty they had when buying a car. How Loyal are you to your Customers?

I will wait as long as it takes to get a response to this. Purchased used F with 5. Had all the issues mentionedCEL ,diesaling and stalling, well July 15 motor seized.

Have had it towed to local ford dealer still data entry jobs from home columbus ohio for verdict. I've got a F XLT withmiles; and just like many of the other owners of the to vehicles, my truck stalls below rpm and shakes like a magnitude 6. With the sheer volume of known issues with this engine design, they should have been able to tell me what's wrong with the engine without even looking at it!

I also thought is was odd for them to suggest replacing the engine in lieu of repairing the problems with the existing engine. It's like they were reading from a script! In my opinion,they know its' a piece of junk and don't want the liabiltiy knowing that it will fail again! I don't know what legal solutions we owners have going forward, but I would definitely be interested persuing a class action suit forcing Ford to make good on their substandard product.

Yes am having the same problem with my 04 f Truck making a ticking sound on the passenger side and misfiring real bad. I have a ford f triton 5. I have replaced can phaser, fuel pump cont module because Ohio salt ate through the metal where it was on the frame rail.

Replaced intake manifold and then timing chain went and chewed up engine. Only means of transportation while I'm on workers comp now I'm looking at posts and labor to replace it. Only owners with 54, miles, it's in getting the motor replaced. Will not buy another one. Our last 5 vehicles have been fords from the same dealership l. Well the Chevy dealership is down the rd. Got it repaired and replaced all of the other spark plugs at that time. Within 2 months it blew again. We have been told by our mechanic that the computer module is now having problems and that it is probably connected.

The truck idles rough and ticking in the engine. I HAVE A FORD F 5. Always loved Ford cars and trucks. Just bought a used F with about 70, miles from a dealer here at Capital Auto Mall here trademonster weekly options Olympia, WA.

Looks like the VCT solenoids are bad. I have the same problem on my f 5. Phasers make it sound like a diesel and it has loss of power. Have a 05 f 4x4bad phasers plugs misfiring jerking love ford but thay fd this one up.

My high mileage engine is dieseling and losing power at times. Does not use much oil, and has always run good.

Now it's stalling and seems to fit the description in this memo. Suddenly has now power under load, poor fuel mileage. Plugs, coil paks, fuel filter all changed Timing swings negative under load Reading through this is quite frustrating. There is a defect in the way the engine was manufactured but no responsibility is being taken. Lets go Ford, admit the cam phaser, valve ticking defect.

If your "Ford Tough" then stand up as company! I own a ford expedition, should have bought a toyota sequoia and I am embarrassed every time Im either pulling options futures and other derivatives hull pdf a drive way or stuck in traffic, due to the disel noise coming from the engine. I bought a F having trouble with this truck after 4 months of buying it transmission went out was replaced since then my truck has not been functioning properly 2 years later started making a diesel truck sound an losses power when I accelerate it do not trust my truck anymore and has not even reached the 71, miles.

Yup F Lariat. Cam phaser failure at 72, miles. Stalling and rough idle. Happened in a very vulnerable position and could have been very serious. Same Issue Told I needed a new motor. Just keep replacing, quite a bit of money in repairs. Almost got into an accident as it decided to stall out while trying to cross an intersection. Cannot handle the expense of a new motor.

Have a Ford f 5. I purchased Two fords for my business in the first one failed at thirty thousand miles ford would not honor the warranty as they said it was my fault because I did my own maintainance.

The second one lasted to just over a hundred thousand and that motor needs to be replaced too. The first one I let them repo because I still owed 29 thousand and they wouldn't repair it. This is not isolated to just those year models. I had a F 5. Absolutely perfectly maintained as are all my vehicles Only issue was the crappy plug situation but no other engine issues. I sold it and purchased a brand new F 5. Less than 6 months had check engine light going on and off.

Told by dealer that there was nothing wrong. It still continued and they said it may just be a "funny connection somewhere" Had k mile extended warranty, but they could never find anything. They had my vehicle for 2 hours and called me and told me my engine was "toast"! I had some oil changes done at Lamb's Tire and Auto. The service tech said "Lamb's used wrong oil filter".

The Ford service tech then stated "engines are mechanical, like washing machines, they just break! I went round and round with them. Got a second opinion from an independent mechanic that went there to look at the truck. Needs new engine after perfect maintenance and just over k miles of mild use I have since spoke to 4 people with nearly identical stories. Now Ford has told me to be sure to only use a Motorcraft oil filter because of the "special check valve in it to prevent engine damage".

No one told me that before? The dealer says "Ford always recommends using only Ford parts and when you don't, they are not responsible.

I talked to a few folks, one inside Ford dealership, that said Ford has known about this all along! Do i take a chance and put my hard earned money into a mechanics pocket or just finish paying it off and take it to the scrap yard to recover a few hundred dollars.

Ford needs to held accountable for this problem. Twelve days ago same issue with 05 f Get in truck to drive to work, everything is fine. Get on highway, engine starts chugging, check engine light flashing, can't keep vehicle to speed, have to pull over to let cars pass.

Finally make it to work, truck flashing multiple engine codes. Truck not even worth anything on trade in now. Unlike some others I have never used anything but Motorcraft oil filters and synthetic blend or better oil.

Ford knew and should be held responsible! FORD please take accountability!!! Same issues with my 07 super crew 5. I have a Expedition, vehicle hasmiles and stopped running while in drive and had to coast to safe place. This sucks and Ford should pay to replace these defective motors, they knew they were defective and sold them anyway. Same as everyone else. I have f lariat and this motor runs like shit, it sounds like a powerstroke but it is a gas motor. It's got no get up and it is an embarrassment to drive.

I have an 04 f 5. It too is starting with the same issues as most in here. I owe like 13k on it yet and i'm thinking i'm gonna get stuck with a piece of crap. It's a nice vehicle. Unfortunately the motor is junk. Do the right thing here please. Same issue as everyone else!!!!!! Less than 80, miles on the engine!!!! People have solutions for the problem but that doesn't always work either.

You're still having to spend thousands not knowing if is going to fix your problem! Thousands us middle class people don't have!!!!! I have always been ford loyal but now I'd like to park this think in the CEO's driveway and light it on fire!!!!

This is utter crap. I have a F 4x4 and have been having the same problems that everyone on this thread have been having. I would like to be added to the class action lawsuit. Went from tapping noise after first spark plug change, was told that it was normal with the new spark plugs and was charged for each spark plug that they broke taking them out.

After the second plug change, in a couple of day starting having problems, took truck back, was told need one coil pack I think 2. Now engine light is on was told 3 misfire, but couldn't get it to come back was told to drive and if it comes back to bring vehicle back in. Took to ford was told I have slug and VCT solenoid and they recommend a engine. What should I do. I have a 07 f 5. The truck still does not run right, I have not been able to drive it for 3 months nad it's not paid off.

I am still trying to find a solution but very frustrated at this point. We brought 08 f 5. It knocks after we make a trip anywhere. What the problem be should ford have to pay for a new motor for our truck. I just got Ford f Not even a week and I'm having problem. I should got in a chef truck. I have a horrible problem with my 04 5. Was told at dealership that it is common maintenance every k mikes. My truck has 99k miles. Ford replaced it at no cost to me but am having similar prob.

Have replaced 7 of 8 cop's replaced pcm on my own, but no change so put orig. I have owned my '05 Eddie Bauer Expedition since late Bought it at 42, moles, now atI can't even begun to tell you how much that I have had to put into this truck. Coils, transmission, ac compressor, and now possibly a new main Computer.

Ever since I got it, I would hear a loud clicking or tapping in reverse, especially backing up a hill. The mileage fluctuates a lot and it has never really had a smooth idle, this thing is very temperamental.

If Ford can do anything, or if they are forced by the courts to do anything, I want in! Now I am told I need an oil pump and possible have a trust bearing problem.

I think it is time Ford does the right thing. The only bright side to this problem is that we consumers have other choices when it comes to purchasing a new truck. I have an 04 f with the 5. Ford knows what they did and will not admit they are wrong and take responsibility for their mistake shame on you Ford someday you will have to answer to God about this.

To whom much is given much is required. I have a F Lariat with a 5. The idle on it drops to around RPM and it stalls on me when I am at a Stop Light or pulling into a parking spot. The engine also sounds like a Diesel engine with all the noise it makes.

I have not taken it to a mechanic but from what I am reading here sounds like I might have to have the same repairs or replace the engine as others have already done. Good morning yes I have Ford Expedition 5. I bought ford f xlt, v8, 5. I have had nothing but problems. The check engine light is continual problem with registration od vehicle with code after code coming up costung me thousands. It will go off, but return. Now its the ABS and all the B S that comes with that. It has terrible gas mileage.

The leaky radiator problem repaired is back again and all kinds. I have to register again. Along with that is hundreds of dollars paid to shops that never fixes the problem or even know the problem. I bought f 4x4 lariat withmiles it run fine when i bought it having the same problems have had it 6 months already had cam phaser replaced.

Same issue cam phaser in my 05 f !!!! Replacing engine now but come on ford, i have an 93 f thats still running with only rust related problems. Ford you need to take responsibility and fix this. Within months I had the front rotors replaced due to Ford placing under seized rotors on this vehicle. At the same time I spoke with service manager at Ford dealer at Al Pimonte in Melrose Park, Illinois about the knocking noise in the motor. He said it was normal for the 5.

I have now miles and it sounds like I own a Diesel engine. I learned now that it would be a big expanse for me to fix this and it may not stop the problem. I emailed ford directly and never received a response. Maybe Ford will admit to this failure and help out the people who kept them in business. The design or the truck is great. As for this motor I would say it's a major failure.

I have a 04 f 4x 4 lariat with miles and I got it used with miles and after putting miles had to have the vct solenoids changed twice now at I have to change the vct solenoids again this time it is worse the engine misfires and shutters and dies when coming to a stop.

Also this engine has another engineering flaw the spark plugs will snap in half when removing them. I have been working on cars since and am a die hard ford guy and ford should do some thing to help us customer to have kept them I business but since no one has died because of this defect it is not a recall. They should be proactive and help us before someone does die. Doing this should prevent other problems. Truck has been babied, maybe pulls a load three times a year. Besides the whole spark plug issue that was a major problem this truck will be the last ford ever own.

I just purchased a ford f crew cab a week ago and when I come to a stop it stalls out and has died a cple times and it is making a knocking niose. When I start it up it sounds like a diesel. I put the E brake on when I was parked on a hill and it got stuck I drove it 5miles before it finally straightened out. This vechile only has miles on it and shouldn't have any problems especially engine problems. I took ut to the dealership were I purchased it and they told me it was the variable cam time celeniod and we are looking at to and I just paid 20, for the vehicle.

Bought a F supercrew cab in it had 40, miles on it. It now has 87, It always had a ticking sound and I was told that was normal.

86 f efi problems - Ford F Forum - Forums and Owners Club

Recently the truck started to stall at low rmps. Was told it was vct celeniod, replaced both and the truck will start but the engine shakes and acts like its out of time. Re-set the ecm, have no oil pressure. I think the motor is shot. The only thing that's positive about this is the truck is payed for. It will set until I can afford another motor. If I want to take the risk of put any more money into it. Purchased March 1, with 72k miles.

Since purchasing the vehicle it has spent around 8 months in the shop non consecutive. Had to have the transmission replaced 2 months after I purchased the truck I never towed with it. Had to have the motor replaced because of the spark plug issue. Had to have the second motor replaced because the cam phasers went out. Had the transmission replaced again-the owner of the shop said it looked like a bomb went off in the transmission and that was barely recognizable as a transmission anymore.

Had to have the motor replaced a third time because of the cam phasers. Now the temp gauges is no longer working and the truck is having issues shifting. After reading the codes and replacing the cht sensor didn't fix issue and cht sensor connector didn't fix issue I've figured out I need a flash up date for my pcm. I have a Expedition Eddie Bauer and have replaced the plugs and replaced the coils many times only to continue to have the hesitation problem.

Nothing I do seems to last. I purchased a 5. I had several engine problems throughout ownership. With two payments left the engine was deemed in need of replacement.

I spent 48K for nothing but problems. I bought my 05 fx4 new in I have had same issues as everyone else on this board the engine lights coils knocking engine shuttering. Never had problems til warranty was already ran out. This is not fair to the consumer to not take some the responsibility of a major issue of these engines. Then dealer diagnosed cam phasers and timing issues. Something needs to be done to hold manufacturer accountable. I just bought an 05 f with the 5.

Now starting to"backfire" when decelerating. These 3 valve triton engines are an embarrassment. It's an even bigger embarrassment that Ford won't be held responsible. They know and don't care that they're screwing civilians over, the majority being reguler blue collar American workers like myself. Currently dealing with the infamous VCT and Cam problems along with ingenious "2 piece" spark plugs that are seized on and are known to break off in pieces. Must have a new motor at my expense.

I replaced the motor with a motorcraft crate motor in after it was out of warranty. Still have the same issues. Love the truck-hate the power plant. Truck currently has K miles on it and it is have more acceleration problem again. As it happens intermittently, no one can nail down the exact problem. Vehicle had had idle problems when warm, sounded like a diesel, and died several times in traffic. Replaced Cam Phasers, tensioners, timing chain and VCT Solenoids twice. Changed oil pump this last time to an aftermarket pump.

Truck no longer stalls, but does still sound and run bad on occasion. This vehicle is not reliable and not safe! I live, work, and play in the Nevada desert - and I know that eventually this vehicle WILL leave me stranded!

Problems started at 80K miles and I have nursed it along to K. I will probably need a new engine within the next 20k miles as the heads and cams do show signs of scoring. This is a blatant engineering flaw which will eventually get someone killed - either by stalling in traffic or leaving someone stranded.

Got it a week ago. Now it needs a new engine??? Feel I already overpayed for the truck due to a long story with a dealer screwing me over. Now I have a big loan on a broken truck. Always liked fords but starting to rethink that. The Cam Phasers went bad causing my F Fx4 to lose power and stall. Now it needs a new engine or a total rebuild.

All this sound familiar ,just started noticing this similar problems. Getting sick to my stomach on how much it costs to repair.

Have a fx4 with miles. Runs well but every now and then I feel the truck being sluggish and feels like it down shifts funny. Dont know if I should sell. Truck check engine light is on misfire on coil 3 changed coil and sparkplug and still get misfire on coil 3 even with new coil and sparkplug. Bought a used F with k miles on it.

Drove it that weekend from North Florida to Tennessee and barely made it! Engine making horrible noises, trying to stall out on the interstate, horrible loss of power at times, starting to smell an exhaust leak now, transmission feels like it is slipping. Horrible for any vehicle under k miles. Have a F with the 5. Been out of service for close to a year because of needing and engine. Still paying for it. Very disappointed in ford for not standing behind their product.

I have Ford F with only 35k. Cold start in the morning loud ticking noise at first then it quits down Put any load on it F - failed O -oblivious R-refutation D-disgruntled. I bought a used fxlt 5. The cam position sensor said it was bad so replaced it drove great for miles then it went out again.

I just bought my ford f 5. They told me to bring it back on that Thursday morning, they kept it four days. I picked up on Monday morning two hour later right back to the dealership. They are replacing the engine with a new one in the crate. I wonder it ford has done anything to solve the problem? They said the oil pump, cam phasers, and a couple more things was wrong. The good thing about it, they paid my 1st truck payment, and a rented dodge to drive. I have a f parked in my backyard, which I have owned for 15yrs and the only thing I done to it was replaced the timing chain.

This modern technology, I don't like it not one bit. I was going to buy a used f Looks like I am gonna stay with Chevy or dodge!!!!!!! I purchased a Ford F FX4 Same issue cam phasers as well spark plugs Dealership said it needed a new engine at k miles. Quoted 7k for a new engine. Disappointing to see a great company like ford Not step up and do right by consumers who've been so loyal for so many years. No solution but I've spent a lot of money and a ton of work nothing is working and truck is still the way it was when my mechanic started.

My truck died 05 expedition putting. I purchased a f and I had the plugs changed atmi. Every time I addressed each issue there was ALWAYS another. I should of got rid of it then. But no i keep it and the problems keep coming. Replaced coil packs fuel injectors now having problems with the cam phasers and vct. How do I know if I meet the requirement to join the lawsuit. My truck is an 08 with miles and just now started to act weird like issues stated above.

I bought a 04 f from Joe Cooper Ford in Shawnee Oklahoma after without them telling me that issues on it. I'm also having cam phaser issues. I was driving on the interstate with my wife and kids. My check engine light came on, then the oil pressure gauge went to zero and back to the normal position. After that, the check gauges light came on. My ford expedition, lost power, shuddered and died, while driving. A trailing eighteen wheeler just missed us by a few feet.

I restarted the truck and got out to check it and it sounded like a diesel truck. Thank god that truck driver was able to avoid us! I had it checked by a mechanic and was told about the cam phasor issue with these engines.

My Expedition is has the same problem with the overdrive. I tried to accelerate entering the highway. I hit the gas, and nothing happened.

I had to dive onto the shoulder to keep from getting hit. Thank god my kids weren't in the car! It knocks and jumps time frequently. I can't afford to fix it, and I'm just so glad it hasn't blown up on me already. I can't trade it in, because I can't get anything for it. Because it constantly knocks.

Ford should do a recall, and replace all 5. I have heard nothing but good things about them. My F XLT for the most part has been performing well. The only issue I've had is the check battery light. It goes on and off randomly. My shop can't figure out why. I have no idea what a lot of the complaints on this page are about.

I own a F and a Expedition, both with the 5. Both of them hammer like crazy when started. It's only a matter of time before they fail I am sure. I have serviced everything that I thought it could be.

Sometimes this even happens when I try and accelerate at 35 MPH. I can't believe no one has mentioned the spark plugs pulling the threads out of the head!

They make a tool to fix it that's named, "the Triton" tool! How about that defect??? We have F 5. I have a F Lariat that the cam phazers and guides were replaced I bought this truck new inchanged oil every 5, miles. I have a crew cab F FWD and treat it like a family car than a truck. Yes, I have had to replace my 5.

What shocked me was the dealership was surprised and indicated this happens to this engine. Hmm seems it should have been a recall item. I have a F k purchase new from Sawgrass ford at 80k lots of valve noise that led to the cams replacement, lots of other issues brakes locking, plugs broken in head etc.

I have a F with a 5. It started to cold knock around 20k miles. I had it to the dealer several times and they changed the oil and basically said there is nothing they can do. They also stated that many of them knock like that and that it will run for many more thousands of miles. The truck also developed a shimmy under load and will backfire and hesitate at times. Oil has always been changed at appropriate intervals and I have all service records.

Yes I have the ticking noise and lack of acceleration. I guess I need to take the loss and get a Chevy. I have a ford with this motor. I have had the same problems with the motor over the years. Have a 04 F super crew 5. I have a Expedition 5.

The engine has a terrible rough idle and sounds like a diesel. Its been doing this for the last 5 years. I had the VMT solenoids replaced, cleaned the throttle body, etc. FORD states they "can't find the issue described" every time I take it in for this after dropping hundreds of dollars at it.

But as soon as I take it in for a oil change, they state rough idle. This engine is poorly engineered with numerous flaws and they know it. Engine starts and sounds like it's down a few quarts then warms up and is fine, but engine oil is within acceptable tolerances per the dipstick.

Had to replace the plugs at 95k miles and quite a few broke dealer and then replaced all of the coils for the plugs. I have a and my engine has been ticking since I got my truck. I need to know what Ford will do about it. At k Ford says these engines are prone to breaking down. Told all we had to do is put a new engine in it.

We have replaced coils before. A new engine at K mikes? I don't think so. I also have a XLT 5. I brought it in used with 63, miles on it. I love this truck,first truck and first Ford. I replaced the manifold that had rust and holes in it, At least eight bolt heads had broken off. The exhaust also had to be replaced because of rust. Five days later it's shaking and tattling like crazy,so back to the shop.

After four days mechanic calls you need a NEW engine. It's a shame when a company as big as Ford and other American companies don't care about their customers concerns or safety.
