EVERY VEHICLE THAT FORD PUT OUT WITH A CAM PHASER IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE CAN PHASER. ANY SAE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WILL VERIFY THIS. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DESIGN. WHY HASN'T FORD STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND FIXED THIS ISSUE? I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO BURY IT SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO INCUR THE COST OF FIXING THEIR MISTAKE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE I'VE BEEN STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER, WON'T GO INTO GEAR....ETC....THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAN PHASER HAS ACTIVATED AND THEN I COME TO A STOP. THEN IT'S MISFIRING STALLING NOT GOING INTO GEAR...YOU NAME IT IT'S AN ISSUE. A COMPUTE READ ON THE OBD2 STAYED THAT I HAD MISSES IN IGNITION COILS 1,3 AND 7 REPLACED THEM THEN THE TEACHING STAYED MISFIRED IS 2,4 AND 5 REPLACED THEM AND ALL THE SAME ISSUES... EVERY MECHANIC I'VE SPOKEN TO SAYS ABSOLUTEY THE PHASES AND THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT A CAM PHASER DELETE KIT IN THESE VEHICLES DO GET RID OF THESE PROBLEMS.

I BROUGHT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHO CONFIRMED TO ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT WENT OUT. THIS IS NOW THE 3 THROTTLE BODY THAT MY TRUCK HAD HAD (9 YEARS OLD AND 130,000 MILES). AFTER DOING RESEARCH I SAW WHERE FORD HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER MODEL VEHICLES AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IF IT OCCURS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC YOU LOSE ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I THINK FORD HAS A MAJOR ISSUE HERE THAT IT IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS.

SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT. MECHANIC REPLACED IT FOR $350 THEN IT BLEW OUT AGAIN 2 DAYS LATER. PROBLEM WITH FORD SPARK PLUG TEARING THREADS OUT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO REPLACE SPARK PLUG WITHOUT REPLACING ENTIRE ENGINE. MY SON WAS ON HIS WAY BACK TO COLLEGE (5HR DRIVE) WHEN THE SPARK PLUG BLEW. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN! HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUG AND 2 DAYS LATER SAME ONE BLEW AGAIN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. TOWED A SECOND TIME AND MECHANIC IS SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO RESOLVE. HE SAYS WE MAY HAVE TO REPLACE ENTIRE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THREADS BEING STRIPED WHEN IT BLEW OUT. FORD MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY SOLUTIONS. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM HAVE HAD ENGINE FIRE WHEN SPARKPLUG BLEW. WE WERE IN PROCESS OF SELLING VEHICLE SO NOW WE ARE SOL! WE DON'T HAVE $4000 TO REPLACE ENGINE AND OUR FAMILY NEEDS A 2ND CAR.

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.

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.

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.

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

OVER THE PAST SIX WEEKS, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THREE EVENTS IN WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. THE FIRST TIME, THE TRUCK WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL FORWARD, VIBRATING, AND REVVING THE ENGINE WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT .I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE OR AN ERROR ON MY PART AND DISREGARDED IT. THE SECOND AND THIRD TIME, I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN FOR THE LIGHT WITH VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME. INSTEAD OF STOPPING AS I WAS DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV AND PULL FORWARD. I DEPRESSED MY BRAKES TO FLOOR AND THE TRUCK STOPPED BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AND ATTEMPT TO PULL FORWARD WITH THE BRAKE ON. FORD COMPANY AND MY DEALERSHIP, OF COURSE, DENIED ANY PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER I CITED SEVERAL CASES IN WHICH THIS OCCURRED WITH OTHER CARS. THEY SAID SOMETIMES SENSORS GO OUT AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT BUT WERE HAPPY TO DO A DIAGNOSIS FOR $100. I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEMS COMPARED TO THE NEW BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEMS AND AM TOTALLY UNNERVED THAT FORD WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT. I FEAR THAT ANY MOMENT, MY TRUCK IS GOING TO ACCELERATE INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN--A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR CONSUMER SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 FORD F-150 WITH A 5.4L V8 ENGINE. THERE WAS INTERMITTENT RATTLE NOISE (KNOCKING) AND ROUGH IDLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WARMS UP AND I COME TO A STOP OR SLOW ROLL THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE AND A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IS HEARD IN THE ENGINE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS ENGINE AND FORD DENIES IT IS. I HAD IT FIXED IN SEPTEMBER 2011, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH 49,934 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AND CURRENTLY HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS INFORMED BY BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS PRIOR ISSUE DURING THE WARRANTLY TIME. DEALER WANTS APPROXIMATELY $300.00 TO INSPECT TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HAPPENS DURING SLOW SPEEDS OR IDLE AT STOP LIGHTS AND ONLY WAY TO MAKE IT STOP IS TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE OR REV UP THE RPMS. I BELIEVE THE TSB WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE IN 2010 BUT THE MANUFACTURE HAS NOT NOTIFIED CONSUMERS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FORD MOTOR NEEDS TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ENGINE AT THEIR COST. *JS
