Consumer Description

A WEEK AFTER I HAD PICKED UP MY NEW 2005 FORD F150 LARIAT THE 5.4L ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND SPUTTERING. AFTER TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO FAULTY SPROCKETS ON THE CAM SHAFTS (BULLETIN SSM-18342). I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE AND A WEEK AFTER GETTING IT BACK THE KNOCKING AND SPUTTERING IS STILL THERE AND GETTING WORSE. NOW I'M GOING BACK TO THE DEALER INSISTING THE ENGINE BE REPLACED. I DON'T EXPECT A LOT OF COOPERATION.*AK
