Consumer Description

I OWN A 2011 F150 3.5L TURBO ECOBOOST TRUCK. IT HAS CAUSE ME NOTHING BUT GRIEF! VIOLENT HESITATION/SHAKING ON HIGHWAY WHEN PASSING. LOSE OF POWER WITH ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON LEFT ME ON THE ROAD TWICE. FINALLY ENGINE BLOCK EXPLODED WITH A ROD SHOOTING OUT OF ENGINE. OIL SPAYED ALL OVER ENGINE CREATING THICK BLACK SMOKE AND POOR VISIBILITY. PULLED OVER HAD TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE SMOKE WAS INSIDE. COUNTLESS FORD ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE ISSUE AND NOTHING WORKED. EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. I JUST RECEIVED MY TRUCK BACK AND HAVE LOST TOTAL FAITH IN THIS PRODUCT. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS ENGINE! I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS. *TR
