NHTSA Complaint #10535452 — 2005 FORD F-150

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AT 40 TO 50MPH THE ENGINE STRUGGLES TO PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING FUEL. IT HAS ALSO STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS CAUSING ME TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE STILL ROLLING,OR COME TO A STOP, TURN THE KEY COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN RESTART.TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND TO BE TOLD IT WAS THE CAM PHASERS WHICH WILL COST ABOUT $2,900.00 TO FIX WERE THE PROBLEM. HE ALSO SAID THE WORST DECISION FORD EVER MADE WAS USING THE 5.4 TRITON V8 FROM 2005-2008. YOU WOULD THINK IF A MANAGER OF A FORD MECHANIC SHOP TELLS YOU THIS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT ALSO HAS A CONSTANT TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE WHICH I WAS TOLD IS THE TENSIONER FOR THE TIMING CHAIN. THE TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 138,000 MILES. *TR
