Consumer Description

COASTING AT LOW SPEED AROUND 7MPH I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, INSTANTLY AS I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, NOW NOT EVEN MAKING IT TO 10MPH, THE 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE MADE AN INCREDIBLY LOUD AND HARD BANG AND CONTINUED TO GROW LOUDER AND SHAKE MORE VIOLENTLY. I CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I SHUT DOWN THE TRUCK TO FIND OIL SPILLING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE BLOCK. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT TWO CONNECTING RODS HAD BROKE AND DESTROYED THE BLOCK. THEY IS NO CONCERN FROM ANYONE AT FORD ABOUT HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR
