NHTSA Complaint #10584384 — 2005 FORD F-150

THE 5.4L ENGINE INSTALLED IN THE FORD F150 HAS NOTHING BUT A BAD REPUTATION FOR COSTING CONSUMERS THOUSANDS AND NEVER BEING ABLE TO FULLY FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE CUTS OUT OF POWER, SHAKES VIGOROUSLY, MISFIRES AND IS DANGEROUS ON HIGHWAYS, HILLS, OR ANY ROADWAY FOR THAT MATTER. OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ALMOST GOT US REAR ENDED BY A SEMI TRUCK WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE WE COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE WITHOUT LOSING POWER AND SHAKING AND JERKING! THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS ENGINE I'M SURE, JUDGING BY THE FORUMS, WEBSITES, CAR COMPLAINT SITES ETC. MEANWHILE, WE TOOK OUR TRUCK INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY GET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO BRING THESE VEHICLES IN AND SPEND THOUSANDS TO REPLACE THE CAM PHASERS JUST TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE THE NEXT MONTH! BY THE TIME YOU ARE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM YOU'VE PUT OUT MORE MONEY THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH AT THAT POINT! GET THESE ENGINES RECALLED AND GET THEM OFF THE ROADS. THEY'RE UNSAFE FOR DRIVERS, FAMILIES AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAYS! *TR
