Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED, THE PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED 3 TIMES, THE IGNITION COILS HAVE ALL BEEN CHANGED. THE IS AN INTERMITTENT MISFIRE WHICH IS UNEXPLAINED. FORD DOES NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THE GHOSTS IN THIS MACHINE. UPON SEARCHING THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE IN THE F-150 ECOBOOST, I HAVE FOUND THAT I AM NOT ALONE, HOWEVER WAS UNLUCKY THAT MINE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I DO MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. MOST CASES ONLINE ARE UNDER 90,000 MILES. IT IS ABSURD FOR A VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE THESE KIND OF ISSUES WITH THE HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS IS ALSO THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS BEING SUPPLIED TO OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN FORD INTERCEPTOR AND EXPLORER MODELS. I AM SURE THIS ISSUE WOULD BECOME ESCALATED THE MOMENT AN OFFICER CANNOT PURSUE A VEHICLE BECAUSE OF MISFIRES AND BAD TIMING. *TR
