NHTSA Complaint #10630419 — 2007 FORD F-150

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW. AT APPROX. 22000, I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED A SHAKE, RATTLE AND ROLL. IN LESS THAN 1/4 MILE, THE ENGINE LOCKED BUT I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS LATE SATURDAY BUT AFTER 2-3 HOURS FOUND A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND LEFT IT THEIR BACK LOT. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT WEEK THAT FORD WANTED THE ENGINE BACK INTACT. AFTER AROUND THREE WEEKS AND $800+ FOR A RENTAL I GOT THE TRICK BACK WITH A NEW ENGINE. 2800 MILES LATER, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. MY WARRANTY WAS OUT ON TIME BUT FORD DID REPLACE THE ENGINE AGAIN BUT I WAS OUT THE RENTAL CAR--AGAIN $800+. THIS WAS SOME 6 MONTHS BACK AND ALL IS OK FOR NOW BUT I WAS TOLD IF THE ENGINE BLOWS AGAIN FORD WILL NOT COVER IT. AND ON THE 2ND REPLACEMENT (3RD TOTAL) ENGINE THAT PISTONS WERE IN THE OIL PAN. 5.4 ENGINE. *TR
