Consumer Description

TRUCK SHAKES VIGOROUSLY AT SPEEDS OVER 55MPH, CANNOT EXCEL IN FAST ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH CHILDREN IN VEHICLE! ENGINE CUTS OUT AND JERKS THE WHOLE VEHICLE. MISFIRING. CONTINUOUSLY HAVING TO GET TOWING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FAILS TO START ALL TOGETHER! THIS COULD LEAD TO INJURY, DEATH, ACCIDENTS NOT ONLY FOR THE DRIVER/PASSENGERS BUT OTHERS ON THE ROADS AS WELL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO ATTENTION IN THE FORD F-150 5.4L ENGINE MORE THAN SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES AND NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. YOU CAN FIND INFORMATION ALL OVER OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, THE FORD DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE OR TO SPEND THOUSANDS TO FIX IT AND THEY SEE PEOPLE BACK IN THERE WITHIN THE MONTH OF SPENDING GRANDS TO FIX IT. SOMETHING NEEDS DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOPLE END UP DYING IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR
