Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED MY FORD TRUCK FOR ALMOST 8 YEARS AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTHING BUT BAD LUCK WITH THIS ENGINE AND ME AND OTHER FORD OWNERS AGREE THAT THIS ENGINE IS 1 OF THE WORST ENGINES THAT FORD HAS PRODUCED AND THEY KNOW IT. AND ARE RELUCTANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND ITS COSTING ME THOUSANDS TO REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND CAMPHASERS. MY TRUCK NOW WILL STALL WHEN PUT IN REVERSE. IT ALSO HAS A LOUD TICKING NOISE TO IT. I KNOW ITS THE CAMPHASERS AGAIN WHICH I ALREADY REPLACE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO.THIS TRUCK IS COSTING ME MORE THAN ITS WORTH. I ONLY HAVE 85000 MILES ON IT. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. ME AND OTHER FORD OWNERS OF THIS MODEL CANT KEEP SLAMMING MONEY INTO SOMETHING THAT IS A COMPLETE FAILURE FROM THE START. THIS TRUCK IS DANGEROUS AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS SOLVED. *TR
