NHTSA Complaint #10789106 — 2007 FORD F-150

IN APRIL 2015 I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ENGINE KNOCKING ON MY 2007 FORD F-150 WHICH HAD 57,532 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ENDED UP SPENDING $3,080.79 TO REPLACE CAMSHAFT, SOLENOID, AND TIMING CHAINS. I WAS TOLD THIS WORK WAS GUARANTEED. NOW, LESS THAN 7 MONTHS LATER AT 61,452 MILES I BEGAN HEARING SQUEAKING AS I DRIVE. TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY TELL ME IT IS NOW THE HARMONIC BALANCER IS OUT AND EXCESSIVE CRANK SHAFT END PLAY. I AM TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO THE PRIOR REPAIR WORK SO I WILL HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER $3,000 OR MORE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS IS ALL AFTER I SPENT OVER $300 IN DECEMBER 2014 TO REPLACE THE INGNITION COILS. I DRIVE MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. WE PICKED UP VEHICLE WITHOUT REPAIRING IT THIS TIME SO WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
