NHTSA Complaint #10864710 — 2005 FORD F-150

I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE COUNTRY, AND SOMETHING FELT ODD. AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE, (MORE THAN NORMAL) AND WAS THEN VANISH AFTER 55 MPH. AFTER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE SHAKING GOT WORSE. MY FIRST THOUGHT, "I HAVE A MISFIRE ON ONE OF MY CYLINDERS". ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK MY TRUCK THROUGH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I THEN PROCEEDED TO TAKE IT TO MY DEALER BECAUSE AT THIS POINT IT WOULD BARELY GO OVER 40 MPH. THEY CHECKED THE CODE AND TURNS OUT THAT THE TRUCK HAS A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS; THAT WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON THIS WEBSITE ARE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND ENGINE TYPE (5.4L V8 TRITTON). I NEED NEW VCT SOLENOIDS, NEW CAMPHASERS, TIMING ADJUSTMENTS, AND NEW CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSORS. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS TO THIS ENGINE, HAPPENED YET AGAIN. BAD CAM PHASERS. HAPPENED AROUND 138,4XX MILES. NOT SURE IF ANY PREVIOUS OWNER REPLACED THIS PART BEFORE OR NOT. BUT, IT SEEMS EVEN IF REPLACED, THE PROBLEM WILL STILL PERSIST IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS IN NEED OF RECALL.
