Consumer Description

2004 FORD F-150 ENGINE IS BAD. THE 5.4 LITER ENGINE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED 3 YEARS AGO AND NOW THE ENGINE IS RUINED. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED AND ALSO CONSULTED WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS AND FOUND THAT THESE ENGINES WERE KNOWN FOR THE CAM PHASERS GOING BAD SO FORD STOPPED PUTTING THIS ENGINE IN THE VEHICLES IN 2007. THE LAST TIME I DROVE THIS VEHICLE AA I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE TRUCK CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE OWE $8,000 ON THIS FORD WHICH IS NOW NO FOOD. SITS IN OUR YARD. WE WANT ACTION. FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.
