NHTSA Complaint #11283128 — 2010 FORD F-150

THE NORMAL CAMSHAFT PHASER ISSUES ARE OCCURRING. LOUD KNOCKING, VIBRATING WHILE IDLING, AND GENERAL RATTLING FROM THE MOTOR WHEN THE TRUCK ISN'T ABOVE 1000 RPM'S. WHILE THIS MAY NOT DIRECTLY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, IN INTENSE RATTLING AND KNOCKING CAN CAUSE OTHER ISSUES TO ARISE WHICH IN TURN CAN CAUSE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE NHTSA. IF FORD DOESN'T DECIDE TO TAKE ON THIS ISSUE AND REPAIR IT, THEN IT CAN BE EXPECTED THAT EVERY 3 VALVE FORD MOTOR MADE SINCE 2005 WILL EVENTUALLY SUCCUMB TO THESE MAJOR ISSUES. AS WE ALL KNOW FORD HAS HAD ISSUES DESIGNING MOTORS IN THE PAST, PRIMARILY THE 6.0, 6.4 AND 5.4 MOTOR THAT I CURRENTLY OWN, BUT IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THE MECHANICAL PROBLEMS THAT THEIR DESIGNERS NEGLIGENCE CAUSED. IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT AN AUTO MANUFACTURER STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES THE FAULTY PART WHEN THE TIME COMES. ADDITIONALLY IN THE PART YOU WHEREIN YOU ASKED FOR THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT, I WILL PUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING AND YOU SHOULD EXPECT KNOCKING AND VIBRATION EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE.
