2005 FORD F-150 Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, while the brake pedal was depressed, the brakes failed to engage; the contact pulled the vehicle into a Home Depot parking lot, exited the vehicle, and discovered that the engine compartment was on fire. The Home Depot employees came out to the vehicle and extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher. The Fire Department and Police Department were contacted; however, the contact was unsure if a report was filed for either department. The orgin of the fire was not confirmed however, the fire department informed that timing was critical because any longer the fire would have caused an explosion. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed back to the residence, and the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage...

My electrical fixtures have failed or blinks off and on, on its own.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, he smelled an abnormal fuel odor. Additionally, the contact stated that while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Pulled out of driveway and made it 50 feet and whole truck shut down right on the road. Could not make the vehical restart no click or anything dead right where it stopped. Could of caused an accident. Had to have truck taken to a shop they took a week to find out that the electrical fuel system harness had a dead short in it. So no fuel going to the feul injectors or to the key to start the vehical. Still have head lights and breaks and radio. Just no way to restart the vehical. They checked thw wires and after unplugging many wires to the fuel system and retesting it started. Left with the truck a day later the same thing happen but this time i had to jump a curb to avoid an accident and coasted into a parking lot. I got out and wiggled a few...

I BOUGHT USED CASH TRUCK, DROVE FINE FOR FIRST DAY, SECOND DAY WHILE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AND PUT IN REVERSE IT DIES, TOOK A COUPLE TURNS TO STARTED UP AND IT STARTED CODING THE CAMSAFT SENSORS, GOT CODES CLEARED, AND IT DROVE OK FOR 30 MINUTES COATED AGAIN STARTED TO STALL AND STUTTER A BIT. I HEARD A LOT ABOUT FORDS IN THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS DOES THAT MEAN MY TRUCK IS DONE FOR. MY TRUCK HAS TO CAMSHAFT SENSORS. 5.4

SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACK CONTINUE TO EJECT THEMSELVES FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD.(F150 BLOWN OUT SPARK PLUG). THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM AND HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON THE HWY., TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 30 MPH.

THE ENGINE TIMING SYSTEM FAILED CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP WITHOUT WARNING. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET. A FELLOW WHO HELPED PUSH THE TRUCK TO THECURB MENTIONED THE TRITON ENGINE IS 'KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM'.

HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR GARAGE TO HAVE STARTER REPLACED.ACCORDING TO REPAIR TECH.WHILE LIFTING TRUCK A LOT OF CRACKING SOUND S INSPECTION OF FRAME REVILED EXCESSIVE RUSTING AND CRACKS .THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME TRUCK WAS UN SAFE TO USE.HAVE BILLS WITH STATEMENTS MADE BY REPAIR SHOP.

MY TRUCK IS RATTLING BAD AND ITS THE TIMING CHAIN FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE OIL SEALS ON THE TENSIONERS START LEAKING CAUSING THEM TO NOT KEEP THE CHAIN TIGHT LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND ALSO FAILS TO PUSH OIL AROUND TO THE RIGHT SIDE CAM WHICH CAUSES IT TO FAIL. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE INJURIES IF THE TRUCK STALLS OUT. ALSO THE SPARK PLUGS BLOW OUT OF THE HEADS CAUSING VERY HIGH REPAIR BILLS. THIS ALSO COULD CAUSE A ACCIDENT RESULTING IN DEATH. FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT YET HAS DONE NOTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT. FORD SHOULD STAND BEHIND THERE MISTAKE AND MAKE IT RIGHT FIX OR REPLACE THE ENGINE NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS BECAUSE THEY KNEW ABOUT IT. MY TRUCK REPAIRS WILL COST OVER $7000 DOLLARS TO FIX BECAUSE FORD...

ENGINE TAPPING WHEN WARM ONLY AT IDLE DOESN'T DO IT WHILE COLD OR WHILE DRIVING I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID IT'S DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW WITH FORD 5.7 ENGINES.

WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 40, VEHICLE WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE (HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES). SUBSEQUENTLY, ENGINE BEGAN WITH A TICKING NOISE WITH EVER INCREASING RATTLING/SHAKING TO A POINT THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE STOPPING OR IDLING IN CITY TRAFFIC. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED ALL COILS & PLUGS, THROTTLE BODY, FUEL FILTER, ETC. VEHICLE RAN FINE FOR SIX MONTHS, HOWEVER THE RATTLING, KNOCKING, SHAKING, SURGING, STALLING HAVE RETURNED TWO FOLD. VEHICLE IS NOW EXPERIENCING A MASSIVE OIL LEAK FROM THE ENGINE. HAD IT CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIRS (BUT DID COMPLETE AN OIL CHANGE). FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE ISSUES. THESE ISSUES ARE NOT JUST INCONVENIENT AND EXPENSIVE BUT MORTALLY DANGEROUS TO THE PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO ANYONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. STEP UP FORD!

1. BRAKE DOT 3 IS RUNNING OUT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE RUNNING, I MUST PUSH DOWN THE BRAKE VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REFILL THE OIL TANK. 2. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE SPEED REACHES AT AROUND 45-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY LOSES POWER AND HIT AT 3-5 MPH BEFORE STOPPING. AFTER I COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND RESET THE BATTERY, THE VEHICLE STARTS NORMAL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE HAPPENED FROM 2009 TO CURRENT TIME, BUT THE ODB SCAN DOES NOT DETECT ANY CODE OR ERRORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT IDLED AND THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL LEAK AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE IGNITION COILS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 184,994.

LETTER FROM THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL STATE OF ILLINOIS ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REGARDING HIS 2005 FORD F150 FORD TRUCK AND A FAULTY ENGINE WHICH WAS NOT DISCLOSED BY THE COMPANY. *LD *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, IT SHOOK WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART WHEN PROMPTED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000. *TT

VEHICLE STALLS AND OR SURGES AND HAS DEAD SPOTS. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE THE ISSUE IT STILL PERSISTS. LOOKING ON LINE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.2005 -2008 F 150 5.4. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TOWING A TRAILER MY WIFE HAS ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENTS A COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE TOWING A HORSE TRAILER AND IS NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. SPOKE TO FORD BUT NO REAL RESPONSE. I THINK THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT FURTHER ESPECIALLY WHEN CONSIDERING PEOPLE DO TOW WITH THEIR TRUCKS AND IT AMPLIFIES THIS ISSUE. THANKS MARIO .

FORD HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THEIR 2005 5.4L ENGINES IN THE F-150 TRUCKS. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 07M08. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED FUEL INJECTOR FAILURES BUT FAILED TO COVER THE RESULT OF THOSE FAILURES. I LOST SEVERAL INJECTORS WHICH RESULTED IN "DAMAGE TO OTHER POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS." THOSE COMPONENT WERE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND FUEL CONSUMPTION INCREASED AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS CONTINUED TO FAIL. EMISSION TESTING WAS NEVER PERFORMED OF THIS VEHICLE. I CAN BE ASSUMED THAT EMISSION TESTING WOULD HAVE FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER THE 07M08 COVERAGE.

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE LEAKING AND CAUSING EXHUST FUMES TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. TRUCK HAS APROX 120,000, ISSUE STARTED AT AROUND 80,000. IT'S AT THE POINT NOW WHERE IT MAKES PEOPLE IN THE TRUCK SICK AND IT WON'T PASS STATE INSPECTION. CAM PHASERS MAKE NOISES AS WELL. WO KNOW WHEN THIS ENGINE WILL FAIL. COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE 5.4 V8 ENGINE. WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET.

PURCHASED FORD F150 FROM OLD SAYBROOK FORD, FEB. 16. THE TRUCK HAS THE 5.4 ENGINE WHICH HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF ENGINE FAILURE. DRIVING ON ROUTE 1 WHEN TRUCK ECCELORATES OR LOSES POWER. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK THE CHAIN GUIDE WAS BROKE AND EATING THROUGH THE CASE. SPARK PLUGS GET STUCK IN ENGINE OR PROPEL THEM SELVES THROUGH THE TRUCK HOOD. DANGEROUS ENGINE TO HAVE ON ROAD. I OWE 8000.00 ON A TRUCK THAT NOW NEEDS 4-6000 WORTH OF WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. ALSO, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS STARTED, A TICKING TYPE NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL UNKNOWN DEALER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,600.

FOLLOWING PURCHASE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP WITH A TUNE UP AND MILAGE RELATED SERVICE COMPLETED MY 2005 FORD F150 RAN FOR LESS THAN 6000 MILES BEFORE A STUCK FUEL INJECTOR CAUSED A FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. AT THE TIME I WAS COMING TO A STOP UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS FOLLOWING A 18 MILE COMMUTE FROM MY PREVIOUS STOP. A METALLIC SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE DRIVE BECAME SHAKY AND WEAK IN ACCELARATION. I PROCEEDED 4 BLOCKS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM.THE FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR WHICH WAS UNDETECTED UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE AND RESULTING DAMAGE TO ENGINE COMPONENTS. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED BY OTHER FORD OWNERS ONLINE WILL COST MY FAMILY OVER $6000 WITHOUT A RECALL ON THE PARTS KNOWN TO FAIL WIDELY IN THESE VEHICLES.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF MY 2005 FORD F-150 XLT 5.4L 3V 4X4 CREW CAB (VIN# AVAILABLE ON REQUEST) AND THERE IS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I CAN HEAR THE NOISE WHILE IDLING IN DRIVE, IDLING IN REVERSE, IDLING IN NEUTRAL, IDLING IN PARK AND TRAVELING UNDER LOW THROTTLE AND/OR POWER IN ANY GEAR(IT IS ESPECIALLY LOUD WHEN THE ECHOES BOUNCE OFF OF A HARD-SIDED BUILDING, SUCH AS A DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANT). THE EVENTS LEADING TO MY BREAKDOWN ON A BUSY ACCELERATION RAMP ARE AS FOLLOWS: MY VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL POWER ON AN ACCELERATION RAMP, SLOWING ME DOWN TO A CRAWL. IT ALSO CAUSED MASSIVE OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH RESULTED IN ROAD SPILLAGE, CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR ME AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME. I'VE DONE SOME INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND HAVE PERSONALLY HAD THIS ISSUE FIXED ONCE. I'VE HAD IT FIXED AT...

VEHICLE WENT INTO "FAILSAFE" MODE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR! AND MOST RECENTLY, TWO WEEKS AGO! BOTH AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON TWO DIFFERENT INTERSTATES IN FLORIDA! VERY DANGEROUS, AND HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO "LIMP" TO A SAFE PLACE TO STOP! MANY POSSIBLE CAUSES FROM ELECTRICAL, FUEL, OR ENGINE ISSUES THAT ARE WELL DOCUMENTED ON MANY INTERNET SITES AND F150 FORUMS! ALSO RUST ISSUES ON ROOF OF VEHICLE IN RAIN CHANNELS! VERY COMMON,AND VERY POOR DESIGN!

MY 2005 F150 XLT 4.6L ENGINE BLEW OUT THE #3 SPARK PLUG. THIS IS A TERRIBLE INCONVENIENCE AND FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF "NO WHERE", A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, COULD EVEN BE LIFE THREATENING AND YET FORD WILL NOT OWN UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR INADEQUATE DESIGN. TO THINK THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AT ANY TIME AND LEAVE ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF "NO WHERE" IS VERY FRIGHTENING AND COULD BE DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING. THIS COULD PROVE VERY COSTLY AT $280 A PLUG..

I WAS DRIVING IN MY 2005 FORD F-150 5.4 WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE I'M DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. JUST RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING WHEN I STARTED TO LOOSE POWER, BUT THIS TIME STARTED HEAR A LOUD BANGING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I DROVE THE TRUCK WITH ALMOST NO POWER TO THE MECHANIC. THERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT A CAM SHAFT ISSUE. AS THEY UNCOVERED THE ENGINE II WAS TOLD I WOULD A NEW ENGINE AT THE COST OF $7500. AS I LATER WENT ONLINE I FOUND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING WITH FORD 5.4 ENGINES. IT SEEMS TO ME FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO STAND BY THEIR PROBLEM. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTANANCE SINCE HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I LOVE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A LOUD NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CAM PHASER ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CAM PHASER, SOLENOID, AND TENSIONER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED WITH AN EVEN LOUDER NOISE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND MISFIRED, AND SMOKE COULD BE SEEN COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INITIALLY DIAGNOSED A FUEL LEAK FROM THE EXHAUST. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT INJECTOR NUMBER 7 WAS NOT CLOSING CORRECTLY AND CAUSING THE FUEL TO ENTER THE CYLINDER. AS A RESULT, THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL ON THE INJECTORS. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION LAST YEAR. JUST BLEW OUT OF NO WHERE. THIS YEAR ALONE I NEEDED NEW HUBS, ALL8 CYLINDERS HAVE A MISS FIRE MY TRUCK DROPPED FROM 60 TO TEN IN SECONDS SO SCARY

BOUGHT TRUCK NEW, HAS AN ENGINE TICKING THAT CONTINUES TO GET LOUDER. PROPERLY SERVICED AS PER OWNERS MANUAL. ENGINE NEEDS REPLACED PER MECHANIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING INTIMITTENTLY THEN THE ENGINE AND MAINTANENENCE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR FILTER WAS OUTDATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

TRUCK WAS BOUGHT AND I REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND EVEN HAD TO REPLACE A CLINOID BECAUSE WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. ITS NOT... THERE IS A BALL VALVE IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT KEEPS THE TRUCK FROM BUILDING ENOUGH PRESSURE TO BE ABLE TO SHIFT WHICH THROWS A CODE AND SAYS MISFIRE ON 6 BEEN REPLACED TWICE NOW SO CLEARLY NOT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE.. TRUCK FEELS AS IF FIXING TO FIE THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON START FLASHING BUT THROW NO CODES AND YOU CANT SPEED BACK UP BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE YOUR TRUCK IS ABOUT TO DIE AND YOU DON'T WANT TO BLOW YOUR MOTOR.

BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AT 150000 MILES. AFTER 5000 MILES THE LOUD TICKING THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE KNOWN FOR BECAME LOUDER. AT 161000 MILES THE ENGINE DIED. I STARTED IT UP IN MY DRIVEWAY ONE MORNING AND INSTEAD OF JUST TICKING, IT WAS KNOCKING 100X LOUDER. THE TRUCK BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THEN IT JUST DIED. ALL THIS HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP, AND THEY SAID I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK IF I WAS DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED, WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE ONLINE SAYING SIMILAR THINGS. FORD IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL WAS ISSUED. THAT IS IRRESPONSIBLE, AND VERY DANGEROUS ON FORD'S PART.

#8 CYLINDER SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND TORQUED. FOUR DAYS LATER #8 PLUG BLEW OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING.

BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM SUPPLY METAL STAND PIPE RUPTURED. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF VACUUM AND LOSS OF ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND BRAKES WERE SLUGGISH. HAVE TO PUSH ALL WAY TO FLOOR.

WHILE DRIVING 75 ON A TOLL ROAD THE ENGINE WENT INTO ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE, I LOST ALL POWER AND ALMOST WRECKED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER, I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, 3 DAYS LATER SAME THING, I WAS TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MOTOR 5.4, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS ??

5.4 3V TRITON. WHEN THE TRUCK IS AT IDLE AT A NORMAL OPERATING TEMP, IT HAS A HORRIBLE KNOCKING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. FROM WHAT I AM READING THIS ENGINE HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE CAM PHASERS AND TIMING COMPONENTS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TIMING CHAIN IS ABOUT TO FLY OUT OF THE ENGINE. I HOPE MY TRUCK DOESN'T GIVE OUT ON ME BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED. I BOUGHT A FORD FOR RELIABILITY, BUT UNTIL THIS IS FIXED I FEEL IT'S UNRELIABLE. I HAVE USED A FULL SYN OIL AND THE RIGHT MOTORCRAFT 820S FILTER. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND FORD NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM OVER AND OVER! RECALL THIS FORD!

TRUCK BEGAN TICKING VERY LOUDLY, THEN BEGAN A KNOCKING NOISE, AND NOW THE ENGINE SHAKES THE TRUCK WHEN IDLING. CAM PHASERS BROKE APART CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TIMING CHAIN. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE AS WELL AS INABILITY TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHILE ASCENDING AN INCLINE IS FREQUENT. THE LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER HAS CAUSED US SEVERAL CLOSE-CALL ACCIDENTS. TRUCK WILL SIMPLY NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. ADDITIONALLY, IT ALSO FEELS LIKE THE TRUCK CANNOT CATCH GEARS WHILE IN MOTION.

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 FORD F-150. THE STATED WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED HE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM PHASER, THE BEARING AND THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BACKFIRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

I DRIVE A 2005 5.4 TRITON AND AFTER 110000 MILES THE ENGINE HAS DIED. THE MECHANIC STATES ITS THE CAM PHASER AND I'VE SEEN SEVERAL WEBSITES COMPLAINING THE SAME ISSUE.

PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH 85,000. WHICH IS TYPICALLY A GOOD BREAK-IN POINT FOR A TRUCK. WELL AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE HOME FOR LESS THAN A MONTH I'VE NOTICED A TICKING IN THE ENGINE. A TICKING THAT I KNEW LITTLE ABOUT UNTIL FURTHER RESEARCH INTO THESE VEHICLES. SEEMS THAT ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE IN THE WORLD I'VE PURCHASED A FORD LEMON. THE ENGINES RARELY MAKE IT PAST 75,000-100,000. FORD AS A WHOLE ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND DELIBERATELY FIND WAYS AROUND HAVING TO TAKE THE LIABILITY ON. THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THE TICKING IS 1,500 IN REPAIRS OF THE CAM PHASER, WHICH IN A TIMELY MANNER MELTS LIKE BUTTER OR REPLACE IT WITH A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE ONLY TO ENCOUNTER THE SAME ISSUE. WHETHER OR NOT THIS VEHICLE IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AN ENGINE SHOULD...

MY TRUCK HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 5.4L'S CAM PHASERS. THE TRUCK MAKES A VERY LOUD NOISE AND SHAKES. TO REPAIR THIS, IT'S AROUND $3,000 AND ALSO I HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL 8 COILS WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $1,200 AND A KNOWN MISFIRE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY FORD MOTOR IS AWARE OF THE ONGOING ISSUES IN THIS YEAR TRUCK AND HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO IF THE CAM PHASERS ARE NOT REPLACED THE ENGINE WILL BLOW!

ENGINE STARTED TICKING ENDED UP BEING CAM PHASERS AND NEEDED NEW MOTOR FORD KNOWS ITS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL ENGINE WEAR WHICH I FIND HARD TO BELIEVE AT 100,000MILES WITH RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE DONE TO VEHICLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WOULD BE THE BEST FOR ALL INVOLVED WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PRODUCT 7000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE MOTOR.

KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL INJECTORS CAUSED PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AT 45K MI. TOO MUCH FUEL WHEN COMPRESSED AND IGNITED BLEW THE PISTON APART. FORD REPLACED ENGINE. 80K MILES LATER SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND RECOMMENDATION IS ANOTHER ENGINE. TWO 5.4L ENGINES WITH LESS THAN 130K OVERALL MILES IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. WEB SEARCHES SAY THERE IS CURRENT LITIGATION IN PROGRESS OVER THESE 5.4L ENGINES. I'M MAKING A FORMAL COMPLAINT THAT THE BASIS OF THE LAWSUIT HAS MERIT. FORD HAS ALREADY SETTLED A SUIT OVER THE SPARK PLUGS FOR THESE 5.4L BUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE ENGINES GOES MUCH DEEPER. I'M THANKFUL MY ENGINE FAILURES HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL INCIDENT.

F-150 BEGAN WITH A TICKING NOISE AND TURNED INTO A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE, VEHICLE LOOSES POWER OR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED COIL PACKS, AND SPARK PLUGS (ONE BROKE OFF DUE TO HORRIBLE DESIGN). BASICALLY, HAD TO TAKE APART THE ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACING SEVERAL PARTS TO STILL NOT HAVE A DRIVABLE VEHICLE. MECHANIC JUST INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. THANK YOU FORD I OWE ABOUT $8000 ON THIS POS. I HAVE ALREADY SUNK $1200 INTO THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOW BE LOOKING AT OVER $5000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. *TR

THE PHASERS AND TUNERS ARE SHOT INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE IT STARTED TO MAKE NOISE WHILE MOVING

I PURCHASED MY 2005 F150 WITH A 5.4L TRINITRON ENGINE USED IN 2010. I COMPLETED ALL REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE USING THE RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS, MOST OF IT DONE IN FORD DEALERSHIPS. THIS 5.4L ENGINE IS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. I HAD A SAFETY INSPECTION DONE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT PASSED EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE AND I HAD HESITATION AND LOSS OF POWER. REPLACE SPARK PLUGS, I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 98,000 MILES! THIS ENGINE IS A PIECE OF JUNK! FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND ITS' "BUILT FORD TOUGH" TRUCKS AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. I CANT ENJOY MY TRUCK!!!

I PURCHASED MY 2005 F150 WITH A 5.4L TRINITRON ENGINE NEW IN 2005. I COMPLETED ALL REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE USING THE RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS, MOST OF IT DONE IN FORD DEALERSHIPS. THIS 5.4L ENGINE IS A POOR DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT HAS NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. I HAD A SAFETY INSPECTION DONE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND IT PASSED EVEN THOUGH IT HAD A TICKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE AND I HAD HESITATION AND LOSS OF POWER. AT THAT POINT, I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 62,000 MILES! NOW AT 105,000 MILES THE PLASTIC CAMPHASERS BROKE APART, THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND THE ENGINE IS BLOWN!! THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A FORD TRUCK TO LAST THAT LONG AND HAVE THAT MANY PROBLEMS. THIS ENGINE IS A PIECE OF JUNK! FORD NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND ITS' "BUILT FORD TOUGH" TRUCKS AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD.

THE TRUCK HAS A TICKING SOUND INSIDE THE ENGINE. I HAVE HAD THAT NOISE SINCE I BOUGH IT. 3 YEARS AGO I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THIS YEAR ON NOVEMBER 4, I TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM. ITS A BENT ROD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAVE WILL NOT COVER ITUNLESS THE KNOW THE CAUSE OF IT. SO FORD IS SAYING ITS A DEFECTED PART. INSURANCE WONT COVER IT AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR IT!! IF ITS A DEFECTED PART, DON'T YOU THINK FORD SHOULD PAY!!
