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.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE AFTER BUYING IT NEW IN OCTOBER 2007, IN OCTOBER 2009 THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER STOPPED WORKING WAS REPAIRED AND AGAIN MONTHS LATER STOPPED WORKING. THE WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING A TOTAL OF SIX TIMES WITH THREE OF THOSE BEING THIS YEAR. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE AND THE LAST TIME , ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE WEEKS AGO I INSTRUCTED THE WORKER TO JUST LET THE WINDOWS UP AND DISCONNECT THEM AFTER BEING TOLD THAT I NEEDED A COMPLETE NEW WIRING HARNESS WHICH WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE WIRING WAS BRITTLE AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F 150. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD POSE A DANGER IN AN EMERGENCY ESCAPE SITUATION AS WELL AS OTHER PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM ALSO INVOLVE THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING SYSTEM WHICH IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD, I CAN GET NO REAL RESPONSE FROM FORD.

THE PROBLEM FIRST SHOWED UP AT 42256 MILES AND HAS SINCE RESURFACED TWICE EVEN AFTER EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THE WORRISOME PART IS THAT THE WEB IS FILLED WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ENGINE WHICH IS ALSO IN EXPEDITIONS AND CROWN VICTORIAS AND PROBABLY OTHER FORD VEHICLES.

BOUGHT THE T07 F150 AT 28K AND AT 61K THIS HAPPENED. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW GEAR 2ND THE ENGING CHUGGED A LITTLE ( LKE AN OLD DIESAL) TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE SMALL OIL SEAL BEHIND THE CAM. THEY WAS GOING TO CHARGE BE 5600 FOR A NEW ENGINE. THEY TRIED LIKE HE11 TO GET ME TO SAY I DIDNT HAVE THE OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. I NEVER BACKED DOWN, THEN REMINDED THEM THAT I HAD BOUGHT THE $2700.00 EXTENDED WARRENTY (WHICH I USUALLY NEVER DID) THEY BAUKED AND CRIED. BUY SAID THAT THEY WOULD FIND ANOTHER USED ENGINE, THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY FOUND ONE FOR 3500 (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) I BEGAN A LONG SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND A REBUILD FOR LESS AND GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION. THEY DECIDED TO GO WITH THAT. THEY ORDERED THE ENGINE AND INSTALLED IT ( WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW THE REPLACEMENT HAD THE SAME PROB) THEY HAD TO PULL THAT ENGINE AND GET ANOTHER FROM THE COMPANY . TOOK AN EXTRA WEEK AND GOT THE TRUCK BACK ITS NOW AT 100K AND STILL RUNS WELL (SO I KNOW IT WASNT MY DRIVING) SO IT HAD TO BE THE INCORRECT PLACEMENT OF THAT SEAL FROM THE DEALER, WHICH WOULD LEAKED HOT OIL ONTO THE ENGINE AND CAUSE A FIRE. I LOOKED AT THE ORIGIONAL PAPER WORK THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE TH ORIGIONAL WIRING HARNESS BEFORE IT EVEN LEFT THE FACTORY.

WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY A LOUD POP SOUND WAS HEARD AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO MAKE THE BREAK-DOWN LANE. THE SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE #3 CYLINDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOTOR. 4.6L V8. THESE WERE FACTORY PLUGS AND THE VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED EVERY 3000-5000 MILES.

VEHICLE HAS STOPPED RUNNING GOING DOWN THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES. IT DOES THIS UNEXPECTEDLY, AND I LET IT COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND IT CRANKS UP. I DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. IT NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT IN TRAFFIC. I NEVER INTEND TO BUY ANOTHER FORD.
