47000 MILES ON TRUCK. BOTH CATALYST CONVERTERS HAVE FAILED WITHIN 1000 MILES DUE TO THE WAY THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED. INTERNALS OF CONVERTERS HAVE TWO ELEMENTS IN WHICH REAR ELEMENT APPEARS TO JUST BE CEMENTED IN AND WILL COME LOOSE INTERNALLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT CAN ROTATE INSIDE HOUSING AND NOT LET EXHAUST GASES EXHAUST CORRECTLY CAUSING LOSS OF POWER.

FORD'S 5.4L 3 VALVE ENGINES INSTALLED IN THEIR 2004-2010 TRUCKS HAVE, UNFORTUNATELY, ESTABLISHED A REPUTATION FOR PREMATURE FAILURE. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLE'S REPORT HEARING A TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF POWER AND OFTEN A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT THE CAUSE OF THESE ISSUES IS USUALLY ATTRIBUTED TO A FAILURE OF THE CAM PHASERS AND EXCESSIVE OIL CLEARANCE IN THE CAM JOURNALS. MY VEHICLE SHUT OFF MID DRIVE AND HAS HAD ALL ISSUES DESCRIBED ABOVE. IT STARTED WITH THE TICKING NOISE FIRST THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEXT AND THEN MAJOR LOSS OF POWER. THAT WENT ON FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE FIRST TIME IT SHUT OFF MID DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE HAS VERY ROUGH SHIFTS, AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHILE STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR SMALL TIME, THE VEHICLE JERKS WITH A ROUGH SHIFT. ALSO WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED ON A HIGHWAY SUCH AS 55-70 THE VEHICLE BEINGS TO SHAKE MORE SO THE TRANSMISSION AREA AS THOUGH THE GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AND AS THIS OCCURS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

WAS DRIVING MY F-150 TO WORK ON A CITY STREET AT A LOW SPEED LESS THAN 35 MPH WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED. IT COASTED TO WORK, WHEN I GOT OFF I PUT OIL IN IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE NEARLY HOME. ONCE I GOT HOME ALMOST TO MY DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THERE WERE ISSUES WITH SPARK PLUG NUMBER 2. I REPLACED IT AND NOW THERE IS A HOLE IN THE PISTON AND A DROPPED VALVE. THIS VEHICLE IS NEEDING A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. DIAGNOSED BY DIERS FORD. VEHICLE NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, THE CONTACT READ THAT THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD DUE TO A LACK OF THREAD IN THE CYLINDER TO HOLD THE SPARK PLUG UNDER PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. FREEDOM FORD LINCOLN INC (151 WOODLAND DR SW, WISE, VA 24293, (866) 680-5107) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

ON MY TRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS RUSTED AND THE REAR BOLTS HAVE RUSTED OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED THE MANIFOLD TO LEAK RIGHT AT THE EXHAUST PORT. THIS LEAK FILLS THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE WITH EXHAUST FUMES. IT IS ALSO LEAKING PRE-CATALYST EXHAUST. THE FUELS IN THE CAB ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND WELL AS AN EMISSIONS ISSUE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON FORD TRUCKS OF THIS ERA. TALKING TO FORD ABOUT THIS THEY OFFER A VERY SMALL DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE IF I HAVE IT DONE AT THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD TRUCKS FOR YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE. MY TRUCK IS A 2010 FORD F150 WITH 106,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. UPON INSPECTION, FUSE #27 BURNED OUT INSTEAD OF BLOWING. THIS FUSE CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP, AND WHEN IT BURNED UP THE FUEL PUMP LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. UPON RESEARCH IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2009-2014 YEAR MODELS AND FORD ISSUED A TSB BUT NOT A RECALL. I HADN'T KNOWN ABOUT THIS WHEN PURCHASING THE TRUCK USED, AND IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

MY 2010 4.6 2WD SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AT 40MPH ON THE STREET. I'VE CHANGED SO MANY THINGS AND NOW JUST ORDERED THOTTLE BODY YO SEE IF IT HELPS. NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY FORD BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE ACCIDENTS WITH MY KIDS INSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WAS UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JOHN LEE NISSAN (LOCATED AT 120 E 23RD ST, PANAMA CITY, FL 32405, (850) 888-4611) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY AS THE ON COMING TRAFFIC SPEED LIMIT IS 50MPH, I'M PULLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS ON THIS BUSY ROAD AS I ACCELERATED MY 2010 F150 FX4 SUPER CREW CAB "WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK I MIGHT ADD" THE TRUCK JUST DOWN SHIFTS AND IT SLAMS ME AND MY FAMILY FORWARD "LIKE I HIT A TREE GOING 30MPH" THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND A SYMBOL OF A WRENCH POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. WITH NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BREAKS, NO WAY TO SAFELY MOVE THE TRUCK OFF THE ROAD AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE TRAFFIC I WAS TRYING TO AVOID WAS PASSING ME GOING AT LEAST 50MPH ALMOST GETTING REAR ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS AND SEMI TRUCKS, I PUSH THE FLASHERS ON AND PRAY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENS AND COAST UNTIL THE TRUCK FINALLY COMES TO A STOP AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. I GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AFTER THE GROUP OF VEHICLES PASS BY AND INSPECTED TO SEE IF THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN UP OR LEAKING FLUID AND NOTHING AT THIS POINT SO I'M STRESSED OUT BECAUSE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE VERY WELL DIED AND THERE IS NO PROOF OF THIS WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK NO SYMBOLS WAS PRESENT WHEN INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. I KEEP TELLING THE MECHANIC THAT IT HAS NO POWER ANY MORE, IT SOOOOO SLUGGISH I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK MUCH ANYMORE, ONLY ON SHORT TRIPS TO THE STORE. WE HAD TO CANCEL OR VACATION AND CANCEL THE PURCHASE OF A CAMPER FOR OUR VACATION. I'M SORRY BUT IF FORD WAS A REAL SYMBOL OF SAFETY AND SECURITY OF ITS OWNERS THIS WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE WOULD IDLE LOUDLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM PHASER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,796.

11/29/18 WILL BE THE 6TH TIME MY ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND MAKING A TURN. OTHER 5 INCIDENTS WERE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. EACH OCCASION, SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP, ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN, AND I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE PRESSING BRAKES, STARTS UP, AND I KEEP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. 122K MILES, LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS HAS ME VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY RIDING IN THE TRUCK. I LOOKED UP ANY RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND ANYTHING REGARDING THIS. F-150 FORUMS HAVE THE EXACT SAME INCIDENTS AND WHEN TAKING TO FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE LET ME KNOW MY OPTIONS OF GETTING FORD TO DO SOMETHING.

5.4 & 4.6 3 VALVE ENGINE TAPPETT NOISE WHEN HOT ON MULTIPLE TRUCKS &SUV OCCURS JUST AFTER WARRANTIES ON MULTIPLE YEARS 2005 - 2012 THIS IS THE SECOND FORD I PURCHASED AND SHORTLY AFTER NOISE BEGINS
