I Purchased a 2007 F150 Larriott in May 2007.

I thought that I processed a perfect car - I was so excited. After three years and a little over 40,000 miles I started experiencing problems. While traveling on vacation on a road trip with my family, the engine started shaking and I started hearing like knocking from the engine. So I decided to take it to a Ford dealership in Mississippi to be diagnosed. The service department couldn’t find anything, so I went ahead and had another oil change as well as my spark plugs replaced because I did not want to have my family stranded on the road. After a short while the symptoms came back.

Throughout the following years I’ve had my truck engine repeatedly checked by Ford during my oil change, transmission and battery replacement services. In early 2019, the engine started shaking and the knocking loudly and started stalling when I came to a stop. I decided to take it to Ford 1 last time. So in July 2019 I took it to Ford to be diagnosed. After which, they said that it sounds like my timing chain and they suggest that I purchase a new motor from Ford totaling $9,500.00. I also discovered while sitting in the Ford dealership in speaking with the other Ford owners that was give me a car service and diagnosed I wasn’t the only one experiencing issues with the pick up trucks.

After this experience I would like to say Ford pick-ups are garbage. I would not recommend purchasing a Ford pick up of any kind. If you’re not convinced, please do your research when purchasing a Ford pick-up. This experience has caused me stress, time, and money.

This is a 2007 Ford F-150 with a 5.4 3 v motor with ticking and knocking from the phasers, timing chain, tensioners, and VCT's. Ford and the whole world knows about the problem and won't do anything. Next truck will be a GMC I should have listened to my friends.

Update from Aug 28, 2019: just had phasers, vct's timing chains guides and tensioners done at my local ford dealer

had a warranty that covered it but they won't pay for phasers or vct's even though it says they cover it

they said just because they are noisy knock and tapping doesn't mean it's bad

need to find some type of ford bulletin that say when they are noisy the need to be replace

I leased my ford F150XLT in 2007. purchased the lease. it had 51,000 when I purchased the lease. It has 90,000 miles on it now. The engine was knocking horribly at idle intermittently. Then the check engine light came on. My mechanic checked it and it is the cam phasers. $2500.00 to fix the problem. If I continued to drive it I would need to replace the engine. $5300. 00 for that!!

I bought out my lease thinking I had a reliable truck. Turns out I do not. Apparently from what I found out Ford knew of this issue, yet they sold the trucks anyways, hoping they would last past the warranty. Well, mine made it past the warranty now I'm screwed and stuck with a junk truck I will never get anything out of. If I knew about this issue I might have purchased a extended warranty.

All I am asking is Ford make it right. Either give me an extended warranty to cover the engine in the future and or give me some compensation to help offset my expense. But I imagine I am stuck. I just leased a 2018 Fusion for my wife to drive. My plan is to drive it til the end of the lease and walk away never to return as a Ford customer. I have had 4 trucks and now this car. Man to have to pay out $2500.00 just so I can drive it hurts. I am aware there are repairs due to normal wear and tear and was prepared to keep it up with regular maintenance and what needs to be done routinely not the issues that came up which are Ford's faulty manufacturing of a junk engine. A engine should last longer especially a truck.

I own a 2007 Ford F150 4x4 4 door crew cab. Bought the truck used from a car lot. The engine was acting up when I bought it so got it a reasonable price. The motor had a small knock in it at the time and I figured no big deal. Well 2 years later the knock is still there but much worse. I have changed the phasers, plugs and coils, oil pump, 02 sensors, to no avail. As a last resort I had the engine swapped out with another Ford F150 same year less miles. Guess what, not a good idea, the other motor knocks worse then the one replaced, and now it even dies when you have to stop at a light or intersection. I have been a Ford man since 1980, I should say "was" a Ford man. If I can unload this piece of crap I'm buying a Chevrolet. Maybe the Local Chevrolet dealer will give me a good deal since they hate Fords, like I do now!

I have had my truck since new 2007. I really loved this truck. In 2009 I was off on the road working and was headed home when my engine started knocking and oil pressure went to zero. I pulled off of the road and called Coastal Ford in Mobile Alabama. I explained the problem and was instructed to restart the engine. The engine purred like a kitten.

I got into Mobile to the dealership and the service Mgr. said he didn't hear a thing that sounded wrong. About the time he said that the engine really cut loose and started knocking and the oil pressure went to zero. They kept the truck and ran test. They said the cam phaser bearing needed to be replaced. That was $ 2,700.00. Got the truck back. Ran like a new truck again. About 3 weeks later the same thing happens again. Knocking, zero oil pressure.

Called Costal Ford again. They said let it sit a min and try to crank it up again. I did this it ran great. Took it into the dealership. They informed me that it needed a new engine. This was going to cost about $4,500.00. I ask if they were going to use the $2,700.00 against the $4,500.00 for the replacement. No was the answer I got. So I called Ford motor co. I ask if they had any problems like this with any other Ford trucks. Again the answer was NO!!! Well there were 3 other trucks sitting in the dealership service dept. with the same thing wrong. I had a NEW ENGINE installed in the truck. Every thing was great till 2017. Now this engine is knocking.

Ford can't tell me they haven't had any complaints. There are a lot of them on this site. They all say the same thing. All Ford Motor Company is doing is giving the business to Dodge, Chevrolet, GMC. This is so stupid on there half. Ford use to have great Customer service and a dependable vehicles.Now they have gone to SH*T like a lot of others. I wouldn't mind paying a higher price for quality. I payed about $ 45,000.00 for my truck and thought it was quality. but boy was I shafted.

Ford GET OFF OF YOUR ASS AND PRODUCE TRUCKS LIKE YOU USE TO. STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. THIS IS WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALL ABOUT.. NOW I want my DAMN TRUCK fixed right this time.

Needless to say, I've bought YET another piece of sh*t Ford. I first noticed this issue when I took my first test drive with my auto agent. We just got on the entrance ramp when the 07 Ford started to shake, feeling it thru the steering wheel. I told the agent and he quickly came to a response of ''oh, this road is pretty bad, it's the road causing that!'' So I thought nothing of it, UNTIL the next couple of days driving it around 75 miles per hr. It DID IT AGAIN!! even more noticeably. Okay, is this a bearing, driveshaft, U-joint?

So I took it in. I told them what it was doing, because by now it was shaking, knocking at an idle & at higher speeds. BUT, the worst day was when it was just crawling off a dead stop in the driveway & shook & knocked in the driveway so bad I immediately stopped exited & popped the hood & it sounded like a rod was ready to blow out of the engine& the engine was going to drop out of the truck right there!!!

This problem started several years ago, took the truck into the Ford dealership, could not get a diagnosis because of no check engine light. Later a check engine light came on and the reading was Converter and 02 Sensor 12 were bad, replaced them at a Ford Dealer $$$$. Less than 1 year later another check engine light came on, this one read fuel pump assembly, replace them. Now another check engine light, this was due to vehicle skipping, replaced the spark plugs and cleaned induction system. Now the engine is losing power and low oil pressure. With a 169,000 miles on this 5.4L FFV V8 engine is gone, the only solution is a new or rebuild engine, another 7,000.00. I am 66 years old and on a fix income with a truck worth $. Will I buy another Ford Truck NO.?

I bought this truck new actually a special order. For about 2 years the motor has had a little click. I have taken it to mechanics, changed all spark plugs and coils. Problem still exist. Now a few days ago the truck starting run badly. Couldn't get over 55 miles per hour. It even cut off a couple of times. Took it the FORD dealership and the service department tells me that the motor is gone. Needs replacing; however, was told that the 5.4 is a bad motor. Would cost roughly $5,000 and still couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't happen again. What kind of company sells something like this? I will never buy another FORD. The FORD Company says that it is the best truck around!!!! Yeah Right!!! FORD you need to fix your problems or stop selling this sh*t.

OK I bought myself this truck for my 31st birthday I was excited to get a bigger four door Ford because I have had several other ford trucks in the past with minimal issues.. After driving the truck for the weekend on the following Monday I heard a weird clicking or tapping sound. I took it directly back to the dealer that I bought it from, he advised me to take it to Ralphs Transmission in Vineland NJ. They changed the transmission screen. The dealer informed me that truck had recently been serviced (Tune-up) oil change tire rotations the whole nine yards.. After getting the truck checked out Ralphs told me the transmission screen had NEVER been changed before and that my transmission fluid was a bit low.. He also informed me that I had misfires in the spark plugs. So needless to say FORD wanted between 650-1100$ to do a tune up on this POS. I found a reputable Ford Mechanic who did it for 350$. 2 months after this tune up truck started shaking again and not shifting sounded like the damn motor was about to fall out of the truck. After reading all these descriptions for other complaints about the same problems I am very disapointed.. My grandfather only drives FORD LINCOLN MERCURY cars and trucks and I have always followed in his foot steps. I own a Ford car its a 2000 I have only had minor problems with that I fixed myself. This truck cost me 21,000 and quite frankly I cant believe ford will not fix there mistake. Obviously there is a problem just fix it and move on before the FORD name is gone forever. You are ruining alot of peoples mind sets and wallets for that matter. With this being my first newer truck and one of the most expensive things I have ever gotten for myself I am greatly disapointed. Ford for me has always been a dependable name and parts were everywhere and easy to find for almost all of these cars trucks and suvs. After extensive searching I am making a decision to NEVER buy a ford lincoln or mercury product ever again if they do not fix there error. If I get into an accident because the truck will not accelerate shift or stop.. I promise one thing and one thing only. There will be a lawsuit I just hooked up 3 cameras in this truck to watch every aspect of my driving. One to watch my speed and tachometers one to watch the road and another to watch me showing that I am doing nothing to the truck except driving it like a normal person does. I have two daughters that are normally with me when I am driving and if anything happens to them there is no place on this EARTH that they will be able to hide from me. Money wont be able to buy the lives of innocent people that will be lost due to your non compliance or repair of a faulty piece of sh*t engine and transmission.

After 2 weeks of trouble shooting and plugs replaced along with cam phaser and cam sensors replaced, my truck felt like it was not getting gas. When I stopped, it shook like a wet dog. I have always been a Ford truck gal, but after all I have read about the problems with the cam phaser, and the fact that FORD won't do a recall, I think I will give up on FORD products. The shop that did the work sent a wrecker to pick it up this morning. Don't know what kind of money it will cost to trouble shoot from here.
