Cpsc;2005 ford f-150 transmission and motor went out at 89446 miles. a diagnostic was performed. *bf the consumer stated after the transmission was replaced, the vehicles performance was not indicative of having been at a repair shop. the consumer returned to the dealer and another diagnostic was performed. the consumer was then informed the engine needed to be replaced. it was also determined the initial repairs were completed with salvaged/used parts. *jb
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.
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!
!. vacuum advance control for four wheel drive gets wet, looses pressure and front wheels engage slightly, causing wheel hub damage. 2. steering becomes hard, especially in cold weather. hard to inspect steering shaft until it is disconnected from steering rack. common problem with mid to late 2000's ford crown vic. police vehicles. come on ford, man up and make these problems a recall.
Takata recall at 80,000 miles f150 transmission went out. had it repaired now in less than 12,000 miles gone again.
Metal scraping sound from rear end. mechanic has checked and says pinion, bearings, ring gear have failed. looks like its a common failure. 9.75 ring gear, 3.55 ratio
