Truck loosing power and tapping and knocking noise, was told it is phazers and timing chains and vct's and could just stop running while driving if the phazers lock up. now i feel unsafe driving it has 1700000 miles and ford is not standing behind even tho i have talked to dozens of people that have the same problem.

Engine ticking, from prior reports looks to be a common issue, also when filling up with gas it seems to have back pressure and keeps turning the pump off.
I bought a 2007 ford f15 fx4 truck a years ago, and took it to ford to asked them about the ticking noise coming from engine. they told me that it was normal on the 5.4 triton. about a week ago the ticking got louder and i looked up problems online, and found that there is a design flaw in the engine that causes cam phasers to fail, and oil pressure drops to zero. ford knows about the problem, but when i called they told me that i need to replace the engine, and that it would be on me. i looked on several ford forums and found that there are 1000's of people talking about this. is it going to take someone getting killed before ford owns up to there problems! they are ignoring the issue and having the consumer pay aywhere from 3500- 8000 dollars to repair this issue. also, the engine has very bad power loss and shakes vigouresly when warm and pulling up to stop or reverse.

While driving my truck suddenly lost power and shifted into "limp home mode" while the wrench and check engine light came on. this happened to me a few year back as well so i immediately assumed it was the throttle body or sensor going bad. i brought into the ford dealership who confirmed to me it was the throttle body that went out. this is now the 3 throttle body that my truck had had (9 years old and 130,000 miles). after doing research i saw where ford had this same issue with other model vehicles and instead of recalling extended warranties to cover the cost of replacement. this is extremely dangerous as if it occurs when merging into traffic you lose all ability to accelerate. i think ford has a major issue here that it is refusing to address.

Spark plug blew out. mechanic replaced it for $350 then it blew out again 2 days later. problem with ford spark plug tearing threads out and not being able to replace spark plug without replacing entire engine. my son was on his way back to college (5hr drive) when the spark plug blew. it sounded like a shotgun! had it towed to mechanic and they replaced spark plug and 2 days later same one blew again while driving to work. towed a second time and mechanic is searching for ways to resolve. he says we may have to replace entire engine because of threads being striped when it blew out. ford mechanic has looked at and does not have any solutions. in researching online i have discovered that this could have potentially been very dangerous. others with same problem have had engine fire when sparkplug blew. we were in process of selling vehicle so now we are sol! we don't have $4000 to replace engine and our family needs a 2nd car. never again will i buy a ford. they do not stand behind their product!
When my truck is at operating temp. and coming to a stop it sounds like a diesel, it first starts by knocking and ticking then it shuts down.. this is a serious problem for when your pulling anything with the truck always it wants to die, of course unless your good and can throw it into neutral and rev the motor to 2000 rpm's with killing anyone. you start losing steering and brakes when the motors rpm's get very low.
2007 ford f-150 xlt with 5.4l triton v8,engine began shaking violently while at stop light, then hesitated consistently while accelerating 40-50mph, no warning lights or indicators on in truck. ford dealership replaced coil i believe, just purchased the truck used and didn't get any documentation when they fixed it.

The threads in my 07 ford f 150 for my spark plug in one of my cylinder's went bad. and my plug leaked high pressure compressed heated exhaust. causing my ignition coil to partially melt. its right below the fuel rail sensor too. its the biggest pain in the butt to fix. used a helicoil. didn't last too long. trying a more permanent fix next. i was on the highway going 70 when the plug began a very noticeably loud rhythmic leak with the ignition of that cylinder. also, when i saw the problem when i looked at the spark plug. it had already had an existing helicoil put in. and you could tell this happend way before 200k miles. because the old spark plug was worn almost all the way down. i still have the old spark plug.
Engine was replaced in 2011 under warranty at 51,864 miles. now at 105,662 this engine is doing the same thing. there is defiantly a problem with the engines. ford needs to recognize and acknowledge and fix this issue with their product. if your engine does not work correctly, how can your ford be - ford tough!
The failures stem from bad oil flow to the top end of the engine due to a flaw in design. specifically my camshaft, cam phaser, timing components and lifters rollers have failed. 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.
Cracked or warped exhaust manifold. i've had it looked at by two auto mechanics and have read online with this widespread problem.
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 started to jerk around 40-50 mph. reviews states the spark plugs and coils are the issues. wanted to change out spark plugs, but understand the plugs breaks upon removal and very expensive to fix. know issue by ford motor company. now i don't even want to attempt changing out the plugs. this issue should be recall or paid by ford for replacement, since this issue is know by ford. issue is still ongoing, help, don't want to pay $1000 for a simply maintenance.
In april 2015 i began experiencing engine knocking on my 2007 ford f-150 which had 57,532 miles on it. 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.
Truck jerks and jumps because the cylinders aren't firing. just spent $1000 for new plugs a few months ago. i have had to replace several coils in the last 3 years. problems started around 100k miles. *tr
I bought this truck in 2015 had 120,000 miles on it now problems after 5,000 miles i noticed a knocking in the engine and the whole truck will begin to shake after a few miles down the road. this started at 125,000 miles. i would have to turn the truck off and turn it back on, while at a stop light. just recently my wife and i took a trip out of state while on the highway the engine stared to knock and truck began to shake. i had to pull over turn the truck off and turn it back on. have to do this three times on our trip, not a happy trip in the truck. after our trip the i called ford motor company and told them what was happening with the truck they told me it was not there problem and would not pay to have it fixed. i took my truck to an independent mechanic who told me that it was the cam sensor or cam phasor. to have it replaced would cost me $4,000. i took the truck to a ford dealership that told me the same thing the mechanic said and that they would charge me $2,000 to replace. they also informed the that most of the 2007 f150 that come are having the same problem. i have let it sit in my garage till ford does a recall. i am not paying for there mistake for shoddy work.

I've had the spark plug blow out in cylinder 6 twice while driving at about 55mph. my husband had his in 2008 f150 also. i've had to have the plugs replaced 2x. just waiting for the fuel module and steering to go as noted in other numerous complaints.
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 ford f-150. the contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine exploded and caught fire. the insurance company inspected the vehicle and found that the fire initiated at the motor heli coil. when fuel penetrated the heli coil, motor, and spark plugs, it caused the engine to explode. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the contact suffered burns and cuts to the left hand. the failure mileage was 125,000.
The engine was replaced in 2012 with 53,000 miles on the truck due to a significant knocking coming from the engine. the truck was still under warranty so it cost me nothing to replace. the engine started to make the same sound in feb 2015 (84,000 miles on the truck, 30,000 miles on the engine). i had it taken to an auto mech and they told me one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine and ripped all the threading out. they also found that on e of the cylinders broke off the crank shaft and ceased. the engine has to be replaced again and the truck is no longer under warranty. both the original dealership that replaced the engine and the auto mech that i had the truck taken to, are researching if the parts are still under warranty.
Over the past six weeks, i have encountered three events in which my vehicle was accelerating while i had my foot on the brake. the first time, the truck was attempting to pull forward, vibrating, and revving the engine while i was stopped at a light .i thought it was a fluke or an error on my part and disregarded it. the second and third time, i was trying to slow down for the light with vehicles ahead of me. instead of stopping as i was depressing the brake, the engine began to rev and pull forward. i depressed my brakes to floor and the truck stopped but the engine continued to rev and attempt to pull forward with the brake on. ford company and my dealership, of course, denied any problems even after i cited several cases in which this occurred with other cars. they said sometimes sensors go out and they should not be responsible for it but were happy to do a diagnosis for $100. i see several complaints regarding the electronic throttle control systems compared to the new brake override systems and am totally unnerved that ford will not take responsibility for this. i am concerned about driving the truck with only 45,000 miles on it. i fear that any moment, my truck is going to accelerate into another vehicle while my foot is on the brake. i will never buy a ford again--a total disregard for consumer safety. *tr
