Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"Had to replace all ball joints. This is not bad at 120000 miles but expensive"

"After almost 170000 miles the ball joints were causing the brake rotors to wear unevenly causing a shimmy when brakes were applied"

"They were worn out. We got them replaced"

"One of the ball joints was badly worn, dangerous and needed replacement"

"Ball joint was very worn, would not pass VA state inspection. It also contributed to steering vibration, uneven tire wear. After replacement and new tires (80,000 on old tires), all is well"

"steering gets tight as it loses fluid"

"had to replace the power steering pump"

"steering pump fail broke pulley"

"steering pump seized and blewv the pulley to shreds"

"I replaced the stock shock absorbers this year"

"Replaced all shocks. Not bad at 120000"

"wore out due to age and milage"

"Deterioration of the rubber bushings on the torsion bar over time made the bar ineffective. A very minor repair I did my self for $30."

"The brackets for the rear leaf springs rusted out."

"Needed to replace one of the tie rods. It contributed to steering wheel vibration. Replacement and alignment solved the problem"

"Wore out."

"TIRE WEAR UNEVEN BECAUSE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE WORKED ON... SOMEONE ELSE DROVE MY TRUCK AND RAN OVER A LARGE CURB. THE ISSUE WAS NOT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE TRUCK...ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY STUPID DRIVER"

"Fuel pump clogged during outside temps over 100"

"Truck would not start and stranded us periodically"

"started being intermittent hard to start then finally wouldn't start at all. had to be towed"

"I have had 2 fuel pump failures in the last 4 years"

"It was not driven for a couple of weeks. The vehicle was parked with the front on an incline. I think may revealed the weakness."

"Vehicle would not start. Had to have it towed to a service facility to be repaired."

"The fuel pump failed suddenly, requiring the vehicle to be towed and was fixed within a few days."

"No warning of any problem. Fuel pump went out and vehicle was out of service for 3 days."

"Vehicle had been sputtering intermittently during idle for about 1 month. Then one day the vehicle stalled while idling in a store parking lot and would not start again. It cranked but would not start. I had the vehicle towed to a nearby repair facility and they replaced the fuel pump at a cost of $900. Now, about a year later, the sputtering has occurred twice in the last month. I feel like it will only be a matter of a week or two before the vehicle stalls again and won't start. I'm hoping Christian Brothers (repair facility) will warranty their previous repair from a year ago. In the meantime, I'm nervous driving the vehicle in heavy traffic for fear that it may stall at any time. On the flipside, I hesitate to return to Christian Brothers before it stalls because they will likely say nothing is wrong."

"Fuel pump failed to operate. Replaced fuel pump"

"Hard to start for a month, then wouldn't start at all, had to have it towed."

"Just quit working"

"Hey, with almost 180000 miles a fuel pump isn't that bad! It just wore out."

"Head gasket leaked coolant into spark plugs, triggering sensors."

"Got a service engine light on the dash and the digital code indicated an oxygen sensor fail."

"There is a short in the clock and radio wires that is very hard to trace. Actually it would be cost prohibitive so we choose to drive without a radio/clock. Otherwise the truck continues to serve our needs."

"Recently many "dashboard" and "door" area electrical problems have occurred, pretty much all at once: no cruise control, fan, intermittent turn signals, and difficult driver's side window operations. Problem(s) have yet to be fully diagnosed and addressed"

"The turn signals stopped working when the steering wheel was adjusted down. The control switch and wiring harness had to be replaced."

"turn sigmials do not work"

"The odometer lights go on and off."

"Numbers on odometer switch on and off."

"Odometer works erratically , which I read is a common failure on this and other models. Clock and radio light doesn’t work either."

"I replaced the lens cover on the head lights. the old ones were badly faded"

"Had to replace horns"

"Odometer display intermittently goes off"

"The computer died, thus rendering the keyless entry non-functional, and the truck un-startable. I had to have the computer replaced, entirely, and thus re-keyed"

"left and right lights stopped working had to get it fixed"

"ABS light and Check Engine lights have stayed on for years."

"Wipers haven't worked in several years. We had the GEM module replaced in Sept 2018; the wipers worked for a few minutes before blowing a fuse. Replaced the fuse, tried again, and the fuse blew again. Wipers stopped working around the same time the interior lights stopped working."

"Wiper was erratic and finally quit...we live on Oregon coast so had to replace and couldn’t drive until new part arrived. Verycostly for a verysmall motor."

"Shifting (autimTic"

"Transmission auto shift from 1 to 2 is lost. Apparently, this is a known issue from at least 1999 models"

"At 100,000 miles we had the transmission rebuilt. We used a national dealer to do the work. Then, 40,00 miles later, we need to do it again. This time it is leaking. This truck has had fairly light use and it does have very low mileage. We purchased it with only 14,000 miles"

"Absolutely amazed that the original transmission lasted 350K miles."

"transmission would not shift beyond first gear."

"Would not shift into reverse. Happened at 190,000 miles. Not unexpected"

"transmission started slipping"

"The transmission has burnt out 3 gear. It currently drives, but it will need to be replaced for continued regular use."

"Had major failure with transmission. Something happened and transmission started acting strange. Checked fluid; Added fluid; Drove to get fluid distributed; Forward gears just stopped functioning. Backed up 4 miles to repair shop."

"Back window seals allows water to come into cab during rain"

"Plastic end connections failures on rear door latches"

"electronic code stopped working after 5 years. Key fob unlock stopped working so car can only be unlocked using a key and then passenger side door will only unlock from inside the cab."

"The tail gate locks sometimes lick in closed position and I cannot close the tailgate. If I pull the handle in the center of the tail gate, It releases the locks and then I can close the tailgate"

"The truck bed was rusting to the point of not holding the tailgate. The gas tank was also rusting and leaking. A new truck bed and gas tank were replaced together to save cost."

"Rear window leaks when parked outside in rain"

"Antifreeze leaking past intake head gasket. Required expensive repair."

"Leaked"

"Had a coolant leak and garage said that they noticed rough idle. Then said that a rough idle caused by faulty head gasket"

"At 135000, coolant was leaking into a cylinder because of the head gasket. Gasket replacement solved problem."

"A valve arm came loose in the engine and was hidden by the previous owner. The check engine light came on and he had it reset and sold the truck. Cost me $2000 to fix it."

"The exhaust manifold rusted thru and will cost $600.00 or more to replace."

"The passenger side exhaust manifold rotted out at the first cylinder. I got a price of $1000 to replace them both. I have, instead, patched the hole and will likely replace the entire exhaust system with a custom set up. The patch has held for 9 months now."

"Tail pipes needed replacing due to rust"

"My ford truck is a 1988 model. Pipes just rusted away"

"Mechanics and others can not turn my ignition switch but I can in most cases and if not, i can in two or three tries. Then sometimes when i turn the ignition on it makes a noise (the starter). I know my car well and in every case it will eventually run and rides smooth and well. I do not want to continue to spend money on the F150 but it continues to run."

"A spark plug blew out of the engine. Have heard that it happens with the six cylinder engine like mine. Some mechanics are hesitant to try to fix it because it can be challenging. Talked to two mechanics. The second referred me to a third who had the specific tool for the repair. He had done another one a day earlier"

"time to replace the spark plugs, they were old"

"The transmission started to not shift properly into third gear from second. It would shift if allowed to coast for a short distance, but would not shift if power was continuous. The transmission was evaluated by an independent shop and was determined to have a defective shift sensor for the second to third shift. The sensor was replaced and the condition was improved but not entirely eliminated."

"Sudden downshift to lowest gear at about 35 mph. (As violent as jamming brakes hard.)Transmission now has no holdback in low gear"

"Corrosion in transmission cooler lines caused pinhole leak. Required replacement of lines"

"Became noisy, replaced rear axle. Still had differential noise, replaced front axle"

"Leak in cover. Had to replace cover."

"Nothing else to add. The engine has had no problems, just power windows and door locks"

"Heat schield on muffler rattles"

"I've had the squeaks and suspension noise checked by two reputable mechanice and neither can offer a solution short of completely rebuilding my suspension and springs. A replacement of all four shocks recently only eliminated noise temporarily. Makes the vehicle sound more worn down than it is, otherwise in good condition."

"upper lower ball joint replacement"

"it was the transmission oil pan which developed a leak. An expensive fix with 4 wheel drive"

"My truck leaks oil when I park on an incline but not when it is parked level. Strange????"
