Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"I have had a lot of problems with the front end of this truck, 4 wheel drive components and also I have just found out that the frame is rusting apart"

"Vacuum hose(s) leaked, causing 4wd low to engage when vehicle in motion and gears to grind"

"The 4WD would not dis-engage so that when turning a sharp corner the gears mating the wheels to the drives would buck, grind, and kick. Had it re-built once by Ford, the second time I had the drive system replaced with an aftermarket product that kept the gears aligned."

"Rear differential noise. Replaced."

"replaced gears in rear end drive due to wear."

"Its developed a small leak and needs to have a seal replaced"

"I have had to have the differential replaced twice, and now the cam bearings and roller on both side are bad"

"Differential pinion gear oil seal started leaking."

"Pinion bearing failure"

"Bearing in the differential was failing; which caused vibrations in the drive train. The entire rear axle and differential was replaced with a used one."

"Driveshaft bracket rusted out. You can't get just the bracket you have to replace the entire driveshaft."

"Center driveshaft bearing failed, causing vibration when driving. Had to be replaced. Rear driveshaft bearing had failed previously."

"Alternator started cutting out on way home from fishing trip in January. Engine quit once but restarted and charged for awhile then quit again when alternator cut out. Battery was dead. An acreage owner came out and boosted battery for 20 minutes and was just enough to make it home and to a garage where they replaced alternator."

"At 80000 miles had to replace engine completely"

"Engine failure. Defective cam or cam phasers."

"Cam bearings and rollers bad. engine misses. I'm told that if I have it repaired I could still loose the engine. Ford wants $2700 to fix or $8000 for rebuilt engine. It sets in my garage undriveable."

"Lost oil pressure and damaged three rods and valves when the motor jumped time. Decided to have the motor rebuilt"

"Faulty fuel injector caused major engine failure. This was a problem known by Ford, but they only extended the warranty on it until 120000 miles versus replacing the faulty injectors. The injectors failed at 121400 miles. Replaced engine with a new Jasper 5.4L v-8"

"This is a 3 valve engine. All timing components failed. The repair exceeded the value of the truck."

"oil pressure drop required $2K head gasket and oil lifter replacement with no visible oil leak evidence until failure. Miss-diagnosis by dealer service resulted in subsequent high speed blow out through pan seal led to timing belt and all tension related failure resulting in $6.8K week replacement of all external components at a NON-DEALERSHIP shop that found and fixed the problem. All of it could have been avoided if dealership shop knew what they were doing after multiple purchases. I no longer patronize this dealership."

"engine valve train would not advance"

"Overhead camshaft variable timing mechanism failure and timing chain,guides failure. Very expensive repair."

"Variable valve timing warnings"

"Poorly designed overhead cam engine - way to complex with a fuel mpg at 10 -11. Components self destruct at apx 200,000 miles with a $3000.00 repair bill to correct"

"I thought the problem was with the transmission, but turned out to be the timing chains."

"Timing chain was deteriorating within the engine case. It was still intact and I could still drive it but the engine light came on and when the mechanic looked inside with a camera, he saw the chain was breaking into pieces. Cost me $2500 to replace the timing chain."

"Has always been loud when you start the truck"

"The cam bearings and rollers on both sides of the engine are bad"

"Engine will run ruff when idling while stopped. Now have engine light on with a problem diagnosis of cam shaft. Found out the 5.4 engine has common problems of oilers for cam shaft. Have to take it in for repair."

"the 2005 f-150 has what's called the Titan tick- it is a crappyly made engine, they made for at least 2 yrs before deciding it was crap and changed completely. ours is still running- amazingly enough, but most people have to have a new engine put in because of this problem. ford refuses to admit it's a widespread problem, therefore not paying for repair."

"A spark plug blew our of the engine head."

"Front pinion seal developed a small leak. Wasn't dripping on ground yet but had it replaced"

"Oil pan gasket"

"Oil pan gasket"

"oil pump replacement"

"Small oil leak around the engine block"

"Oil pan leaked at 37000. Covered by warrantee but service was time consuming. Mechanic indicated it was a common problem"

"We have tried to fix the oil leaks and the other leaks in the vehicle with no success."

"Engine oil leaking probably from the valve cover. I had to replace a spark plug that was oil fouled."

"replace RF lower"

"Hoses needed to be replaced due to rusting out."

"They said this caused my cupping. We will see"

"Worn out"

"My truck was used as a work vehicle in horrible construction conditions including: extreme hot and cold weather, lots of snow, ice and road salt, mud, road construction dust, sand, driven up and down inclines, driven over very rough terrain including deep ruts, and driven hard. I highly doubt the average truck buyer puts their vehicle through as much stress as mine had been through. Road construction dust is very fine and very drying. My truck has taken a beating and I knew eventually that stress would catch up and I'd have to make repairs, this was the year much of it needed those repairs. Before now the only things I had to do for the vehicle was regular upkeep and some new tires."

"A steering shaft was worn requiring replacement"

"Over 45 mph, severe shaking and shimmying. Taking it in tomorrow for repair/estimate."

"Rubber bushings seperated"

"tire uneven wear was due to minor accident."

"Cupping. Replaced shocks and a ton of stuff"

"Won't eject CD"

"Had a short, had it discontented"

"It pairs but cuts out constantly - maybe a loose wire? I worked around it with an FM Bluetooth with 2 usb plug ins - works great"

"The radio developed an electrical short that was draining the battery. I had to remove the fuse to stop electrical to the radio. The radio has no power but the rest of the electrical system is fine and the battery is no longer draining."

"Radio had to be replaced because it would not shut off"

"The battery would drain in two days. Pulled the fuse to the radio and now no problem"

"When changing/cleaning the window sensors (?) In the door the radio went out. He believes the codes have to be reset"

"Radio would no longer stay on a station. Had to replace"

"Unplugged it for a short"

"check engine light would come on and engine would go into limp mode would not speed up. after shutting down engine and waiting a few sec. restart and everything back to normal."

"Driver side interior lamp hasn't worked in years. 4×4 high indicater lamp doesn't light when in gear."

"The gauge lights are burned out."

"Radio and interior lights remain powered when exiting the vehicle with key removed and engine off. They remain on until the battery drain system turns off the power. I am told it is a corroded junction in a wire under the door sill"

"Neither of the back doors would unlock. Both had to be replaced."

"The parking brake light does not come on when the brake is set. All sensors/bulbs have been tested, so the issue seems to be with the wiring. The problem is unresolved"

"door ajar light constantly on"

"Airbag light on. Driver side."

"Sprayer nozzle clogged on one side"

"One of the support brackets rusted out."

"There was a leak near the rear sliding window."

"We had To have the window in both front doors reinstalled, as the windows fell out of their "holding bracket" and we couldn't get the window to close."

"Manually operated drivers side window will roll down, but not back up. This started a couple of years ago and just got worse. I now leave it up all the time. Cost prohibitive to repair. Not resolved at this time."

"Window track inside door broke, now allowing window to raise or lower. Replaced window track/bracket."

"The driver window will nor always go back up after letting it diw. The passenger window can be let down but the driver has to let it back up"

"Passenger side window just falls down and you cannot get it back up without taking the entire door apart"

"Drivers side window very difficult to roll up once it's down. (Manual/Crank Window)."

"Vehicle was making a humming noise that wasn't getting any better,took it to a couple of shops both were telling me the same answer.trans need to be replaced"

"Third transmission on this F 150"

"transmission failed and had rebuilt transmission installed"

"At 101,000 the transmission started slipping. The transmission shop that I use tested it and said it definitely needed rebuilding or replaced. I replaced it with a factory rebuilt with a 10 year warranty. The shop also commented they had seen several with the 4.6 liter V-8 motor have this same problem at about 100,000 miles"

"Would not shift to reverse"

"Transmission went out, had a new transmission from Ford put in"

"It would no longer go into reverse, so automatic transmission had to be replaced."

"It is involved and time consuming to change it.IT takes a full day in labour costs to change.Most places wont even do it."

"Exhaust leaks from manifold required replacement"

"exhaust bolts broke off"

"On constantly after pulled battery out for month and reinstalling."

"recall for wire that may short out from horn and may trigger airbag"

"Mass Air Flow Sensor (If I remember correctly) caused vehicle to missfire as though it was a faulty ignition coil. After I replaced ignition coils and plugs, the problem persisted. Tried replacing sensor with after-market part, but it did not improve. Finally took it to the Ford dealer, the ran computer test, replaced Mass Air sensor with factory part. Problem solved."

"Check engine light"

"Second O2 sensor replaced in 3 years"

"Sensor is part of electrical system within fuel system that went bad due to age"

"coils and spark plug replacement problems. Spark plugs separate when try to remove for replacement"

"Common leaks around 3rd brake lights and window seal"

"noisy"

"Weatherstripping on drivers side has partially peeled off and trim rattles"

"A leak occurred allowing rain water into the cab via the electrical cable running from the engine compartment through the door"

"System rusted out and had to be replaced"

"After refrigerant leak several years ago, I again noticed that the system was not cooling as it should. After research, I decided to simply add refrigerant myself rather than taking it to a dealer/mechanic. The cost of the refrigerant was very reasonable and I decided when I needed to recharge the system, I would just add more refrigerant. Since recharging, the system remained satisfactory for nearly a year."

"I had the refrigerant replaced 3 years ago, but over that time the coolant has leaked out. I will be scheduling an appointment to find the leak and replace the coolant"

"Transmission module jammed and would not allow it to come out of 4WD."

"Not long after buying the truck, it wouldn't go into reverse."
