Ford F-150 Change Vehicle

"4WD actuator hub failed"

"Started with a roar like it was trying to engage. Then completely went out and unable to put into 4 wheel drive. Presently driving in 2 wheel drive as 4 wheel is not presently needed. Ford quoted $800 to$1,000 to fix"

"Plates ground smooth"

"Noise while driving. Carrier gears in the differential were replaced, which fixed the problem."

"Diferencial failed"

"Internal clutch pack fell apart spreading metal pieces all through the rearend,bearings and axles. 1,400.00 and 4days in the dealers shop."

"Vehicle has had differential pinion bearing replaced 3 times"

"Vehicle return by original buyer under lemon law. Problem final surfaced as pinon bearing. When repair no more problem"

"positive traction plates in rear differential were replaced 25000 km ago and are now chattering again. makes a concerning noise when turning"

"needed to be replaced"

"Differential has become quite noisy. At highway speeds, anyone in back can't hear front occupants. At low speeds, a grinding noise when turning. Shops have said that everything looks ok. Some Fords differentials are just noisy."

"brief rear end shudder when starting from a stop and turning the steering wheel one way or the other (i.e. it doesn't shudder if I'm leaving a stop sign and going straight ahead)"

"there is chatter or vibration that last less than a second when starting out from a dead stop, i've been told it could be the transmission clutches"

"Driveshaft paaued before kicking in when starting from a stop sign"

"drive shaft became unbalanced,it was necessary to replace the drive shaft"

"Repaced blower motor resistor"

"The check engine light is on and but there are no apparent problems. Dealer says I need a main control module at a cost of $1,500.00 - to turn the light off... It passed he emissions test when this light was turned off by the dealer, but now it is on again and so the test can't be done until it is fixed. Not happy about that"

"Bad alternator"

"Have changed the posi plates in the diff once They did not last long the second time. They bmake a terrible scrapping sound when turning tight corners"

"Transfer case motor failed."

"Multiple areas on the truck have paint falling off, especially on the roof where rust has formed. This is a big problem Ford has been aware of for several years yet refuses to aid its customers in repairing it"

"The paint on the front bumper lost it's clear coat. I had it repainted and it peeled again."

"the clear coat separated from the color on both doors. when it rained they would fill with water, like a bubble."

"The paint issues are secondary to a problem that all F-150s of this body design seem to exhibit. That nis rusting out of the rocker panels and door sills. I am particular at washing out the underbody of the truck but by design, the channels in the metal stampings of the rocker panels and floor pans tend to load up with road dust and the dust then draws in moisture which causes extensive hidden rust.Most of the damage is hidden to all but an invasive inspection. If new trucks were not so expensive, I probably would not have agreed to fix my truck. I cannot, however, afford to replace it with one in better shape."

"Was not happy to see the rust. In came in areas not expected. Was told not fixed profitably."

"rust over the wheel wells on the body itself....typical of Ford trucks"

"Extensive serious rust on frame."

"Front bumper completely rusted."

"Beyond excessive frame rust for the vehicles age and care given to it"

"Typical rust areas for F150, bottom, rear cab corners and behind front wheels"

"Disintegrated support frame members below truck bed. This problem appears prevalent for this make and model truck."

"rust around wheel wells and the rust bubbles at edge of doors"

"Rusting around the wheel wells & bottom of the tailgate. Started 4 years ago, has not been fixed. To expensive to have repaired"

"box floor rusted through. replaced floor"

"underside of door openings rusted on both sides"

"Cab corners were rusted when I bought this vehicle. The truck has continued to rust rapidly since I purchased it"

"lower front quarter rust both sides"

"Lost the refrigerant"

"Compressor froze up,burn the belt up"

"The electric servos that control the flapper doors inside the climate system stop working rendering temperature controls set to full heat; even in the middle of Summer."

"The AC in my truck will not cool the cabin in hot weather. I have had it in the Ford shop for diagnosis and repair and the shop claims to have repaired the problem but it is no better than when I first took it to the shop"

"unable to cool significantly, particularly in hot, humid weather. have run the unit on max a/c on over a 1 hour drive. should be freezing - not"

"Failed to remember the re-circulation setting after truck was turned off. Valve controlling heating and cooling failed as well"

"The controls that tell the heater blower where to direct the air has not worked properly since I purchased the truck in October of 2011. This was not covered by the warranty purchased with the vehicle. Dealer says this is a $900.00 fix, so I live with it"

"From the time it was purchased the a/c fan never worked well. We had a number of visits to the dealership under warranty to have it check and each time we were told it was low on Freon but had no leaks. Eventually the entire motor had to be replaced due to it being undersized from the factory"

"Not blowing put cool air at all. Once replaced with some Freon added, it works fine."

"Within the back part of the engine"

"Transmission totally failed at 94,000 miles"

"Transmission suddenly without warning went out"

"Transmission just went out with little wear or problems it just suddenly failed. Transmission was rebuilt but with in a few days began to fail again. After the third transmission we FINALLY found a faulty electrical component in the main computer and 4x4 relay that was causing the transmission to try to shift when it should not. Thus causing the gears withing the transmission to slip grind and fail"

"transmission wouldn't shift and required a rebuilt transmission to replace the original"

"When our truck began to shudder and grind last December, it initially didn't surprise us. Since this kind of thing happened twice in the preceding two years. Problem then was brake calipers, which broke prematurely. But in December the truck didn't want to move hardly at all without grinding. So we had it towed and found out through diagnostics that the torque converter had major problems and the transmission had to be completely rebuilt. That happened with 96,500 miles on it - not even reaching this 100K odometer reading. My son knows the ins and outs of vehicle mechanical stuff and he concurred with transmission mechanic with findings and what needed to be repaired. My wife and I were dismayed since we didn't have major problems with this truck until about after 85K miles on it."

"See previous. It started slipping, that lead to total transmission replacement."

"Had to have a new transmission and a new rear end put in"

"Transmission began to slip and became worse as the vehicle was driven. Chose to replace the transmission for warranty purposes (3 year warranty)"

"Transmission began to change gears sluggishly, make clunking noises, then failed completely...the truck was unable to move."

"Stop shifting"

"Moon roof retracting rails broke causing water leak."

"It does not have good seals for air. The back of the cab is especially noisy, hard to hear from front to back with riders."

"sunroof retracting components have broken preventing a proper seal. Tends to leak during downpours."

"Rear fender rust (both sides) & weather stripping on doors has loosened"

"Seals around doors are of low quality"

"windows squeak and rattle"

"The sliding window seal leaks and aslo leaks around backup light on top of rear of cab."

"The drivers side door rattles, and does not seem to be adjustable to tighten the fit when it's closed. Worst when driving on gravel roads, and here in Wyoming we have a lot of gravel roads."

"Noisy truck"

"Was done by a disreputable place and does not run properly now"

"Cam phaser oil starvation on left bank. Replaced engine with a factory 5.4l three valve Triton engine"

"Purchased used and then was told 9 months later that the engine needed to be replaced. The drive train was also replaced. It was not a pretty picture. I blame it on the mechanics that checked the truck out and said it was ok"

"around 100,000 miles engine blow within a few weeks after at dealer for tune up and plugs changed."

"Had to have a new motor."

"At 149000 the engine started to miss fire so I took it back to the dealer and put in a rebuilt same engine"

"timing chain needs to be replaced"

"Camshaft phasers went out. A costly repair"

"the 5.4 engine has developed a noise that to me sounds like a lifter but mechanics say it may be in the timing chain assembly. at least a 2000 repair, it runs fine but that noise would make selling it near impossible even with the relatively low miles for its age"

"Very minor knocking"

"Both cam phasers are making noise , making ticking noise . Eventually will need to be replaced"

"Engine had a ticking noise. It sat through the winter and when driven would stall at idle"

"valve train noise and or camshaft variable timing adjusters"

"rear engine seal leaks just enough to make a mess under the vehicle"

"Oil plug leaking required a new oil pan threads were stripped"

"oil usage due to compression loss/blow by in #1 cyl"

"Timing cover gasket failed."

"Fuel gauge not functioning properly"

"When driving the gauge cluster will just die. Nothing registers but it does not seem to effect the operation of the vehicle. The mechanic thinks we may need to replace the fuse box under the hood."

"None of the interior lights work. Dash board lights do work"

"Lose bulb in the overhead lights"

"The interior light likes to come on at random times. Still have yet to track the source of this issue down."

"Parking brake switch."

"The warning light comes on and off intermittently. I believe it is due to a cluster problem"

"The vehicle was not running well, the problem was the converter, so I had to replace it."

"Exhaust Manifold had to be replaced."

"exhaust leak that requires lifting engine to repair makes repair not affordable"

"Had rusted out and broken studs on both banks of manifolds..."

"A stud holding the left exhaust manifold to the engine block pulled loose, causing an exhaust leak. The repair bill eventually went to $2,800 as the engine had to be pulled after an estimate of $500 to $600. Ford has known about this defect non the 5,4 engine for years but has failed to correct the undersized manifold stud"

"The fuel pump regulator failed causing the check engine light to come on and the gas mileage to decrease dramatically. Replacement cost was $411."

"Pcv valve had to be changed"

"Rear driver side O2 sensor failed and triggered engine light. I replaced it myself very easily."

"cluster went bad and had to be replaced"

"I believe the cluster is bad causing the LCD to go blank and the emergency brake warning light to come on intermittently"

"When driving a normal slow speed at 30 mph, the truck would jerk once or twice, and eventually got worse. It became frequent. Dealer told us transmission giving out. We just replaced it ourselves."
