Ford F-150

"Could not shift out of park."

"Had gear selector replaced for the second time since purchase. First time was covered by warranty. Second time convinced dealer to cover part of the cost. This design flaw is known to Ford but they have chosen to offer no remedy. Expect to have to replace it again in the next year or two"

"clutch cylinder leaked on clutch plate requiring clutch replacement. clutch was fine otherwise."

"Shifts down so hard from 3rd to 2nd when accelerating fast it clunks hard"

"Significant shudder when torque converter released at around 55 mph. Changing the transmission fluid and filter fixed this for now."

"The rough shifting problem was due to the slipping transmission. At times I would have to either quit giving it gas or floor it in order to get it to go into gear. Steady acceleration resulted in the truck jerking forward."

"This transmission should not have failed with 87K"

"The transmission started slipping in and out of gear. I scheduled a repair at the dealership and the day of the appointment I was barely able to get there due to the slipping."

"Transmission is starting to slip"

"Experienced slipping transmission when hauling heavy loads, whether in the box or trailering"

"Tail shaft Aluminum Housing where drive connects at transmission cracked. Years of corrosion by salt and tail shaft clamp assembly made of steel. Dissimilar metals connected together. Expand and brake"

"Age related leaks"

"Transmission lines rotted out. Have never experienced that on any other car."

"Cracked rear housing with no external trauma"

"Not sure, but believe the solenoid is related to the gear shifter replacement problem"

"exhaust manifold leak."

"Same manifold"

"Exhaust manifolds seem to require repairing every two years from leaks"

"an exhaust manifold bolt came out, causing excessive noise and fuel consumption, as well as potential passenger cabin air quality concerns"

"bolts rust out"

"Makes the truck shudder when accelerating and odor. Unfortunately the repair will cost more than the truck is worth."

"Exhaust manifold bolts break. Causes exhaust leak when starting engine quites some when heated. To fix manifold has to be replaced new bolts placed in head if the old ones can be taken out."

"Noisy and became misshapened"

"Started at less than 75000 klm, known problem with these motors but no help from Ford."

"Fixed an exhaust leak on the exhaust manifold that was the source of a lot of engine noise"

"Both sides needed the exhaust manifold replaced due to leaks"

"Exhaust manifold gasket leaking"

"The exhaust manifold had a crack which caused exhaust fumes to come into the cab. This is the second time this has happened since I've owned this truck"

"Leaks"

"Each plug has its own coil which intermittently go out from time to time happened on my last f150 also....expensive fix"

"You have my F150 listed twice. I only have one F150"

"The coil pack failed on cylinder # 5 but F150 was still driveable"

"Ignition Coil Pack developed a crack in the base of the module causing a ignition miss."

"engine misfire and stalling during acceleration Ignitions sticks sometimes during start-up"

"Needed replacing."

"Engine miss #3 cylinder has not been repaired yet."

"I had misfires while driving slowly as well as major vibration when downshifting from overdrive to 3rd gear."

"The coating or chemical make-up of the wire covering attracts mice and they chewed EVERY WIRE leading to the plugs ."

"Spark plug failures caused truck to stall and die multiple times. Over 10 visits to three different MAJOR automotive places were unable to correct since the plugs break and even replacements were faulty. These faults caused larger issues including cat converter failure and poor gas mileage. The check engine light came on so many times that the gauges and warning lights never turn off. Now I have permanent warnings for cat converter and brakes, which I've been told is a known fault in the instrument panel. Fortunately I don't notice too much since the truck has so many rattles when the wind blows that I'm constantly driving with my arm out the window hitting things trying to determine where the rattle comes from."

"replaced ignition block and plug wires"

"On going problem after changing sparkplugs. Gas mileage went to heck and hasn't gotten any better. Actually, at times, worse. Shop is working on this"

"Spark plugs break off in cylinder head"

"Cam shaft broke with spark plug mistiming"

"Started in the last 6 months. When the engine is hot, highway driving, then idling or waiting in line, engine begins to choke and stammer as if not getting fuel. Error code P0345, recommenced fix is engine replacement. Ford known problem."

"Cam shaft failure, had to get a rebuilt engine. Cost thousands of dollars and loss of use of vehicle until rebuilt."

"Cracked manifold"

"Replaced within the last year. I was told this normally occurs at about 80,000. Mine lasted much longer."

"Ran really rough and wouldn’t get above 30mph"

"Worn cam phasers both heads. Noticed noise about 3 months ago, February 2020. Check engine light came on in April 2020. Repaired at dealership, $1800.00."

"Tensioner pulley went bad so I had all pullies and belt replaced at same time"

"Timing chain repair in conjunction with cam sensors requiring replacement at only 210,000 km on an 8 cylinders engine. Seems ridiculous"

"Climate control hunts. Blows cold air then hot air. Never settle on a cab temperature."

"HVAC blower failed. About $75 on Amazon for aftermarket replacement. Simple do it yourself fix but contorted long reach."

"Fan does not operate on the 2 lowest settings. I can only run the Air conditioning using the 3rd. and 4th (highest) speeds."

"I took it in for repair because speeds 1 & 2 were not working on the blower and it was not putting out cold air. Turns out even though there was nothing wrong with the compressor it had to be replaced because the part that was malfunctioning was not sold separately from the compressor. This was over $1000, repair"

"Had a hole in it causing the refridgerant to bleed off"

"B Heater exchanger cracked dumping Preston all over the cabin floors"

"Heater system doors in dash failed to open/close properly. Found that the factory installed insulation had fallen down onto the door system and required complete removal of the dash to repair"

"I think these were related to the compressor failure"

"New camshaft and rollers installed on driver side of motor. In the winter time it drives great. But in the summer when it is hot out engine idols very rough. When put in reverse when running rough almost stalls out."

"There was a hesitation or miss in the engine that was repaired by replacing coil packs"

"The engine knocks or pings when inexpensive gasoline is used. A higher octane gasoline or an additive usually solves the problem. The engine will also hesitate on acceleration during periods of extreme wet weather."

"Ticking noise, which more and more people are tellling me, is common to the 5.4 litre engine. Ford dealership quoted $3,500 in repairs. Cam sensors require replacing they tell me. However, other owners have said this issue goes on for years without any major issues. Symptoms I experience include less power and increased fuel consumption"

"Related to the P0345 problem,"

"Oil was leaking from a seal and was repaired at the local ford dealership. No other problems since then."

"Oil cooler line has a slow leak where the metal line is attached to a rubber line with a compression fit. This is the original line that came on the truck when it was new."

"Headlight switch replacement. Had to disconnect battery for 18 hours to avoid drain on charge from headlights unable to turn off. $730"

"Lights not a problem on this vehicle."

"There's a short apparently in the dimmer switch and the lights keep coming on. We have to hit the dashboard for them to go off. This happened within a few days after purchasing the truck. Due to lack of funds we have not been able to have it checked"

"The lock control switch got wet when rain came in open window. Now the lock control panel doesn't work properly. Driver's door position doesn't lock or unlock doors when the door has been opened; requires the door to be closed and ignition switch on. Passenger side works well."

"Does no work at 5 below zero"

"Brake warning light came on due to a bad connection on the dash circuit board."

"There is a known fault with the warning lights due to bad solder joints in the instrument cluster. The only fix is to replace at high expense or remove and resolder for cheap (several hundred dollars if outsourced but cheaper than a new panel). Of course difficult to drive the vehicle without an instrument cluster while it is shipped out."

"This is apparently on the TSB list for these trucks, transmission whines as you increase speed. I have not fixed it yet but it will need a full transmission rebuild or replacement which is going to equal down time for me and a significant cost."

"Reverse gear broke. Transmission worked good in the forward gears. Replaced reverse gear and changed fluid."

"Transmission failed and had to be replaced at 199,000 miles"

"2nd transmission for this truck. Don't think it's built to handle any kind of weight through the years"

"Transmission had to be replaced after 75k miles. Had to fight with warranty company to get them to pay. They paid for a rebuilt transmission"

"The problem was actually the fuel pump module. Check engine light came on, indicated lean fuel mixture and missing in one cylinder. It took two days for the mechanic to diagnose a failure in the fuel pump module, which is located between the body of the truck and the spare tire. Easy to replace after diagnosis."

"Evidently on this model year there is a fuel sensor mounted underneath near the gas tank that was not properly covered which allows moisture and debris to accumulate causing it to wear out thus it fails and no fuel. A simple rubber boot to cover would seem to solve the problem. $500 repair to replace sensor board"

"Radio put my new batterie down"

"Electric coil went out, caused engine light."

"Unknown source and unknown location"

"When driving the truck ,it makes a lot of noise and not from tires."

"Motherboard needed to be replaced. Engine never failed - was warned by check engine light and computer detected problem"
