| Description of the problem | Had owned the truck for about 2 months before the engine started knocking, staling, and would just completely shake so bad the truck would shut off like it was outta gas! Had the cam shafts replaced, fixed the problem for about 15 days, then knocking started up again.. Long story short- engine ended up blowing up! $5000. 00 later for a remanufactured engine with corrected parts that should of been corrected in the first place by ford! Selling faulty parts that could not only harm my family while driving but others on the roadways as well... Ford needs to own up and correct their mistakes! I will never purchase a ford vehicle again! |
