Description of the problem | First off i want to say that i work for ford and i am very disappointed that the first of the two issue i have hasn't been recalled and i'm not 100% sure about the dates that these problems occurred on. My truck has sounded like it has a diesel engine in it since i bought it brad new in 2005 and after talking to some guys at work i find out that it is caused by cam phasers that are in the 2004-07 5. 4litre engines and if these fail you have to get a new motor which i was told just a couple of months ago would be $8900. 00 which is absolutely crazy. If you look them up online you will see that this is a huge and costly problem. My second issue is i have had my rearend rebuilt twice since i have owned this vehicle. The first time was before it was out of it 36,000 mile factory warranty, the second time was before it was out of the 100,000 extended warranty that i purchased so luckily those two times did not cost me anything but now it needs it again and the mechanic tell me it could cost $5000 so with the motor issue and the rearend issue i could possibly spend $14,000 in repairs which again is crazy when you spent close to $50,000. 00 on the vehicle to begin with. |
