Description of the problem | Bought a 2005 f150 triton v8 5. 4l new in 2005. I have now experienced a cam phase problem which will cost appx 2500 to repair. Talking to my mechanic he said that it was no promise to fix the issue , because these motors are known for this issue. Was told it would be easier to put another motor in so i wouldn't have to worry about ,if it would fix the problem. My brother has a 2008 ford with the same motor and had the same problem ,but his motor after having the cam phaser's replaced blew up and had to replace the motor. After researching and talking to several ase qualified mechanics they all said that there's an issue with the 5. 4 liter triton motor. Upon calling ford motor company as i well figured would happen they said that they wouldn't help with the cost and that there was nor recall. Consumers should be able to get more than 100,000 miles out of a vehicle they buy. If ford wants to keep customers happy they should address theproblem and the government should be more vigilant in assuring the consumer is protected from companies whose product dosen't meet standards. I would like to see the government to look at all complaints through a survey on this motor to find a solution for the consumer. |
