    Vehicle shakes at low speed violently. Did research on the web this is a common problem with ford trucks. Stories of getting the run around from the dealer for shaking new truck to expensive repairs that didn't remedy the problem. I'm a family man with 6 kids and limited means which means i will attempt to fix this myself because i can't afford a pro-tech to tell me the shaking is normal for ford trucks as in the…

    While driving at a 15 mph (1000 rpms) truck would knock and try to stall when coming to a stop and almost cause an accident. I would have to press the gas pedal to kept it from stalling or put into neutral and press the gas to keep it from stalling. Took it to ford dealership on 4/24/2007 and they said that the cam phasers were the problem of my engine trying to stall. As i did my research online this seems to be a…

    I have had three incidents of the engine surging/revving when in a stopped position engaged in drive gear and another one while in reverse. Each time i stepped on the brake with both feet to try to keep the vehicle from moving but it continued to lunge ahead anyway. I took it into the dealer. They said ford had a fail-safe built in--that i was not in danger but they reprogrammed it with a computer. Seemed ok for…

    Pulling into the driveway of my home, the vehicle surged forward. I pushed on the brake pedal with both feet as hard as i could, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. The front tires locked, leaving skid marks on the concrete. The vehicle crashed into the front wall of the garage, breaking the wall, before stopping. My wife was standing in the garage at the time and witnessed the event. *tr

    I have a ford f-150 4x4 super crew that is making a roaring/grinding sound from the front end. It only does this occasionally. Prior to stopping the sound will stop and the transfer case will make an engaging sound as though the four wheel drive is attempting to engage. I took it to the local dealership and they could not make the problem reoccur. I have a friend with an '04 f-150 4x4 and his is doing the same…

    After reading similar issues on mycarstats.com, i figured i should enter mine too. Engine would suddenly race at very high rpm. My vehicle is a standard so i was able to negate acceleration by depressing clutch. This happened twice within 1 month period. The second time i took it to the dealer they indicated they were going to update chip with latest upgrade. When i picked up vehicle, i was informed that my vehicle…
