While driving my truck suddenly lost power and shifted into "limp home mode" while the wrench and check engine light came on. This happened to me a few year back as well so i immediately assumed it was the throttle body or sensor going bad. I brought into the ford dealership who confirmed to me it was the throttle body that went out. This is now the 3 throttle body that my truck had had (9 years old and 130,000…

Spark plug blew out. Mechanic replaced it for $350 then it blew out again 2 days later.

When my truck is at operating temp. And coming to a stop it sounds like a diesel, it first starts by knocking and ticking then it shuts down.. This is a serious problem for when your pulling anything with the truck always it wants to die, of course unless your good and can throw it into neutral and rev the motor to 2000 rpm's with killing anyone. You start losing steering and brakes when the motors rpm's get very…

The threads in my 07 ford f 150 for my spark plug in one of my cylinder's went bad. And my plug leaked high pressure compressed heated exhaust. Causing my ignition coil to partially melt. Its right below the fuel rail sensor too. Its the biggest pain in the butt to fix. Used a helicoil. Didn't last too long. Trying a more permanent fix next. I was on the highway going 70 when the plug began a very noticeably loud…

The failures stem from bad oil flow to the top end of the engine due to a flaw in design. Specifically my camshaft, cam phaser, timing components and lifters rollers have failed. The problem first showed up at 42256 miles and has since resurfaced twice even after expensive repairs. The worrisome part is that the web is filled with thousands upon thousands of similar complaints about this engine which is also in…

While accelerating to enter the highway a loud pop sound was heard and the engine lost power. I had enough speed to make the break-down lane. The sound was coming from the #3 cylinder on the right side of the motor. 4.6l v8. These were factory plugs and the vehicle is maintained every 3000-5000 miles.

Vehicle has started to jerk around 40-50 mph. Reviews states the spark plugs and coils are the issues. Wanted to change out spark plugs, but understand the plugs breaks upon removal and very expensive to fix. Know issue by ford motor company. Now i don't even want to attempt changing out the plugs. This issue should be recall or paid by ford for replacement, since this issue is know by ford. Issue is still ongoing,…

The second and third time, i was trying to slow down for the light with vehicles ahead of me.…
