The engine began to tick on top. Later it began to tick on the bottom. The engine light came on and I had it checked. The code said it was a cam sensor. As it turned out the engine was not getting the proper amount of oil due to a clogged a oil port restriction. End result had to replace the engine. While at the service center another truck came in with the same problem with similar mileage. Now my son who has a 2005 ford f150 is experiencing the same issues with his truck with 96000 miles that's three that I know of.

I brought my truck in to my local ford dealer because the check engine light came on. It is a 2006 f150 4.6l - after his inspection, the mechanic stated that the bottom of the #2 spark plug (manufacture installed) had disintegrated and fell into the head causing so much damage to the #2 cylinder that I have to replace the entire engine at a cost of over $6,000 plus tax. It will take over a week to fix and I do not have another vehicle. I would like ford to reimburse me for the expense. I have written to their "customer care"( [xxx]) department, but have had no helpful or satisfactory results. This is a known issue as ford has issued a tsb and developed a tool to assist with the removal of faulty spark plugs.

When driving home, check engine light started flashing, immediately stopped and had vehicle towed to a well reputable shop for diagnosis and repair. Was diagnosed with two fuel injectors failing and needing replaced along with all spark plugs needed replaced. 6 of the 8 plugs snapped in half and needed to be burrowed out on top of it costing $90 per plug drilling out. Total for repairs came to $2300. But after repairs were completed I still do not have a running vehicle. The engine starts but oil pressure drops after 5 mins of running. I would love to find a solution to this, if this is common or not. And if so, why is it not recalled?

The vehicle was being driven at 35 MPH and simply stopped running. Vehicle could not be re-started. Towed to repair shop. The mechanic tested the fuel system and determined the fuel pump had burned out. The fuel pump was replaced at a cost of $552.05. One day after repairs were completed the check engine warning light was activated and the code revealed a fuel system issue. The vehicle was immediately taken back to the same repair shop. The fuel pressure was operating at 90 psi. After several unsuccessful visits, it was eventually determined that the fuel pump control module was severely corroded and malfunctioning. The "pot" metal has been completely corroded and there is an approximate 1 inch diameter hole leading directly to the electric panel. The control module was replaced for an additional $399.89. The design of this module using "pot" metal and simply bolting to the steel axle is ridiculous. This item should be an immediate recall within the "salt belt" areas of north america. I have documented receipts from the repair shop and have kept the original fuel module as well. Ford motor company should recognize this issue as an obvious re-call item and be held responsible for associated repair bills.

While turning truck started to emit noises, sounded like an exhaust problem, manifold etc. No service engine light on and all gauges were normal. Then while driving, as truck shifted down to overdrive, noise returned, loss of power, but again no service engine light, gauges all normal. Took vehicle to dealer, have been told, engine needs to be replaced,(81,250 miles/130,000km) for a meager $6000. Vehicle has been dealer maintained since new, oil changed every 3125, miles/5000km (by dealer) still no service engine light, gauges still reading normal. Manufacturer will do nothing. Looking for lawyer who would like to start class action suit against manufacturer, considering all the issues I have found on the 2006 f150 v8 triton since starting research yesterday, there are a lot of us that ford is not willing to assist.
