Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford f-150. The service engine light illuminated. The dealer advised the contact that the engine needed to be replaced while he was replacing the spark plugs.

Truck has a rough idle issue since 6k. I now have 30k. The problem happens when the truck is started cold sometimes is very bad engine shake, also when idling at a stop light engine seems to shake. No check engine light comes on even when the truck is running so bad it seems like it is going to stall. I have had it at the dealer many times and they can't find a problem they say because no trouble codes show in the computer or check engine light does not come on.
At 33k mile my 2007 f 150 with the 5.4 liter engine had engine failure. The engine failed as a result of a know problem that ford has with a back of the 5.4 liter engine having to much end play on the cam shaft. As a result the engine was starved for oil and failed in the middle of a trip. The oil pressure dropped to 0 when the engine was full of oil. Ford's suggestion is to only replace heads when they know that the engine was starved for oil. They will not officially admit to the problem but several ford employees have told me ford is aware of the situation. The engine initially locked up and would not re start. Had this happened at high speed the situation could have been deadly.
Engine makes a rattling noise upon slowing down/stopping/or stopped and vehicle stalls.
Upon starting vehicle after "cold start" vehicle knocked and sputtered, at times vehicle starter sounded to like it was sticking took the vehicle to the dealer who could not duplicate problem. Dealer advised the problem could be caused by after market oil filter. New oil filter was placed on vehicle.
Truck began to shake and stall suddenly. Took to ford dealer who said that due to 7,000 mile gap in oil change, sensors that regulate timing change gummed up. Needed oil change. Dealer performed. 3 days later, vehicle acted up again. Took back to dealer. Dealer tore apart engine, then couldn't start engine at all! They called ford manufacturer who informed them that computer failed to tell engine to pump oil. All system parts then failed and engine blew! Vehicle only 6 months old. New engine being installed.
Black oily smoke coming from exhaust pipe,engine noise.
The idle on the vehicle is up to 2000 RPM, it is unsafe when the idle does not return to the factory specification. The dealer worked on it and said it would get better and gave me a tsb 619400 / 19508. 2007 vehicles- gas engine vehicles with higher than normal idle speeds. This is unsafe............
