FIRST I PURCHASED THE FORD F-150 2000 YEAR MODEL FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP ON OCT 28, 2019. IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS PROBLEMS KEEPING IT RUNNING. THEY PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT 2 DAYS LATER THEN WHILE REACHING 50 MPH MY TONS WOULD DROP AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCELERATE I HAD JUST PUT 51 DOLLARS IN THE TANK, THEN I PUSHED THE GAS TO THE FLOOR MY ROOMS WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO 3 THEN I WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS AND IT SEEMED TO DO A HARD SWITCH IN GEAR. AS THIS CONTINUED THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHOOK TILL I FIGURED OK JUST PUMP THE GAS AND LET OFF BEFORE THE SHAKING GOT TO BAD. NOW THE SHAKING AS GOTTEN WORSE AND THE TRUCK SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AT ALL OR DOES A HARD STALL. IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A NEW LOW RANGE MOTOR WITH ONLY 100,000 MILES ON IT AT LEAST THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT, I ALSO VERBALLY MADE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEALER THAT IF ANYTHING WAS TO GO WRONG HE WOULD FIX IT, HE AGREED. NOW THAT I HAVE SEEN MY TRUCK HAS 18 RECALLS AND ONE THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED, A DUPLICATE TITLE AND HAD 2 LIENS I HONESTLY WANT MY MONEY BACK.IM A SINGLE MOTHER GOING TO COLLEGE AND I'M ALL MY DAUGHTER GOTS. I TOLD THE DEALER I NEEDED A RELIABLE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ALL TIMES AND IT DOES IT ON THE HWY AND CITY STREETS.

THE HALF REAR DOORS ACCESSING THE REAR BENCH SEAT ARE DEFECTIVE. THE DOORS HAVE A DEFECT IN THE LOCKING/OPENING HANDLE. THE FORD DEALER LOCALLY WANTS TO CHARGE ME IN EXCESS OF $1119.00 TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS MATTER VIA THE INTERNET & HAVE FOUND THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON COMPLAINT.

I WAS DRIVING MY FORD F-150 AT AROUND 60 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE RUBBER PEALED OFF MY GENERAL GRABBER AW TIRE. AS A RESULT IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE AND ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY REAR FENDER WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AS WELL AS MY REAR LIGHT. I HAVE PRIMEWELL VALERA TIRES ON THE FRONT AND THEY ARE CRACKING. I PURCHASED ALL TIRES AT FIRESTONE. OF COURSE, WHEN BRINGING THE COMPLAINT TO FIRESTONE THEY SAY I HAVE TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER SINCE THEY DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THAT NAME BRAND.

TAKATA RECALL, ON MY 2000 FORD F-150 IT HAD VERY FEW ISSUES TILL THIS OCCURED. AT JUST OVER 130,000 MILES THE ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING ON THE INTERSTATE AND PROGRESSIVELY GREW WORSE AS I WAS LOOKING FOR A EXIT, IT STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND I GOT IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT DIED. LATER THAT DAY I HAD A TOW TRUCK PULL IT UP TO A TRUSTED SHOP ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY. THE MECHANIC THERE SAID THAT IT DROPED A ROD AND THE CRANKSHAFT WAS SHOT. AFTER TALKING TO HIM, HE SAID THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY FREQUENT OCCURRENCE. I TOOK IT TO GET A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER SHOP A FEW MILES AWAY AND HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION. BOTH MECHANICS AND A FEW FOURMS ON THE INTERNET SAID THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1998-2003 AND 2004 HERITAGE, THAT HAVE THE FORD 5.4 TRITON 2V ENGINE. AT THE MECHANIC THE THE TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED AS NONREPAREABLE ENGINE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE SWAPED OUT FOR A DIFFRENT ONE. THE COST OF THIS WAS FOR A REBUILT ENGINE BY JASPER'S BECASUE A DONOR TRUCK ENGINE WOULD BE PRONE TO THE SAME FAILURE. THE COST TO REPLACE WOULD TOTAL OUT TO BE AROUND $6500 BETWEEN PARTS AND LABOR INCLUDING THE NEW ENGINE. BE WARY OF THE FORD 5.4 2V ENGINES, THERE ARE A FEW UNICORNS OUT THERE THAT WILL NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT MOST, EVEN IF THEY HAVE REGULAR MAINTENANCE LIKE MINE WILL BE PRONE TO THIS FATE.

IN 2006, I CHANGED PLUGS AT 95,000 MILES AS A TUNE UP. SIX MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE #8 SPARK PLUG WAS EJECTED. HAD IT TOWED HOME, CHECKED THE THREADS AND REPLACED THE PLUG AND COIL. ON APRIL 6, 2017, AT 134,000 MILES, THE SAME PLUG WAS EJECTED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP TO INSTALL A HELICOIL REPAIR. THEY WARNED ME THAT THE NEXT FAILURE WOULD REQUIRE A HEAD REMOVAL, AND SIGNIFICANT COST. THIS IS A VERY WEAK POINT IN THIS DESIGN, FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
