STEERING
I was driving home on the 4 lane from baseball practice and my power steering went out all of the sudden and now I have to fight to get it to turn. I took it to the Ford dealership I bought the truck at and they said the steering rack had went out and I needed a new one. That's a $3000 repair and I feel that a truck in that year model under 150,000 miles should lose power steering

ENGINE
The bolts on the exhaust manifold cannot withstand the torque and heat generated from the engine and turbos. The bolts snap and cause sagging and warping of the manifolds, which allow for unfiltered exhaust fumes to release into the engine bay and sequentialy into the main cabin. This not only causes carbon filled exhaust enter the environment, but it also exposes to passengers as well as any children in the cabin to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. This is a known design flaw by the engineers at Ford, and they have released a second generation of the manifold including an additional bolt hole. There have also been aftermarket parts created for this with more bolt holes to match the amount of holes that are available in the engine. Being a this is a known design flaw and increases environmental and personal risk, should be formally acknowledged by Ford and a recall should be administered at the cost of the company.

ENGINE
Saturday 2/10/24 my check engine light came on and it is throwing P2005/P2007 which is apparently really common. The intake manifold needs to be changed. The 1st place I looked they have been waiting over a year for parts and it is a pretty expensive repair for something that is well known and very common. It causes idling issues when stopping and other people reported no power when taking off which could be a huge safety issue. I am not sure how FORD can have an issue this big and it not be recalled.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Catalytic Converters have failed for second time. [XXX] original catalytic converters failed at 48060 mileage and Ford replaced under warranty including the assembly. [XXX] replacement catalytic converters failed again at 92830 mileage. Neither the original or replacement converters were working at 50,000 miles or reached the National emission warranty of 80,000 miles. Reduced fuel mileage by 30% has been identified. Karl Flammer Ford 41975 US 19 North Tarpon Springs FL 34689 indicates no Ford programs cover $4000 plus repair. Ford Customer Affairs POBox 6248 Dearborn MI 48126 [XXX] responded no programs cover this repair and they work with NHTSA on consumer concerns. The Catalytic Converters shouldn’t fail at low mileage in a Ford F150 especially twice with reduced fuel usage. As a senior, a $4000. plus repair is a hardship for an equipment failure that should be either identified for recall or identified as a lemon.

SERVICE BRAKES
When braking, the brake pedal goes to the floor and makes stopping the vehicle difficult. There is no sign of leaks from the lines, and is acting like the open recall on other VIN numbers on this model however Ford does not have an open recall on this VIN. The recall is the brake booster leaking into the master cylinder.

ENGINE
My 2.7L echo-boost engine had to have 2 cylinder heads replaced at 62K miles, fortunately I had purchased the extended warranty. I have since learned this is an engine design that is prone to this problem. Unfortunately they are still allowed to put these engines in their trucks. I have since purchased additional warranty to protect myself from further expense related to the bad engine design. I'm upset that when I go to sell my truck the carfax report will include this engine issue and my truck will be devalued for it. Prior to my taking it to the dealer, my check oil light was coming on with no trace of an oil leak anywhere, they knew right away what the cause was because they had seen this problem many times before. It took them 6 weeks to get my truck repaired. The warranty company kept stalling on whether they were going to pay for the repair, which eventually they did.
