ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED NEW AND I HAVE RECENTLY HAD MORE FUEL GAS WASTE QUICKLY IN THE PAST YEAR. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL LINE CHANGED IN JUNE 2017 BECAUSE A SPARK PLUG BURNT OUT AND CAUSED IT TO HAVE A LEAK THAT WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK. I HAVE 123K MILES ON IT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LINE COMES ON EVERY TIME AFTER HALF A GAS TANK IS DONE. I HAD THE TRUCK DRIVING AND IT SHUTS OFF ON ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT WILL HAVE A STRONG SHAKING OF THE MOTOR OR NO WARNING AT ALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I'M VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE CAMSHAFT WHICH IS WHAT THE ERROR CODE POPS UP AND THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. EVERY THING ELSE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED BUT I'M STILL HAVE THE ENGINE AND FUEL PROBLEM. THE GAS GOES SO FAST AND THIS IS A V8 WHERE I USUALLY DRIVE A 6 MILE TO WORK NOW SAYS IT HAS BEEN A 40 MILE DRIVE. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO AND MAY TAKE IT BACK TO TRADE FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BRAND. I HAD TO PARK THE TRUCK AFTER IT SHUT OFF ON ME AGAIN ON A SIDE STREET BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY.

ENGINE
I HAVE THE 5.4 ENGINE IN MY 2007 FORD EXPEDITION WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES WHICH I PURCHASED IN 2007. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING CAM SENSOR PROBLEMS, THROTTLE BODY PROBLEMS AND NEED MAJOR REPAIRS. I HAVE VISITED MANY SITES AND UNDERSTAND THAT FORD HAS BEEN SUED BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE AND NOTHING CAME FROM THIS SUIT. THIS STARTED AROUND 2-3 WEEKS AGO, I HAD BEEN TRAVELING FOR 2-1/2 HOURS AND JUST PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO ENTER INTO MY HOUSING PLAN, WHEN MY CAR LOST RPMS, BECAME VERY ROUGH, AND THEN STALLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON OPEN IT ROAD IT RIDES GREAT UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN AND THE RPM FALLS, THEN IT STUMBLES AND STALLS. I HAD AT THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE OF TIMES, BUT UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I COULD NOT GET IT DIAGNOSED. OVER THE WEEKEND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY LITE AND AS I STATED IT IS THE CAM POSITION SENORS AND STATES THAT THE SYSTEMS TOO RICH. I TALKED WITH A FORD REP TODAY AND THIS WILL BE ABOUT A $2000 REPAIR BILL, BUT UNTIL I CAN GET IT TO THEM AND THEY PLACE ON THEIR COMPUTER, THEY CANNOT GIVE ME THEIR FINAL ESTIMATE IF IT CAN BE REPAIRED OR I NEED A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE MANY MISGIVINGS ABOUT THIS SINCE ALL THAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A FAULTY ENGINE, AND BUYERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE BUYING A USED VEHICLE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO IS DEFINITELY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER DIAGNOSIS WE FOUND THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IN LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK HAD BURNED AND MELTED AT THE WIRE CONNECTORS. HAD THE FUEL BEEN LOWER AND THE WIRES EXPOSED THE FUMES WOULD HAVE EXPLODED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM A FIRE. THE FUEL TANK IS ALSO LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE LEFT SIDE SEATS.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. PRESSED ACCELERATOR TO PASS A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED TO PASS (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), BUT THEN DOWNSHIFTED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 1ST GEAR ON ITS OWN, WHICH IMMEDIATELY REVVED THE ENGINE UP TO RED LINE (5000 RPM) AND CAUSED THE REAR TIRES TO START TO SLOW TO LESS THAN VEHICLE SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE TIRES STARTED SMOKING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SKID SIDEWAYS TO THE RIGHT OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN THE EMBANKMENT. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DOWN THE GRASSY EMBANKMENT AND FINALLY GET THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE REAR TIRES AND NARROWLY AVOID CRASHING. THE ONLY REASON THERE WAS NOT A CRASH WAS DUE TO THAT SECTION OF THE INTERSTATE HAVING A RELATIVELY SHALLOW GRASSY DOWNWARD EMBANKMENT. 1000 FEET IN EITHER DIRECTION OF THAT INTERSTATE WOULD HAVE CAUSED A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK INTO GEAR AND DRIVE IT UP TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SAFELY BACK TO MY HOME. ONCE HOME, I WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH THAT THERE IS AN EXISTING FORD RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT IT IS ONLY ON 2012 EXPEDITIONS AND 2011-2012 FORD F-150S WITH THE 6R80 TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAS THE 6R75 TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS THE PREDECESSOR TO THE RECALLED ONE ABOVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I LEFT TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING AROUND NOON THIS MARCH. ABOUT 15 MIN. INTO MY DRIVE GOING UP A HILL ON A HIGHWAY AND RIGHT AFTER PASSING A CAR THAT WAS DOING ABOUT 50 IN A 70 MPH ZONE, MY CAR JUST DIED WHILE TOPPING THE HILL. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, AND NO BREAKS. THANKFULLY I HAVE HAD CAR WITH OUT POWER STEERING AND KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE TOUGH TO GET IT ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE BEING HIT BY THE SEMI THAT WAS BEHIND ME. IT WOULD NOT START OR DO ANYTHING AFTER THAT SO I POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK MY FUSES. AND FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE. I HAD OVER A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT AND NO WARNING AS TO ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I CHECK ALL MY FLUIDS ON THE REGULAR AND HAVE OILS CHANGED WHEN NEEDED. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS PULLED ALL THE WIRES ON THE PUMP WERE MELTED. LUCKY IT DUDNT CATCH FIRE, AND THE PART TO REPLACE THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE.
