Ford F-150

My husband and I have owned Ford vehicles for over 20 years and my Uncle actually owned a Ford dealership for over 30 years. After the experience we have had with my husband’s truck and my Ford Edge within the same month, I can assure you I will NEVER buy a Ford again! My husband’s F-150 3.5 liter Eco boost truck has only 70,000 miles and all at once everything started going wrong! These codes started going off:

I have a 2018 F150 with the 3.5 eco boost engine. I had to have the cam phasers rebuild/replaced at 26k miles. I am now at 75k and the truck is doing the same thing. I see tons of issues online with same issues but yet don’t see anything being done to solve the issue. I am a lifelong customer. I have owned and drove a Ford of some kind since I was 18. I cannot believe that Ford knows about this issues with this engine yet won’t do anything to fix them. I am now being told the cost will be in the thousands to fix the issue that should have been fixed on the first warranty fix instead of putting the same parts in that are causing the issue to begin with. Ford, I think you will be losing a loyal and lifelong customer because of this. I am one of your greatest advocates when the Ford vs others conversations are started. I am starting to think that this was a mistake.

I took my truck (F150 Raptor) to have heater core replaced, I informed the service department that there was also an issue with the transmission that needed to be looked at and a a/c issue. They fixed the heater core, however, that was all. After driving the truck off and traveling 10 miles all sorts of alarms went off, causing the truck to become disabled and non functioning. Cost of repair was over $2,800.00 several attempts to contact the service manager and even the store owner resulted in NOTHING. Bad service and bad dealership, they do not care about their customers!

Since we bought our brand new 2017 F-150 XL, we have had to bring it in time and time again for both electrical and mechanical issues. When a vehicle has so many issues right out the gate, there should be something to protect the consumers and the company should make it right‼

I bought a 2021 F150 Powerboost Hybrid. Ford should take a lesson from the Japanese cars. When you are at a red light and you press the gas the truck goes from electric battery to the motor. There is a tremendous hesitation and a jerking when that is performed. It only happens when the car is stopped and then you proceed. I brought it to the ford dealership and they were great trying to figure it out but they called the main ford techs and they said this is a normal operation. Horrible truck, I WANT TO SELL IT NOW and would tell people not to buy the Hybrid truck but the other normal F150 with motors are great trucks. Remember there is a flaw in the system for this Hybrid F150.

Bought a new 2020 F-150 with only 10 miles on it from Performance Ford in Bountiful, Utah after my vehicle needed a $4k repair. Drove new vehicle to Darwin, Minn. to visit friends (1340 miles). Drive truck 2 days after arriving and it started to blow blue smoke out the tailpipe. Took truck to Holt Ford in Cokato, Mn; 8 days later discovered #3 cylinder was scarred. Ford decided to replace engine. Now, 19 days later, Ford says truck is ready to pick up but I have to drive several hundred miles before I tow my 2,000 lb. motorcycle trailer and bike back home. Having owned Ford vehicles before without any problems this is discerning. I’m now faced with driving 2300 miles home in a vehicle I have absolutely no confidence in. Feel like I’ve been bent over and you know what.

As a previous owner of a landscaping company I quickly became a Chevy man after countless issues with Dodge and Ford trucks. Switching businesses I was forced into purchasing a Ford Transit 3500 with the 3.5 Ecoboost. I was pleasantly surprised with the torque and overall horsepower. Gas mileage wasn't too shabby at an average 14.5 miles per gallon.. For a high roof Euro style van that's decent. Since I no longer needed the van I found myself at a Ford dealer as no other dealer would give me a decent trade-in value with only 43k miles on the Transit Van.

I purchased a brand new Ford F-150 in 2016 with a Ecoboost engine. At the 3000 mile mark the engine failed and had to be completely replaced. Fast forward to the 30,000 mile mark. The second engine failed and half the engine is being replaced as we speak. BEWARE OF FORD ECOBOOST ENGINES. THEY ARE JUNK.

I'm experiencing huge paint failure on my 2015 F-150. Ford is refusing to fix even being within 5 years Unlimited Mileage corrosion warranty. Since truck is now aluminum Ford is washing their hands of the issue.

Bad transmission. I bought a 2015 Ford F-150 xlt with 5.0 engine. I was perfectly happy for a while and one day I went to pass someone and I accelerated in a manner that my transmission downshifted from 5th to 3rd and that’s when I noticed a loud noise. I studied it and learned about and when to reproduce the noise and went to the dealer to have it worked on. I drove and the technician rode with me and I reproduced the noise multiple times. The technician said he knew what it was and what to do. He contacted the main headquarters and did a few simple fixes that didn’t work and wanted me to schedule to drop my truck back off at a later date. I did what he asked and dropped the truck off at a later date. Ford had a fix for it. So we thought. He pulled the transmission and replaced a bunch of parts in the transmission. This was ford's ultimate fix for the problem and it went away for about 10,000 miles.
