2009 Ford F-150 Engine Problems

“While in drive at idle speed the trucks RPM jumped to approximately 4000 RPM instantly . I had to push my foot brake as hard as I could and put shifter in neutral then it was ok for a while then this happened again several weeks later took to dealer no check engine light could not find a problem very dangerous situation.”

“My truck stalled while entering freeway lanes. I went from 60mph to 10mph and was nearly read ended. The truck finally stalled just as I made it to the shoulder. Two hours later, my truck stalled while doing 40mph on a surface street. I had to pull into a center turn lane to avoid blocking traffic. Fuel was at half a tank. Oil level was good.”

“2009 Ford f150 with 146,000 miles needed to have engine replaced due to scored cams. It appears this has been a common problem with the 5.4 engines. We are one-time owners of this vehicle and have great maintenance records. I believe a recall should be made for this”

“Vehile has/shut down on 6 or 7 separate occasions while sitting in a parking lot or at a stop lights the steering also locked up while trying to turn left . I have taken it to several but the only thing they tell I need a new engine ,. Which we cannot afford, we got it serviced on time and took care of it thinking we would have it for many years. Now it is garbage I have always defended Ford but now am so upset don't know what we will do .”

“I was on the highway and when I attempted to pass a vehicle,when I floored the gas pedal the truck lost all power for 3 to 5 seconds almost causing an accident. It has been that way from the day I bought it until present. When I questioned the dealer on the lose of power problem I was told nothing can be done about it because it is a normal issue with fly by wire accelerator.”
