Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2006: “The fail safe engine light comes on when driving at any speed or when the fuel gage gets low. I have to turn my truck off, wait a few minutes , then turn it back on for it to cooperate correctly. While the light is on it drives sluggishly.”
NHTSA complaint #11000013, filed 2017-06, 140,000 miles2007: “The truck's transmission shutters, so the whole truck vibrates. This is a huge safety issue. It causes the truck to slow down and overdrive does not kick in. So you have to slow down and force the truck to shift. This is a 5.4 triton motor. I did change the plugs and coil packs. This job is not cheap. If you look at the ford forums I am one of thousands. If you shut the over drive off problem is fixed but you can't drive over 55 without toasting the motor and using a huge amount of fuel. It appears this happens very frequently. This should be a recall issue. …”
