The week of my wedding, I had nothing but trouble from this truck. The shop fixed the problem and told me to drive it around and see what happens. It was fine until the next morning. The truck engine light came on and was missing and running a little rough. I had to pick up a friend at the airport... an hour away. By the time I was returning home the truck was running very rough. I took it back to the shop and they determined that what they had fixed the day before was bad again and 2 more plugs were bad. I took it back to the dealership were I purchased the truck and they've had it 14 days now. They say it's ready to pick up and fixed what the shop before had fixed! I doubt this is a real fix!

Ford will fix only one injector at a time and only if it's leaking when the mechanic checking see's it leaking. If its not leaking when he checks( which it might not be) you pay $100.00 because the dealer can't warranty it. The problem can come and go so some people pay and don't get a fix and others have to come back again an again when one of the remaining ones goes bad. It gets worse. A bad injector will cause the converter to go bad and then the truck won't run.It gets worse. So many went bad Ford does'nt have ANY parts in stock anywhere to get them running. Mine has been sitting at the dealer since 3-18-09 today is 4-28-09. Parts newest date to come (had 2 dates before this one) 5-14-09
Update from Jun 6, 2009: just got it back 6-5-09

This is an ongoing problem Ford will not acknowledge or repair. I will be trading the vehicle in for another manufacturers vehicle due to this, the frequency of occurrence and Fords unwillingness to tell me what I believe they know...

Took the truck to the shop (it was running a little rough) They replaced all my spark plugs and two injectors also reset the computer. I picked it up and stalled at the first red light. drove a little further and everything went to sh*t and started smelling fuel.
Took it back Monday first of June and they have had it now two weeks. When i took it back i gave them all the fault codes and they told me that was from the mechanic trouble shooting (I was right there when he reset the catches also the light did not come on for a few miles down the road)
The computer has been replaced two modules they have checked all the wiring and still have no clue- they also done compression check and everything seems ok but still getting a random misfire on 1,3,7,8,and 4 cylinders.
this is the last time i will ever buy a ford. My wife's Nissan pathfinder has 100,000 more miles on it and has not had any problem except normal wear and tear.
