I have been to the Ford dealer numerous times for these problems and this last time their engineer that came in has noted the problem I have. They consider this normal and acceptable as it is. For being a new truck it should have to be in the shop for all the problems it's had. I have all the service reports if needed. I pray that these problems can be resolved. You may contact me at home if any questions (505-875-1288) thank you for your time

Engine has been replaced three times. Engine is going again, but this time they are telling me that the noise from the valves and lower end on engine are acceptable to them. They will not fix at this time.
Frame bending upward between the cab and the back bed. Dealer notified, and refused to help in this matter. Engine and rear end had to be replaced and brakes repaired.
Engine burned up oil, but was not leaking. Would put approximately 2 quarts of engine oil in vehicle. This caused engine to smoke. Took vehicle to mechanic who failed to locate the cause of the problem. Took vehicle to another dealership & mechanic claimed "O" ring seals may have caused the problem.
This vehicle has a terrible transmission problem - the 2nd to 3rd shift, and the 3rd to 2nd shift are rough and slowly tear the transmission apart. Mine has been repaired 4 times and is still suffering from poor shifts and undependability. The engine had a very severe knock when first started - the engine was replaced at 14,500 miles with a remanufactured unit. This vehicle has had 2 transmission rebuilds, one transmission replacement and a remanufactured engine and the vehicle only has 14,900 miles on the odometer!
When the transmission is in first gear, the engine is shuts off and vehicle will roll. Dealer said that engine bleeds off compression which allows vehicle to roll when it is shut off while in first gear.
The engine is terribly noisy at all speeds, coming from valve train. The truck also has no appreciable power, they rate at 205 hp, but I sincerely dispute that rating on my truck, w/ air conditioning operating, it's even worse! gas mileage with air conditioning on is terrible! a Plymouth horizon was able to outpace me on the highway!
Entire bed and fender welds have tiny rust spots. Dealer was contacted and cannot remedy the entire problem. 2) when starting vehicle loud noise sounds intermittently. Problem still exists. Provide further information.
Poor gas mileage; has averaged 15.4 miles per gallon, and Ford advertises 16 city to 20 highway. Other F150 owners report poor gas mileage. Is this false advertising because I would never have purchased truck getting 15.4 miles per gallon when I travel mostly highway miles. I have a loud rattle noise under truck and the catalytic converters and muffler have all been replaced! also, vibration via gas pedal from engine (?) noted between 45 and 55 mph.
