The consumer took vehicle for service because of a ticking noise heard on vehicle. The dealership indicated that the ticking noise was coming from the catalytic converter, and the head gasket had blown. Which resulted in an oil leak into the exhaust manifold. The dealership replaced the catalytic converter and the head gasket; however, the ticking noise still exist after the repair was performed. Within 300 miles after the parts were replaced, the spark plug came out of the right side of the engine head which resulted in engine failure. The dealership refused to honor repair warranty and perform any further service on the vehicle.

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.
