Driving and started to shake, has nasty rattle (death rattle) threw code p0355. Fixed the code by installing new wires $500. 00. Fixed for 2 weeks then started doing it again and code p0355 came up again. Has lack of power and shakes bad. Very much a hazard to drive.
Tl the contact owns a 2007 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the cam phaser sensors failed, which caused the engine to shake abnormally and the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics where it was diagnosed that the cam phaser sensors needed to be replaced. The dealer (fairway Ford of evans, 4333 washington rd, evans, GA 30809, (706) 854-9200) diagnosed that the cam phaser sensors had an internal fault and recommeded that the engine assembly be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but had not issued an engine recall to address the failure. There were nine tsbs on the engine and engine assembly. The vehicle remained parked due to the intermittent failures. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
Blown out spark plug #3 cylinder, repair lasted less than 3 weeks and failed on state higher 41 in California witch cause major loss of power going uphill and stalled in the middle of traffic with my wife and child in the vehicle. The incident left us with no choice but to walk across heavy traffic to the side of the highway and leave the vehicle in the road way.
Every vehicle that Ford put out with a cam phaser is experiencing issues with the can phaser. Any sae certified mechanic will verify this. This is a horrible design. Why hasn't Ford stepped up to the plate and fixed this issue? I believe they are trying to bury it so that they don't have to incur the cost of fixing their mistake. Due to this issue I've been stranded on the highway. The truck looses power, won't go into gear. . . . Etc. . . . This happens after the can phaser has activated and then I come to a stop. Then it's misfiring stalling not going into gear. . . You name it it's an issue. A compute read on the obd2 stayed that I had misses in ignition coils 1,3 and 7 replaced them then the teaching stayed misfired is 2,4 and 5 replaced them and all the same issues. . . Every mechanic I've spoken to says absolutey the phases and that they have to put a cam phaser delete kit in these vehicles do get rid of these problems. Why hasn't Ford been held responsible for such a terrible design?.
In starting the vehicle, there was a loud bang, and then clattering. It turned out to be a blown spark plug. The threads on the engine head and spark plug were stripped/smashed. The coil was coil was also damaged beyond repair. Both mechanics I saw to fix the problem were well aware of problems with blown spark plugs in the f150, and on-line research indicates this has been a problem with the f150 since 1997. The spark plugs were factory installed, and I was sill under the mileage recommendation for new plugs. Very disappointing that Ford would not step-up to acknowledge that this is their problem and pay for the fix. The Ford corporate headquarters rep I spoke with claimed to have never heard of this problem before.

Our 2007 f150 intermittently losses power underload, stumbles, bug down and stalls. We had a very horrendous experience the last time it happened we almost got wiped out by an 18-wheeler tractor because ofextreme diffculty manuevering backwards downhill with stalled engine, no power steering, no power brakes. Other drivers were so irate because we became road hazard at that moment in time. My husband keep ontrying to start the engine and lots of smoke came out of the dash. He immediately opened the hood and isolated the battery. A certified mechanic recommended that we should address the ignition spark plug problem due to the symptom and mileage of the truck. We then found out that #4 firewall-passenger side spark plug was broken (specialty tooling rotunda and cal cannot remove it). Got lucky on the other 3 separated once the tools managed to remove them. It needs $1000-$3300 to rectify the damage done by the bad product designed motorcraft spark plugs. Ford denied help on potential repair bill due to warranty lapse. The dealer recommended not to need any tune up except filter/oil changes prior to 100,000 miles. At the present we got rob of our only "reliable?" mobility. However Ford credit keeps collecting from me to pay for a dead horse. Ford had full awareness of the cancer in these said engines but failed to notify the f150 owners. For the safety of both motorists and pedestrians alike, does this very serious driveability problem warrants an immediate investigation and recall. The problem started oct 2010, Nov 2010 we thought it was bad gas so we keep changing fuel filters, then Dec 22, 2010 it died on the freeway.
