Engine makes a knocking noise. I was told by a Ford dealer that they can't repair it because Ford doesn't know what is wrong with the engine. I was told by Ford dealer to drive it till it quits. The engine could lock up at any time, possibly on the highway which could cause an accident to occur. I called Ford customer service and was told there was nothing they can do.
We purchased the vehicle new. Before it was a year old, we heard a knocking sound. We were told it was normal. After a couple of years, the knocking got louder, took it to the dealer ship, they said it was normal. As the years passed, we asked other dealerships, repair shops, and there was never a recall. We were always told not to worry about it. The knocking sound got louder, the engine was bogging and today it is in the shop for a new engine and we have to come up with $6,000. 00. There are thousands of complaints like mine. Why is there not a recall?????.
