I have a 2007 Ford F-150 with a 5. 4l v8 engine. There was intermittent rattle noise (knocking) and rough idle. After the vehicle warms up and I come to a stop or slow roll the vehicle begins to shake and a loud knocking noise is heard in the engine. This is a known issue with this engine and Ford denies it is. I had it fixed in September 2011, which was covered under warranty with 49,934 miles. The vehicle has started to do the same thing and currently has 82,000 miles on it. I was informed by both the dealer and Ford motor company they will not repair under warranty even though this was prior issue during the warrantly time. Dealer wants approximately $300. 00 to inspect to determine the extent of damage to the engine. This is safety issue as it happens during slow speeds or idle at stop lights and only way to make it stop is to shut off the vehicle or rev up the rpms. I believe the TSB was aware of this issue in 2010 but the manufacture has not notified consumers. This is a manufacturer defect and Ford motor needs to repair or replace the engine at their cost.

I was travelling on the I-74 from cincinnatti to indianapolis when there was a loud pop and then a fluttering sound before the engine power failed. I was left in a vulnerable place in the pouring rain with two horses on a trailer. When taken to pearson Ford it was determined that a spark plug had blown out - despite repair the engine is still making a rattling noise and I am currently being quoted $thousands to investigate and repair what is believed to be fragments of the aluminimum thread that have fallen into the cylinder - this is Ford's design fault and they are currently unwilling to stand behind their brand and put this right.

Truck died, lost all power while driving down the road. This has happened 5 - 6 times through the years starting around 2010. Sometimes driving down freeway sometimes driving slowly into driveway. Battery was checked, it was okay and connected fine. Various other engine problems later include a rattle noise and low rpm. Running hot, chugging along like running out of gas, etc. Having to pull over till it could go again. Currently just a little over 100,000 miles.

Truck starts making a loud ticking noise coming from engine, I have always gotten oil changes and have no clue what this is but it has lowered power also. It is still making the ticking/rattling noise and its loud. Carried to Ford dealership and was told it would cost $2000. 00 or more. Told this is normal. I don't think a gasoline engine should sound like a diesel. This seems to be a manufacturer issue and Ford needs to take responsibility for the problem.

Engine makes a rattling noise upon slowing down/stopping/or stopped and vehicle stalls.

On April 17, I noticed a whistling sound coming from the engine, but could not find the source of the sound, and thought it was a vacuum line leak. I started the truck on the morning of April 14 and I heard a loud popping sound followed by a small black cloud, upon examining under the hood, I found the #3 spark plug on the passenger side had blown out of the hole and the coil had been blown off with it, breaking the plastic that had a steel insert that was screwed down to the block. I tried to replace the spark plug, but could not get it started in to the threads on the head. I found out that o'reily's sells a cylinder head repair kit # 42025 specifically for this problem, it had a insert that you screwed into the head and it was threaded on the inside to accept a extended length spark plug that was included in the kit, I tried this kit @ $64 dollars plus the new coil @ $43, upon completing the work with the kit and the new coil installed, I started the truck and still had the same whistling problem and was losing compression, I contacted a local mechanic, and found out from him that this is a very common problem and he see this same problem once every two weeks or so, I took the truck to him and he worked on it for approx. 6 hours and has the problem fixed, however, he said he couldn't promise that this is not going to happen again, to the same plug or others. If Ford knows there is a problem why won't anybody make them fix it and make it right for the little guy (consumers?).

When we purchased our new Ford truck it was making a rattling noise in the engine and we were informed that it was no major problem. Come to find out the engine needed to be replaced so the dealership keep the new truck and put in a new engine. When they delivered the truck a few weeks later it was making the same noise. So we had it taken back to the dealership and they had to get another engine to put in the truck because the second engine was not any good either. We bought the truck in March and did not even get to drive it until the end of April. It was in the shop for over 30 days and it had around 8 to 9 hundred miles put on it by the dealership.
