Coolant leaks and rear glass shattering!!

Engine exhaust manifold warps and the manifold heads break off in the block

- Lubbock, TX, USA

Exhaust manifolds are warping causing a severe exhaust leak at around 45K miles. Vehicle sounds like a bird chirping or wild animal screaming when accelerating.This repair is quite costly and requires several parts and labor hours. No vehicle with this low miles should require such a costly repair so early. Ford needs to make it right with all owners of these vehicle's by recalling and fixing the issue with the engine exhaust manifolds warping. I was quoted $1,700 per manifold x2 to get the leaks fixed and my truck safely running down the road again without making embarrassing noises. Anyone who has had to make this repair should be fully reimbursed for the parts and labor by Ford. When they make the repair they replace the failed parts with the exact same parts the truck come with so until they are forced to come up with a solution all us unfortunate 3.5L ecoboost owners will be replacing these costly exhaust manifolds. Thank you for your time. Nathan

There's a known problem with fuse #27 overheating and causing the fuel pump to stop working. Do a google search. It affects many years prior to 2014. This is serious as it can leave people stranded. It has not thrown a computer code from 2014 F15. Simply replacing the fuse did allow starting but it will happen again. There's a fuse relocation kit (el3Z-14293A) available but Ford should be responsible for performing this repair. The fuse does'nt blow out but the fuse socket overheats for some reason.

Ford has obviously machined manifolds for the F-150 that are less than reliable and lack in quality. The exhaust manifolds are not hardened to endure engine heat and end up warping. This causes exhaust bolts to break, exhaust gaskets to be destroyed and in turn causes loud noises and potential damage to the motor on their F-150 trucks. Ford obviously knows that they have a problem on their hands as they are currently dealing with 1,700+ vehicles that are sitting in service shops across the country for this very reason. I called Ford to find out what was causing the issue and they explained that the materials just aren't holding up to driving conditions. Ford is working redesigning the manifolds and releasing them for purchase. However, it you have an issue this large and have admitted that it is due to your own failure to produce a product/part that will endure normal driving conditions, this should be recalled and fixed by Ford. Personally, I don't drive this truck very often. It is stored inside and taken care of to the extreme. The vehicle had been parked in a garage for a few days to a week (approximately) and when I started the truck I heard a loud "clicking" noise. I took it out for a drive to see if I could locate the noise. At first is was just a fast clicking noise on acceleration. This became a loud clicking mixed with a whistling noise. Thinking it was a bearing in one of the turbos, I took it in for inspection and they found the broken exhaust stud and damaged exhaust gasket. While working on fixing the issues, they found that all of this resulted from the deformed manifold.

Traveling down a two-lane road about 50 mph when the truck's engine suddenly lost all power and an error message popped up on the screen. Had to stop in the middle of the road blocking traffic due to no shoulder. Had to put truck in park, turn off motor and only then was able to get motor running again. Managed to get 1/4 mile back home. Found out from my obd diagnostics that the throttle body was stuck. Only option was to replace the throttle body to ensure it didn't occur in the middle of the road or worse, a major intersection. No problems since replacement.

I recently financed a truck and the seller did not disclose that it was a flood damage vehicle. I did auto check and found out there was also recalls on the truck when he sold it to me. That he didn't fix recalls are for the seatbelts N the bolts for the seabelts. The truck also is leaking oil. He also tempered with the engine lights because it's leaking oil but no lights turned on. I want a full refund of every dollar I have given him. He also lied on the odometer.

While driving on a country road, the truck lost all power and service wrench came on. I pulled to side of a 2 lane rd and coasted to a stop. Turned the cr off and on again and code was gone. I drove for about 4 minutes and the truck lost power again. This repeated about 4 times as I was in a mountain area with no cell service. I had to to keep trying to coast as far as I could to find service. Finally after about an hour of stalling on the side of the road, I was able to get cell service and contact help. At 1am we got a tow to the dealer that just repaired the vehicle. They said the problem was unrelated to the service just performed and we had a bad throttle body. The item was replaced.
