My A/C went out, but began coming on and shutting off. I drove from my home to work, approximately 6 miles, and parked in the parking lot. In the parking lot, I began to smell burning and my SUV began smoking. I turned my SUV off and got out of the car. As I got out, coolant was pouring onto the pavement. When the hood was popped, we noted the coolant boiling which caused the cap to pop off and the coolant to pour out. I had my vehicle towed to Coconut Point Ford to be diagnosed. I was told there was a fuse blown, the control unit and wire harness was melted and the interior blower motor needed to be replaced. Upon research, I noted the 2015-2017 blower motors were recalled for this exact reason. I thought my truck was going to catch fire. I have videos of everything as it was happening and will share if needed.

Expedition

  • 90,000 miles
2014 Ford Expedition el king ranch V8 5.4L 3V - 90,000 miles vehicle began to shake as I was pulling into a parking lot mimicking a stall. Shaking became more intense as we slowed speed into the parking spot and again became more intense upon shifting into park. Code scanner brought up a cylinder 8 misfire. Replaced all spark plugs(because 90K is about when you should) and cylinder 8 coil, no positive results. Code scanner now throws out a random misfire code, cylinder 3, and cylinder 8 misfire. Brought to a garage and the diagnostic they ran showed the cam phaser hsa failed. This must be a well known problem to Ford as there is an abundance of information easily found online and a class action lawsuit about the issue for 5.4L engines for 2008-2012.
