Rattle on start up. This truck sat for a couple of hours to over night and the engine sounded like a diesel for between 15 and 30 seconds. This seems to be a common issue with the truck engine the 3.5L ecoboost. A google search shows this is a very common issue and requires the engine to be torn down. The common problem seems to be the timing chain and timing chain tensioners. Ford Corp was absolutely worthless in supporting this repair. The dealer was absolutely wonderful. My truck was taken to the dealer on May 13 and I might get it August 16 or 17. Parts were ordered on May 15 and estimated delivery was July 31. That's unsatisfactory! Ford did not have any parts as there are so many engines being repaird for this issue.

While driving my 2017 frod F 150, 2.7 ecoboost engine with my travel trailer in tow. My engine stopped running as I came to stop at the end of an exit ramp. I was able to manually start the engine but it repeatedly stalled if I did not push on the accelerator. This problem persisted for several more stop intersections as I made my way home. I had been traveling back from a trip towing my tt and had maintained a speed around 65 to 70 mph. I had travel probably close to 200 miles since my last stop. Had no prior issues during my trip and at no time during the issue was I ever warned of an issue. No codes were stored. The only light that come on on the dash was the battery light when the engine stalled.

Upon cold start vehicle blows blueish/white smoke for approximately 6-8 seconds then stops. Does not smoke while driving and vehicle runs just fine otherwise. Took to dealership and they said it was a PCV valve stuck open and they relaced it.....that didn't fix the problem.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

Cold cranking noise concerning ecoboost system and lifters...making loud noise and I am being told it's normal...plus clunking noise underneath my truck that sounds like the motor or the drive shafts is going to fall out...I am also being told by dealership that this is normal...I know better...the truck is defective and unsafe. Now they are refusing to address the issues.

On 01-24-2019, I stopped at a red light and noticed an odor coming from my 2017 Ford F-150 truck and saw some smoke coming from under the hood. A motorist next to me pointed to the bottom of the truck; I rolled down the window and he said he thought there was a fire under the truck. I pulled over, shut off the truck, saw a small fire on the frame under the engine. The other motorist put it out with a fire extinguisher. A state police officer called the fire dept. Who further extinguished the smoldering. The vehicle was towed. My insurance company sent an adjuster who concluded that the fire was caused by a failed pinon seal in the differential, which is part of the power train. The legal department of Ford Motor Co. (office of general counsel) stated that the fire occurred because the vehicle was driven on pavement in 4WD. I assert that this is not true and is a tactic of Ford Motor Co. To avoid honoring their product warranty or taking responsibility for a potential safety hazard.

While driving. Vehicle loses all electrical and engine power without warning, a complete failure. Had towed to Ford shop and could not be diagnosed and no fault code was generated. Vehicle was returned without repair. A few days later, vehicle died again. No electric no power in the middle of road. I am I a wheel chair and could not get out. Returned to shop today and am awaiting them to try to recreate the issue because no warning lights for codes are being generated when it fails. This failure could be fatal if within an intersection or other dangerous scenarios are present. Lose of power to steering, brakes. All functions are lost that engine power and electrical power operate>

I bought 2017 F-150 platinum from levittown Ford I own it less than 1 year and have now 15,000 miles on it. My problem first started around may of 2018 it was random happening off and on I was getting a grinding noise when I started the truck only when I stared in usually first thing in the morning or if it sat for more than 6 or more hours. The problem got worse as the summer progressed I made my first appointment with stevens Ford on 07/10/2018 after being told they had a back log of several weeks and this was the earliest appointment I could get. Well I picked up the car at night and the claim they did not hear the noise yet on the receipt it says due shop over load. So I made a appointment with the dealership I bought it from and the earliest date I could get was 07/25/2018 and they were finally able to diagnose the problem being the timing chain and cams as per attached paper work. I was without my vehicle for almost one month and now after picking it up I still feel a slippage in the engine as I drive it. Now after doing extensive research I have found that the 3.5 6 cylinder eco boost engine has had this problem dating back to 2004 and have really never fixed the problem. It usually effects the engine after the 60,000 warranty expires and I have rarely seen this occur in a truck as new as mine. I am fighting with Ford on all avenues to get my truck bought back by them because I have lost all confidence in this product.

Vehicle has 23K miles and blue smoke billows from the tailpipe on cold startup. The dealership replaced the cylinder heads and various O rings and advised that the smoke should stop after 1-2 weeks. It did not. I returned the truck to the dealer in 2 weeks and they inspected the truck for 3 days concluding that it runs "as designed". blue smokes still billows from the tailpipe on cold startup with no apparent help from Ford or my local dealership!

With the vehicle in park, with the weight of the vehicle resting on the transmission's parking pawl, or resting on the parking brake, when the engine is started, there is an intermittent clunk that can be heard. It can vary from no clunk to a very loud clunk that can be heard from 40ft or more. This can happen when vehicle is hot, cold, driven short distances or long distances, on an incline or not. The 3 dealerships have reproduced the issue, but have called it normal or a characteristic. One dealership's service director says his demo vehicles make the same noise and that adding bigger tires and a lift kit made it worse. He also said and I quote "because its not abnormal, there is no fix". he stated that Ford techline says its normal as well.
