Engine knocking on a cold startup. The knock is more easily heard from the passenger side of the vehicle. The knocking is the most noticeable for the first 30 seconds of startup. This occurs every day. The amount of knocking follows an increase in engine RPM.

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.

The engine shut off and the truck rolled to a stop. Meanwhile, several warning messages flashed on the instrument panel and smoke began pouring from under the hood. I got out and looked under the vehicle and sparks were profusely flying. I walked away from the vehicle and the engine ignited within 5 seconds. The entire incident occurred within 10-15 seconds. The vehicle was totaled.

Two different occasions I was driving 65 on the freeway, the engine compartment started violently shaking. The car lost acceleration and flashed the check engine light. Additionally I will be sitting at stop lights and you will get the same shaking from the engine compartment.

  • 2,000 miles
Engine stalls at stop (after letting up on brake and auto start stop re-starts the engine) followed by "hill start assist not available" error flashes along with other brake related errors; vehicle engine won't turn over/start unless transmission is put back into park. Upon restarting all engine error/fault messages are cleared and things seem back to normal. Today was the second time this has happened. The first time was about 7 days ago. This is dangerous should it happen entering an intersection. I reported the problem to livermore Ford and they said that since it is intermittent without a check engine light on they cannot diagnose it.

  • 250 miles
Took delivery 5/8. called dealer service department 5/17 to see about rough idle and a few minor cosmetic issues. Dropped off 5/25, service advisor called 5/26 to tell me it is blowing oil through the pistons and they are going to have to replace the heads per a tsb. I started research on the internet and found Ford tsb 17-0007. Seems that F-150S made between June and October 2016 might have this problem. The technician plugs the truck into the dagnostics machine and if your vehicle is one of the unfortunate ones, it either gives a code for head replacement or engine replacement. Why are these vehicles waiting to be sold before checking a code? here I have a month old "new" vehicle that has been down longer than driven. I have been communicating with Ford corporate since 5/30 requesting either a new engine or vehicle. Replacing the heads should not be an option when a consumer has 400 miles on an engine. Should be getting an answer from Ford in the next two days, but still, if I am forced to accept new heads, the reduction in value of the vehicle will be tremendous.

Ecoboost engine, auto stop/start option disabled by pushing dash button. Truck shuts off when stopped at stop light like the auto stop function is still enabled but the engine will not restart when you release the brakes. Have to put the transmission in neutral and manually restart the engine using the key. This has happened to me on 3 occasions within the last week.

1. my raptor was made in 1/2017. 2. it took lots of calls and fed ex shipment over night to the dealer and 5 days from Monday to late Friday to get the raptor back. For a couple of days Ford could not say when the part would be available. 3. it does appear the leak is fixed. No leak found after driving lots since late Friday to this am. 4. parts replaced are as follows per work invoice: A. 7652661 oil dye ( used for testing after placement) B. hl3Z*9T516 tube asy C. bl3Z*6L625 oil cooler and filter asy D. *W716088*S900 bolt E. *W715565*S450 bolt Ford raptor 2017 oil leak continuation 1. I apologize as I was too optimistic to think my problem listed above was fixed. 2.I drove the raptor after picking it up late Friday afternoon home and around town and freeways over weekend for about 200 miles total. ( no off road riding, no 4 wheel driving, max speed about 75 mph, no stomping on tubes for extending periods). I checked for oil leak Sunday am, and today- Monday am-no leak. I turned on engine and left for a short errand after checking today-Monday. 3. when I came back I noticed a tire tread imprint and wet areas on driveway. I parked next to the driveway on pavers when I came back. I opened the garage to find a huge puddle of oil. 4. the brand new 2 week old raptor is back at the dealers. I will update as I find out info. I think I have a beautiful red raptor lemon!
