| 2003 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON, INTAKE MNANIFOLD GASKET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON A 2003 V6 4.2L ENGINE IN A FORD F150. *AK |
| 2011 | ENGINE | THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, MY HUSBAND WAS PULLING OUT INTO A CENTER TURN LANE IN ORDER TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND THE MOTOR CUT OUT AND BOGGED DOWN. JUST FOUR DAYS LATER, I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WHERE THE MOTOR COMPLETELY CUT OUT WHILE I WAS GOING THROUGH A YIELD SIGN, SLOWING DOWN, AND THEN GETTING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO INCREASE SPEED. I COUNTED BETWEEN 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRUCK STARTED ACCELERATING AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAD SOMEONE BEEN RIGHT BEHIND ME IT COULD'VE BEEN A BAD WRECK. IT HAPPENED TO ME THIS FIRST TIME RIGHT AFTER I PICKED MY TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THEM TELLING ME MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE TSB WITH REPLACING THE CAC (INTERCOOLER) AND ADDING THE AIR DEFLECTOR PLATE. I HAVE SINCE GONE TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE PERFORMING THE TSB FOR ME AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 5 DAYS NOW, AND BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM EASILY. I HOPE THIS FIXES IT. I'VE ALREADY HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS LEAKS ALL UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY - FRONT MAIN SEAL, TRANSMISSION LEAK, REAR DIFF LEAK, AND EVEN SOME DETERIORATING RUBBER GASKETS IN THE DOORS, AND AM SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING FORD'S QUALITY THESE DAYS. *TR |
