Hey everyone,
We purchased a 2012 Ford F150 Ecoboost about 16 months ago. We bought it used and thankfully bought the extended warranty. In June while we were driving down the highway pulling our trailer the truck began to misfire. We took it into the dealership and they were able to feel the misfires. They replaced the spark plugs and coil boots (at our cost because extended warranty doesn't cover that) and they gave us back the truck. It continued to misfire and run rough. We took the truck back into the dealership on another 5 occasions. They replaced the coils, camshaft sprocket and VCT phaser, hoses, timing belt/chains, gaskets, bolts, sensor and wire ASY, TBCM sensor and pig tail. Each time they gave it back to us it continued to misfire and run rough. After the 5th visit, they gave us back our truck and assured us it was fixed. Then half way to our family holiday destination the engine seized. This was the 6th time in and the truck required a full engine replacement. We got the truck back and hoped it was fixed. However, the truck again began to misfire about a month later. We took it in for the 8th time and they reset something based on a technical service bulletin because they aren't sure what else to do. The frustrating part is the misfires seem to happen very inconsistently and at times the dealerships aren't able to reproduce our concern. We just got it back and sure enough, it's still misfiring and running rough on occasion. We contacted Ford Canada as 9 visits with the problem persisting seems ridiculous. They said they only want to work with us if they can 'confirm' the problem and said they only stand behind their products on "New Vehicle Limited Warranties", but at what point do we just have a lemon for a truck?? We are planning to file a civil suit. Has anybody else every experienced anything else like this??
