"i have a 2017 ford f150 xlt four-wheel-drive super crew that the oil pan is now needing to be changed for a third time i first took it for its first oil change in 2018 on may 24, 2018. the oil pan was replaced again i took it for an oil change it was leaking again and was changed on march 17, 2021 now today november 8, 2023 i take it again to be have the oil changed and i find out that it is leaking again. i was informed that the dealership is not responsible to replace it a third time. this is a defective oil pan evidently for this make and model and i don’t feel it’s right that i should have to pay approximately $1200 to have it replaced for a third time, i would like to see or have someone call me to explain to me why i should be paying for something that has already been replaced twice. this is a defect and it should be a recall. the dealership said it’s not the first one that is doing this but so far no one knows who to call at ford corporate in order to find out how to get ford to replace it for free. i have owned nothing but fords in my life i do all my oil changes on a regular basis at the ford dealership. at this rate i will have to change out that plastic oil pan approx every 2.5 years."

"upon startup, the engine produces a loud “rattle” sound. it has consistently gotten worse. my local ford dealer advised this is called a “phaser” for the camshafts and that they have failed. ford has already issued a recall for this problem on trucks like mine, but for unknown reasons, my truck is not included. i have been advised that it is only a matter of time until there is a catastrophic engine failure. it has already been demonstrated that this part is defective, yet ford refuses to address the problem in its entirety. i want ford to honor their commitment and repair all affected trucks with these defective parts."

"i had a complete engine failure in my 2017 ford f-150 2.7-liter v6 turbocharged (twin turbo) truck. the safety of myself and four family members were put at risk when this engine failure occurred, as we were driving at approximately 55 mph. my truck was taken to a ford dealership were they confirmed the engine failure. i am currently awaiting new engine from ford (a remanufactured engine), but they are currently on back order with no estimated time of arrival provided. i will happily make the vehicle available for inspection (via the ford dealership). the vehicle has not been inspected by another party (outside the ford dealership). there were no warning lamps or messages that appeared before the failure. one symptom, a strange "muffler sounding" noise, did start about 5-10 minutes before the failure. this failure seems like it could be related to the national highway traffic safety administration current investigation into this particular motor. see reference here - [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)"
