Ford F-150

"It is a large oil leak from around the oil pan at about one quart/5000 miles."

"Faulty gaskets on engine pan."

"Replace oil pan gasket"

""Not sure what exactly is leaking, but oil saturates the "splash" guard that is installed under the engine and when I park on a sloped driveway, the oil falls on the ground and leaves a stain. I suspect it is the plastic oil pan that leaks when the crankcase pressure increases under heavy acceleration""

"At about 90,000 miles (in 2024), the plastic oil pan warped and began to leak. Then the oil plug was stripped during an oil change. Both had to be replaced. We used an independent mechanic, not the dealer because it was half the price."

""Oil supply line to turbo failed, replaced. Oil pan leak, required new oil pan. Took 2 attempts to properly seat the new oil pan.""

"Known by Ford to have constant oil leak from plastic oil pan. Replaced this twice now"

"Oil pan gasget leak"

""Leaks oil constantly, but not so serious that oil level is a constant problem. - soils driveway. Mechanic says all of these eco boost engines have or will have this problem. Unfortunately it is a $1000 repair to re-seal the cam covers.""

"Oil pan leaks"

"Plastic oil pan is mated to an aluminum top. Problem with oil seepage leaks at joint."

"I already wrote it down on another page of this survey."

"the oil leak is around the oil pan. it does not leak on the driveway. Ford dealer says oil pan/seal needs to be replaced for $1500. I have not fix it at this time."

"2.7 liter Ecoboost engine from the 2017 year has had oil pan leakage from the start of first service. Despite multiple attempts to fix the problem throughout the warranty period, including new seals/gaskets and procedures, the problem persists now when past the warranty period."

"In the last year the oil pan was replaced due to oil leaks discovered on my garage floor."

"when starting in the morning there is excess exhaust smoke"

"September 2024 started when Message Center would read "No oil pressure" and oil pressure gauge would read "0" when driving. It was resolved soon after with new oil pressure sensor replacement by local Ford dealer. This replacement sensor charge was $550. Six months later, the truck was experiencing the same issue. I returned to the same dealer and the issue was resolved, but it took 8 days to repair. They gave me a loaner and did not charge me to fix the issue, which I was quite happy about. So far the issue seems to be resolved."

"Cam Phasers were replaced and was quite costly. Around $1500"

"factory defective cam phasers need replacement, problem existed when purchased used"

"Replaced cam shaft phasers due to major rattle upon start. Ford shop said no damage would ensu if not changed and theses engines are known to make this noise at start due to no oil in the phasers."

"cam phasers had to be replaced. they could clatter on startup like low oil issue. had to have them replaced and cost was $5k at the dealer."

""The engine made a ticking noise when starting. replaced the variable valve timing in the engine to fix. 4,000 repair not covered under warrenty""

"Had to replace the VCTs"

"CVT system or "cam phasers" failing at 128000 km (79,500 miles), quoted at $6,300 CAD for repair. Warranty had just aged out."

"we are told the horrible noise is from a timing belt or chain, Ford was to have fixed it about 2000 miles ago, it's back now and worse than ever"

"Cam phasers and timing chains were replaced in the last year based on noise and recommendation by dealer."

""This is a problem specific to the 3.5L Ecoboost Ford engine. Ford is aware of the problem with the variable valve timing, but isn't providing any warranty over 100K miles. This is a manufacturer failure and was corrected in later versions of the engine. Unfortunately, 2017 Ford owners have to endure the repair costs to keep their trucks on the road.""

""Replaced at 80,000""

""The turbo cooling system was starting to fail, so it was replaced for both turbochargers.""

"the blow off valve failed"

"Started with grinding when gears shifted but would go away when the transmission warmed up. Then developed problem when shifting like it didn't quite know which gear it should be in."

"Rough intermittent shifting from 3 to 2 and 2 to 3"

"Around third gear there was a hard shift"

"Jerky motion when in reverse when first started. Some roughness in forward motion"

"transmission caused vibrations between 45 and 60 mph. fluid replaced and additive added helped reduce vibrations"

"The problem is with it not going in to a higher gear. Ford knows about the problem because they have a set price to have it fixed."

"Took vehicle to Ford Dealer for oil change/tire rotation. Tech noticed the rear seal of the transmission was leaking (small). I made arrangements for dealer to repair the leak. Repair was totally covered by my extended warranty with Route 66."

"Oil from transmission landed in exhaust pipe when drink at freeway speed and caused large white smoke and oil all over the undercarriage."

""When the transmission began performing poorly, I checked the fluid level and observed that it had lost a significant amount of fluid.""

"The transmission started intermitant vibrating and losing fluid."
