Especially when it was warm outside. This engine will self destruct in short time. It cost me a few grand and much shopping, but I'm happy I did it. I feel bad for all that have this issue. It seems worse in the Mustang community. I will never buy a Ford again.

Sounds like you need to sell your truck and mustang and go buy you an OBAMA MOTORS TRUCK...................SEE YA.....Get out of town

grow up....and yes, the "Obama Truck" is wisper quiet. No knocking. Thanks for the bail out that your tax dollars went to. I appreciate it. Maybe I can drive you home from the dealership while they try and fix your knocking POS

You need to get out more if you think this is a Ford only thing. Enjoy your ride (really).

its a shame they took your tax dollars. You may need the cash to put oil in that POS ford. I see its consuming a good amount. Also, hows that shudder problem? Keep sticking up for a car company that puts **** out there.

I never said what ride I bought. I am aware of piston slap on GM engines. Not a big deal. On some models it happens on start up. Again, Not a big deal. Plus they back it up with a bigger warranty than Ford anyhow. My 2011 F150 knocked while the engine was running...THAT is a BIG DEAL. It really surprises me how many of you will bash other car makes when the one you buy is ridden with major issues.

Its POS chevys i owned in the past that made me buy a Ford......until i bought a Ford I thought it was normal to carry a quart of oil around with me everywhere i went and it was just the normal thing to do to take it to shop every month to fix something...........So thanks Chevy for making a great POS....
