[QUOTE="Riddick, post: 16647538, member: 143188"] My 17 has never left me stranded but its been nothing but a headache so far. The parts they are using these days are cheap and the QC at Ford has gone down hill over the years. Here are a few things I have gone through on my 17: - Numerous recalls, cant count how many times I have had to take it in. Latest one was reprogramming for cam phasers, truck will more than likely need new cam phasers installed. - Door handles froze last winter and my doors would not shut. Took it to dealer and they performed the TSB on one door when I told them all 4 were not closing. I realize this is a dealer issue but the fact we have this issue in the first place is not impressive. More than likely my truck will be back at the dealer this winter to fix the other doors. - Dash is warped from heat under windshield, does not bother me as I dont notice but the fact Ford knows about this and has done nothing is concerning. - APIM replaced under warranty, 10 months later the new APIM craps out....... now out of warranty. I am not able to use GPS or bluetooth since the system is so laggy and it freezes constantly. I'm not about to dish out money on a product that's more than likely going to fail several months later. - Truck was overheating on long drives, coolant temps would get in the low 240s and the fans were always on high. Ford said this is normal and blamed me for swapping in a new lower grill stating I changed the air flow, complete BS. I changed out the thermostat myself and problem fixed. The max coolant temp I see when towing is 210 now...... yeah Ford it was my lower grill. - Truck has always had a shutter at 1200 RPMS when under load. Again Ford says this is normal and they see nothing wrong with it. I love cruising through my neighborhood feeling a slight vibration throughout the truck...... - Oil plan has started to leak where it seals to block. I guess this is common with the composite oil pans but looks like ill be back at the dealer again to have it resealed on my next oil change. All this over 41k miles. The truck drives smooth and I like it but once my 60K mile powertrain warranty is up this thing will more than likely be sold. I will catch crap for this but im highly considering jumping ship over to the new Tundra. I had an 07 years back and while it guzzled gas it was damn reliable and no issues. Hopefully my truck is one of the few but as I searched forums all of the above problems seem to be common. OP I hope the dealer takes care of your issues and you get to enjoy your truck. [/QUOTE]
