The oil drain plug was leaking about a quart a day. Luckily I noticed it. Oil was changed a month before. They recommended changing the drain plug. I said ok. Then I kept loosing oil. They replaced it again with one from another manufacturer. Still leaked. I went to ford and bought the factory plug. And changed the oil myself. No more leak. Recommend only Ford drain plug. They are plastic with an o-ring.

1700 mi Engine does not idle smoothly, even misses during idle. No check engine light (not enough misses) so dealer said there is nothing wrong and maybe I am too sensitive to it. If engine was doing this in a car instead of a truck, it would be unlivable. I put my own scanner on it and it indicated the manifold pressure continuously varies about 2 psi. On line forums for 3.5 non-turbo engine indicates either vacuum leak or mis-gapped sparked plugs can cause this. Disappointed in dealer. Will ask them to check again at first oil change at 5000 miles.

Intake Manifold stuck open. Intake manifold needed replaced with under 50K miles. 90 days out of powertrain warranty but well under the mileage and Ford offered ZERO financial assistance. Common issue with Ford 5.0L V8 vehicles it is well documented and Ford will not acknowledge. Horrible experience with their customer service and was not even provided a reason why they offered no financial assistance to help with this $1200 repair. Told it was proprietary information that they are not entitled to disclose. Disappointed and moving family and friends out of Ford family.

20259 mi At oil change performed by dealer, noticed oil minor oil seepage from rear of oil pan. Was advised by service advisor repair would be under warranty and was covered by TSB issued by Ford Motor Company. Part(s) ordered and vehicle taken to dealership for repairs three weeks later. The oil pan was replaced with 'different' design pan, oil changed and florescent dye installed to detect future leaks. 
25000 mi January 2017 informed TSB needed to be performed to repair oil seepage from oil pan. TSB performed in January by this dealer. When returned for re-occuring CEL and to repair TSB, was informed the 'old style' oil pan had been installed instead of replacement. I requested my oil be installed at time of service and provided oil and filter to dealer. Two day shop stay to obtain sensor and when service advisor called, he said Ford oil had been installed. and mine would be returned. Following day when I got to dealer, was advised they had gone ahead and drained oil, replaced filter and presented me with $70 bill for oil change, since service lane had not performed 'oil change', got the shop rate. Still wondering why a dealer would charge for their error. Just glad I didn't have to pay for another oil pan as that was their error also. CEL illuminated. Stopped @ first dealer, diagnosed Pssgr bank 1 O2 sensor defect. Reset CEL, told me if re-occured, parts should be available in DFW metrop[lex. Also informed oil pan seeping from rear main saddle (previously repaired), and record showed 'fix', but wasn't. CEL Illuminated enroute, stopped at first dealer, diagnosed only. CEL reset, proceeded and re-illuminaated 146 miles later.

37000 mi Fourth oil pan replacement for oil seepage. 
40124 mi One more time, oil leak at oil pan. Fifth oil pan replacement for oil seepage. Why did they have to replace the oil pan so many times? Ford wanted me to leave the truck at the dealership that last worked on it without providing a loaner. Dealer wanted Ford to furnish and I live 60 miles from them. First dealer that changed the pan only had it 7 hours.. procedure to change oil pan on 2.7eb engine calls for TWO 24 hour wait periods between teardown/assembly.

Recurring fuel pump issue. After 3 years and 3 different repair shops including a dealer that said no problem found. I figured it myself with the help of youtube. Google the symptom and dozens of answers returns. There is even a TSB. Replace the pump works fine for a few years, replace again thinking it's a Chinese made problem and then a third time. When it started intermittently failing again I googled symptons, found the fuse issue and mine matched the pictures. Need to complete the TSB but did put a a good fuse in there and works fine. The TSB is the gas pump fuse is underrated for the fuse terminals and the fuse melts breaking connection. Can go on for a few weeks of a crank no start condition before the condition reverses and the truck starts. Finally once did it didn’t start and had to fix it. The TSB reroutes power to another terminal in the fuse box with an adapter. There is a Ford part number for this.
