WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING CEASED UPON ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO A MECHANIC WHERE WE LEARNED THAT THE VCT UNIT (EXHAUST SIDE) HAD SEPARATED AND A PIECE OF THE INTERNAL COMPONENT FLEW OUTWARD BORING A HOLE THROUGH THE VALVE COVER. WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE THE PROJECTILE ENDED (HOPEFULLY NOT INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN). IT WAS ALSO FOUND THAT THE OIL WAS SO LOW (FROM THE HOLE IN THE VALVE COVER) THAT IT DID NOT REGISTER ON THE DIP STICK NOR DID THE INDICATION ALERT NOTIFY THE DRIVER IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL KENDALL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR THE RATTLE/MISFIRE ISSUE BEFORE THE VCT RUPTURED AND THEY GAVE THE TRUCK A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF A SPARK PLUG ON CYLINDER #2. THE MISFIRE OCCURRED WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON A LONG HIGHWAY 60MPH AND STARTED TO SHUTTER AND SHAKE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED US TO CRASH (IT ALREADY HAS THE CAC TSB FIX INSTALLED). NHTSA SHOULD RE-OPEN THE INVESTIGATION ON THAT BECAUSE THE FIX DID NOT WORK. IT MAY HAVE IMPROVED IT, BUT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD ON MAY 4TH ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE IS NO RECALLS OR ALERTS CONCERNING OUR VEHICLE AND WE WOULD HAVE TO FIX IT OUT OF POCKET. WE ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO WORK SOMETHING OUT WITH THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE WHEN SEARCHED APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ONE AND DUE TO FAULTY PARTS, FORD SHOULD IN GOOD FAITH OFFER A RECALL BECAUSE FOR THIS FIX, LIKE OURS, IS ABOUT $2000.00 CONSERVATIVELY. OUR VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 121,000 MILES ON IT.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2011","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"F-150","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
