Description of the problem	My truck is a 2005 ford f-150 with 45,000 miles no prior problems serviced as per the ford recommendations as well as regular oil changes. While on vacation getting off the freeway off ramp in reno nevada and coming to a stop at a red light my car started to shake and sputter as if it was going to turn off and the check engine light was on. After the light turned green i proceeded through the green light and parked the truck in a safe spot off the street. I turned off the engine and lifted the hood and there was a small odder of gas fumes. Seeing that i needed to get to a safe area i slowly drove the truck to a hotel. The next day on monday at a slow speed no more than 25 miles per hr. I drove the truck to the ford dealership where i spoke with a ford service advisor. The ford service advisor told me that there was a (fuel injector notice) for this year make and model ford truck. He also said that there could be a possibility that other engine problems could incur as a result of the bad fuel injector. He said that there could be a possibility that my motor could (hydrolock) and cause other problems in the engine and that there was also a possibility that my catalytic converter could be damaged. After receiving this info i left the dealership they shuttled me back to my hotel. Later that day they diagnosed the problem. This is the explanation of what the dealership said was wrong with my truck: (1)bad fuel injector. (2)bent rod. (3)bent valve spring (4)scored valve head (5)possible bad catalytic converter estimated damage $4,300 and if catalytic converter was damaged $5,100.
