    My vehicle cam phasers went bad. Cost to repair is in the upwards of $5000. Called Ford was unwilling to help pay for repairs. There was a TSB put out a year or so ago that stated that FORD knows about the cam phaser issue and would help pay for repairs. My cam phasers went bad this week and if not fixed can cause complete engine failure. They have apparently redesigned them a couple of times. I just don't get it, if it's a known defect in the 3.5 EcoBoost engine s how come there is no recall on them. I'm not the only one complaining check the ford forums online. I have to get it repaired or pay for a whole new engine. Plus I have an active recall on my braking system for about9 months know.

    First experienced slight steering weaving for a week. Then electric power steering assist completely went out. $2,450 bill to replace. This issue has been to common with F150's and should be a recall fix for free issue. Requesting assistance

    Since purchasing this vehicle from a dealership, I have had repeated problems with getting a blue screen on the rearview camera when truck is in reverse. This results in no visibility for backing up other than mirrors. A soft reset would often resolve the issue. However, now it is nothing but a blue screen. Why is the recent recall not including the F150 trucks?

    - Cam Phasers failed. Ford installed faulty Cam Phasers in their 2017-2020 Ford F150 trucks that cost $5,700 to fix. It is a very well known issue. No, you can not inspect the issue due to the fact that you have to take apart the engine to get to them. - When Cam Phasers fully malfunction the engine is blown and will need to replace the engine. - Yes, it was diagnosed by a dealership - No warning lamps. There is a rattling sound when starting the vehicle and after research there is a ton of videos with the exact same thing happening to others.

    Transmission makes a sudden hard down shift..... and it always throwing codes ... well maintained but getting too expensive.... 2017 F150 ecoboost 3.5... jumped into lump mode while between 2 semi trucks and one one my side also.... I held down on the throttle so that it wouldn't stop in between the semis and finally had a chance to pull over.... turn my vehicle off... it drove normal but now have another code... possible misfire.... cylinder 1 and 4.... last month it was cylinder 3... I've talked with Ford on helping with the bill they said they don't do that... but offered me some other things that may be covered undered some other recall.... every other month it's something... ooo yeah, had cam phaser done also.... out of pocket... can't find the cam phaser bill but if you need it I can request a copy from the mechanic shop....
