EVERY VEHICLE THAT FORD PUT OUT WITH A CAM PHASER IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE CAN PHASER. ANY SAE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WILL VERIFY THIS. THIS IS A HORRIBLE DESIGN. WHY HASN'T FORD STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND FIXED THIS ISSUE? I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO BURY IT SO THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO INCUR THE COST OF FIXING THEIR MISTAKE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE I'VE BEEN STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER, WON'T GO INTO GEAR....ETC....THIS HAPPENS AFTER THE CAN PHASER HAS ACTIVATED AND THEN I COME TO A STOP. THEN IT'S MISFIRING STALLING NOT GOING INTO GEAR...YOU NAME IT IT'S AN ISSUE. A COMPUTE READ ON THE OBD2 STAYED THAT I HAD MISSES IN IGNITION COILS 1,3 AND 7 REPLACED THEM THEN THE TEACHING STAYED MISFIRED IS 2,4 AND 5 REPLACED THEM AND ALL THE SAME ISSUES... EVERY MECHANIC I'VE SPOKEN TO SAYS ABSOLUTEY THE PHASES AND THAT THEY HAVE TO PUT A CAM PHASER DELETE KIT IN THESE VEHICLES DO GET RID OF THESE PROBLEMS. WHY HASN'T FORD BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH A TERRIBLE DESIGN?

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO MY POST OF 8/14/19, CONCERNING FRAME RUST ON MY 2007 F150. THE TRUCK HAS NOW BEEN INSPECTED BY A COMPETENT BODY SHOP WITH THE BOX TAKEN OFF. THERE IS MORE RUST ON THE FRAME THAN ON THE TITANIC, NO HOPE OF FIXING IT. SO FAR FORD DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ANYTHING. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED IF THIS ISN'T ADDRESSED. THERE ARE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH A SERIOUSLY UNEXPECTED LEVEL OF RUST. LOOKING FOR OPTIONS!!
