Cam Phasers are failing and causing engine oil pressure to fail as well as timing to jump. This is a major concern and can cause a serious accident if a engine seizes. Ford did not issue a recall but if you bring it in then they tell you. was never notified of issue and now that i am over 90,000 miles it is no longer warrantied. they do a reprogram but it makes the issue worse.

The Cam Phasers have failed. I have done all the Computer resets, both did not work, the truck is supposed to have them replaced. I have contacted Ford Customer service to no avail. The simply do not return my calls. I have left numerous messages regarding the delivery date for the parts necessary to replace my Cam Phasers. The vehicle has not caused a safety issue yet however the problem seems to be getting worse leading me to believe it will become unsafe to drive. Byers Ford Dealership has confirmed the problem however they have no idea when the parts for the cam phasers will be shipped. The Check Engine light came in August or September of 2021. I had this checked by an independent mechanic as well as the Ford Dealership. The problem as I see it is Ford has had a problem with their Cam Phases since 2005 and has done little or nothing to correct the problem. A little research and you can find out the the failure rate for Cam Phasers is around 40%. Seem to me NHTSA should have forced the manufactures to correct this problem a long time ago. It appears you are allowing the manufacturers to sell vehicles that have little value after the cam phasers fail as the replacement is not a permanent fix.

Eastbound I-94 around Burns Harbor, IN. High speed, high density traffic. High temperature warning illuminated on dash while the temperature gauge went to full cold. Within seconds the engine lost power, forcing me to navigate to the shoulder of the highway. I was successful, but the loss of power and the resulting speed differential put myself and other traffic at a significant risk of collision. The vehicle was shut down and checked for any signs of overheating. With no signs of overheating the vehicle was restarted and we continued to our destination. The following day the problem was diagnosed by Castle Ford, Michigan City, Indiana as a faulty cylinder head temperature sensor; there was not a problem with high temperature.

It is known that Ford has a problem with the cam phasers on their 3.5 eco boost engine. Mine went bad and were replaced under warranty in November 2019 and approximately 45,000 miles. Now at 70,000, the cam phasers are needing replaced again. Ford is refusing to cover this expense as my truck is now out of warranty. It is also known their cam phaser fix does not solve the issue, thus the problem is recurring. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and should be covered in full. This is a huge issue effecting the majority of Ford 3.5 eco boost engines. Why will Ford not own up to this manufacturing defect?

3.5L ecoboost engine died while accelerating mildly on a highway at 55 - 60mph. Numerous fault lights came on, including service engine soon, advance trac, and various other. I coasted into a parking lot, placed into park, shut off ignition, and restarted. Engine shuttered violently, so I turned it off and waited 10 mins. Restarted fine. Dealership replaced 'high pressure pump ring gasket due to deformation and suspected vacuum leak'. 2 wks later, was driving 70mph on interstate and engine cut out again. Very dangerous situation with 5 lanes of traffic and merging traffic. I coasted to a stop, turned off ignition, and restarted. Again.. the engine shook violently and as I tried to pull further into median, the brakes could barely stop the truck from moving due to high revving engine. Had to tow to another dealership 3 hours from my house! backlog will take over 1 month to repair!

At cold start, the vehicle makes a very loud rattling noise. Most likely the timing chain and tensioners which Ford is very much aware of on these ecoboost engines.
