A CAM Phaser in the timing chain area is failing. Apparently the oil is not able to stay on that area and drains out. The symptom is a severe rattle on start up. Since it's part of the power train a failure in this part could result in an engine failure. It is a safety issue if this happens and causes a sudden loss of power at freeway speeds. Ford has repaired many of these as part of some program I do not know its name. However Ford has stopped repairing them.

The 10-speed transmission in my 2018 ford f150 shifts erratically causing a huge safety concern for myself and passengers. Pulling out onto highways and crossing intersections have become increasing dangerous when my truck doesn-??t shift and essentially stalls in the middle of oncoming and crossing traffic. This is a known concern with these transmissions and the service bulletins issued by ford to -??fix-?? these problems have not done so. This truck and its faulty transmission is a danger to my family and others on the roadway and needs to be fixed.
