Consumer Description

VCT SOLENOIDS AND CAM SENSORS ARE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY, ENGINE LAGS AND EXIBITS POOR FUEL MPG. THE PROBLEM OCCURED JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND UPON RESEARCH; I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS ISSUE IS VERY VAST WITH 2009-2011 FORD ESCAPES, MERCURY MARINERS, 2010-2011 FORD FUSION AND MERCURY MILAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.0L ENGINE AND BUILT ON OR BEFORE 3-1-2011. MY 2009 FORD ESCAPE AND MANY OTHERS VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AT NO COST OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
