Consumer Description
TSB 14-0196, TSB 15-0131, TSB 16-0027 - ALL EXPLAIN THE ISSUE, SO YES FORD KNOWS IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE. ITS BASICALLY THE ENGINE RATTLING FOR 2-5 SECONDS WHEN YOU STARTING THE VEHICLE FROM A COLD START. IN MECHANICS TERMS THE PRIMARY TIMING BELT HAS STRETCHED AND TAKES THAT 2-5 SECONDS TO PICK UP THE SLACK.THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS IT VERY WELL. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=WT3AC_H8WL0 FORD ONLY COVERS THIS ISSUE FOR 5YR/60K MILES WHICH IS TERRIBLE. TONS OF DIFFERENT MODELS OF FORDS HAVE THIS ISSUE OVER A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT YEARS. THIS SHOULD EASILY BE A RECALL ON FORDS OR ATLEAST AN EXTENSION IN WARRANTY. THIS REPAIR WILL COST AROUND $2000 TO HAVE A FORD DEALER FIX IT FOR YOU. I CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE 62K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND FORD STILL WON'T EVEN GIVE ME A DISCOUNT FOR THE REPAIRS. IM ONLY 2K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY MARK AND STILL GET NOTHING? I'VE LOVED FORD TRUCKS FOR YEARS BUT AFTER ALL THIS, ITS EASILY DRIVING ME AWAY FROM WANTING ANOTHER FORD. *TR
