Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE STORE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I CONNECTED A CODE READER AND PULLED A P0016. CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT CORRELATION SENSOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A MECHANIC TO FIND OUT WHAT CAN CAUSE THIS CODE. AFTER CHECKING OUT THE ENGINE THEY FOUND THAT THE PRIMARY TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED CAUSING THE PLAY IN THE ENGINE. THIS PLAY CAUSES THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT TIMING TO BE OFF ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS ENGINE CODE. THIS TRUCK HAS 55000 MILES ON IT AND IN NO WAY SHOULD BE HAVING TIMING CHAIN ISSUES THIS SOON. CLEARLY FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TIMING CHAIN AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND $3,500.00 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE THESE TRUCKS AND NEEDS TO OFFER A SOLUTION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
