Consumer Description

THE TRUCK IS MAKING A SEVERE RATTLING NOISE UPON START UP, WHICH CAUSED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ONE. CODES ARE SAYING ITS TIMING CHAIN RELATED. TRUCK WILL LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING, YOU CAN'T PUSH ACCELERATOR DOWN WITHOUT IT STALLING OUT OR WITHOUT IT MISSING REAL BAD AND JERKING. HAD TRUCK WORKED ON PREVIOUSLY BY FORD DEALER FOR THE MISSING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. DEALER SAID IT WAS A COIL PACK AND CHANGED IT OUT AND PLUGS AND WIRES. HERE I AM WITHIN 10,000 MILES LATER AND ITS WORST THAN EVER. THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THESE ECOBOOST ENGINES AND TIMING CHAIN ISSUES. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON THAT A $40,000+ VEHICLE CAN'T MAKE IT PAST 70,000 MILES WITHOUT HAVING TIMING CHAIN ISSUES! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD AND THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THIS ISSUE. ZERO ASSISTANCE OR HELP. NEXT STEP AFTER THIS OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WILL BE A LAW SUIT.
