Consumer Description
Ford has issued an extended warranty for an issue that is clearly a manufacturing issue within their 3.5 ecoboost engine, currently their program is for the replacement of the cam phasers, but they only replace them if the vehicle is under 70k miles on it, if it's pass that mileage the cost goes to the customer, which seems unfair practice as ford have stated that there is a fault with their cam phasers in the engine, but don't have to do a full recall because they give an "extended" warranty which if the vehicle is pass a certain mileage and of no fault of the customer they are allowed to pass the fault to the customers for a factory problem. This issue should be of concern as it can cause the vehicle to go off time and the engine to lock up and cause accidents, harm or even death.
