Consumer Description

In 2021 and 50,000 miles I had a complete engine rebuild done due to failed cam phasers. Now 35,000 miles later, I have to have the same repair done because the campuses have failed again. After searching social media, and recognizing nothing is being done, there are post after post after post after post where vehicles have had the same issue over and over again for the 2018 to 2020 F150 3.5 L eco-boost engine. Ford has absolve themselves of all responsibility. They should definitely be looked into.
