NHTSA Complaint #11615197 — 2019 FORD F-150

Cam phasers in engine have failed for the second time. Potential safety issue is if not repaired, could lead to catastrophic, unexpected engine failure as the cam phaser is part of the engine timing system. Prolonged driving with this issue would inevitably cause major mechanical problems which could possibly lock the engine up while driving. This would obviously be a safety issue while traveling down crowded interstates at posted speeds in any metropolitan area. Vehicle is currently at the dealer again and the problem has been confirmed. Vehicle is out of warranty at this point and the repair is over $4,500. This price will ultimately lead to many people electing to take the chance instead of pay to fix this known issue with this truck. It is a very expensive repair for a vehicle to have twice under 100K miles. There are no warnings or codes associated with this problem. The beginning stages of this problem start with a loud rattle on a cold start. I have not let this issue persist due to safety concerns of my family being in the vehicle with me. I have elected to spend the enormous amount of money to repair this issue again and hopefully when I am able, I will purchase a different vehicle.
