Consumer Description

My vehicle cam phasers went bad. Cost to repair is in the upwards of $5000. Called Ford was unwilling to help pay for repairs. There was a TSB put out a year or so ago that stated that FORD knows about the cam phaser issue and would help pay for repairs. My cam phasers went bad this week and if not fixed can cause complete engine failure. They have apparently redesigned them a couple of times. I just don't get it, if it's a known defect in the 3.5 EcoBoost engine s how come there is no recall on them. I'm not the only one complaining check the ford forums online. I have to get it repaired or pay for a whole new engine. Plus I have an active recall on my braking system for about9 months know.
