| Description of the problem | In all 04-10 f150 trucks with the 5. 4, lack of oil pressure can and will cause cam phaser failure resulting in the motor locking up or even shutting off damaging the timing chain guides and tensioners. This can become extremely dangerous as all 04-10 5. 4 motors experience oil pressure problems to the top end and all exhibit a knocking sound. I'm sure i'm not the first to complain as hundreds of thousands of people have had issues and accidents because of this incident. Please instigate and read the countless articles of these situations. Ford is causing people to pay up to 8 thousand dollars to repair this. It is a rip off scene by ford and something should be done. |
