Description of the problem	I am now a victim of the 2004-2008 5. 4l cam phaser problem. It started out when i came to a stop light and the truck started shacking really bad and making a loud knocking sound. As soon as i accelerated it went away so i thought it was a fluke. Nope!! It stated doing it more and more but i was not getting a check engine light. Finally the light came on and gave me the code p0012-intake camshaft position timing over retarded on bank 1. The only place to take it was ford because they have the most up to date and complete diagnostics tool. It is still in the shop right now but to look at the phasers to see if i need both it is running me $600 just for them to remove the valve covers to look. He said it was going to cost me close to $1500 just to fix the issue! I have read all over the internet about this issue and it seems like ford know about this issue because in 2013 they got sued because of this same problem! If you look 2004 has the most complaints of every year by far! Please stay away from the 5. 4l engine or ford in general. I don't even want to get started with the spark plugs that break in the engine if you don't know what you are doing. That was another $600 bill that ford had to do. The 4wd system as well had many issues with the iwe because its a vacuum system and was brand new in 2004. To many problems with ford!
