| Description of the problem | Engine started to idle rough and loose acceleration while driving up hill. Stalled a couple times while stopped and idling. The engine would lag while accelerating from a stop. I took the truck to a local ford dealer and for the first 3 times, they couldn't find a problem. Upon the fourth time at the dealer, they said it was the cam phaser and that the engine needs replaced, at 72,000 miles. When asked about this being ford's problem, they stated that "it hasn't affected 1 million vehicles, so no, not their problem". This was a very critical safety issue, as i would loose accelerating power while driving. |
