Description of the problem | My truck is rattling bad and its the timing chain ford should have recalled this because it is a known problem. The oil seals on the tensioners start leaking causing them to not keep the chain tight like it should be and also fails to push oil around to the right side cam which causes it to fail. This should be recalled it is dangerous and could cause injuries if the truck stalls out. Also the spark plugs blow out of the heads causing very high repair bills. This also could cause a accident resulting in death. Ford has known about this problem but yet has done nothing to make it right. Ford should stand behind there mistake and make it right fix or replace the engine no matter what the mileage is because they knew about it. My truck repairs will cost over $7000 dollars to fix because ford would fix the problem they knew about. I change my oil every 3000 miles with val oil and lucus oil stabilizer because of this issue it seems to help the rattle alittle but its just going to get worse and i cant afford $7000 to replace an engine. |
