| Description of the problem | I have a 2013 f150 and have a loud noise coming from the engine. After my mechanic looked into it he said it is the timing chain rattling at start up. The truck has only 52000 miles on it. Barely broke in and now has a rough idle and loss of power when driving. My mechanic came up with 4 different codes showing camshaft and crankshaft position correlations. Turbo charger under rest. System to rich bank 1 & 2 and misfire detected at start up. This is a 2013 truck with 52000 miles and ford is telling me it probably isn't under warranty and could cost around $3500 or more to fix. I see they have had problems with this same issue with the 2011 & 2012 f150s. Internet is full of this same issue. How can they get away with it for 3 years and no recall? |
