Description of the problem	When driving at highway speeds the vehicle feels like the timing is off. Hesitates as you roll at 50 or 60mph. Then when you exit freeway and are stopped at light the idle becomes rough and drops below 500rpm. Several times the engine stopped running while waiting for the light to turn green. The previous owner noticed it as well and she took it to the dealership to get checked. Dealer said there is no check engine light and no error code so can't fix it. I took it to another ford dealer after purchase and they could not duplicate the issue even though i told them what to look for. Ford f150 owners board has list of many people with same issue with the 2014-2016 era trucks. Fixes from their post show replacement of 2 new cam phasers and new vct solenoids repairs the issue. Vct had locked up and allowed the cam to jump by two teeth. So vct failure was causing the timing to be off which is the effect i am experiencing at highway speeds and the stalling upon stopping at off ramp light is because the timing is off. Ford will not repair unless cel is on however. I told service team member my concern about taking a left turn across traffic and having the engine stall mid lane and getting t-boned.
