I Did the full system flush and the cam phaser service and then the issue started happening. It could have caused the issue? no clue.

Ya I hear you! I'm also over being told my truck doesn't have an issue when it clearly does. I put it in craigslist last night, hopefully I can sell this nightmare, this has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Definately never buying a ford EVER again.their repairs and customer service alone is enough to end my relationship with their brand.

Same here!! I love the look and the ride of the truck but I would rather deal with dodges suspension issues or toyotas over priced gas pig!!!

I dropped my truck off at a friend of mine that runs a transmission shop. Told him I didn't want it back until he could tell me what's wrong. I'm dealing with the same issues as all of you. I've had new plugs and coils, new cam phasers, new fuel filter, new maf sensor, new throttle body and new rack n pinion. All done since Sept 2010, so I feel your pain. My guy says it's definetly not transmission. He said he pushed it hard on the highway and got it to store a code showing misfire in 5 and 6, but thinks it something else causing the computer to think it's a misfire. He's taking it to someone that specializes in mysteryies of the unknown. He hopes to know something by tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Functions properly. Nothing out of the norm.
