Its out of warranty...I would give you very little chance ford will fix this on their dime. Heck, most of the people that are under warranty are having a tough time getting it fixed

I believe the VCT should be covered under emission equipment warranty ? Obviously the rest of the emission stuff cannot work if the VCT isn't. U cannot pass the test if the CEL is lit.

Hey guys- So I dont have the time to read all 600+ posts as I am at work but my '11 ecoboost has 69000 miles on it and the same rattle started roughly 5k miles ago. Of course, it was after my warrenty. Am I screwed? Does anyone have a direction to point me? I also noticed this week that when merging on to an expressway, it downshifts to 3rd gear and hesitates terribly and the only way to remedy is to let off the gas and let the engine and tranny catch up. Do you think Ford will cover any of this or will it be out of pocket? HELP!!!!

Although it could be named something different on that page. The vvt system basically works like an egr. The only crappy part is that it looks like it isn't under the 8yr warranty items.

Just picked my truck up from service. They replaced the timing chain and the tensioner(along with all necessary gaskets etc). First start in the lot, chain rattle… and it idles like a 72 Chevelle with a cam job. Even after warm up, it shakes at idle. It hesitates under throttle as well. Let's just say I'm not too happy.

Tyssa'sRide....keep us posted on what the "real" fix is when you take it back. I am in the same boat, but mine waited about 3k miles to rattle after new chain/tensioners/guides.
