Common Ford Problems
EcoBoost cam phasers and timing a rattle on cold start on some 3.5 L EcoBoost V6 engines in the F-150 and Expedition points to cam phasers or timing chain wear.
Coolant loss on some EcoBoost engines certain 1.5 L, 1.6 L and 2.0 L engines are prone to internal coolant leaks; low coolant warnings need prompt attention.
PowerShift transmission some 2012–2016 Focus and Fiesta dual-clutch transmissions shudder and slip.
Brake and fuel line rust trucks and SUVs in Ontario salt develop rusted brake lines. See rust damage.
EGR and DPFE P0401 on older Fords is often the DPFE sensor or its hoses. See P0401.

Ford Maintenance Notes
- Use Motorcraft-spec oil and coolant; EcoBoost engines are sensitive to oil changes on time.
- Service the 10-speed automatic and transfer case on high-kilometre or towing trucks.
- Inspect brake and fuel lines every year on vehicles driven through salted winters.
- Work trucks qualify for the severe-service schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service Ford work trucks and fleets?
Yes. We service F-150s, Transits and other work vehicles, with the severe-service schedule that heavy use calls for.
What is the rattle on my F-150 at start-up?
On some 3.5 L EcoBoost engines, a brief rattle at cold start points to cam phasers or timing chain wear. Have it diagnosed before it gets louder.
Why is my Ford losing coolant with no leak?
Some EcoBoost engines can leak coolant internally. A pressure and combustion gas test confirms it.
Can you fix rusted brake lines?
Yes. We replace rusted brake lines with new lines and fittings and bleed the system.
Will having the work done at an independent shop affect my warranty?
No. Using an independent shop for maintenance and repairs does not void your new-vehicle warranty. Keep your invoices; we document the parts and work on every job.
