Hi everyone,


I'm new to the forum and had a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have a 2011 F150 FX4 with a 5.0 and about 49000 miles. Drove from upstate NY to Maryland last weekend and on my way home my check engine light came on and I noticed I had a slight loss of power and when I tried to give it some more throttle I was getting a vibration that seemed to come from my Transmission, especially in 5th and 6th gear.


Next day I checked the code and it read P0012, Cam shaft timing over retarded Bank 1.


First thing that came to mind was the 5.4L problems that seemed to happen to everyone. I'm lucky enough that I have a certified Pre-owned warranty and it's covered regardless.


I'm just trying to figure out if this is a common issue as it was with the 5.4, and has anyone else experienced this? I'm just trying to satisfy my own curiosity.


Thank a lot.

 

Welcome to the forum, CrashMan82! Is your truck at the dealership now? I know they'd be happy to get that code resolved for you. Let me know when this is in their hands; I'd like to see what I can do to assist as well.

Yes, its scheduled for service tomorrow morning. I'm just curious if this is a frequent problem like it was with the 5.4L Triton. I didn't really find anything with other people experiencing this similar issue, so I hope it's a fluke.

 

I'm glad this will be in your dealer's hands soon, CrashMan82. If you would like me to loop in your regional customer service manager after you receive a diagnosis, just send me a PM with your details. I'll need your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, current mileage, and servicing dealership.
