Out of warranty, timing chain problems, phasers not operating correctly, Ford issued TSB: some 2011-2014 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 3. 5l gasoline turbocharged direct injection (gtdi) engine and built on or before 10/10/2014 may exhibit a malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illuminated with diagnostic trouble code (dtc) p0016. Other dtcs and driveability concerns may also be present. This concern may be due to a worn primary timing chain. Loss of power, exhaust smoking, loud rattle in engine during cold starts.
Truck has 46665 miles. When driving first 10 minutes (city driving) vehicle shudders, shows wrench indicator and goes into limp home mode (no accelerator). Have to pull over, turn off ignition and restart engine. Problem code shows p2112 (throttle actuator control system. . . Stuck closed). This may happen 3 times in first 15 minutes of driving, but then goes away when car warms up. I have also noticed abnormal exhaust smoke and bad gas mileage. Having truck go into limp home mode in middle of traffic is very dangerous.
