Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation

P0019, P0018 STABILITY TRACK ISSUES AND REDUCE ENGIN POWER AND I WAS DRIVING WHEN HAPPEN AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT WON'T GO OFF

HAD TO BUY A NEW ENGINE! THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK ON FRIDAY, APRIL 6. ON SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 7, I TOOK IT TO GET GAS. AFTER FILLING MY TANK, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START BACK UP. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED FROM THE GAS STATION. TOWED IT TO KELLER FORD, GRAND RAPIDS, MI. CODES P0011, P0016, P0017, P0019, P0021, P0172, P0175, P0299, P0313, P0365, P0369, P0390, P0394, P0430 AND P052C. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO PERFORMED A POWER BALANCE TEST AND A COMPRESSION TEST, IT WAS DETERMINED HALF THE ENGINE HAD ZERO COMPRESSION AND THE OTHER HALF HAD LOWERED COMPRESSION. ALL OF THESE RESULTS INDICATED THE TRUCK NEEDED A FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. $7,650 FOR THE NEW ENGINE. A…

…At the scene, an OBD-II diagnostic scan pulled DTC P0019-00 (Crankshaft Position - Exhaust Camshaft Position Not Plausible Bank 2). An independent service center subsequently confirmed adequate, safe oil levels (ruling out oil starvation), and independent technicians confirmed catastrophic internal engine failure. The truck is currently at an authorized Chevrolet dealership undergoing formal diagnostics to determine the exact internal failure mechanism (including potential correlation to known bearing/valvetrain defect patterns under GM Bulletin 19-NA-256). The vehicle and components are available for inspection upon request. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT…

…(random/multiple cylinder misfires), P0017 and P0019 (camshaft/crankshaft timing correlation errors). Upon removal of the oil filter, metal debris was found in the oil filter cartridge, indicating possible internal engine damage. Based on these findings, the repair facility recommended engine replacement or major engine repair.

…Prior to the failure, we noticed several warning signs, including an illuminated check engine light, rough idling, and multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), such as P0018, P0019, P0300, P0304, P0305, and P0306. These symptoms began appearing a few weeks before the engine failed completely, but escalated quickly. To our knowledge, there is no recall or technical service bulletin (TSB) addressing this known issue on this model and engine configuration. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Land Rover, the police, or any insurance agency, but the independent mechanic confirmed that the failure was internal and directly related to the timing chain system. We are submitting this report in…

…ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WE STARTED HAVING P0017, P0018, P0019 TROUBLE CODES POP UP. WE TRIED TO REPLACE THE SENSORS AND THEY WERE STILL POPPING UP. WE CLEARED THEM, ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES LATER THEY WOULD POP BACK UP AGAIN. THURSDAY THE CAR WAS WORKING FINE. IT WAS RUNNING GREAT, NO SHAKING, WASN'T ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON BUT WE ARE NOW TO THE POINT THAT THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE GOING ON. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND WE HAVE TWO KIDS AND JOBS TO GET TO. WE ARE TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THIS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. MY PARENTS OWNED THIS CAR BEFORE WE DID. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS. I FIND IT PRETTY CONVENIENT THAT…

FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE GOTTEN A SERVICE CODE OF P0019, AND DURING THE TIME OF THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, WE EXPERIENCED SEVERE LOSS OF POWER, TO THE POINT HAD TO PULL OFF OF THE SIDE ROAD, AFTER A FEW MINUTES, RESTARTED VEHICLE, IT WAS ABLE TO RESUME. TOOK TO DEALER, THEY SAID NO PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, FAST FORWARD ANOTHER TWO YEARS, AND 80,000 MILES, WITH NO MORE WARRANTY, SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED, MAJOR LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING AND CAUSING THE ENTIRE TRUCK TO VIBRATE, THIS TIME, ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND CODE P0018 AND P0019, BACK TO THE FORD DEALER, THEY MADE ME CHANGE THE TURBO SENSORS, CHARGED ME $900 AND STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS…

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHOWING CODES P0018 AND P0019, THE VEHICLE WILL START TO IDLE AND THE TRACTION CONTROLS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE GOES INTO SAFETY MODE NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 30 MILES/HOUR. MECHANIC STATED THAT IT WAS INDICATING ISSUES WITH TIMING BELT, BUT THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH TIMING BELT TENSIONERS GOING BAD.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford F-150. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the vehicle for four minutes. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. While driving approximately 35-40 MPH, the transmission was shifting hard. The RPM was fluctuating. While parking or driving, the vehicle thrusted forward and backward. The failure persisted over time. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who retrieved DTC: P0019, indicating a camshaft position correlation Bank 2 Sensor B; and DTC: P0025…

P0017, P0018, P0019, P0068, P0089, P0106, P228C 2012 TRAVERSE ALL OF THESE CODE ARE ON THE SCANNER. THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW TO JUST ABOUT A STOP GOING DOWN THE ROAD. LOTS OF LIGHTS COME UP ON THE DASH, TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAC, THE CAR IS IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT TURN OVER. GM IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I HAVE CALLED, CONSIDERING THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE ENGINES IN THE TRAVERSE MODELS. CAR ONLY HAS 83K MILES ON IT AND GETS OIL CHANGES JUST ABOUT EVERY 3000 MILES. FROM MICHIGAN
