2018 F150 sputter

Topic starter

I have a 2018 F150 with just under 30k miles. It has the v6 3.5L twin turbo ecoboost (I know - don’t get this engine). I have a sputtering noise from the engine bay on acceleration/deceleration. I initially brought it in and they replaced the cam phasers - which fixed a startup rattle I didn’t know was an issue but didn’t fix the issue I brought it in for. I brought it back in and they replaced the drivers side turbo, apparently they have a common issue with the waste gate rattling. I got it back and could hear the noise on the drivers side. I told them they replaced the wrong turbo or they are both bad, so they replaced the drivers side after some arguing with them after they told me ford issued a bulletin not to replace the turbo for a rattling waste gate because it’s a normal noise. I got it back thinking I finally wouldn’t have to listen to this noise and it’s still there. It’s a noise that once you hear it you can stop hearing it. I’ll add a link to a youtube video that shows the waste gate rattle, it sounds almost identical but I can visually confirm both turbos are new. Any ideas? Thanks!

sure list of those Scotty and I buy one of those yeah rattling is normal ratling noises and engine is never normal they're just covering their own rear ends for making stupid designs and not building them correctly. What a Ford is going to fix it under warranty just live with it learn your lesson never bye another one
