Ecoboost burning oil. White smoke!!!

[Ecobeast305]

Ok guys so I realized that after driving aggressive/normal and even having the car in idle for a while, white smoke would come from the exhaust. At first it was a little now it's more and more. Ford contacted me and the car is in the dealer getting checked out. I just received a call and they told me it might be something wrong with the turbo or some vacuums because the car is indeed burning a lot of oil. Honestly I'm mad and disappointed. I worked hard to be able to buy this car which is my first new car and so far it's been a headache. I will keep you guys updated on what happens. Hopefully by tomorrow I should have an answer.

P.S Ford please get it right!!!

Can you please let us know what happens? Thanks! Hopefully it's a quick fix.

I will that's why I started this post. As of today they told me that it's not the engine that it might actually be the turbo or some of the vacuums which I don't think its that since boost has not gone down. So tomorrow they will take apart the turbo. However they did tell me that the car is in fact burning oil.

Btw sucks to be without a car specially one that cost me 34K!!!

They don't give u a rental in these kind of situations? I'd hate to have to take my car in because it's my daily driver.

I know how you feel.. I took my car in yesterday because of a check engine light. It sucks not being able to use the car you paid so much money for! If I were you, I would look into buying the extended warranty. That's what I did! I got the extra coverage for a rental too... at least they gave me a loner car.

I never imagined buying a brand new car that it would have problems from the get go!

What the dealer told me is that lease are the only ones that get rentals but since my car has less than 2000 miles they might be able to do something.

My car spits out white smoke upon start-up but it goes away.

 

[Ecobeast305]

Yes bro I was reading some post and saw that you and other owners have been having issues too. Just curious did you file a case with ford? And what did they tell you?

What got me worried now is that this car might not even last 4-5 years. Sad to say but true so far my experience with ford has not been a good one.

If it's only at start up and then it goes away you should be good. But if it gets worse even during normal driving and it starts looking like the picture then be concerned and take it to dealer.

Ok guys so I have news regarding my situation... It seems the turbo is blown!!! Don't ask me how that happen because I have no idea but ford is gonna replace the turbo and manifold. Bad thing is it takes a week to get it done... They are trying to get me a rental. We'll see what happens.

DONT SETTLE FOR A CHEAP RENTAL. Get a Mustang or equivalent!
