I hope the dealer is "on Target" with the fix

No answer this cannot be good. Maybe trying to get something major done/fixed and can’t talk about it.

I hope it all turns out positive in the long run.

Ok, IM hoping this doesn’t get into a 350 oil consumption post. The car lost/broke a valve. A new engine is going in this week. Ford has bent over backwards trying to put me on the road again. Thank you Ford! I’m just guessing by the cars out there this was an isolated incident. I don’t have much info as to why it just broke? Again Ford in this stupid virus world we live in managed to get an engine and other needed parts out to get me back on the road! Thank You Ford!

Although it was bad news, I am very happy to hear that you have been taken care of. These things happen, its how it gets handled once they do, that make the difference!

Sorry to hear that but great news Ford is doing their part to make things right, i.e. no hassle!

 

[OH3Cobra]

Glad to hear resolution is near. Sorry for the inconvenience, bully for Ford and the Dealer for eschewing red tape and the current environment to get you back up and running. One valve failure doesn't make a trend. I'm sure Ford will review the facts and adapt.

Sorry to hear, sounds like the same failures that a few 2020 350s have had. Sounds like a supplier issue.

Whatever the reason, James, I'm glad to see you back and even happier that Ford is doing you a solid. THAT's the Ford I remember.

Ouch that’s not cool, glad Ford is doing their best to fix it.

From your first post it sounds like you were just driving in a normal manner, so I would guess there must have been some defect in the engine to cause that, that or maybe not put together quite right. Sounds like the engine was treated quite well by you. Put it down to bad luck.
