Well, this is fun. I sort of expected some gremlins for having one of the early production cars, but wasn't expecting to have the engine opened up, not sure how I feel about that.
I've had the car for a few months and around 2000ish miles now. On Monday afternoon, I had the car idling and parked during a lunch break, I went outside to snap some photos, and the car very abruptly shut off. It would not fire back up, wouldn't even try to crank or anything. I tried various basic troubleshooting but ultimately had to have it towed to the dealership.
I was expecting this to be something simple - faulty battery or alternator or a wiring short. I haven't received more detail yet, but they did mention that they called Ford for backup/information, and they're going to have to open up the engine to further diagnose.
Been down a week and we still don't have a root cause yet. Not very happy. Would rather have a factory sealed engine that wasn't opened up :(. couple of photos before the thing terminated itself -
