As others have mentioned, they’re not replacing your engine with a 2017 5.2L but the upgraded 2019 5.2L. The 2019 5.2L doesn’t have the oil consumption issues like the earlier iterations.

Exactly, op is the type of dude that would win the lotto and be pissed off because he has to pay taxes on it...End of day I would be thrilled to get a new engine in my 2 year old used car for free. Hell some people with perfectly good engines Im sure would take the new and improved version if it was free. I mean My engines fine but if in two years it is stil running great and ford said hey you want this brand new one that's new and improved for free i would say hell yeah rip the old one out. IM simple lost on someone being upset over getting a new engine. I mean you are getting a zero mile improved engine. Take it and run. sure I mean your upset over the other one being blown and you want your car back I get it. but heck you are getting a new engine I would be more than excited.
Sell your car.... Buy a Corolla... You're not built for this...
You're bitching now with a warranty that you are CHOOSING to not accept... How the hell are u going to handle ownership out of warranty?
Seriously why did you even buy the warranty if you don't want them to honor it...
Bringing up Lemon law... You're truly unbelievable... Wow... Just wow...
The rest of the OH LL is HERE, right from the Ohio State Attorney General’s site:OHIO’S LEMON LAW
You are covered by Ohio’s Lemon Law if the problems with your new motor vehicle occurred in the first 12 months or first 18,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you have problems with your vehicle during this protection period, take the vehicle back to the dealer or the manufacturer and ask them to fix it. The manufacturer must be given a reasonable opportunity to fix the problem.
If the problem is not corrected, you might be eligible for a refund or replacement. You are covered by the Lemon Law even if the problem was discovered late in the protection period, and the repair attempts may extend beyond the protection period (first year or first 18,000 miles, whichever comes first).
How can I protect myself?
If you buy a new vehicle, take the following precautions in case it turns out to be a lemon. It will cost you nothing if you do. It could cost you thousands of dollars if you do not.
If you buy a used car, check the vehicle’s history to see if it has been branded a lemon. Check with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles at www.bmv.ohio.gov and the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System at www.vehiclehistory.gov.
- Keep good records. Your best protection is to maintain a complete, accurate maintenance history.
- Keep all warranty and repair orders. Each order should contain a fully itemized list of repairs, the cost of repairs and the length of time the car was in the shop. Check every work order you receive to make sure it includes all this information, even if the work was done under warranty.
- Write down your vehicle’s problems and defects. Give a copy of the list to the service person at the dealership. Each time you take your car in for a repair, describe any recurring problems the same way.
- Read and understand your owner’s manual. Follow all the maintenance requirements. If the manufacturer can show that you have not maintained your car properly, you might not be eligible for a refund or replacement.
Has the manufacturer had a reasonable opportunity to repair the vehicle?
If you can answer “yes” to any of the following four questions, the manufacturer is presumed to have had a reasonable opportunity to repair your vehicle under Ohio law.
In the first year or first 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first:
If you answered “yes” to at least one of these four questions, you have the legal right to ask the manufacturer to replace the lemon or refund the entire purchase price.
- Have three or more attempts been made to repair one problem and then the problem either continues to exist or occurs again?
- Has the vehicle been in the shop for a cumulative total of 30 days or more during its first year or 18,000 miles, whichever occurs first?
- Have eight or more attempts been made to fix different problems?
- Has one unsuccessful attempt been made to fix a problem that could cause death or serious injury?
Have you ever had to Lemon a car? I don't think so. You sound like you're preaching from the mountain, but you have literally no idea what you are talking about.Exactly, op is the type of dude that would win the lotto and be pissed off because he has to pay taxes on it...
You cant win with some people...
I didnt go thru a buyback, but my 2017's motor also popped with 1850 miles on it. They replaced it with a 2019 motor. Been dailying it for 6 months now and ive had no issues whatsoever. The Ford tech that worked on my car also broke the pressure plate and clutch when he was braking in the new motor because they didnt bleed the hydraulic clutch properly before driving. Also make sure to check out the shift knob for any damage after they replace the motor.Has anyone gone through a buy back process on their GT350?
I honestly believe a great new 2019 or 2020 gt350r engine would make your car WORTH MORE in a few years..not lessYa that is what I am afraid of. I am still going to try. But like you said, I will just end up trying to sell it in the end. The value of the car will dramatically drop. I will refuse to make the same monthly payments on a car that has half the value. I appreciate it though, thanks.
His car isn't a lemon...Have you ever had to Lemon a car? I don't think so. You sound like you're preaching from the mountain, but you have literally no idea what you are talking about.
I just lemoned my 2018 F-150. 8k miles and it was on it's third motor. To anyone saying engine replacements do not hurt vehicle value: you are wrong. It shows on the car's history and absolutely, 100%, no question hurts the vehicles Fair Market Value.
Ford disagreed with me. Basically sounded as immature as the person I quoted here sounded. I requested a buyback 3 times with them. Denied every time. So, hired the attorney, filed the lawsuit, Ford lost, I'm in excellent financial standings due to their ignorance and refusal to admit their vehicle had issues and was devalued due to them.
My first motor went into my truck at less than 4k miles. I began having trouble at 750 miles. If you think I'm paying for a $50k truck with issues out the gate just because I like Ford, think again. Sorry if I knocked your fanboy glasses off, but if you have an issue Ford is the absolute worst at customer care. And, this being my 63rd Mustang, you can shove that "Go buy a Corolla" crap. Try to at least pretend you can have an adult conversation and provide some useful information other than name calling and insults.
