Early Ecoboost Failures

What I'm referring to is his reaction to whatever is happening to his car. With all the other ambient noise in the video would be very difficult to discern what was going on.

I was trying to figure out by the gauge and the noise but I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. If he was working with a tuner a data log would tell us more.

Yeah his gauges didn't show anything out of the ordinary, must have been a sound that didn't get picked up due to the location of the mic. Could have been pinging,

Little update on my ordeal... they had the car all day yesterday and as of today according to the dealer are still doing the tear down of my engine. No word yet on whether it's being covered etc....

I was able to twist their arm and get them to put me in a rental for atleast 3 days after calling and making my case to ford CS.


And as far as my video went, as stated before it was more sound and just the feel of the car that got my attention. It was taken to one dealer and they found nothing. It was due to go to my home dealer it was bought from but due to work I was unable to make the appointment. Before blowing up, it was actually driving a lot better which when I cancelled the appointment I relayed to him. So on my way home literally right in between being home and where I live for work right now she crapped out...

How did you go about getting your engine torn down? Did the dealership offer it? Ford require it or what?

Not a clue.

My assumption is ford has required it. The dealership that it is at has been no help. It's not the dealership I bought it from because I was too far away to have it towed there with our warranty so I'm guessing they're not real pleased to have a leaking mustang they didn't sell sitting on their lot.

I had to fight and fight with Ford and my dealership to tear mine down. After 6 weeks and countless phone calls and visits to the dealership I finally got them to do it. The condition was though is that I had to pay for it if they didn't find a factory defect that would eliminate my mods as the cause. In the end the dealership ended up waving the $300 charge when I paid out of pocket for a new engine.. I'm glad to hear so many people are getting better treatment than I did but it also pisses me off lol.

I watched your vids yesterday and I still can't believe you went through what you did.

How has your car been driving now that it does have the new motor? And dare I ask...... lol any mods or tunes?

I've only been able to get her out a few times because of the weather. So far though she is running very well. The only mods I'm doing are visual and suspension. Not worth risking a tune or anything I can't remove easily. As more and more engines blow up though I feel I have that much more ammo to go back to Ford with. I really hope they take care of you and get you back up and running sooner rather than later. Most of all I honestly really hope they cover it under warranty!
