So I was driving down the highway, cruise control on 65 mph and then I give it some gas to merge to the right lane and I had my AP connected and I hear a loud whoosh and let go off the gas and the AP said I did 29.7 lbs of boost, I freak out and take the first exit I see and when I'm making a right turn I go into first, then second, BABYING the throttle to where I'm not even going into boost to where I can just pull over safely and then I hear a clunk and the engine turned off and the car's electronics were going crazy. First thing I do when the car cools is check the oil levels and they were fine.
Get the car towed to my buddie's shop and there's oil in cylinder #3, no cracks on the block and no smoke.
Take the car to the dealership stock and one of the technicians there calls Ford and tells them my engine has NO oil and no dipstick and it was user error that the crank locked up and engine went bye-bye. Mind you before the car left on the tow truck I checked oil levels with my buddy and had a fresh oil change from a little over 4 weeks ago and the levels were fine but somehow the dipstick went missing and so did all 6.5 qts of oil on the way to the dealership :shrug: No idea why they would do me dirty like that. When I contacted Ford Motor Company, the super nice asshole that dealt with my case didn't even bother to look into it and was rude right off the bat.
Long story short, Ford tech went out to check it out and that did nothing so the service was declined due to their "findings"
I'll take the loss, fix the vehicle, and trade it in for a Q50s. It's also fun to have my girlfriend telling me how stupid I was by trading my 2013 5.0 for a ticking time bomb.
Good luck to all of you and your ticking ecobombs and may the odd be ever in your favor.
