I'd like to know how you saved $40k in about 2 years on not much income.
I need to follow your plan instead of what my spending has been like lately. (y)
Ford's full of crap. I'm probably gonna bail.
Let's say the engine lasts to 10k or even 20k miles !, what good is the warranty going to do me when I'm 200+ miles from home and dealer?
ok, so if Ford is unlikely to pony up lol, for a recall, it seems to me there is no way in hell they would release any data/statements about engine failures.
That would leave us twisting in the wind indefinitely, adding our failed build numbers for little benefit.
That warranty direct study used data from their claims with engines of any age or mileage.
That's not comparable at all to the 2.7 failures which are blowing at 2k miles and a few months of age.
I think we agree it's a safety issue. But it isn't a large enough number of failures for Ford to give a crap and do anything like a recall, TSB etc.
They know what costs them money more in the long term, national news of a massive recall vs. some guys on a forum collecting data.
IMO we'll be...
He must be driving the shit out of them with zero break in then. There's a better chance of winning the lottery than blowing 3 engines in a row that have a (very roughly) 0.5% failure rate.
