Listen, crap happens with any vehicle. That said, the ford lead times to fix an issue are unacceptable. A fusion loaner for 2 months for my family of 6 simply wouldn’t work. If I pay $75k or 80k for a vehicle I expect a top shelf dealer experience.
I will also say that these issues are not nearly as pronounced in the gen 3 expos. You would think ford would have all the kinks worked out on an engine that’s been around for 10+ years.

Sorry to hear about your engine, can’t believe that happened with such low mileage. My 2010 Expedition just hit 34,000 miles, still no major issues, Ford gave me my 3rd 5 yr extended warranty with a $100 deductible. The tech at Ford told me the new expeditions are like everything else is made like crap.

If you're in Michigan, call Steve Lehto. Lemon law and other automotive cases are his specialty. He also posts videos on YouTube.

I was wrong. Upon more research, these Gen2 ecoboost 3.5 have this type of roller followers. The previous generation had the buckets.

@Soliyou , correct. RFF (roller finger followers) were part of the MY 2018 refresh of the 3.5 EB engine. Cleveland Engine Plant 1, if anyone is interesting in knowing where they come from.

It’s interesting how some vehicles are cursed and others are daisies. I have a friend who has a ‘20 Max limited, HD towing, 20’s etc. He changes the oil with synthetic every 5,000 miles, has a 5 star Tuner, Whipple Mega Cooler, S&B intake, takes it to the track and is in the 13s in the quarter.

It just turned 40,000 miles and has been bulletproof.

Kind of interesting to see a perfect “on the other hand” comparison.

40k miles is not the definition of bulletproof. Need to stretch that to 150k miles.
