Consumer Description

Purchased the used car in June 2023 with 63k miles. Driving home to TX Nov 2023, low oil pressure outside Houston. Towed car to local Ford dealer. Was told the turbo failed damaging the engine. Bothe turbo & engine must be replaced est $6-7K to repair but over a month back order on engine. Had to rent a truck & tow my car back home to El Paso. Vehicle still not fixed due to cost and backlog on parts. After much research this is a known issue with Ford ecoboost models that they refuse to take responsibility for on the badly designed engine.
