Consumer Description

While sitting at an idle my car killed. Tried to restart and it sounded like the starter was spinning. Trailered it to a garage and was told the engine had no compression on any of the cylinders. Garage told me the wet belt most likely snapped and wrecked the engine! Car has approximately 170,000. Heard there was a ongoing law suit for these 1.0L ecoboost engines. Also have researched issues and saw there was a good will they are doing for this issue. 10 years or 150,000 miles and they would replace the engine. Don't understand the 150,000 cause most cars are not even broke in at that mileage. I think ford should have to repair or replace these engines, cause they have admitted the internal wet belt is the issue with so many failing engines at such low mileage!
