Consumer Description
2018 ford f150 bought used @44k miles with a ford cpo 85k warranty truck has been at the dealership multiple times for months at a time for blue smoke out of the exhaust along with warranty coverage of the catalytic converters from excessive oil consumption issue making its way into the exhaust giving area for extreme fires for oil changes and dye test also loosing around 4qts of oil at every 2k miles with no leaks so after inspecting the engine found the cylinders to be oil washed with excessive piston to wall clearance and sleeve scaring and being a master ford certified tech its sad to show ford is bypassing the warranty on these engine's by showing no proof of what the main issue is no diagnostics are being done no tear downs are being done all they do is pull a dipstick and say it failed a oil consumption test they first told us to do pcm updates for the emissions issues with the pcv system and programming of the pcm allowing excessive oil to flow up from vacuum on decel allowing oil into the intake and washed into the cylinders and bore washing the sleeves then they tried the longer dipstick trick and when that wasn't working out they found a loop hole in a third party extended warranty that is allowed to cover whatever selling them as factory ford certified warranty's crazy how a multi-billion dollar organization can do this to customers and employees I've personally delt with the ford motor company and there solution is they will cover half the repairs only which is 6603.37 or you can pay for engine tear down to see if they will allow warranty coverage which is funny enough 6603.37 and being with ford they sell the engine at the dealership to us for 6603.37 so either way there loop hole makes you pay for the base cost of the engine they sell it for when it cost them only 1256.49 to buy one to stock on the shelf at the dealership they basically said you can either take the deal or sue us so that's what ill be doing truck currently has 73k miles barley driven.
