Consumer Description
I have an invoice regarding multiple leaks on the engine, and loud rattling noise from the cam phasers. This engine is notorious to have these leaks from every forum I have read. It doesn’t seem to have a mileage relation either. The problem I have with this is that these leaking components can leak fast enough for a customer to not notice and can lose lubrication within the engine leading to premature wear and tear. The cam phasers have been revised but should all be replaced. If the cam phasers are in charge of timing control and valve train manipulation and if they fail they could throw the engine out of timing and cause a massive malfunction, bent valves, connecting rods, damaged pistons etc. this needs to be addressed as it is a lengthy and expensive repair. This effects all ecoboost engines. After multiple online chats, phone calls and 6 emails, ford is not willing to budge and help their customers with this issue and offer any compensation. Also, I had the oil pan replaced 2 years and 5 months ago due to it leaking. I think this stems from it being made of a plastic compound. Oil gets hot and cold and the weather in Minnesota changing so rapidly causes this to fail so early.
