I wasnt mad, i cant get it to do it consistently. It will go days with out doing it, then do it 3 days in a row.
But i did get mad when i got home and checked the oil. They were going to change the oil then scribe the dipstick, i dont see a definite scribe line and the oil looks dirty and smells like fuel id say. I guess ill pay to have a lab test done again.

I had it one time where the Dealership told me "It isn't running that bad."
I said "You drive the pos then, I'll get a rental and see you in Court. It runs like crap."
Service Manager then got on the phone and talked to the factory rep. He said "It really does run like chit."
It was an oxygen sensor and the last Chrysler I bought was in 1984.

Ford Customer Service
Just picked my truck up from a different dealer. They were unable to hear the rattle. they did change the oil and they marked the dipstick. And of coarse, when I went to leave it made the rattle when I started it. I recorded it and went back inside and showed him. Not much he can do, but its just my luck I guess.
I just checked my oil and it looks pretty nasty. They didnt give me any paperwork and there isnt a tag in the window. Im going to call and make sure they fax or email me the service report. I dont want ford to claim (again) that i didnt have the oil changed.

I recorded it just incase. Short crappy clip but you can hear it. Im going to start putting my phone under the hood to get a better video.

Do you have a case with our Ford Customer Relationship Center? If so, please send over the case number in a PM. If not, please PM your name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and which dealer you're working with; I'll check into this.

I spoke with the dealer today, the guy that I dealt with wasnt there, which he has been pretty helpful and polite. They emailed me my report, they didnt perform a oil change, so i will be getting one done tomorrow. I may have miss heard him or he miss spoke.
Started it this morning, with the camera in the engine compartment. I got a pretty audible rattle. Just wish this was enough to get it fixed. Also with my camera resting on the hood latch, It made my vacuum pump sound extremely loud.

Why is Ford torturing their customers with this issue?
They know it's a problem, they know how to fix it, they know it can be hard to reproduce, but yet they deny, deny, deny.
It shouldn't feel like you won the lottery when you get your dealer to fix a known problem with a known solution.

Cold starts
Now that the weather has dipped into the teens, I am noticing 4-6 ounces of straight gas in my catch can. This was a result of 169 miles over a 3 week period.
hopefully the catch can is diverting all the fuel that got dumped into the oil last winter. Still not hearing the rattle on start-up, so not all bad.
anyone have this happen at lower ambient temperatures?

Ford built the all new Generation ll 3.5L because of it's problems, best to just trade up to generation 2 with twin front timing chains and stronger bottom end. OEM reasoning is that it is quieter with them.

Definitely do it while it has value. The 11-14 ecoboost market is beginning to get a black eye and the market shows it as values (book) have plummeted in the last two months.
