2013 ecoboost junk need help
 
hey
I got a bran new 2013 eco boost about 3 weeks old now 1100km total been to the dealer twice he said he has only seen one as noisy as this one and I went fire wood cutting and man I may as well have a diesel.
I really don't know what it could be exact maybe a bad turbo it makes a very loud wizel and the has very loud turbo wine how ever I found it has had turbo leg on and off as well as a short of power at times.
I'm ready to take it back. any ideas

Hey, cut him some slack, it's hard to talk with your teeth chattering in the cold... :D

I sure like to try some of that "turbo wine" though... :D:D:D

Hey 07, try slowing down. Take a breath. Compose yourself. There ain't no problem what can't be dealt with, OK?

I think we may have just found the guy who can turn wadda into turbo wine. Keep him close.

Might I suggest a cliff? Maybe drive it off.

It's been to the dealer twice in 1100km? What was found on those two service orders? Any CEL's or powertrain lights (wrench)?

I'd consider a 5.0... none of this new-fangled direct injection and those pesky turbochargers...

Relax - my milage sucked when it was brand new too & improved quite a bit & don't just go by the computer either. Take out the pencil & right it down the old way & you might surprise yourself -

I've got a 2014 eco super crew with 3.73 and 800km. I'm only getting 10-12 mpg in town but it will improve. Right now it gets about the same mileage as our nissan pathfinder which is much smaller and lighter so im still happy. Its a great truck!!

Every auto manufacturer makes lemons now and then. You want more lemons than Ford? You ain't seen nothing yet, just go with a Chevy or Fiat (Dodge). Then you'll see how the "other half" lives. Doggy trucks AND poor mpgs. Just go on those forums and find out for yourself.

I have 11,000mi (what, about 17,000kms?) on mine, and I get 24 mpg at around 60mph (c. 100kph). Just let it break in awhile! And about break in: drive it like you stole it! It's better for the engine, and mpgs.
