The issue is the fix's they are doing are bandaids, the reason there not doing a true fix is $$$. The less they do the more revenue they make. From a company perspective they weigh out loss, it would be cheaper not to repair and deal with any lawsuits that to do a recall.

I forgot to mention the Ecoboost name has been publicly humiliated by some of the sue happy consumers that contacted the media and of course anything bad the media gets their hands on they run with and throw in their two cents making it worse generalizing that all Ecoboost engines are horrible. Half of the owners I read on here haven't had one issue while some have had nothing but problems.

2012 Ecoboost, just turned over 14K miles, not one issue with engine. Then again I live in the desert with no humidity for all these common engine problems so far with condensation. Best of luck to all of you. There will be a fix, not a failure engine. Every new production engine will have its hiccups along the way, just so happens these showed up earlier then later with the Ecoboost which is hurting the hyped up name thus far.

2012. No issues whatsoever the the motor. I live in eastern Ontario which gets pretty sticky humidity in the summer months. Tow a travel trailer and it pulls it with ease.

2012 fx4, 6.5 bed.
Rear end clunk-in shop for estimated two weeks (currently there).
Power loss after 13-3-3 for intercooler- big loss...
And other common f150 paint issues on the doors, and tail,light housings areas on bed.

Can someone point me to the TSB that is being referred to?
2013 Screw FX4, July/2013 Build date, just over 1k miles on it.
The only issue I can see so far is that when I put the truck in gear it makes a bang sound every so often. Based on other vehicles sounds like a suspension axle wrap issue when the forward gear is selected.
Well that and the tailgate step rattles like a SOB!!! Anyone figure out a fix for the tailgate step rattle?
