not a ford guy

I might have to worry about a similar situation like ghosts if I bought a truck like this in another decade or so. I have always bought 10-15 year old vehicles.

Look up " implied warranty of merchantability ". A quick online search made it look like Canada has that as well as the USA. Essentially that means that any product sold new has a warranty that it will work for the purpose it was sold for.

If the product (including trucks) does not work then you have legal action against the manufacturer including damages. When the time comes for a lawyer using this law should get you a new truck and possibly triple damages for expenses you have incurred because your truck would not drive down the road.

I only signed up to mention this to you. I do not plan on coming back here. I own a 1999 grand marquis and a 97 dodge diesel truck. Ford should have fixed this problem long ago by trading vehicles at no charge. Customer service is more valuable than a few dollars spent when it comes to a real issue that can affect your companies reputation.

This issue about the close to worst possible ford service and possibly bad manufacturing is definitely spreading.

Not really a manufacturers issue. Compare the amount of problems vs trucks sold (hundreds of thousands). This is different case an is more of a warranty and certain ford personally not
Making the issue right.

This thread has been crazy, I'm fairly new on here but a long time Ford owner. I wonder if this is a computer/PCM issue on his truck. It seems alot of issues with these trucks come from Canada. Not implying it's the Canadian owners faults just that the conditions in Canada ie weather elevation and things must play hell on these ecoboosts for an unknown reason. I'm just chiming in, but he may never get anything done without civil court being involved. Just my 2 cents

The cars and trucks that are bought in Canada come of the exact same assembly lines they do in the US in this case Dearborne and Kentucky. For the most part the only difference is the speedometer is reversed numbering for kilometers vs miles. As far as elevation goes that may have a factor but I don't think ghost is working in the Rocky Mountains elevations and even if he was there are similar elevations and landscapes in the US.

As for the blown EB in Canada here's one in the US so I think we can rule out the invisible border line that is drawn across the two countries as source of the issue. Some nice pics of this grenaded engine as well I didn't read far into not sure if it's the model year or not as Ghost's.

As far as driving habits I can't comment on ghosts driving patterns but can only say based on his posts nothing appears to be abnormal driving conditions at the time of the engine failure. Some drivers are more aggressive then others I could see maybe 3 motors blown driving with WOT with a full load maybe?

I guess we'll have to wait for the "engineer" to come back with his report since anything at this point is speculation.

Hope you get satisfaction, and hopefully a new truck with minimal cost. Good luck ghost.

Was completely unacceptable to close that thread. The "Ashley bashing" basically consisted of people stating that it's completely unacceptable for Ghost to have to deal with ANYTHING further than getting a new truck at this point and that SOMEONE needs to get off their *** at Ford and fix the problem.

When someone gets treated as bad as that with a $50,000 purchase, they deserve for others to stand behind them in outrage when things go so wrong.

And as there was no obscenity, no harsh name calling and no calls for violence, again I think it was extremely poor judgement for that thread to be shut down just because some mod thinks nothing further can come from it.

If we want to discuss it, well that's why the he$$ we're here, right???!

That's all good, but in the end the mods that run the board have the final say on threads that stay open and those that close. I'm not saying it's right, just that that is the way it is.

Shaggy1970

Exactly! So much so that when the thread was initially closed one mod went back and looked at it and determined that closing it was not warranted but the site "owner" overrides that sound decision, I bet that went over like a turd in a punchbowl. Bad judgement to say the least!

XtraLargeTall

The closing and reopening were by the same mod. You honestly don't have a clue how site moderation works so I would recommend you stop digging yourself deeper and deeper into this hole of accusations and opinions you're throwing around. You can't even keep the facts straight of the state of the thread.

Lenn

I think he's referring to Meski closing it, then reopening it, the me coming along and closing it again.

Guess what shaggy... It's probably going to open back up, too. Hows that hit ya? See... It's a beautiful thing when you give people time to calm down and give staff time to analyze a situation. Do we explain every last little detail to everyone? Nope. Do we try to keep things as transparent as possible most of the time, yes. Sure do.

So... THIS thread will probably be closed and the original reopened. It will be heavily monitored and depending on how people act, it might get closed again. This is an odd situation for us and Ford alike. No matter what most members think, the most you're doing by posting diatribes is voicing an opinion. In this instance, nothing said on here or any website it gets posted to will effect Fords outcome in any way.

I really do wish Ghost the best and I hope Ford steps up but the issue of multiple engines going caput in such short order leads to a TON of investigation. As outsiders, we need to let the powers that be (Ghost and Ford) handle this and we can sit and watch the play by play and offer support to Ghost as he goes.
