I can tell you that I had this exact same problem. I was a bit blind-sided by the issue as I have not had many other problems with the vehicle and do not drive it hard; no hauling or towing and mainly highway driving. Needless to say, I've got at least a $1500 bill staring me in the face and possibly a loooong wait to find a replacement. So long, that I may have to purchased a refurbished part which is more expensive than the brand new one. This is my 3rd Ford vehicle in a row (all purchased new) and this may be my last. I purchased an extended warranty initially, but of course that has run out by about 9,000 miles. Oh, and for some sweet irony, the problem literally showed up on the date of my final payment for the vehicle.
