basment Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 My 2018 Sport with 7100 miles is now in the Dealer's shop awaiting a new engine. On Monday morning upon startup I noticed a misfire/minor vibration which went away as soon as I started driving. No engine light on dash so I chalked it up to a cold engine. The next morning I again had a slight misfire on first startup which again went away as I drove a few blocks to mail a package. Upon returning to the vehicle and starting it I had a check engine light continuously lit. Shutting off and restarting did not make the light go away. I drove to the Dealer, which is a couple miles from my house, but they were backed up and could not fit me in and asked I come back first thing this morning. I did and dropped off the car. I then got a call from the service advisor a few hours later who informed me a new engine was needed. I will get more details when I stop up there later but I was told that upon checking the problem cylinder with a bore scope they found the inside soaked in oil and also possibly coolant. Because the car is less then 12 months old and still under primary warranty I am to be given a loaner car and the advisor sees no problem with a new long block once required paperwork is filed. The car has never been tuned or modified, has only had full synthetic oil changes (2), and I use Shell V-Power 93 fuel almost exclusively. I have no idea how many weeks/time this will take to get it back. ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basment Posted June 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 UPDATE Advisor wasn't sure but believes it was #2 cylinder that was bad. They are going to push Ford for a new crate engine. Advisor stated they had a 1.5 eco need replacing last month and a 2.7 in a F150 with 30K right before that. Dealership believes my case to be a manufacturing defect. We shall see. I was told if they get a replace order once paperwork is complete it could be at least 2 weeks minimum for the new engine to arrive if one is available per their experience........
