Engine BLOWN and FORD is FIXING it

[SISTERIACO]

IT has been a month and the after market warranty company is going to show up today at the dealership. Hopefully to approve my new engine. Has anyone else suffered a catastrophic failure on their 2019 ? My vehicle has 64,000 miles on it and I have taken excellent care of the motor. Just wondering if this is a thing with these 2.3 engines?

Like what @got3fords said, not much chatter on here about complete engine failure.
There's plenty of nagging issues both small and large, but catastrophic engine failure isn't really one of them.

Reading your other post I don't think this is a ford issue.

This is only the second motor to blow up that I recall being reported here and on the other one, “it was all the mods!”

I hope it gets covered.

as someone who works for ford, I have seen only 2 in the last 3 years and mine was one of them lol

I agree, sounds like the "excellent care" that has been shown to the motor included letting it run low on oil.


"Update: On Friday I took the Ranger to the Ford dealership. It has bee there one full day. The service advisor told me that the oil was low and verified if they could do an oil change on it. I am wondering where that is coming from because the other shop did not mention anything about that. "

I think there have been 3 engines I have heard of. Mine, my23ranger and someone on here but they never updated after they said they needed an engine under warranty.

Mine was 50k and the #4 rod bearing was toast. Looked spun but some here disagreed. Either way it was toast. Cam bearings were fine so it wasnt an oil issue, despite my 5k miles full synthetic oil changes. Told it was super rare and by the lack of post here, it's rare. BONE STOCK too, well aside from k&n filter but I stopped running that too after a while.

Always had the trans at the back of my mind but that's been good. My truck is currently in the shop for a bad AC compressor. 62k miles. Thankfully Ford extended warranty on my truck.

My motor was replaced at 32500, covered under warranty. Coolent in the cylinders, took like three months

lol Duke so true

I am not convinced that K&N filters are superior to the stock OEM filters. You'd be surprised how little the amount of impurities are needed to destroy an engine.

I also think that there might be more going on here than we know.

Probably as expensive as blowing the tranny...destroying the transmission...

That's because they changed the gas in the oil and figured it would be back to the full mark before you got to another shop.
