Nope, never had any codes, even when there was 1.6qts of added fuel in the crankcase.

There in lies the problem for those of us with this issue. If it was more widespread, Ford would have to put some resources into figuring out what the problem is. I just wish I could speak to, or email, the person making the decision that I need to drive 5000 more miles with a crankcase...

I've had this happen once, the warnings on the dash cycled thru quite a few warnings, too fast to read, ending with "see manual". At the time, I was trying to drive a couple miles down the road from where I work to grab some lunch, and this happened. I got out of the truck and returned about 5...

Yes, this whole ordeal is really troubling. Because Wisconsin's lemon law requires everything to happen in the first year of ownership, it looks like I am SOL there. Per the dealership, the Field Service Engineer wants me to put 5000 miles on the truck before bringing it back in for service...

In the future, call Ford Customer Care, and open a case number. I wasn't getting a loaner vehicle last spring, when my issues started, and ended up having to take a day of vacation 3 separate times and wait around the dealership while they worked on the truck. I finally called Ford Customer...

In my case, I never use the auto/start stop, as I added a nightlight very early on to circumvent it. I never take short drives, as I live out in the country and it is 12 miles to the nearest small town and 25 miles to where I work. While I don't think this is a widespread problem, I believe if...

Update..........I am very unhappy. Dealer called, told me to pick up the truck, they did not fix anything. The Ford Engineer recommended I drive the truck until the next oil change (at least 5000 miles) and that they wanted an oil sample with at least 5000 miles on the oil. Mind you, I already...

I wouldn't go by the smell so much, but by the oil level. Since March, my oil level goes up about a 1/10 of an inch every 50 miles on average. Injectors replaced twice, and HPFP and all fuel lines replaced once, made no difference. It seems that ambient temperature plays a role, as it seemed...

I brought that up with the service writer, and he told me he looked into it and that there is not a replacement engine available.

Dropped the truck off last week Monday. I have not heard from the Dealership since. On Friday, I got a call from the Ford Customer rep and was told the dealership is working with the Ford Engineer and Master Mechanic to diagnose the issue. I was told I would get a call on this coming Tuesday...

Ford Customer Service just called me today. The dealer has had my truck since Monday and I was told they have done everything the Ford Engineer has asked, but have not figured it out yet. I was told I would be contacted next Tuesday for a progress report. The rep is also inquiring about a...

I don't believe it is an inherent design flaw and I am sure the cause of the issue is "fixable", but it seems diagnosing the cause is challenging? The main concern I have, even if/when fixed, is how much accelerated engine wear has happened due to the oil being out of specified viscosity range...

Exactly what I was thinking and why I am curious as to what they will try next? The other source for the issue could be cylinder/piston blow-by, but the dealer said that both the compression and leak down tests passed within spec. The last time they replaced the injectors, the Ford engineer...

Well, I dropped the truck off at the dealer for another try at fixing the issue. They said the Ford Engineer has already been in touch with them and something about replacing the injectors? I said that can't be right, you have replaced all 4 injectors twice already, along with the HPFP. I am...

No

No, never been tuned, and even if I would like to in the future, this issue will probably prevent me from ever doing it as I would worry if I had issues, they would blame the tuner.

Well, regarding any premature engine wear, I hope your right, but it is one of those things that you won't know unless it pops. I have already inquired as to if I had problems related to engine wear, that happened after the warranty expires, if it would be covered, and I was told....no, and...

It was the dealer that has been working on it. They told me on two different occasions that there was not an engine available for the Ranger. I do not know that they broke more than they fixed, as it might just be coincidence that my AC hasn't worked since the first time they worked on it? It...

I was actually thinking Ford might want to do the buyback, as it must be costing them a lot money each time I go in for this issue. The first person who had mentioned initiating the buyback, was the Ford Customer Care Specialist, who now sounds like that is not an option yet? When the...

Thank you, I do not recall that in my stack of original paperwork, but I will check it out.
