I drag race my modded 2019 Edge ST with the 2.7People talk about great experience - but which 2.7L did they have ?
2.7L EcoBoost Nano (2nd Gen) - Bronco 2.7L - new engine starting 2018 -
See also Ford 2.7L EcoBoost Nano - see 'In 2018 . . .'
And see video 2.7L EcoBoost Details You Should Know
2015 and 2017.And you mentioned 3rd vehicle w 2.7 Eco ?
What were the years on the other two ?
And it's modded.Okay, the 2019 Edge 2.7 Eco you race with must be the same 2.7 Eco as Bronco (Nano 2nd Gen) - and conditions don't get more extreme than track racing - so there's hope -
Yes I would!Would you feel differently about them if I said China, Germany, Mexico, or USA?
Great info, thanks
This is a little over-dramatic.I full-well understand the scope of this problem. I'm rolling the dice everytime I pull out of the driveway.
Really, immediate remediation? That is an unreasonable standard. This is not part of the warranty agreement, there is no law that states this...it is not a standard elsewhere in society.What are you, or better, do you work for Ford? When you lay down 50k for a new vehicle, and the engine fails at 1000 miles, YES, you should expect immediate remediation. You can not get and install a new engine in less than 30 days. Then what mis-matched numbers with the rest, oh did you say depreciated value? Get real!
This is an unreasonable expectation and will only lead to disappointment. If the furnace goes out in my house, do they replace my house? Of course not, because that would be silly. Does it decrease the value of my house...nope.I would agree that a major failure warrants additional compensation beyond the repair. Reduced to resale value for example, which of the 2 vehicles would a second owner prefer: likely not the one with an engine replacement on the carfax. So even just from that standpoint, the value of the vehicle has been reduced through no fault of the owner. Then take into consideration the human aspect of this experience, which is a personal matter, but I would expect most businesses to be looking to make their customers happy. When you find a fingernail in your meal at a restaurant, are you satisfied if they replace just part of your plate where the nail was, or would like a new plate of food? I bet we’d all also expect a visit from the manager to apologize and an offer to comp your meal.
You WOULD have had me at Japan.Would you feel differently about them if I said China, Germany, Mexico, or USA?
Well that's the issue... from the anonymous person posting about the problem, they suggested that a bad batch of valves were delivered to Ford in April 2021 - which may or may not be true.How wide spread is the valve problem really. Yes it sucks if it happens to you and I won't be happy if it happens when mine arrives (on the train). Are we talking 10 out of a 100 or 100 out of 10,000 engines. Exclusive to Broncos or any nano 2.7? I'm sure Ford is working to id the problem and identify the engines with bad batch valves if this is the problem. Unfortunately, they may not be able to ident individual engines as 2 consecutive engines may have valves from different batches. The only thing they may be able to do is offer a fix as fail program with extended mileage. Not an ideal solution but might be only realistic way. Work with Deere products and they replace stuff if the individual units can be id'ed. I have see them pick out random serial numbers for recall and leave others be. Ford will address this but unfortunately not everyone will be happy with their response.
Well, that's reassuring - I am surprised that they aren't just grabbing a motor out of a Dirt Mountain Bronco...bump for update - bottom of original post
UPDATES:
10/28/21 - Dealer says they expect the new motor to be 'released' in mid November. Their biggest concern is finding the "one time use" parts, more so than the actual failed part.
