Description of the problem | Sudden engine failure at 65,000 miles when driving at about 45 miles per hour. The ford dealership where the vehicle had been serviced said there was a loss of antifreeze and the engine overheated and needs to be replaced. I was stranded on the airport road with no feeder and had to call 911. There was no warning lights to go on or any warning. When reading other post on internet the car behaved just as those who had confirmed that there was a water pump failure. This was the ford duratec engine where the water pump is driven with the timing chain and if it fails the water enters the oil system and destroys the engine. |
