 Description of the problemI previously filed a report due to the engine coolant low light coming on. Took car to the dealer where they ran test and discovered coolant had leaked into the engine and oil and that the engine would have to be replaced. Quoted a price of $6,400+/- when they pulled the engine they removed the turbo for re-use. Upon removal of the turbo, bearings and shrouds of metal feel out. I was told that there was catastrophic failure and that the bearings and metal had exploded into the aluminum engine block causing a crack and allowing coolant into the engine and oil. I'm still waiting on the repair to be completed, and know the cost appears to be around $7,500+/-. Still haven't heard back from ford. This could have been bad of the engine shut down while driving.
