Description of the problem | Radiator failed at 37,500 miles due to leaking. Engine overheated. This is a common problem with this particular vehicle and ford is aware, as they extended the warranty on the 2008 (same model radiator) and have since changed the design on the latest model. They will not cover this item under the 100k mile powertrain warranty, and will not extend the warranty on a common failure item. Failure of the radiator can not only cause engine damage but can be a safety concern if engine self destructs while driving due to overheating. |
