Description of the problem | After having the car for 5 months (59,000 mi) the engine blew up while driving 60mph on a state highway and dropped all of its oil. The ecoboost mustangs are incredibly prone to this issue and ford is just sweeping them under the rug. Ford had my car for 4 months when it was misfiring (which is how "ecoboom" begins) and replaced almost everything under the powertrain warranty minus the engine, transmission and turbocharger. When i got the car back it started to jump timing then misfire then all of a sudden it stopped. Then the engine blew up. |
