EcoBoost Class Action

Post by 5chn3ll » Thu Jun 10, 2021 9:22 am

Anyone following this? Ford is being accused of hiding flaws in its 1.5-liter, 1.6-liter, and 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines. That's a shitload of engines...

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I remember the overheating thing with the Mustang 2.3 and the Focus RS 2.3 where the head gaskets got mixed up and RS cars were blowing up by 5000 miles but I guess those are not even eco boost engines. Overheating seems to be a Ford plague lately.

Wait, these things didn't have coolant level sensors? In 2019? Holy cow.

US car manufacturer can't get out of its own way, film at 11. JFC.

Not even a float switch in the coolant tank...
