Understanding Recent Ford Engine Failures Plaguing Popular Models

Detractors of Ford love to say that the brand's name is shorthand for 'Found On Road Dead.' Unfortunately for drivers of certain models built by the Blue Oval, this proved to be all too true after a manufacturing deficiency compromised critical components used in two popular Ford EcoBoost engines, leading to hundreds of reports of sudden and catastrophic engine failures. The problem was so severe and concerning that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened an investigation into the problem. While the investigators may have officially made their conclusions and closed their case, owners of cars affected by this issue [...]

If you know this feeling firsthand, you're not alone. Plenty of buyers have been there: that sinking moment when their nearly new Jaguar starts acting up in ways the brand's own technicians can't seem to pinpoint, replicate [...]
