12 Ford Ranger Engine failure at 78k

[siemi]

Hello,
I just had one of my companies 2012 (End of Sept 12 before we got it) Ford Ranger 3.2 LTD engine fail at 78k miles. It has been serviced at a Ford dealer throughout its life. We are still waiting on details on what the exact cause was, but they have said it will be a new engine and turbo. We have been told by the dealer that it is outside of the 3yr/60k mile warranty. I feel that a complete engine failure is not acceptable considering the miles and expect some goodwill. I understand outside of warranty you might get some smaller failures, but a whole engine and turbo replacement @ nearly £9k cost is hard to deal with. We also have other Rangers in the UK and in our other businesses overseas. I am a bit concerned about the reliability of them now.

Does anyone have a recommendation about how to manage this with Ford or experience in this situation, or am I completely mad thinking this is unacceptable.

Thanks.

It's a hard one to swallow but I bet should they not cover with any gesture you would be able to buy an engine and re condition the turbo for a lot less than you have been quoted.

What has actually failed, engine seized, Conrod broke free etc?

The only detail we have at the moment is oil pump failure. Waiting for a more detail from the dealer.

My company vehicle is a 2013 2.2 Ranger. engine failed at 38000m! Luckily still under warranty and was replaced without quibble, Ford did not revealed what went wrong and said we wont even investigate it, just throw the old engine away and replace with a new short engine.

There was a known issue with 3.2 Ranger oil pick-up pipe...
Depending on the age of your vehicle - it may have missed the production change (11/2012).

Just saying...
