Ford owners sue, saying EcoBoost engine defective

Maybe I missed it (I just glanced at the article) but how widespread is this? Even though there are a lot of posts on the interwebz about it but what I read of the article, it sounds like a small percentage when compared to the total number sold. I'm guessing it may not be any more widespread than all the AFM complaints. Then again, I don't think AFM issues have made the news. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

One of my clients with the sick Z06 had one and traded it on a WRX in the same color as the EB.

It sounds like he wanted another car instead of a truck.

If you're expecting to pull a 45,000 lb boat up Mt Everest with a V6, you have to expect a few issues.

Since when does Mt. Everest have a lake on top of it?

Sounds pretty region and driving style specific. A dry area like where I live it probably wouldn't be an issue but hot humid areas like Houston, New Orleans, etc. it would probably be pretty common.

That's a possibility unless you read the statement in the bottom part of my post...

The lake is on the other side.

He would still be driving it if he didn't have all these issues! He generally loved it. Especial since he was coming from a Colorado...

I'd trade an F-150 for a WRX too! Hell, any truck for that matter...

From what I read on other sites, the intercooler was condensing moisture on the inside and that was getting sucked into the engine causing issues.

That's weird. I've never seen such kind of issue not even in backyard-engineering turbocharged engines...
