keep working with bbb. It took 12 months but they bought the vehicle back.

 

Monday ford will buy the vehicle back. Until then I will sale you this vehicle and deliver it free to your site. It burns a quart of oil every 2000 miles and is under warranty. If the vehicle does not perform to you standards all you have to do is get Ford to buy it back. Go for it big daddy.

 

I have kept the oil changed on a regular basis at the dealership (every 2000 miles I travel to the dealership so they can add a quart or more of oil). To insure compliance with warranty, after first oil change, only the dealership has added oil. The dealership maintains all records and I can provide. Then engine burned 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles when new and now the dealership has it down to 2000 miles per quart. It sounds like you are a good mechanic and this is well within your desired performance standards. I stand behind my desire to sale the truck to you. Sounds like there are other 2018, 2019, and 2020 F150 that meet your standards, but as long as you purchase at Fords buy back price I will unload (I mean provide) this truck to you.

 

Better Business worked out for me, but it took a lot of time and paper work. I spent a lot of time and money to get Ford to buy back the truck (about 18 months and probably 3 thousand dollars). The BBB said if I did not have a strong case Ford would have not folded so quickly. As you can see on this forum there are mechanics saying all vehicles burn oil even saying 500 miles/quart is not a big deal. Search for the test service bulletins relating to your problem area, get the dealership on board (go to the owner but start with your salesman and service rep). Begin writing to yelp, FB, and all forums venting. It takes time and money, there will be people on forums like this who will say it is common and the customers fault. Offer to sale them your vehicle, that typically shuts them up. I suspect Ford has folks on this forum to stomp us consumers down. I was lucky and have the state lemon law in my favor along with the BBB. 14 days after submitting a formal complaint through the BBB they settled. That suggests Ford knew of the class action lawsuit and the multiple TSB would not look good during arbitration with BBB. Good Luck to you.

 

The dealership has all records of oil changes. I have brought it to the dealership after the first oil change and they checked oil levels every 2000 miles. The dealership will verify oil consumption and oil changes, if you want the vehicle I will sale it to you for what Ford is offering me. I have to state it is burning 1 quart of oil every 2000 miles, the vehicle has 20000 miles and is under full warranty.

 

You are probably right. The rings did not seat and after 20000 miles still would not seal completely. Unfortunately the solution is to scrap the 60k vehicle. Kind of crappy, but for what I have read many who got a replacement engine still had problems. Ford did not offer me a replacement engine as a solution which suggests the V5.0 litter engine is toast

 

Before I start I want to make it clear that I am not trolling, I'm actually looking to buy a new truck. I had a 1993 F150 with the old pushrod 5.0. Never ran very good, if you looked under the hood at night it looked like the 4th of July there was so much arcing and sparking going on and that was with new plug wires but it gave me 212,000 miles. I eventually sold it and bought a 2012 Tundra with the 4.6L engine. It has never had anything but routine maintenance. It never has had a recall, warranty work, nothing. I change the oil and use M1 0/20, which is what Toyota puts in them from day 1 and I change it every 10k miles. It now has 152,000 miles and the engine looks brand new. But, it is a work truck package and I'm a bit older and would like a few amenities so my wife says get a new truck. After all the Ford vehicles I have owned over the years (2 Bronco II, Diesel Excursion, Taurus, F150) I am naturally inclined to go back to an F150, but here is the rub. I look at the F150 owners forum and it is nothing but problems being discussed. I look at the Tundra forum and it is nothing but I got 300,000 miles, my truck is rolling over a million miles. My truck has, to get back to this forum discussion, has never used a drop of oil. Ford saying that all trucks engines use oil is false. There is no discussion of oil usage on the Tundra site. Lots of discussions about what oil to use and when to change it but nobody has an oil consumption issue. As one Tundra owner posted recently on a discussion about the lower fuel mileage on the 5.7L (averages about 2-4MPG less) you gain that back by the simple fact that you won't spend $3000 on trying to get your truck bought back by Ford. 3 grand pays for a lot of gas. My guess is I will upgrade to a Limited or Tundra 1794 edition and drive it till the wheels fall off and probably never see the inside of a shop except for some maintenance items I don't feel like doing myself. Hope this helps for those of you with stretched timing chains on the eco boost and oil consumption problems on the Coyote.

 

Yes, within 18 days of contacting BBB, Ford agreed to buy it back. You have to send a letter to ford and mention lemon law. The dealership has to be on your side. I am still out 10k with tag, insurance, depreciation, and time, but it ended well. I could not have sold the vehicle on open market for what they paid..

 

Well strangely enough I got a jeep gladiator. So I am trying to stay with American manufactures, but your points are valid. You forgot to mention oil burning destroys other parts like the catalytic converter.

 

When I bought my 2012 Tundra was the most American made of all the trucks. Final assembly in San Antonio, transmissions built in Huntsville and engines in Charleston.
