What happened to your Ecoboost that it straight up broke down? They have their problems but not to the point of leaving people on the side of the road typically.
First trip out of town with it (actually about half way back, 250ish miles to go) the left tank of the intercooler blew partially off. This was at about 5k miles on the truck. We limped it into the nearest ford dealership but they were booked for a couple weeks. So I “fixed“ it the best I could and we limped it home. By the time we got home, it was blowing a lot of oil out, the left turbo was toast. Warranty covered everything.
Next, had a bad misfire. One coil pack was bad.
A few thousand miles later, another bad misfire. Thought it was another coil pack but it turned out one of the spark plugs was missing the ceramic and part of the electrode. Ford graciously replaced the one plug but wouldn’t warranty the rest. They also couldn’t find or say where the rest of the plug went. They also reflashed the ecm. It never had the same punch or mpg after that visit.
A little while after that, had to get the front hubs replaced along with the vacuum solenoid so the 4 wheel drive would actually engage. It still only worked when it wanted.
At about 35k miles the real fun would begin. The truck would lose electrical power when driving (dash, radio, hvac, and gas pedal would go dead) but the truck would stay running. Sometimes it would come back with a restart, sometimes it wouldn’t. This would involve several trips to the dealership and several tows and a bunch of replacement parts. Totally sporadic but loved to pull this crap going to work. They actually strongly suggested I find another vehicle to drive. During all this fun, I had what I’m guessing was a bunch of condensation buildup in the intercooler and was ingested by the engine on the highway. It coughed and sputtered, blew a bunch of smoke out then cleared up. Soon after, I started noticing an engine knock, especially when cold and the power and mpg were way down. Ford stated they couldn’t really do much because there was no check engine light on but acknowledged the knock. If I wanted to pay the labor they would investigate, lol.
I had enough and traded it at 45k miles and not quite 2 years old for a new 4runner. I know I had a lemon but just didn’t have the time or the resources to fight that fight. I know some folks that have had zero issues with their ecoboost trucks but I also know some that have had similar issues.
