Bad BOV

When I would step on the gas it got worse as time went on. I never got the code do to mySCT not working. All they told me is that it's over boosting and they cant fine out why. If that light comes back on I'm pretty much calling it done. Lemon time! I really like the car but its becoming a problem at this point.

Depends on how long it’s over boosting ..timers have to be exceeded for the codes to be set

OP I forget but is your car stock or tuned when you took it to the dealer?

Sadly I’d be willing to bed that your car has been sitting a lot at the dealer...not that many things can cause over boosting...boost solenoids, wastegates and actuators

With all the limiters and throttle control on the stock tune I’m surprised that it can actually overboost and not throw a complete fit at you....how do you know it’s overboosting?

I am not so sure they 'know' it is over boosting .. i *SHOWED ON A LAPTOP* the boost curve and the s-pattern when it would dump boost when my gate/turbo was bad and see it rebuilt boost it back to 20+psi and they looked like they had no idea what i was talking about.  When i said it was the boost pressure in Kpa they didn't have an idea... this was the 'engine guy' ...

My concern is the overheating .. a drop in long block shouldn't over heat,  it sounds like the didn't bleed it properly or burp it.  or worse they MIXED coolants and now you have jelly in the block.

As to the overboosting,  skip the code.  Get a handheld from somewhere that can log a 0-70mph run.  What i expect is its dumping for another reason.  but thats my crazy tin-hat..

I will just wait and see what they tell. I will update you guys as I get more information. Thanks again everyone for the input.

UPDATE ON THE TAURUS: I called the dealership last night and was told that they found more problems with the new engine. Apparently fluid from the radiator and the transmission or engine are being mixed together. Not good. He also mentioned that the mechanics dont want to work on my car anymore. Hahahaha I think it time to contact my attorney.

My car has been at the dealership for almost 3 weeks already. I was never even offered a rental even though I keep asking for one.

That is PURE BS!  I know there are limitations depending on what type of warranty coverage you have but they should at least accommodate you with a rental for @ least up to 14 Days IIRC!
I would try speaking with the Service Manager personally for starters and lastly it might be worth while to mention Ford corporate and the BBB if nothing is getting rectified!!
Best of luck and sorry for the inconvenience.  Z
 
I am calling my lawyer today. I'm just done with the whole situation. My car has been at the shop about 6 times already. I'm pretty sure I can get help

What model year? I thought yours was a 15 but now idk where I read that at. 

Do you have ESP? If so you should have already have a rental.

 
I would wait on the lawer. Get the the regional manager on the phone and try him last.. if he's unable to provide a satisfactory answer or action THEN get a a lawyer.

As soon as you get a lawyer it's game over untill it's settled.. no more work will occur and the dealership will be quite hostile from that point forward.

 
It's a 2013

So I went to the dealership again. My car is just sitting there not being worked on anymore. They are trying to get me on buying a different car. I'm lost and dont know what to do anymore. Any suggestions???????

Ha. That's laughable.

Of course they want you in a different car.

Pure profit for them, that's for sure.

Given Ford's opting to no longer produce any sedans, it wouldn't be shocking if they steered you towards a CUV, or SUV. Big surprise there..... NOT.

Nonsense.

Have them fix your $h!t (and to your satisfaction) or move onto a different dealer.

Or better yet, follow through like you stated previously with a lawyer and/or litigation.

You said yourself that you're done. Correct?

Then why even entertain another vehicle or ask the community how to proceed?

Follow your own intitution my friend.

Well said my friend. I really like my car and I don't want to get my self on another 30 thousand dollar loan again. My question now is "what would you do"?

Here's Fords Direct line for future reference!  Z

Ford Corporate phone number 1800-392-ford (3673)
 
I'd still call the Regional Ford manager and or the Direct line that Z posted.  Don't go Lawyer until you absolutely have too.

If the dealership did the swap, they are kinda on the hook.  But my question that I did not see in the initial read,  why was there a engine swap?

My engine blew up. They change my long block 2x turbos and cats. I'm calling them tomorrow.

Yeah they did the work and they should warranty it.  What was the cause of failure the 1st time?
My engine blew up. I had oil and medal parts in the bottom.

Z will have to correct me,  but i am willing to bet $$ they did not investigate or replace the radiator on the rebuild.  i do believe the radiator is a dual purpose unit and if it was shot the 1st time it may have took out the 1st block,  and then the second. 

Putting the tin hat on.. the GM is now faced with taking in a 'trade' he can then right off to auction and cover his ass... or explain a nearly 13k$ deficit to his regional manager. 

Call the big bosses.
