The ticking sound started at about 24000 miles and has been getting progressively worse since then. It now has 46000 miles and sounds like a loud diesel. Took it to a local mechanic and he says that the timing chain is ready to fail and "I better not travel out of town with it in this condition". Said it would be around $2500 to fix.
I wanted a second opinion and took it to our local ford dealer. Having read enough complaints about this problem I was ready for the worst. Sure enough, ford said the engine needs to be replaced for $7300. What? 46,000 miles and needs a new engine? I told him "I thought it was supposed to be ford tough?" He had no reply.
I bought this vehicle new and serviced it regularly. Something is very wrong here! Ford needs to be accountable and recall this engine. Ford knows there is a problem with this engine but refuses to do the right thing. Time for class action law suit!
