My problem lies with the dealerships. The first one jerked us around because, I can only assume, we didn't buy it from them (our local dealer). The second one, which we purchased it from, is dodging us now. They insist that while they think it's a problem, they don't have ANYTHING on the lot to compare it to. and they can't touch it till they can compare them.
I could hear the turbo whistle from my bedroom, in the back of the house with the windows closed.
Oh, and whatever you do, don't complain directly about poor mileage. They'll back peddle immediately and insist that Ford won't let them "investigate" until you have more than 10k miles. Even in our case where we were getting much better mileage before the turbo got noisy, they won't discuss the mileage issue.
Now I'm a Ford guy through and through, with the exception of my current 2007 Ram, i've only ever had Fords. And a lot of them. But I think I'm done buying new Fords with how we are being treated. Not to mention the apparent ineptness of their "techs" when something does go wrong.
