Ford EcoBoost Engine Problems Result in Class Action Lawsuit

Recent developments have brought to light significant issues with Ford's EcoBoost engines, leading to class action lawsuits and recalls that may impact consumers' rights under lemon laws.

Overview of the Issue

Ford's 2.7-liter and 3.0-liter EcoBoost engines, found in models such as the 2021-2022 Ford F-150, Bronco, Edge, Explorer, and Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus, have been reported to suffer from defective intake valves. These defects can cause the valves to crack or break, potentially leading to engine failures.

Legal Actions and Recalls

In response to these issues, Ford initiated a recall to address the defective intake valves. Additionally, a class action lawsuit has been filed alleging that Ford was aware of these defects but failed to disclose them to consumers. The lawsuit seeks remedies for affected vehicle owners who have experienced engine problems due to these defects.
