Upon much research and reading I narrowed my white smoke problem down to a turbo seal problem. Determined by finding oil in down pipe, so going off this assumption.
Ford dealer replaced the turbo's twice in one year. 1st time was 2/8/13 low pressure turbo out of spec and high pressure seized. replaced both turbo's. on 6/24/13 high pressure turbo leaking oil past bearing into exhaust. High pressure turbo replaced.
Now here we are just over a year later. I've had the truck for about a month now but have the history of the vehicle/know of the previous owner.
Should the Ford dealer assume any responsibility being that the turbo only lasted for one year? I would think ANY reputable respectable Ford dealer would realize one year is not a reasonable amount of time for a turbo to last before it fails and would repair maybe with deductible??
What's your thoughts? Has anyone been down this road and got any success?
