OuterBanks needs new Turbo

[LizziesBroncoSport]

Was making a loud whistle when accelerating only. Dealer found a bearing going. They will be replacing the entire Turbo Assemby....anyone else? Has 7k miles

Sorry to hear you're having troubles. Hopefully the dealership can straighten this out quickly.

How could a 1 year old model with only 7K miles not be under warranty?

Let us know if they found what caused the turbo bearing to fail.

That is my concern being in cold MN, starting up in the morning, driving I try to keep the rpms below 3k until the engine warms up. Then let it idle for about 30 seconds before shutting off.

I am in cold MN, but in an isolated garage. Nonetheless, that shouldn't have any effect on the Turbo. I will keep everyone posted. Right now they cannot locate the part...

I have a low hiss that is louder when accelerating. Service found nothing. I think it’s the parking cable but interesting to hear the turbo issue.

waiting on my Ford dealer to report back from the “hotline” to the Ford corporate mothership.
