AS title reads, the 18 Raptor with 5100 miles on odometer hesitated on take off oil pressure gauge went to zero, made a cling clang sound and died on side of hwy.
I phoned Ford customer care and they had a roll back dispatched within 30 minutes and hauled to Ford dealership.
Ford Dealer called me and said engine appears to have a hole in the block, Ford instructed them to start tearing engine down and they are flying in one of there gurus in to diagnose and investigate what the heck happened.. The service manager told me that Ford seemed very concerned and acted like this was a RARE occasion..
Has anyone else heard of engine failure on these new Raptors?.. I will keep you posted..

It unfortunate but every component/assembly has a failure rate. Hopefully its a fraction of a percent or less.

Thanks for sharing, keep us posted.

I'm not bashing it, its mechanical. It did however leave a bad taste in my mouth and will only accept a NEW ENGINE Replacement..
Ford will do the right thing. Depending on what Ford does will determine if I keep it, trade it for a new one or sell it

Dunno, don’t care . The manager said they might replace the block or some shit.
He might as well be talking aerospace engineering with me ...That’s why I told him I only want a complete new engine

That sucks! Why are your tires so small?



They are my old ones, I prefer more tire as well so I put these on his .

That’s really disappointing ( yeah, I know I don’t need to tell you that ), I hope they have you back up and running quickly.

Ecoboost failures are not unheard of. Ford knows the drill with these by now.
