I'll be glad to, I just need the VINs in order to look up recalls/TSBs since some are vehicle/plant specific.
Thanks,
Mathieu
Mathieu,
If you and Ford have not heard back from K_Redmond, perhaps you and Ford should PM him since his repair cost ranges from $2,300 to $7,000 for a car with only 88,000 miles on it. Also, I think many on this forum would see it as beneficial if you could share all recalls and technical service bulletins associated with a water pump and/or over heating issues associated with the water pump.
Since this problem has the potential to affect all model year 2007-2016 Ford vehicles containing a Duratec 35 (3.5 liter) engine, that include at a minimum: 2007-2016 Ford Edge, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX, 2007-2016 Lincoln MKZ, 2008-2016 Ford Taurus, 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, 2009-2004 Ford Flex, 2012-2012 Ford Fusion Sport, and 2011-2016 Ford Explorer. I think many in this forum are also very interested in the water pump failure statistics that Ford is seeing associated with the water pumps inside the Duratec 35 (3.5 liter) engines. It would be really beneficial if you could provide the following data to this audience associated with the Duratec 35 engines:
- Percentage of water pumps that have failed before 50,000 miles
- Percentage of engines that have had to be replaced before 50,000 miles due to a water pump failure
- Percentage of water pumps that have failed before 100,000 miles
- Percentage of engines that have had to be replaced before 100,000 miles due to a water pump failure
- Percentage of water pumps that have failed before 150,000 miles
- Percentage of engines that have had to be replaced before 150,000 miles due to a water pump failure
There should be plenty of data out there, thanks in advance.
