Few months ago my waterpump failed (while driving without me knowing) and I drove it until I got the "Engine Coolant Overtemp" light on my dashboard. As soon as that came up I pulled into an auto body shop. Mechanic called me later to tell me I need a new water pump....$1500 later I thought I was good to go. 2 months later, driving on the highway and I notice I have no turbo power. Bring it into the shop, they check the front turbo and say its blown. Dealership tells them to cut the downpipes to check the rear turbo, that is also no good. I tell the mechanic I had the water pump issue a few months back and he mentions that when the engine was running hot, the turbo's were as well which most likely led to them both failing. Car's only got 60k miles on it, was just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar with failing Turbo's this early in the lifespan of the explorer or if a failed water pump has led to any additional issues down the line? Hoping the warranty company doesnt say the turbo's failing was due to a pre-existing condition and refuse to cover it...
