DRIVE TRAIN WENT OUT COMPLETE MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED
I PURCHASED MY 2013 FORD F-150 V6 3.5L FROM JONS FRIENDLY USED CARS BACK IN APRIL OF 2017. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DOING FINE UNTIL RECENTLY (LAST 2 DAYS). AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE TRUCK WAS DELAYING W/SHIFTING, THE SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO AND WHICH PUT THE TRUCK INTO FAILSAFE. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS AND IDENTIFYING THE CODE (P0270), IT CONFIRMED THE SYMPTOMS I WAS EXPERIENCING. I GUESS I'M WONDERING IS THIS GOING TO BE SOMETHING THAT NEED TO REPLACE (OUT OF POCKET) OR IS FORD OR THE DEALERSHIP NEEDING TO GET THIS REPLACED IF IT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED/POSTED ON THE TSB. HOW CAN I SEE IF MY CAR IS COVERED OR NOT?

I OPENED THE SUN/MOON ROOF AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE AND AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS IT STUCK IN THE FULL OPEN POSITION. THE FORD DEALER SAID THAT TWO PINS OR BRACKETS OR CLIPS HAD BROKEN OFF THE TRACK MECHANISM THAT THE SUN/MOON ROOF SLIDES WHEN OPENING OR CLOSING. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN IT FAILED AND REMAINED IN THE OPEN POSITION. NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA HAVE TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON F-150 SUN/MOON ROOFS DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE TWO PLASTIC PINS THAT BECOME BRITTLE AND BREAK OFF RESULTING IN THE SUNROOF FAILING. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THIS IS AN OCCUPANT SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE SUDDEN EXPOSURE TO OUTSIDE ELEMENTS WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF. THE FORD DEALERS REPAIR COST WAS NEARLY $2000 FOR A REPLACEMENT OF THE SUNROOF.
