Purchased this truck in March of 2015 with 40,000 miles on it. On our way home from vacation in Colorado (we live in Wisconsin) . the truck died in Kearny, Nebraska. Towed and diagnosed with a blown turbo. Turned out the fins from the blown turbo got into the motor, So after 5 weeks in the shop, we got a new motor installed, a new turbo, then rear end problems got us a new rear end and wheel bearings. It took 2 trips to Nebraska to get our camper, horses, and truck back home. Ford warranty covered most of the parts and labor. I have driven the truck 3,000 miles since, and yesterday it all happened again! blown turbo, ruined engine, truck towed back to Ford to start this whole nightmare all over again. On the history report of this truck, this is the 4th turbo to be replaced in the last 20,000 miles. What recourse do I have with Ford? This downtime is costing me plenty of $$ even though it is warranty work, I am making payments on this truck and it sits in the shop way to often. Does a 3 yr old vehicle qualify for the lemon law?
