Posting for a friend going through a weird situation, heres the story.
2014 ford f150 130,000kms starts acting up and has loss of power.
He takes it into ford dealership, dealership phones back says $3700 for cam phasers and a couple other bigger parts. He gives them the go ahead to fix.
Picks truck up, seems to run better. Week later same thing. Brings it back in and apperantly one of the cam phasers is acting up again, all good cause it under warranty.
Week and a half later brings us to today, ford calls and now a compression test shows that the engine is shot. Wtf.
This sounds off to me like how did these professionals now know this the first time it was in.
Cost of engine replacement is 12k, and they will subtract the $3700 from previous repair, off the total amount bringing it to just under 9k.
Got a quote from another smaller auto shop for $6k engine and labour.
So either way hes fucked. And out the previous 4k of he takes it off the lot.
Is there any recourse? Or is this how she goes. Could this not have been diagnosed in the first place?
