On Friday, 9/6, my engine blew as I was accelerating from one freeway (I15) onto another (I60) on my way to work at 730 a.m. As I was accelerating, I heard a weird grinding noise, I lost power and the truck downshifted from 6th to 4th, and then I saw smoke (can't remember if it was blue or white -- not black) coming out of the tailpipe and then the engine. I coasted off the freeway and had very little power to make it up the offramp and to turn right on a very busy street in Ontario, CA, and then to pull off onto the first side street. So much for the response, "the noise is normal for the Ecoboost." I will hear on Monday what they say is exactly wrong.
