I am second owner. At just before 110,000 miles the motor expirenced shuddering, with misfires, from P0303. I was able to get it to a Ford Service Center. Diagnosis with a borescope reveled coolant into cylinders 2and 3. Almost 8,000 dollars later, a new motor. In my Opinion, the cost of the actual motor should be free, or at least less then 2,700. I do not think it's very fair for Ford to profit from their own defective design. Thanks.
