[QUOTE="dynasty_v6, post: 16413320, member: 58477"] Hey guys, I am mostly just looking for advice on dealing with Ford Customer Care with this issue. The battle with Ford is just beginning not sure if I'm going to win on this one, but it's worth a try. It is a 2014 Fiesta SFE with the turbo 3 cylinder. There is no recommendation in the owner's manual for a time interval on the belt change, just every 150,000 miles. Just hit 107,000 miles and the timing belt let go. The engine had an easy life; all highway miles and full synthetic oil changes every 10,000 miles. I suspect a manufacturing defect, there's no way the belt should have failed this early. This is a "wet belt" (runs through the oil), realistically it should have gone well into the 200,000-mile range before failure. The engine is toast with valves hitting pistons. Dealer wants $5,000 to replace the motor and the car is probably worth $5,500. [/QUOTE]
