Ford's sold a lot of these engines and most probably will run perfectly fine for a long time. But that doesn't mean you don't do your due diligence in researching known or possible problems.

Same thing with the new Ram 8spd auto... wait until it's out for a year and see how it stands up to real-world abuse!
That's the same with everything, some turn out to be gold mines, others turn out to be trash pits.
