Phillip Carter Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Last Wednesday we took our 2013 edge in because of a clanking noise coming from motor when warm. Dealer kept it and told us it was something on lower half of motor. Yesterday, 10/3/13, they call and tell me the no. 6 bearing spun. Warrany told them to replace just the short block. I'm kind of worried because this is a major job. Swapping over the heads and everything else that goes along with it. Has anyone had any problems like this with the 3.5L? And what are the chances something willl go wrong with this new motor? I understand its warrantied, but just a headache if I need to take it back in.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Haven't really heard of failures on the 3.5L such as yours, so I expect these are pretty rare. Yeah, the skills of the dealership's service department will be put to the test. The only reason to worry though would be if the cause of the failure was outside the short block. I would change oil regularly with mfr oil/filter at least for the next few K miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Carter Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Dealer finally called me today and said it was ready for pick up tomorrow. They said they went way over book hours and said they made sure every last bolt was torqued correctly for me. Lets hope they weren't covering up for any problems they may have run into. Just glad to be getting back tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Cool! Let us know how it goes. At least it seems easier to get an engine than a throttle body Edited October 19, 2013 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
