Ecoboost question
Can anyone tell me what years the original ecoboost had the condensation issue? Or in other words, what year did they fix the problem?

By the late spring of 2012 they had added a shield to the intercooler to reduce the condensation issue. In 2013 I believe they had modified the intercooler however I see in the article from the NHTSA apparently it was not 'fixed fixed' until 2014. I ordered a very late build (July) of the 2012 and have not had any issues. I drive in Oregon and it gets damp on occasion, but not like the high humidity of the gulf coast.
Of those who own / operate the 3.5 on this forum some folks had the problem earlier on and I believe all of them reported they were fixed by the dealer.
Good luck,

As I just posted, it was a spark plug issue. None of the Ford shield solutions or reprogramming did any good. I replaced my intercooler at 30K with a Wagner Performance inter-cooler and had the problem after that because my plugs were over gapped and starting to fail.
