Here's my Ford experience:

Note that the oil guzzling began only five or six thousands miles after first engine had been completely replaced at around 60,000 miles.
I am soooooooooooooo glad that the F&I guy talked me into buying their overpriced extended warranty for that heap....
I hear you there. What a mess that was. Sorry you had to go through that, FRiend.
What knocks me out is that, just when I was thinking that maybe Ford had turned a new leaf, my in-laws bought a new Taurus and that car behaved precisely in the manner you described. I guess that's the kind of quality you get when you let unions run the place.
