The Achilles heal of this FWD 3.5L model is the internal H2O pump driven off the timing chain. After 100k always pay attention to coolant loss as this could be a sign of impending failure. Fortunately, my wife was just idling in a parking lot when vehicle overheated. Made a short drive home where coolant overflow tank was empty, but plenty of coolant in remainder of system. Noticeable fluid loss from weep hole behind alternator. Falling down around the oil pan. Empty oil pan, no coolant in oil- Thank God. Performed H2O pump replacement along with T-chain, chain guides, and tensioner. This is a $2500+ service @ the dealer. As they would drop the engine to perform this service. I completed for $550 in ALL New FORD parts. 1000 mi since no issues
