Curious, has anybody replaced the fluid anytime, because if the fluid is contaminated (with what?) then it appears the cause of this failure is due to them putting in contaminated oil as that's the only way it can happen unless the car went under water and water entered through the breather, there is no other way for the oil to become contaminated? You cant blame Ford if a dealer or other mechanic replaced the oil with something that was contaminated?

Either way it has not been a good experience for your uncle.
