Consumer Description

CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND THEN IT STOPPED ACCELERATING, WOULDN'T CHANGE GEARS OR GO OVER 20MPH. WE BROUGHT IT TO OUR LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. WE THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER (KOONS IN FALLS CHURCH, VA) THEY SAID THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN AFFECTED. THEY GAVE US AN ESTIMATE OF $11,000 TO REPAIR (NEEDS A NEW ENGINE). THE CAR ONLY HAS 89,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN PERFECTLY MAINTAINED. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT A CAR THIS YOUNG THAT HAS BEEN PROPERTY MAINTAINED HAS SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
