Consumer Description

Was driving out of town when the red check oil pressure light came on. Immediately checked oil level which was slightly high and called the nearest Ford Dealership and asked if I needed to get it towed or it would be fine to drive to them. They said it should be fine so I started driving towards them.I then noticed a significant decrease in power and as I turned left on to a busy road the engine ceased and died but was able to safely get it onto the side of the road. Towed it to the dealership and they said i most likely needed a new engine which was going to be $8000 but if I wanted them to check it would be an additional $2000 so I got it towed back to my house and ended up taking it to my mechanic who said that the oil pump gave out and took out the timing belt with it.
