Consumer Description

I was traveling down highway 64 in Raleigh, NC at about 75 or 80 miles per hour, and the "low oil pressure" sign came on and suddenly I had zero acceleration. As cars were all around me travelling at high speeds, I had to get off the road. Suddenly losing acceleration at high speeds on a highway is unsafe for obvious reasons. It took a lot of skill to get over lanes of traffic and get off the highway to the emergency lane. I was almost hit by several cars. Ford has my car right now and tell me the engine must be replaced. As I have an extended warranty on the vehicle, I am hoping it will be covered. No warning was given prior to this occurrence on the highway. My car was driving normally until it stalled on the highway.
