Consumer Description
No warning, "engine oil low" notice comes on dash during grocery run. Parked car at the house and didn't not drive it until appt was made at Ford Dealership. Drove the 1 mile away from home to the appt. 2 weeks later dealership tells me that the engine had zero oil in it, despite showing full oil on dipstick. They claim it was an oil pump failure & it's very common in 2018 and 2019 models. They also claim that Ford is unwilling to repair because I am outside the 60k powertrain, my mileage is 61,478. Car is is great shape other than this failure, regular oil changes, brand new battery, new tires.
