Consumer Description
I was driving on Hwy 146 at a high rate of speed and my engine died. I almost crashed with the car behind me. It was a very scary situation and I thank God no one was hurt. Traveling at that rate of speed it was a miracle. I got my car over to the side of the road and had it towed to the closest mechanic. My car just got paid off in Feb and only had 58,000 miles on it. I thought it would be something small. I received a ph call from the mechanic saying I need a new engine that the oil pump went out and threw stuff through the engine. I had it towed over to Mac Haik Ford in Pasadena for a second opinion and they said the same thing. I have read through this site and many many people have experienced the same problem. The dealership was well aware of the issue and so was Ford when I called them. Is it going to take someone to die to get this recalled. If anyone is interested in a class action feel free to call me [XXX]. There should not be this kind of problem with an issue that is so well know and Ford has not had to correct it.
