Consumer Description

I was driving to Temecula and hot a notification on my dash that said ‘Engine Oil Pressure Low’. I was worried so I found an oil change place close by and pulled off the freeway, but then I noticed the car wasn’t accelerating, my foot was flat down on the accelerator and it was crawling along the road. SO I pulled over to the side and that was it, it wouldn’t go on again. All of the accessories still worked, but it absolutely wouldn’t turn on. It was towed to a local repair shop. I was told the engine had 'seized' and needed to be replaced. I've only done 42k miles and bought it 2nd hand 2 years ago. I've only done 10k miles since then, surely at 42k miles the engine shouldn't need to be replaced. Ford said their warranty only goes to 5 years so there's nothing they can do to help.
