Consumer Description

I was traveling on the highway around 60-65 miles per hour, then on my infotainment system I got a notification that said "Low Oil Pressure" the car then started slowing down. Even though I was not needing an oil change, I kept driving looking for a place to see if there was someplace open to let me know what is wrong. Then after getting off an exit I drove about another mile before the car just gave out, would not turn on or anything. After getting my car towed at the Ford Dealership they told me that I was going to need a new engine, they said they found metal shavings in my oil from the engine. The way my safety (and the other passengers) was put at risk is by the car immediately slowing down on the highway without any other warning. They replaced the engine but it is the same old one, it is available for inspection.
