Consumer Description

In December of 2021 my vehicle started to feel like it was "trying to die" for lack of a better words. On December 18th I took it to Firestone in Tulsa, Ok to have it check and the mechanic at the time told me to take it directly to Bill Knight Ford in Tulsa, Ok where it was purchased. On the way there the vehicle completely shut down while on the highway with every warning light coming on. It was left in a parking lot that night and was towed to Bill Knight the following Monday. They said there was a manufacturing issue with the engine and that it was known to Ford and that a new engine would need to be put in the vehicle. Not sure if this truly qualifies but was told there is a lawsuit pending because so many people have encountered this problem.
