Consumer Description
The first and last time I drove my vehicle with this issue was [XXX]. I was driving over the pass in WA state and all sides of me were semi's and other vehicles going over the pass. I had a warning message stating I had low oil pressure and to pull over asap. I came to a stop when I could and stopped the car and while I was waiting for the tow truck, I looked up possible issues on my phone and everything I found was very disturbing and accurate. I tried to get an appt. the same day this happened but none of the dealerships close to my hoe had any openings. In order to have AAA pay for the tow, I had to have it towed to a dealership or a certified mechanic on the AAA list. I was over 100 miles from home but I was able to get it towed to a certified mechanic that day. That day was the last time I drove my car. I've tried to get an appt. at a local Ford dealers but nobody returns my calls. They will have to have my car towed to their dealership because it does not run also. The mechanic that did the diagnostic the next day determined the engine had been affected by what he felt was the failure of the oil pump. I submitted a complaint when it happened and was notified of the recall that has since been issued. In my opinion, that recall is more geared to the cars that have not had engine failure yet. It really doesn't address the cars that the engine has already failed due to the oil pump failure. Because this problem is not specifically being addressed on the recall, they will use that as an excuse to not help me at all. Getting the parts they suggest in the recall won't help me with a dead motor. There has to be other alternatives listed in order for me to get help from Ford. They are in total denial as are the dealerships. I don't want to wait until Quarter 2 for the parts when that won't help me at all. I'm getting tired of the runaround and there should be better accountability by ford. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
