Consumer Description

My car had a loss of motive power and the engine light and oil light came on. Checked the oil level, it was good, the light remained on. It also ran rough, had it towed to Future Ford shop. The diagnosis has been confirmed by Future Ford repair shop in Fresno, CA. that the recall for the oil pump is what is wrong with it. They said the engine has to be replaced. This will be the second engine replacement. I HAVE A CASE # [XXX]. MY REASON FOR CONTACTING YOU IS I NEED A LOANER CAR UNTIL FORD REPAIRS IT IN THE 2nd QUARTER. I JUST STARTED A NEW JOB 3 DAYS AGO AND I NEED A CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD A RENTAL. PLEASE AUTHORIZE THE DEALER TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR!!!!! I AM DESPERATELY BEGGING YOU FOR HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
