Consumer Description

Car was being driven on the interstate when the vehicle suddenly lost power, steering, and braking. My son was able to get the car over to the side of the road and stopped. After a few minutes he attempted to restart the car and received an display message that said Engine Service Now. We had the vehicle towed to a Ford Dealer where the problem was diagnosed as the Oil pump drive belt had failed which caused damage to the engine and turbo charger on the car. Failure occurred at 67,422 miles. Prior to the sudden loss of power there was no warning lights or indication that any thing was wrong with the car.
