Consumer Description
I've already addressed what happened to my vehicle and a recall has since been issued in Dec 2023. The problem I have is the recall doesn't address the vehicles that have already failed due to the defective oil pump. Mine failed and totaled my engine leaving me without a vehicle on October 17, 2023. You even state in your description of the safety risk if this were to happen by saying it could damage your engine and possibly seize. It needs to be more prominent and highlite the fact that if this happens, your engine is gone, no more engine and no more car. It's more geared to the cars in the recall that haven't had it fail yet! Ford hopes to fix a part in those oil pumps and make it all better. But what about me!! At least everybody else still has a car to drive. I don't. It's gone and I'm still financing it. Ford has repeatedly told me they have no program for me. Nothing they can do. I still am part of that recall and they are breaking the law by not doing something. I need them to replace my car and pay me for everything I've had to incur due to this failure. They have no sense of urgency at all. It doesn't bother them one little bit that people are devastated when something like this happens because how do we get around. How do we get to work. Why can they get away with doing nothing for me and not held responsible. Recalls need to be split when they have vehicles damaged beyond repair for the exact issue the recalls address. They are more for just stating the safety issue if any instead of addressing what happened to each person and how they need to fix it or make it right for the consumer. I'm sick of this and I need to have them make this right.
