Consumer Description

Just got going over the light turned grren at a stoplight March 16, my car spit scattered and died at the side of the road. 1 week after getting the oil changed. The dealership has confirmed the issue as the pending recall for the oil pump tensioner belt. Unable to be driven till it's fixed. I see that it's not being released till 1st qtr 2025 maybe. I am unable to fix the car myself as the principle is ford's issue not mine. Plus I don't have the money to do that. The car is in great shape and sitting outside in hot and soon winter is going to bring the value of my car down. What else can be done?
