Consumer Description
I have had gas in the oil 3 different times now. I had went over to lafontaine on [XXX] , and they said it was because I was 500 miles before an oil change. I knew that gas and oil didn’t mix so I fought for the car to stay at the dealership and the whole time I was being told I was crazy and not to waste the technicians time after the 2nd time of it being there. I then for the 3rd time went to Ford dealership located in Fenton, and at that time they could not indicate the cause, but told me they sold that car and there was various issues before it got traded in by someone else so just to beware. I am now dealing with my engine shaking and rattling making a really unpleasant sound(I have a video.) and without even pulling out the dipstick all the way I can heavily smell the gas. I had it confirmed by my mom and grampa who works on cars. I then did a buyback dispute and they denied it because it was not in the shop enough times but I could drive it til it dies and then have my warranty replace the motor. This is really bad and it is starting to sound like the engine is seizing out. I took it to Midas in flint and they were not comfortable touching it due to the gas in the oil because it’s basically a brand new car. I need this car to be bought back this is not safe at all and I’m afraid it is going to explode. Also it will not let me add the video of the engine so I will have to email it over INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
