Consumer Description

I was driving on a highway in Florida and the engine oil pressure light came on with no warning. In the past if there was low oil, I would receive an alert on the vehicle and on my phone. This warning provided no notice and abruptly lowered the speed of my vehicle. I was not able to drive faster than 40 MPH, and that speed dropped again to about 20 MPH as I was finding a safe location to stop. Adding oil did not remedy this issue. I had to get my vehicle towed to a Ford location where I was told they would only give me the value of $4K for my vehicle trade in. I was stranded in a city I was not familiar with and had no alternative means of lodging or transportation. This was a known recall and Ford took advantage of my situation. I feel like I was baited and switched for a known recall.
