Consumer Description

ENGINE OIL PAN LEAKING DUE TO EXTREME CORROSION. DEALER SAYS THIS WILL ONLY BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS, AND WORKED AS A MECHANIC FOR SEVERAL YEARS,. I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN OIL PAN CORRODE LIKE THIS, BUT I'M TOLD IT'S FAIRLY COMMON WITH RECENT FORD ENGINES. I'VE OBTAINED ENGINES FOR ANTIQUE CARS THAT HAD BEEN SITTING DIRECTLY ON THE GROUND FOR YEARS, AND THE OIL PANS WERE NOT CORRODED THIS BADLY. I FEEL IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING.
