Consumer Description

I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING OIL SLOWLY BUT FAIRLY CONSTANTLY, I THEN PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE OIL PAN GASKET WAS DEFECTIVE AND THAT HE SUGGEST THAT I TALK TO FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE HE SAID THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES ON IT. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION AND HE SAID THE SAME THING. ATTEMPTS TO SPEAK TO FORD ABOUT THE PROBLEM HAVE ONLY RESULTED IN YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND WE WILL NOT COVER THIS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART AND I ALSO SAW THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE THAT THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE OTHER COMPLAINT THAT SEEMED TO FIT THIS DESCRIPTION. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO OFFER.
