Engine Oil/lubrication Sump/tank Problems of Ford Edge

Oil pan was replaced with dorman 264-793 engine oil pan which claims to be :product details top highlights upgraded repair - this lower engine oil pan is made of high-pressure diecast aluminum and is more resistant to cracks and leaks caused by heat, warping and impact than the original equipment plastic pan protects engine - included convenient magnetic drain plug helps prevent harmful metal debris from damaging the engine, with an angled mount boss that enables a complete drain direct replacement - designed to match the performance of the original equipment lower pan on specified Ford and Lincoln vehicles trustworthy quality - backed by a team of product experts in the united states and more than a century of automotive experience ensure fit - input your vehicle into the garage tool and check confirmed fit bar at the top of the page. If there is an “I” in a blue circle, additional verification is needed. Please hover over the "I" to verify fitment notes match your vehicle. After changing the pan I experienced that during acceleration such as on ramp, merging, or passing engine would suddenly lose all power, Fords warning chime would alert me and message on dashboard- low engine oil pressure - it takes the system a while to regain power again. This could have serious consequences if you were passing or trying to merge and the engine totally shuts down. Afterwards, I reviewed the dorman design and discovered that they didn't add a baffling to the oil sump pickup and only provided a. Slot in the pickup tube. The original pan has a baffle which keeps the oil flowing into the engine. This is a serious flaw which could cause injury not to mention destruction of the engine due to oil starvation. I have contacted dorman and they are requesting purchase information for a refund. More needs to be done before someone gets hurt.
