In September of 2023, I experienced an oil pressure light. It was expaliend that the oil pump drive belt failed and I needed my engine replaced. Since then, I have reached out mulitple times to Ford with little recourse as to help with my problem. Now, recall # 23s64 / 23v905 has been issued concerning my problem. In my chat with Ford, they indicated the problem is my responsibility and would not acknowledge the recall and any help.
I was on my way to work on 8/25/2020 about a mile away the engine light comes on so I turn around to leave it home then my vehicle stalled all of the sudden with no warning other than the engine and oil lights caming on, I towed it to the dealership for adiagnosis same day and this morning of 8/26/2020 I received a call from the dealers shop and they are stating that the oil pump went out and ruined the battery and now I have to replace the battery on the vehicle, now im concerned because I did not get any warning from the engine, no smoke, no rattling or shaking and the weird thing is that it cranks but wont start, it just stalled and it turns out to be a blown engine.
The transmission has been skipping which caused a belt to break inside the engine and then the oil pump went out. Had an oil change around July 1st and nothing was wrong. Ford claims it was my fault because I was over 2,000 miles on an oil change.
