Driving down interstate and car indicator/ warning light came on low engine oil pressure. Car started running rough. Was able to get car to a repair shop by tow truck only to be told car needs entire engine replacement at only 71,000 miles. No warning of any issues that would require such an expensive fix at such a low mileage. Known flaw in these vehicles yet Ford isn’t being forced to recall and fix the issue that is clearly their fault not customers. Unacceptable! Should be mandatory recall to replace this garbage engine that conveniently needs replace 10,000 miles AFTER warranty runs out. Dangerous to have engine power issues at 55 mph!
