See attached document for complaint. Unfortunately, I purchased the referenced car from Tasca Ford in Yonkers. The problems about the engine losing oil pressure, lights flashing, and the engine going dead are well known. The car's engine is dead and the car has been sitting in my garage for more than one year. I was told by Ford back in 2024 that the problem would be fixed. Then I was told in about June, 2024 that "engine parts" were needed to fix the problem and that the parts should be received within two months. Now, 15-months have gone by and I never heard another word from Ford. My car is still in the garage. When will Tasca Ford fix the problem? This entity is not only a dealer of Ford automobiles, it is also a huge repair shop.
