Was leaving work and suddenly the oil pressure light came on and the engine started making a terrible noise. I pulled over and had the car towed to the Ford dealership. The dealership inspected it and said that the oil pump belt "shredded" and the sudden loss of oil pressure, along with the debris from the oil pump belt, completely ruined both the motor and the turbo requiring full replacement of both at a cost of $6500. Car was purchased new less than 2 1/2 years before but Ford will not pay for the repairs.

My husband was driving home from work when he heard a boom. He had thought he hit something but didn-??t feel or see anything. A few minutes later he saw smoke coming from the engine and thought maybe a hose had come off or something so he pulled into a parking lot. When he lifted the hood the car was on fire.

Driving on the interstate the low oil pressure light came on no check engine lights or anything. The oil pump is belt driven aka wet belt and the rubber teeth come off stopping up the oil pump and causing it not to work properly. With the rubber pieces going into the motor the rubber melts causing issues with the pistons and engine block. The Ford dealership recommends not replacing just the oil pump because of all the other issues the rubber belt causes because it melts inside the engine. So I am left with no choice but to replace the engine at a cost of $5,000. Why there hasn't been a recall is questionable. I am in the process of getting said motor replaced but does that mean every 2 years it will have same issues ?
