Went in for oil change. Dealership noted leaking oil from oil sending unit. Unit was installed incorrectly at factory. Dealership reinstalled sending unit and added thread sealant.

I discovered an oil leak on the garage floor and my son checked underneath the vehicle and it was coming out from the engine. I immediately called the dealer and they asked me to take it in for an evaluation. Since it is a new vehicle, only a month of usage, I requested a new vehicle and they said they cannot do that, they had to check to see if it could be repaired and proceeded to lend me another vehicle while mine was being repaired. This seems to be a defect caused at the manufacturers side and SHOULD BE REPLACED.
I do not trust that the vehicle after repaired will not have the same issue. I am totally frustrated because I am recently retired and wanted to give myself this new and last gift of a new vehicle and it turns out to be a lemon. I have always thought of the brand name FORD as a great company but from all the complaints I have been reading and my recent experience leaves me to think otherwise.. I could write more of my frustrations but I guess this is enough.
