What owners wrote

I had an accident on november 30, 2016. I was hit head on on a city street and spun around. I tried to put my foot on the brakes because my car kept going but the airbag was in the way and I couldn't get to the brake. My car kept going and I was headed for an office building. I ran into the building because I couldn't get my foot on the brake due to the airbag in the way.

Reported at 30,000 miles, November 2017 CrashInjury

Purchased vehicle in nov of 2016. In feb of 2017 I received a message on dashboard that my oil pressure was low. After checking oil we discovered it was 3 quarts low. Though maybe it was not filled all the way by the dealer. On march 27th we brought the vehicle into the dealership because again the oil was 3 qts low. On march 28th the dealer called to say that they had a memo from ford stating something was wrong with the engine and that they would have to replace the entire engine!
