Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford escape. While driving 20 MPH, an abnormal burning odor entered through the engine compartment and the oil warning indicator illuminated. The contact managed to pull the vehicle over into a parking lot. The contact and passenger exited the vehicle and observed smoke under the vehicle and oil leaking profusely from under the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted.
When I'm running in normal speed sometime the acceleration is not working just like lost compression, then it's coming back in few of seconds..
