Back on February 27, 2024, my car was taken into the dealership due to a malfunction the oil pump gave out and dealership said that due to those issues "shavings were going into the transmission" which could cause further damage to the vehicle in increased risk of an accident. It is not going on to 5 months and nothing has been done I get calls that since it has been park for so long the vehicle is not getting more issues. At this point it has been one thing or another I had contacted Ford for assistance spoke to Orleis Smith back in May 16 due to lack of progress. Till this day nothing has been resolved the vehicle went in got check and only had the recall issues and now dude to its long stand still more issues have come up the original reason is once again put on the back burner.
