Just got going over the light turned grren at a stoplight March 16, my car spit scattered and died at the side of the road. 1 week after getting the oil changed. The dealership has confirmed the issue as the pending recall for the oil pump tensioner belt. Unable to be driven till it's fixed. I see that it's not being released till 1st qtr 2025 maybe. I am unable to fix the car myself as the principle is ford's issue not mine. Plus I don't have the money to do that. The car is in great shape and sitting outside in hot and soon winter is going to bring the value of my car down. What else can be done?

Engine abruptly stopped on the freeway and then flashed low oil warning. Towed car to dealership, where it was said to have total engine failure due to oil pump failure. Safety of me and my fiance (passenger) were put at risk as car stopped on the freeway and we coasted to the shoulder, stopping on a busy freeway before tow truck arrived hours later. Car reported to be at 73695 miles by Ford. Repair was quoted for entire engine and all corresponding parts. Car has been sitting at the dealership awaiting repair for 6 months. Repair is now finally done. Oil pump recall was not applied to my car; I had been informed multiple times by corporate to wait for the next quarter and more parts, and dealership stated they cannot keep the car further and to go forward with the repair. Corporate also informed me I will not be given a refund on any of the parts in the repair. I was not provided another car during this time, where I have been unable to commute to work. Financial assistance was given to me and accounted for about half of repair price. Still, I am responsible for $3964 to replace engine and all corresponding parts.
