Doesnt seem to matter what subject you talk about, People dont care period:
Paint has pealed all along the Bottom of my truck and FORD Denied Warranty on Paint (They said it would have to be Rusted, Corrosive)
Its never seen snow, its peeling like a Orange down to Bare Metal.
When I Bought the Truck I was promised a Spare Key (Only got 1) Took me 3 Months and a Call to 1 of the Owner's to get my other Key.
Had $3,200 added onto the final Loan (my fault for not Reading it again afyer we settled on a price) as they added a 3rd party BS warranty plan that I ended up Googling and found out they had Thousands of BBB and Consumer Fraud Claims against them.
Got a Complete Refund from my Bank (they took it off the loan)
Lastly my APR was 3.9 on the Pre Aproval (through my Bank) and the Ford Dealer Raised it Somehow to 7.9%....I had to call my bank & ofcourse it was changed. After all this (as i already took delivery) A saleman came to my house with all the corrected paper work for me to sign.
Now today i hear a Funny sound (kind of as if a peice of Duck tape was stuck to my Front tire.. Tip... tip....tip...I put it in Neatral coasting and still heard it, reved it up & still heard it but it did change tempo... Not keeping the Beat of my Rolling Speed, but the Engine idle more a less.
Got home & checked all Obvious things.. Tires, brakes etc...Finally I checked Tranny Fluid, all good, Then the Oil~~~ the Dip stick was Stuck, Dry with Black resin . NONE.. zero... So Im 2,000 miles Short of The dealers sticker to have oil changed and theres No oil registering at all. Theres Obviosley some up in the motor somewhere, but not enough to even get the stick wet..Ontop of it I have No light coming on or anything...
Looks like at 1st Light I'll be outside tryin to figure this out. Ofcourse after sitting SOME Oil should register. I just cant undwrstand the dipstick being burned dry & stuck. Unbeleivable.

I bet you got a rebate for Ford finance, the intrest rate is always high no matter your credit score. Mine was at 7.9, when I bought on a holiday Monday, next morning refinanced at credit union for 1.9 saved me about $79 for 60 months.

how often do you check your oil? ford oil gauges either read pressure or none, not a true gauge. should check your oil every 500 to 1k miles. if you have 10 lbs. of oil pressure will read the same as you have 60 lbs. if it actually reads oil pressure your gauge would move when idle to running. sorry to hear about your problems, hope you get it fixed.

Barney Stinson's gif explains my reaction..
Seriously though, that truck must get un-freakin'-believable fuel mileage turning tiny Ford Mustang tires like that..It must also have some serious rear end traction/axle hop issues without the weight of a truck tire on each wheel.
