Complaint Summary
ENGINE
Owner Narrative
Low pressure oil light came on and I stopped driving it 18 miles later drove about 25-30 mph hoping it wouldnât seize on me before I got home. because I figure the oil pump is clogged with timing belt fragments and I canât afford to replace the timing belt right now. Afraid to drive it because I have read it could seize up the engine. 1.0 eco boost manual transmission. Car ran great and I had no issues with it until the low pressure oil light came on. Been sitting since March. I have started it 4 times since then and it has been moved around the yard but never ran longer than a few minutes. Still starts just afraid with the low pressure oil light on that it could seize up if I drive it again.
