Expedition V8
In the middle of nowhere, Virginia, my wife got an oil light warning, so she pulled over, found a gas station and checked the oil. It was low, so she added 4 quarts, saw it was back above the line, and continued the trip. 15 minutes later, the light was back on, and before she could get stopped, the car just shut off and wouldn't turn over. The engine had seized, due to a defect in one of the cylinder heads (based on what the shop told us) that caused the oil to shoot out through a tiny hole in the head. We were beyond the powertrain warranty, so we had to pay for this ourselves. I've never been a Ford fan to begin with due to some of the stupid things they do in the engine compartment to prevent you from doing your own work, but this takes the cake. It'll be the last Ford we ever own.
