Hello, Christmas Day my daughter, grandson, and I went to the movies to see Sonic. Afterwards we were waiting at the red light and when the light turned green I pressed the gas.

I was able to put the car in reverse and move back enough to move to the side of the road. This had me scared.

I have a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. I bought my vehicle at 19,000 miles. At 34,000 Ford repaired my oil pan because it was leaking. My oil pan is now leaking again and it is at 98,000 miles. There is a recall for leaking oil pans for my year and engine type (2.7 ecoboost) my vehicle is not currently on the recall list however I feel it should be because it is abnormal to replace oil pans and gaskets this often. I've seen where Ford is now putting in metal oil pans to replace the plastic ones that have issues. My vehicle has this issue. What do I do to get it added to the recall list? My car is currently at Grimm's Automotive and I do not have a copy of the diagnostic but I can get it and submit it once I have it.
