2015 Ford Fiesta Steering Problems

I was driving for couple hours then my oil light came on check engine light came on. Vehicle started to shake very badly. I had to pull over and see what happened. I started the vehicle up again and the oil light and check engine light are still on. I know that these vehicles have the wet belt system on the automatics. But they don't have one for the manual transmission. There should be a recall for these just like the automatics.

I HAVE A 2015 FIESTA THAT HAS 811 MILES ON IT. THE VIN # [XXX]. I BOUGHT FOR MY DAUGHTER AND SHE HAS HAD THREE ACCIDENTS. SHE HAS NOT DRIVEN THE LAST 1 YEARS, AS THE HIDE ORIGINAL MESSAGE POLICE SAID IT WAS HER FAULT, ALTHOUGH SHE SAID THAT THE CAR JUST MOVED FORWARD! AT THAT TIME WE DID NOT HAVE ANY IDEA THAT THE FIESTA HAD ANY PROBLEMS. SHE ALSO HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THIS WENT AGAINST HER RECORD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN MY GARAGE, AND HIRE SOMEONE ABOUT EVERY SIX MONTH TO COME AND SERVICE THIS CAR. MAY I ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER REFUNDING TO ME THE PRICE I PAID AND YOU CAN THEN HAVE THIS CAR BACK. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY CONSIDERATION. KIND REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
