  I need advice on how to handle a situation involving my 2018 Ford EcoSport. The car is currently in a repair shop due to a major engine issue. The manager of the repair shop has taken $1,100 from me without fixing the car, attempted to sell me one of his own cars, and did not provide a receipt for any repairs that were supposedly done. He only accepts cash payments and there are suspicions that he may be committing tax fraud. The car's engine is not covered under warranty by Ford because it has exceeded 60,000 miles. I purchased the car used at 36,000 miles and did not follow Ford's recommended oil change procedures, opting instead for services at Jiffy Lube and Havoline, which may have contributed to the engine problem. After noticing issues with the car's oil pressure and engine sounds, I sought help from various repair shops, but due to it being a Saturday afternoon, no one could assist me. A roadside service technician examined the car and allowed me to drive it home, but it broke down shortly after. The technician then towed the car to his shop and requested $2,100 for labor and parts to repair it, of which I paid $1,100 upfront. Ultimately, the mechanic informed me that the engine had suffered significant damage, rendering repairs impractical. As a result, I was forced to buy another vehicle, leading to financial strain with multiple payments now due. I am unsure of whom to hold accountable in this situation – Ford Motor Company for a potentially faulty engine, the oil change establishments for potential negligence, or the mechanic for possible exploitation. What steps should I take to address this predicament?
