So I now see on my ford app they have changed my oil without my permission? And they say they can’t replicate the smoking? It’s ok I have the video in their parking lot

Well after almost a month, i got a whole new engine! and and... two new rear shocks! after i was called to come and pick it up i took it for a little test drive and noticed when i went over a bump or the speed humps in the parking lot that was a lound clunking noise, so i told them and a tech rode with me and heard the same thing, so it stayed and got two new rear shocks, drives fine now just gotta do a break in like it did when i first got it, 1000 miles, man it seems some of us got good expst and others didnt! hope they fix the issues in the 25s? its sucks ya pay all this money for a performance vehicle and the engine goes out mine failed at 25k! and the shocks leaked, ok well good luck to those who havent had any issues.
