Ontario man who missed oil changes responsible for $19,000 engine replacement

An Ontario man who missed his oil change is now on the hook for a $19,000 engine replacement despite the vehicle being under warranty.

"While I was driving it on the highway the engine just died and it took a bit of skilled driving to pull over at an off ramp," Bowmanville man Moses Fosuo told CTV News Toronto.

The electrician bought the 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 Eco Diesel brand new and said it has been a great truck for his family, including two children and two dogs.

Fosuo said it was also comforting to know the truck came with a 100,000 kilometre warranty. 

"They informed me the engine was no longer working and I was looking at having to have the engine replaced," Fosuo said.
