ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I got up to get to work on 11/11/23 and my check engine light came on. Then my engine oil light came on. I had just gotten my oil changed not even a full week prior to this. I was driving and my car started to make a knocking noise and started to decelerate while I was coming up a hill. I got it towed to a Ford dealer that confirmed my oil pump went bad and I would need to replace my engine. My car only had 73000 miles on it. I called ford and they said there was nothing they could do. The denied knowing anything about an investigation into the oil pumps on these cars and said they won’t help pay or discount the price. The only option they gave me was to write a letter to some ford department in Michigan and wait on them to write me back as that’s the only way they communicate. Even with me replacing my engine it’s still the same oil pump as the last one so it’s just a matter of time before this one goes out as well. 5600 for a new engine and only a 2 year warranty and no advice on how to prevent this from happening again. They said keep my receipt and keep hoping for a recall. Ford is a joke.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The low oil level indicator light went on while I was driving in my 2019 Ford EcoSport. I stopped at an auto parts store and had them add oil. The light did not go off when we tried to clear the sensor. I drove it home (about a mile) and it struggled to pick up speed and the engine started to knock. I did some research on the model and the government is currently looking into to this issue and there are several lawsuits. All have indicated they were just out of the warranty and the entire engine needed to be replaced. It is going to cost me thousands of dollars to fix this. I was told that there is not indication that there are any issues with the engine or fuel pump until it is too late. There is an open case with the NHTSA (SSM 48093) so this is a very well known issue and will continue to get worse with other EcoSport drivers as they near 60,000 miles. It is HORRIBLE business practice to do this to customers. I now have to pay thousands of dollars for a problem I did not know about it was too late. Ford needs to take responsibility for this.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I had my 2019 Ford Ecosport serviced to have a new battery and brakes installed on it by my local Ford dealership. Approximately 5 days after I picked it up from the dealership, I was on my way to work and driving down I-75 (going approximately 70 mph). I received a sudden notification on my dash that I had low oil engine pressure. I made my way over to the right lane, and started to slow down so I could pull over. I made it to about 30 MPH when my car turned off, my brakes locked, and my steering wheel locked. I had to push with excessive force on the brakes to completely stop the vehicle, and pull with excessive force to make it turn off to pull over. I checked the oil, and it was not low. So, I had it towed to the dealership. Here they told me that a belt had slipped in my engine and caused significant bearing damage. The base estimate that I was given for repairs was 9,000 dollars, and that if my car was manufactured less than a month sooner that these repairs may have been covered by Ford because it is a known issue with this make and model car. I was very concerned that I would not be able to stop my car safely on the highway and now I don't see how I can pay for the repairs.

I am submitting this complaint not out of personal gain but because something bad can and will happen. It almost happened to me had I not been fortunate to pull over on a majorly conjested highway. I was driving on the Atlantic City expressway when my engine seized and my display read an oil light failure I could no longer accelerate I knew I had to pull over immediately because jersey drivers are no joke and had I not someone going 65+ mph would have hit me head on. I no longer had the ability to accelerate so using whatever momentum I had left I used to propel me to the side of the road. I know there is an ongoing investigation in this matter so I can and will do anything to help expedite this.

Potential Consequences:
I was driving down the highway and when I got off at my exit my car was running very rough when idling. I was able to make it home however it was very shaky and a knocking was coming from my engine. I had my car towed to the local mechanic where upon inspection they saw that the oil pressure or warning light on the dashboard was on and asked me if I was aware of it. I was not. They did inform me that it is more than likely the oil pump that had failed. I just got the car back in April of 2023, I am currently having it towed to where I bought it, Daytona Nissan. I don't know what to really do from here. Thank you

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Just turned onto highway, going about 50 mph. Everything began to happen at once. Car stopped accelerating, I tried to press on gas and oil pressure light came on. Pulled to the side of the road. I had the car towed to a local Ford dealership. After keeping my car for about 2 months, they finally determined a belt in the oil pump broke and trashed my engine. Quoted a price of $11,000 to repair. After reading many other complaints on this model, it appears this is a significant issue that began occurring in the last 18 months or so. With the number of complaints, it seems this should be a recall issue. This could lead to a severe accident. In my case, I was turning left across a divided highway. Oncoming traffic was traveling at speeds up to 75 mph. Luckily, there was room behind a semi where I could pull off to the shoulder of the road.
