2018 Ford Ecosport

I was on the way home from work when out of no where the engine light and a indicator saying low engine oil pressure came on I totally lost power driving on a highway and the car came to a stop. Mechanic told me it was the oil belt tensioner caused the engine failure and now i have to pay 4000 dollars on top of my monthly car and insurance company for a vehicle that just quite on me.

10/27/23 Driving and "Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning" came on. Pulled over as soon as I could. Husband loaded it up on a trailer the next morning to the Ford dealership. They called that afternoon to tell us that a NEW ENGINE is required!!!! It took until 11-24-23 and OVER $5,500 for a new engine to get my vehicle back! There is a 3 year warranty on the new engine, but no reassurance that this will not occur again. The vehicle had only 58,xxx miles on it.

11/19-While driving on interstate received "Low Engine Oil Pressure Warning" while trying to work through traffic to get off the interstate vehicle slowed from `65mph to `25mph would not accelerate and was almost rear ended and hit by other vehicles. Vehicle was towed to Ford dealer and was told that the Engine would need to be replaced. Research is showing a flaw in the Engine Oil pump design and many customers are reporting same issues. Repairs are estimated at $6,100 with No assurance from Parts Dept. at dealership that the replacement engine will have been updated and corrected this issue.

I bought my car brand new Ford ecosport. Car was running good until couple of weeks ago. My engine broke down in middle of high way 15 and 805 free way in California. Oil pressures which I tow the car to mechanic that night. The mechanic called me the next day and told me and said oil pump issues which led to break engine. I called and went to Ford dealer they won't work with me. My car is 74k miles which is they told is out warranty. My issue is the car has major mechanical issues. I didn't any warning signs before ford broke down. I would like to file complaint. So please let me know what I need to do . There is over 95 complaint with the same issue.

THIS HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A BURDEN WITH THIS CAR. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO FORD AND WAS FIXED MANY TIMES. IT IS AVAILABLE TO BE LOOKED AT ANYTIME. IT CAN'T BE DRIVEN, IT HAS BEEN PARKED IN MY DRIVE FOR MONTHS NOW. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY. THIS ENGINE FAILURE HAS CAUSED ME TO RELY ON OTHER PEOPLE FOR TRANSPORTATION TO WORK AND OTHER MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD TO BE TOWED MULTIPLE TIMES AND PUSHED TO A SAFE LOCATION DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILING AND CAUSING MY CAR FROM GOING TOP SPEED TO 20MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. NO WARNING LAMPS WERE GIVEN TO ME AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED AND TAKEN TO FORD MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE LOOKED AT AND INSPECTED. DOCUMENTATION CAN BE PROVIDED WITH ALL OF MY VEHICLES PROBLEMS FROM ALERTS ON THE APP, EMAILS, PAPERWORK FROM THE DEALERSHIP.. ETC. I DRIVE OVER AN HOUR TO AND FROM WORK, IT HAS BEEN SUCH AN INCONVENIENCE TO HAVE TO DRIVE MY HUSBAND'S CAR WHICH ISN'T THE MOST RELIABLE AND HAVING A VEHICLE I HAVE TO PAY ON BUT CANNOT DRIVE IS REALLY STRESSFUL AN POINTLESS SINCE IT'S JUST SITTING AND COLLECTING DUST WITH NO HELP. I HAVE REACHED OUT FOR HELP WITH THIS AND NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE HAS HELPED AT ALL. FORD HAS BRUSHED THIS ASIDE AND LEFT ME WITH THIS BURDEN. I ALSO FILED WITH THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE AND THEY COULDNT HELP ME.

The contact owns a 2018 Ford EcoSport. The contact stated while driving 65-70 MPH, the low oil pressure warning light illuminated, and the vehicle started losing motive power. The contact stated that she exited the freeway and veered to the side of the road, where the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an unknown dealer. The vehicle was then towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

Our 2018 Ford EcoSport with less then 50,000 miles had an engine failure while driving on the highway. This was due to the loss of oil pressure. We were out of the warranty by just a few weeks and Ford provided no help or support. We found out that this was a common problem with the engine on this style car but again there was zero support or help from Ford. The old pressure light came on while on a road trip with my wife. Once the light came on the car stopped accelerating so we pulled off the highway and took or car to the nearest Ford Dealership. They told us the engine was destroyed and needed to be replaced. Again we were offered zero support or answers from Ford and we had no choice but to pay over $7,000 to get a new engine in a year old car with less then 50,000 miles.
