Our engine seized due to a safety recall while traveling on a major interstate. We received notice of the safety recall from Ford and asked to have it fixed by our local dealership. This was August 20, 2025. We were told by the dealership’s service manager that there were 2 or 3 cars ahead of us and call back the first of September. We again asked to get scheduled and were told there were cars ahead of us. We once again asked about the recall and having it repaired on Oct. 21, 2025. We was told it couldn’t be scheduled at the time and it should be okay for us to go on our scheduled 8 hour trip. The car seized on Oct. 26, 2025 and we were 4 hours away from home. At that time, we had to have it towed to local dealership there and were stranded. The low oil light came on just minutes before it seized. We contacted the state police to be there with us as we waited for help and had to pay to stay overnight. Our car is still 4 hours away and is supposed to be fixed as soon as the engine comes in. This was a safety recall and we were advised to travel in a car which was not safe and Ford knew it. We do not have any paperwork except the safety recall as it has not been repaired.

I contacted the local Ford dealer, Confidence of Norman in Oklahoma, twice regarding correspondence from Ford about the ongoing recall. I had made appointments on both occasions. During my first visit, the dealership representative stated that they would only address the issue if my vehicle had an actual malfunction and would take no action in the meantime. Last week, I scheduled a follow-up appointment after receiving another letter from Ford. This appointment took place today; however, I was again refused service. The dealership claimed that, despite my scheduled appointment, they lacked the necessary tools to perform the repairs. They did not offer an alternative appointment or provide an estimated timeline for when the issue might be fixed. Ultimately, their response indicated that my visit was unproductive. Besides this complaint, I don’t know what else I can do to fix this problem.

My vehicle falls under a recall due to the oil tensioner belt. I experienced a problem where the engine wasn’t allowing me to accelerate over certain speeds. The car has been experiencing the same issue even after multiple attempts to fix the car. I had the engine replaced once & four days later the engine blew while I was traveling down a hill. I had no control over the vehicle and as it continued to glide down the hill, I anxiously turned on my hazards afraid of what I was about to face. The dealership determined that the engine had blown again & that they would rectify the situation yet again. I received notice that after yet another replacement engine, the car was test driven and is chattering. My car has been in the shop for over two months and after multiple attempts of trying to fix the recall, I would feel rather unsafe to drive the vehicle again.

I own a 2019 Ford EcoSport, VIN [XXX] , which is subject to recall 23S64 / 23V905 (Engine Oil Pump Belt and Tensioner Replacement - Final Repair). I was informed of this recall in June 2024, yet Ford has advised there is currently no available remedy. This is a serious safety concern. Under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, manufacturers must correct safety defects within a reasonable time and at no cost. Ford's failure to provide a repair, replacement, or refund is a violation of these obligations. I request NHTSA's urgent attention to compel Ford to resolve this recall promptly.

I have had the same issue with my Ecosport since 04/2022 and have taken it to the ford dealership and been in contact with ford corporate multiple times. In March 2023 I had to replace the engine because it finally completely froze up and was told it was do to the oil pump tensioner. This was the fifth time I had taken it in. The check engine light came back on as soon as I left the dealership, I was told it just needed to reset. It started having issues again in August 2023 and every time I took it in it has been dismissed. I have spent thousands of dollars on repairs for this SUV. Today the check engine light came back on and it smells like smoke if you try to drive it, along with it being very slow to pick up speed and making the same odd noise as before the motor locked up the last time. I contacted ford and made another appointment today to get it checked. I also contacted ford customer service and was told that there is nothing they can do that I will once again be responsible for the cost of all repairs because the recall is not completely in place. This vehicle is not fixable or safe to drive. Ford informed me that the vehicle is now to old for them to be responsible for the fact that the car is not fixable despite the fact that they have been trying to fix it and charging me thousands of dollars while I am still paying on it. And knowing it was unsafe
