My newly purchased 2019 Ford eco-sport with under 40000 miles started having engine malfunctions, and would not accelerate at all. I had it towed to joey Meyers and was told they needed to replace the engine. I had it replaced in October 2023, Which took two months, and now I am Having the same exact engine light come on and my car is slow to accelerate even after replacing the engine. 4 weeks ago I brought the vehicle back to Joe Meyers ford and was told that “ this is a new issue and the parts that need to be replaced are technically “outside” of the engine so not covered under warranty “ the repair invoice total that was quoted to me is $2400. I refused to pay this because I don’t understand how the engine is replaced and three months later I have the same issue but ford is saying it’s now a new engine problem. Since then, I checked online to see if there have been any recalls on the vehicle and was shocked to see Jan 04,2024 Manufacturer Recall Number 23S64 NHTSA Recall Number 23V905.
