When I was driving on the freeway about an hour away from home, I got a light on my dash for "Low oil pressure." I immediately pulled off to the side and turned my car off. In the middle of a rainstorm and in the dark I checked under the hood and checked the oil level and it was normal. Remind you I got oil changes very frequently when recommended and at this time I got an oil change about 4 weeks before. I called a tow serve to have my car taken to my local mechanics shop. Immediately, the mechanic thought the worst and said it sounds like it might be an engine rebuild. He saw this issue before on other Ecosports as of recently with a degrading wet oil belt. That is what this issue was. The oil belt teeth were degrading and the arm holding the oil pump belt separated, causing loss of engine oil pressure. My engine was replaced after a week of being in the shop and it came with a very expensive mechanics bill.

recall Out of nowhere my car began to struggle to accelerate and ultimately in the middle of driving up a rather steep hill, my car cut off on me completely i almost collided with another car trying to get out of the middle of the road because the car was showing down significantly. the engine light and the oil light came on and a "low engine oil pressure" alert was coming on as well. this problem began three months before cutting off on me on the road and ford tried to tell me it was from not getting frequent oil changes and that was not correct my car was up to date. they quoted be me $10,000 for repairs and offered me $800 for my car based off of these problems when a trade in was suggested. i know they were trying to take advantage of me. i have no other vehicle i need this car to transport my child. when i check my service records on the app it conveniently states that the work done was unknown but i paid to have the problem diagnosed and for a rental which wasn't covered because i was only 300 miles over the warranty. i have spent countless dollars on rentals and ubers because my car is not drivable. i need my car fixed completely and reimbursement for money spent on rental cars and ubers for a problem ford had BEEN known about.
