2021 Ford Ecosport

I was driving my Ecosport when suddenly we heard a ding and a warning came on stating “low engine oil pressure”. We pulled over immediately, was advised by our dealer to not drive it. Our vehicle was towed to a dealership as we were out of state and got a call two days after stating our engine needed to be replaced due to something with the oil. I was never given an exact reason what happened to the engine to cause needing a new one. This occurred at 66,000 (roughly) miles. We have an extended warranty however are fighting to have this issue covered.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford EcoSport. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle failed to accelerate above 65 MPH. The check engine warning light and wrench symbol warning were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the hose and gasket on the turbocharger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer but was not diagnosed because there was a hole in the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. While driving, the no oil pressure message was displayed. There was oil on the highway. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the failure was due to the engine and oil pressure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford EcoSport. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from underneath the vehicle like there was metal striking the under carriage. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the oil pump and turbo charger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and became aware of an open investigation: PE2301 (Oil Pump Failure). The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

On 7/18/2023, this vehicle was involved in a fatal crash. The vehicle stopped moving and would not proceed forward after stopping major roadway. A motorcycle struck the vehicle from behind and the two occupants were killed. The owner of the vehicle contacted the dealership where she bought it from on 7/1/2023, in which they did not locate the issue. The owner of the vehicle said that the issue has happened numerous times before the crash occurred.

I started my vehicle and got out to finish loading up my stuff and it slipped out of gear and flew down my mainly flat driveway backwards. My passenger door was open still and my car hit my husband's truck and peeled back the passenger door all the way to the fender. Since the incident , my car will randomly chime warning lights while driving (ex: road hill assist, service brake system, phone volume when my phone wasn't connected ). I took it to the dealership and they done tests, but the conclusion was not based on the truth because they stated I had an aftermarket product plugged in that never shut off but it does after an amount of time and its just a charger/fm transmitter because i cant connect to the car by bluetooth anymore... Luckily no one was behind it or got hurt, but honestly terrified to drive it because it's so unpredictable.

The contact owns a 2021 Ford Ecosport. The contact stated that the seat belt on the driver's side of the vehicle failed to extend as needed. The contact stated that the dealer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 6,000.

Got in the car to leave work and after driving for 5 minutes the car stalled and showed the oil and check engine light. Took the car to the dealer and was told code P0012 and P0014 were present with metal contamination in oil. This car has been maintained well at the dealer every step of the way since we purchased it. Dealer claims the entire engine needs to be replaced due to a failed oil pump causing bearing failure. This is at 75,000 Miles. Fords standard warranty is 36,000 miles, now I guess we all know why. There is no solution to this other than to RECALL these engines and fix what Ford knew they weren't ready to produce by rushing to put these cars together with faulty products. Seems like they are building cars to last every couple of years, a similar issue happened with our 2017 Escape.

According to the dealership, the axle seal tore and leaked transmission fluid. No lights, warnings or messages ever appeared in the days leading up to or following the incident. I noticed a mechanical whining sound about 24hrs prior to the incident (what the dealership later explained was transmission pump) however my car still drove normally otherwise. On my way to work, in a busy intersection with a steep hill, I heard a loud mechanical grinding sound when I tried to accelerate. After which, my card jerked backward and started to drive in reverse instead of forward despite being in drive. I was able to break before hitting oncoming cars. Luckily no one was injured by my moving in the wrong direction or suddenly stopping in an intersection. I was scared to drive my car and took it to the dealership the following Monday. They diagnosed the torn axle seal several days later. I have approximately 13,000 miles on this vehicle and have meticulously maintained it at the dealership of purchase.
