2018 Ford Ecosport Complaint Log

I purchased this car new from the dealer with 4 miles on the speedometer. We did all oil changes when the car indicated that it was time for an oil change. Now at 64,000 miles the engine has to be replaced due to a failure of the engine oil pump tension bar. New cars should not blow an engine after 2.5 years of use

The contact owns a 2018 Ford Ecosport. Upon taking the vehicle to an independent mechanic to have the tires replaced, the vehicle shut off without warning while being test-driven. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with a broken oil belt which resulted in engine failure. The independent mechanic had given the contact a copy of a manufacture notice which he related to the failure. The notice stated that she was entitled to a free engine repair due to the broken oil belt failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the notice; however, the contact was informed that the notice would not be honored. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

Purchased 4 new tires for my car only to be told that the lug nuts were all swollen and had to be replaced. from what I have read this is an ongoing problem with Ford and I don't feel it should be MY responsibility to pay for their mistakes. It also could have been a major problem had they broke loose while I was driving. This is unacceptable!

My 2018 Ford Ecosport odometer goes black when it’s parked in the sun while I’m driving I can’t see my dashboard when it’s cool it’ll turn back on sometimes when it’s not under the sun

In December of 2021 my vehicle started to feel like it was "trying to die" for lack of a better words. On December 18th I took it to Firestone in Tulsa, Ok to have it check and the mechanic at the time told me to take it directly to Bill Knight Ford in Tulsa, Ok where it was purchased. On the way there the vehicle completely shut down while on the highway with every warning light coming on. It was left in a parking lot that night and was towed to Bill Knight the following Monday. They said there was a manufacturing issue with the engine and that it was known to Ford and that a new engine would need to be put in the vehicle. Not sure if this truly qualifies but was told there is a lawsuit pending because so many people have encountered this problem.

The motor blew after only driv9ng the car a little over 30k miles. Routine oil changes at the dealership has been made. Ford has offered to pay 2k of the cost of the new engine. They are accepting responsibility partially but due to research this engine has failed. The current milage is 60,013. 13 miles over the warranty and Ford will not cover a vehicle the produced that won't make it 60k miles with out a engine failure.

Driving back to North Carolina from Oklahoma my cars Low Oil Pressure light came on and dinged continuously. I was in the middle of Tennessee when this happened. The car lost all acceleration. I took it to a dealer the next morning and was told there is metal shavings in my oil. My oil level was fine. They removed the oil pan and found that pieces of my timing belt were in the oil. I was also told I needed a new engine and long block. My car has 64k miles on it. Talked to my dealer back here in NC and was told that Ford has issued a Special Service Message concerning the engine in my car with the dates qualifying. The message number is 49918. Stating that the engine can fail and you will get a low oil pressure light and lose acceleration. I call the Ford Motor Company and they said this was not a recall but for the dealers to do what they think is best for the customer and vehicle. I talked to Ford and they are willing to provide some assistance but not 100% because it is not a recall. My dealer also had an EcoSport in his service dept when he called me with the same issue.

There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. Two days prior to the failure, the vehicle had received a routine oil change and maintenance service at the dealer. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The wrench symbol was displayed. The Ford pass indicated there was a power train failure. The oil was changed prior to the failure. The local dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle. No assistance was provided. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Action Number: PE23015 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 41, 000.

Vehicle has had numerous electrical issues including loosing power while the vehicle is in motion and at stop lights without any warning. The car shuts off and sometimes can be restarted after it is placed in park and restarted. On other occasions, the vehicle looses all power and must be towed. Per the ford dealership, electrical wiring becomes loose. Additionally, while the vehicle is running strange sensors come on and then go off such as "hill assist not available" or "traction control" deactivated but then turns itself back on. Also, the doors randomly lock and unlock on their own without touching the fob or door lock. The security system turns itself on after I enter a building. I have contacted and brought this vehicle into the ford certified dealership where I purchased from. My concerns have been brushed to the side by the local office as well as ford corporate.

My engine had blown under warranty. They had replaced the engine, which took two weeks once I got my car back, about a week or two later, check engine, lights and warnings pops back on. I return to Ford to assess the problem and they reassured me that the warnings were just because they replaced the engine and they should disappear shortly. Two weeks have gone by and the warnings were still there and my car had started driving awkwardly again. I returned to forward to get my car, repaired under warranty and receive a loaner vehicle to remain doing my every day job with. They did not have any loaner cars and did not have availability to work on my vehicle for three months. They called me with availability. My warranty was up and they were unable to fix my engine since I have lost the house I was living in. Became homeless. And now I’ve got myself back in a house and working to get my car repaired. This is caused a lot of damage for me and my family as we have still been unable to get the car repaired and it has been almost 4 years since I took my car into ford for the repair. Now that it is recalled, they still do not have a solution, and they will not allow me to return the car to them for a loaner car until they do fix the vehicle.

Engine replaced once, not even 1,000 of driving it the oil is leaking

I was reading through some of the complaints for this vehicle and it is crazy to me because the same thing happened to me with my ford. Back in the beginning of July 2021 I was driving to work and my car suddenly just gave out it did not give no warning signs whatsoever. I had to quickly pull to the side and waited a bit and it just would not even turn on at all. I’ve always kept up with taking my car to get oil changes, new tires and make sure it was good. I had to call a tow truck to tow me home. I called ford and had to get it towed into the shop. After 2 weeks they finally looked at it and said it was the engine. They were going to contact extended warranty to see if they could cover it. They said they would only cover it but needed proof it had oil changes done which we took to them. They approved it finally and the dealership said it was because there was metal shavings in the engine which made no sense. They never gave us a loaner car and still took 3 months to get our car back. Paid $800+ to get it back. Not even a week later had to take it back because a code started showing up and again was at the dealership for a month paid another $300+. It’s to the point that now it won’t turn on at times. I tried contacting customer service but they are no help. This car needs to be investigated.

While driving from Texas to Florida engine warning lights came on. We pulled over and the car died. Had it towed to Ford dealership and was told the oil pump tensioner broke and engine needed to be replaced for $5000.

Related to Safety Recall Notice 23S64/NHTSA Recall 23V905 On May 2, 2021, I was driving in cruise control and noticed that the car was struggling to maintain speed. After maybe 10 minutes or so of driving the car a warning light came on that I did not recognize. I pulled over and researched online to see what it could indicate. It said it was for oil pressure. I was maybe 20 miles from a town on a Sunday afternoon, so I drove it to the next town. Sometimes the warning light would flash and sometimes it would stay off for a time. In the town I bought a quart of oil, thinking that maybe the oil was low. It then started fine and drove normally for about 15 miles (I was about 15 miles from home by then) and then the oil pressure light came back on. I was able to drive the car home. When I turned the car on in the morning, the oil pressure light came on immediately, so I had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The repair report shows "Engine oil pump drive belt tensioner defective." There was damage to the engine, so they had to replace the engine, which cost me $6101.61 minus the cost of a rental car while the vehicle was being repaired. I received the safety recall notice in the mail today.

Driving home from vacation when suddenly lost engine power and service engine light came on. Made it to shoulder and had car towed to dealer. After months waiting for warranty repair, was told that the oil pump pulley tensioner failed damaging oil pump. Was told due to low engine numbers from pandemic that Ford had them completely tear down the engine to make sure there was or was not damage and decide if they would replace it due to metal making it into oil pan from the damage. Ended up being ok they said so they replaces the oil pump, belt and assembly and the turbo charger. Did not think anything of it until I saw the article about investigation being opened for this exact reason.

Was driving out of town when the red check oil pressure light came on. Immediately checked oil level which was slightly high and called the nearest Ford Dealership and asked if I needed to get it towed or it would be fine to drive to them. They said it should be fine so I started driving towards them.I then noticed a significant decrease in power and as I turned left on to a busy road the engine ceased and died but was able to safely get it onto the side of the road. Towed it to the dealership and they said i most likely needed a new engine which was going to be $8000 but if I wanted them to check it would be an additional $2000 so I got it towed back to my house and ended up taking it to my mechanic who said that the oil pump gave out and took out the timing belt with it.

I AM TRYING TO ADD INFORMATION TO COMPLAINT #11175903. WHEN I MADE THE COMPLAINT THERE WERE NO INJURIES SINCE THEN THE OTHER DRIVER PARTY WENT TO THE HOSPITAL UNKNOWN ON INJURIES CAN I ADD THIS TO MY COMPLAINT

1. The window intermittently and without warning will freeze, or decided not to go up or down. I'm assuming it's electrical, but do not know for sure. 2. I live in a city where I need to be able to have an operating window. It's not safe to have a window stuck open, as there are carjackings, robberies and various other safety hazards. 3. I first happened in 2018 or 2019 and I drove it to the closest dealership which is about 8 miles (city) from where I live. When I arrived to show the service person, it decided to start working again, so they didn't do an intake and sent me on my way. This happened 2 more times, where I started to make my way to have it looked at and it began working again. I've given up and do not have unlimited finances to have every glitch with this vehicle diagnosed. They charge just to look at it. 4. I don't know 5. There is no warning at all, or pattern to triggers. It happens anywhere between 12 and 24 times a year.
