My car went more than 30 days ago for service due to a serious call Recall# 23s64-23v9085, where I have been patiently waiting due to the parts being unavailable due to the parts not being in, and I stayed stranded with my autistic child in the middle of the turnpike without any power whatsoever to the vehicle putting my life iand my family in danger, the car I towed to the dealer and the engine had to be changed as a result of the recall, however the dealer is now telling me they need to charge me for a throtle manifold part wihich works with the engine to make the car function. They want me to pay for the part that should be covered through the recall, because this is a vital part of the engine functionality. I am very disappointed with the Gus Machado ford dealer, because they have said that if I do the part, I will take the car home with a tow truck and my car will not accelerate. As a result, they are trying to charge me for something that is part of the engine functionality. I feel disrespected that they have had to change the engine due to this recall but will not complete the work, as again, this is a vital part of the engine functionality.

On Dec 20, 2024 at 1:51PM my vehicles check engine light turned on as I was driving an Uber rider to their destination. I was unable to accelerate my gas pedal to get on the freeway. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and saw my check engine light pop up on my dashboard. I checked my Ford App, stating check engine light is on due to low fuel system pressure, poor fuel quality/restricted fuel filter causing limited engine power until resolved. I immediately had my car towed in this case of emergency to the Frontier Ford Dealership to get this resolved. I was told after diagnostic I will be notified if under recall. I was emailed to pay out of pocket for the diagnostic repairs on 1/29/25. Then emailed by CARFAX about the new recall #23V905 that is overdue for my car on 2/14/25. I am currently paying for a car without a free rental and have been out of work for 3 months. I can't afford to pay out of pocket to Frontier Ford Dealership. I need to get back to work and I need my transportation.

My vehicle has 19,800 miles on it and is now facing 1100 in repairs for a fuel pressure sensor that has failed. The dealership, Lafayette Ford Lincoln of Lafayette, Indiana, claims this is a normal wear and tear item. Despite the fact that I have the Platinum extended coverage they say that it is normal for fuel system parts to fail with such little use. This is the third major item on this vehicle to need repair. I currently have a recall that the manufacturer has not contacted us for a solution and we had the thermostats go out at 15,000 miles. Nearly causing damage to the engine. When speaking to corporate service they say that these items are also wear and tear despite there being so little tear. In the platinum package brochure they make mention of "it being easier to say what is not covered" and do not exclude sensors or tubes in the brochure. After a quick Facebook search for issues with EcoSport's it seems that this has many reports from other owners. I tried to speak with corporate supervisor and was placed on hold where they then hung up on me. It seems that when I pointed out that this might be a car issue they became defensive. I believe this is a bigger issue for this vehicle and this engine. If my car fails at 19,000 miles what is to say other failures are not related.

My car stops more than six times from the moment that I leave my house even as I am on the road it will literally stop 5 to 6 times losing power in the middle of the street that could cause a potential situation or deathly this needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

I don't know who could help resolve the issue we have. Our 2019 Ford Eco-sport had several recalls. The last recall Holman/Ford kept our car for 9 months but kind enough to lend us a car to use while they waited for a part. We had to cancel our vacation trip to Turner Maine to see our daughter's family because we were not permitted to drive the loaner out of state! Later they decided that they had to give us a new engine and gave us the car back in November of 2024. After receiving our car back we noticed a gas smell each time we put the heater on. It was strong to the point of opening our windows for ventilation. My husband called several times leaving a message and no one called back. We left more messages saying why is the check engine light on all the time when it is a brand new engine? Finally they informed us that we need to pay for a diagnostic test that was well over $100 and we brought it to their attention that it has not been right since we got the car back so why should we have to pay for a dianostic test? We went to pepboys to get the diagnostic test that was cheaper and they informed us that Ford should have removed and replaced the canister purge solenoid when putting in a new engine. Without doing that, it could ruin the engine again as well as the canister purge solenoid. We did research to learn they should have replaced the canister purge solenoid as well. My husband called and left several messages and no one would return his call. Once again he called them today and a "Jim" called back from Holman Ford, Maple Shade [XXX] saying that the recall was on a new engine and they did not have to replace the canister purge solenoid. He told my husband it would be cheaper to go to PepBoys to replace the canister purge solenoid. Is this true that they did not have to replace the canister solenoid? We had several recalls on our 2019 Eco Sport. Isn't it considered under a lemon law? How do we get them to fix it properly with no charge?

Oil pump has failed due to recall. There is supposed to be an interim fix if your oil pump fails but Ford is telling me there is nothing they can do until Spring of next year. Oil Pressure Low light has came on so I stopped driving the vehicle. I do not want to cause further damage. My safety is at risk because I am expected to operate a vehicle with the Low Oil Pressure light on. This is not safe
