I PURCHASE A NEW 2018 FORD ECOSPORT. ON 12/22/19 THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS AUXILIARY POWER INSIDE BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE EVEN AFTER RECEIVING A JUMP. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED. ON 12/23/19 I HAD A FORD DEALER CHECK THE VEHICLE. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, ON 1/3/20 (11 DAYS LATER) WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ONCE AGAIN THERE WAS AUXILIARY POWER BUT NO ENGINE RESPONSE. I HAD TO GET PUSHED OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER (I WAS OUT OF TOWN) THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY (EVENTHOUGH IT WAS REPLACED ONLY DAYS PRIOR) AND SUGGESTED I DISABLE THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE AND TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT FORD IS MISSING SOMETHING. AFTER READING OTHER SIMILAR ACCOUNTS I WAS COMPELLED TO REPORT MY EXPERIENCES. I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH MAY CAUSE BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH. PLEASE HELP US PREVENT A TRAGEDY

I WAS AT A LIGHT, I WENT TO GO AROUND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME & THE CAR KEPT REVVING LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO PICK UP. I HAD TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PICK UP IN THE CAR. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO DRIVE AGAIN. I AM GLAD A CAR WASN'T COMING BECAUSE IT WOULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

Started with the oil pressure engine light coming on and off always told it's a sensor then 2 days it wasn't putting any oil to one of the rocker arms and told by a dealership that it's going to cost me$7500 for a whole new engine when all they did was their diagnostic test.

7/9/2022

While driving my 2018 ecosport, i got a warning of "low oil pressure". I thought my car was losing oil so I stopped. Checking the oil noticed that had all the oil and there was no leak. Next day took it to Pep Boys, since it was Sunday July 3rd, and told me the diagnostic (PO365 camshaft pos sensor) Ford warranty is of 60,000 miles (i have just under 88,000 on my car). They advised me to take it to my local ford dealership to have a second opinion, since they don’t do that type of job. Ford dealer confirmed the same problem, and if so, I would need a new motor because they do not open this type of motor to fix it. I contacted ford customer service to bring the problem to their attention and they told me there was nothing they could do. upon further investigation I have found this is chronic problem with the 1.0 turbo ecoboost engines and found a class action lawsuit (from CSK&D-FORD ECOSPORT ECOBOOST DEFECT -CLASS ACTION INVESTIGATION) started against ford for this specific issue, and they still will not help me cover the costs. I cannot afford to replace the engine and still owe too much on the car to try to trade it in. it has caused a major hardship on my fiancé and I, trying to find a jobs since this car was my UBER only job, while prices of parts and gas are skyrocketing. I have only had this car for 3 years and under 88,000 miles and it is completely undrivable due to the faulty and carless engineering.Started driving home and noticed a significant decrease in power and the engine ceased and died. Had car towed home.

I was driving my vehicle and all of a sudden I got low engine fuel oil pressure message on my dashboard. The oil lamp and engine lamp sensors came on. This is the first time it happened. I also heard a rattling noise coming from the inside of the car. I had it checked by my mechanic and he said it could be the the High pressure fuel pump drive unit that needs to be replaced. I have not taken it to the manufacture to get it looked at. This happened to me when I was serving on the interstate with my mother and son and the car left us stranded on the road.

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!

THE ON/OFF ISN'T WORKING CORRECTLY. ONCE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AT A LIGHT AND YOU TAKE OFF THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND THE RPM STARTS RACING. WHEN I'M DRIVING UP AN INCLINE THE CAR STARTED JERKED SO HARD IT FELT LIKE I HIT A BRICK WALL. A WEEK AGO I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO GO THE CAR BARELY MOVED WHILE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT JERKED THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS, ALL THE OTHER CARS HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I COULD GET OUT THE WAY. I GOT THIS CAR ON 4/15/19 AND I'VE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I'M GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE WHAT IT'S DOING IS DANGEROUS. I HOPE FORD LOOKS INTO THIS, FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CAUSE IS AND FIX IT. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE GOING FROM A SITTING POSITION TO TAKING OF AND WHEN GOING ON ANY INCLINE. THE JERKING IS LOUD, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HIT SOMETHING AND THE JERK IS VERY HARD. THE CAR ALSO DOESN'T SHUT ON AND OFF AS IT SHOULD. THE CAR STILL JERKS EVEN WITH THE ON/OFF BUTTON TURNED OFF

I came on the on ramp of the interstate, gained speed up to 65 and began passing a slower vehicle, with another vehicle behind me passing them also. Suddenly my speed slowed, my oil light illuminated and digitally said LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. I barely made it into the breakdown lane as my vehicle lost all power and the steering wheel seemed to lose power steering also. I had no prior warning of this at all. My mechanic said the engine will have to be replaced due to a broken engine oil pump tensioner belt. There are bits of metal in the engine now so it is unusable. I cannot afford a new motor so the vehicle is sitting on my property currently, since I have 3 more years of payments to make. I have called Ford and was told my VIN number is not included in the current recalls for this issue, even though this is the exact same year and issue I have experienced. My 5 year warranty ended on July 30 2023, and this occurred on September 3 2023, 34 days out of warranty, with 57,365 miles on it. I did cite SSM48093 and SSM49726 which I read to Ford but they will do nothing to issue any sort of recall. I was stuck on the interstate for over 6 hours on a busy Labor Day weekend with the back end of my vehicle within a foot of the white line, every large vehicle coming by would shake the car. It was 94 degrees out, and the vehicle wouldn't run so there was no place to go to get out of the sun or get cooler, and no drink or food for that matter either. I'm so disappointed in Ford for not standing behind their product, now I have seen their are hundreds of people this has happened to also, without a recall.
