2019 Ford Ecosport Owner Complaints

WEIRD BURN MARKS HAVE APPEARED ON THE TOP OF MY MUFFLER. I BOUGHT THE CAR ON MARCH 15TH, 2019. I FIRST NOTICED IT ON APRIL 21ST, 2019 (SEE CAR DOC 2 PHOTO). I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT ON MAY 8TH, WHEN IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS JUST A COSMETIC PROBLEM. IT WAS REPLACED ON MAY 15TH. TODAY, MAY 24TH, 2019, I LOOKED AT IT AND SAW THE SAME PROBLEM STARTING AGAIN (SEE CAR DOC 3 PHOTO). A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY SAW ANOTHER ECOSPORT WITH THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NO ONE CAN IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I'M GROWING CONCERNED AS IT LOOKS TO BE A BURN, OR SOME KIND OF REACTION WITH MATERIALS. IT LOOKS AS IF SOMETHING IS DRIPPING ONTO THE MUFFLER FROM ABOVE, AND THAT IT'S NOT THE MUFFLER ITSELF WITH THE ISSUE. I ALSO ATTACHED MY SERVICE INVOICE FROM WHEN IT WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ecosport. The contact stated when he started the vehicle the "low oil pressure" light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to a dealer who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine needed to be replaced due to a failure of the oil pump. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and became aware that there were numerous complaints on the NHTSA website about the "low oil pressure" failure and subsequent engine damage. The failure mileage was approximately 91,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ecosport. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was jerking with the "Reduce Engine Power" message and wrench warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the thermostat housing and engine block thermostat needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS RESULTING IN THE CAR JUMPING FORWARD. SOMETIMES IT ONLY STUMBLES AND IS BARELY NOTICEABLE. OTHER TIMES IT JUMPS FORWARD SEVERAL FEET. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND WE DROVE ANOTHER BRAND NEW CAR THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THEIR MECHANIC SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THIS MAKES TURNING AROUND IN A PARKING LOT OR SMALL SPACE VERY DANGEROUS.

I have tried multiple times to reach Ford Corporate since 6-6-22. They say they called me and there was not voicemail option so they closed my case. I keep opening case numbers with them. On Jun2 2nd, my car was parked, idling in the driveway on an incline. I opened the driver's side door and pushed the off button, the car then started to roll backwards. The door hit me and the car dragged me down the driveway into the street. The car then continued to roll into a neighbor's yard and hit the front of their house. It took out a support beam, the porch, the front brick wall and a window. I opened a claim with my insurance, called the cops. The police did not issue me a ticket since I was not driving the car when the incident happened. I had to go to the ER for multiple injuries where the front tire ran over my leg, a cut head and multiple burns from being dragged on pavement. The neighbors house- luckily no one was hurt, had to have the entire outer wall replaced, brick work, and porch. I am still healing from the accident, I have a major hematoma on my right leg that has caused severe tissue damage. I believe the car did not hold in park and rolled. The car will remain in the body shop for repairs until end of June.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE OCTOBER 2019 AND ASKED PREOWNED DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY I PURCHASED ABOUT THE ISSUE I HAVE: MY VEHICLE HAS DELAYED ACCELERATION AND JERKS ITS WAY THROUGH GEARS WHEN I AM MOVING AT STOP LIGHT OR BACKING UP FROM PARKING SPACE. ALSO STEERING GEAR SHAKES AND ASKED THEM IF IT WAS AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE BUT THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.

I am a new owner within the first year of purchase from Enterprise Car Sales. In the last two -three months when I am driving I smell gasoline inside the car which eventually go's away after 10 -15 minutes. I notice these events when my SUV runs over a pot hole, when accelerating downhill on the freeway and when driving for a extended time with my remote control for speed on. My SUV is available for inspection. Although, nothing has occurred I believe this issue is a safety concern to myself and the public if it is verified to be some sort of gasoline leak. I have recently reported engine and heating/air conditioning concerns to my service dealership within the last 3 months. They have been unable to inspect my SUV due to excessive back-up in service scheduling appointments. There have been no prior symptoms.

While driving on the freeway going roughly 68mph, a maintenance notice came on my dash stating “Engine oil pressure low”. Prior to this, the car ran fine and there were no lights on the dash. Soon after the oil light came on (despite the oil being changed less than a month prior), followed by the maintenance light. At this point the car began to stop accelerating, causing my speed to drop to between 48mph and the low 50s in the fast lane, and cars were having to swerve around my vehicle. It began to shudder and the check engine light turned on. I unfortunately was not in a safe place to pull over, and had to maneuver across the freeway at night going roughly 48mph still an hour away from home. When I looked up what this maintenance light was caused by, my search resulted in a faulty engine oil pump that may cause engine failure. Please understand, I have only had this car for 8 months and it has LESS than 60K miles on it. The car had been well maintained and had a recent oil change as standard.

I WAS A STOP LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT LET ME RESTART IT. AFTER AWHILE AND A FEW WARNING SYSTEMS THE VEHICLE FINALLY TURNED OVER. AFTER THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN A DIAGNOSTICS WHICH I WAS UNABLE TO SEE. AS I BEGIN TO DRIVE AGAIN THE VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL CUTS OFF AND CAUSES ME TO TEMPORARILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS I'M REGAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE THE TRACTION CONTROL TAKES OVER AGAIN AND HELPS ME OUT. I'M NOT SURE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE STILL WAITING FOR THE DEALER TO GET BACK TO ME. BUT WHATEVER IT WAS IT WASN'T SAFE AND PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SPOT DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC

Since I leased this car, I’ve had three transmission replacements, a full wiring harness replacement, numerous electrical issues with the display, and now can’t drive it due to engine low oil pressure. This car is nothing but a nightmare.

WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR IT IS TURNING IN DIRECTIONS WHEN I AM NOT MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, THE BRAKES ARE FAILING SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO USE THEM, AS WELL AS THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED WHEN I AM NOT USING THEM, THE DIGITAL DISPLAYS AND RADIO SETTINGS ARE CHANGING WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING, THE CAR IS REDUCING SPEED AND SPEED ACCELERATING WHEN I AM NOT CONTROLLING THEM FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, SO I WILL INPUT TODAYS DATE ON THE FORM. WHEN I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND PA STATE INSPECTION ALL COMPONENTS AND PARTS ARE FUNCTIONING ACCORDINGLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEING INDICATED. I AM LOOKING TO HAVE THE HACKING ISSUE INVESTIGATED. I AM ALSO SENDING INFORMATION TO THE FBI INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER.

I took my car into the ford dealership in Temecula. California and I wanted the seat repaired to warranty specific help. Right after I purchased the car I was in really bad traffic on the Temecula freeway and I leaned back and the seat made a popping sound. I’m now being told by ford Temecula Gosch dealership service dept that they will not fix the seat because it’s not a defective seat and they will not let me speak to anyone in the warranty dept. I’m hoping you can help me get this seat fixed as it slides when I turn my car to the right or left and now I’m having pain in my right leg and back. I’ve taken my car in several times for help and they just play games.

The check engine light came on with (what Ford Service stated) and emissions error. Then three days later the check engine light came on along with the low oil pressure warning. The car was not accelerating and had stopped completely when driving on Saturday (the day the all the light come on). Did not drive the car until it my appointment with Ford Service on the following Weds. The service tech stated that the teeth if the oil pump were shredded and that I had metal shaving in the engine. The oil pressure was at 3PSI. That was only three days after the car was seen at the shop.

It gave me an engine code saying there was a connection issue but the car was drivable and that i needed to schedule service. No code saying your engine is failing. It was the holidays. Dealers were closing so i figured I'd call and schedule it for service. Never got the chance as it seized up on the interstate at 60mph. Thankfully i was able to safely get it to the emergency lane and then towed to the dealer. They are now saying i need a new engine due to oil pump failure and are refusing to cover the cost. I feel like this is due to there malfunction and they should be responsible.

We purchased the car new in July 2020. ON May 28 2022. My daughter did not see a stop sign. She broadsided an on coming pickup. The "cross lane alert" did not sound .. The pre collision braking system did not activate. lucky no one was serious injured. Both vehicles are "totaled" Ford did have a recall on 25,000 vehicles over "pre-Collision breaking" not working in 2020. My vehicle was not one of them.

Door latch for rear tailgate. While traveling the warning light would come on and tell me the tailgate was open. Each time this happened I’d pull over to find the tailgate was not shut tight for no reason. This happened about 4 times. Recently The rear latch was stuck so I couldn’t close the door This happened 2 times.The second time I had to tie a rope to keep it closed. My mechanic told me that the latch mechanism needs to be replaced. The eco sport goes in for repair 3/8. I do not have repair documentation as of this complaint.

It began with having issues with power window sometimes not going up or down, then I started to have problems with the compass on the car always pointing north, then the car lost access to bluetooth and the sync 3 system refused to update. From there the issue with the radio not coming on started and was advised to do master reset, soft reset, then hard reset. Did this multiple times and now the display no longer comes on at all. I have lost the ability of my rear camera, cannot use USB ports and 12v. I have no access to radio, bluetooth, carplay of any kind, went to the dealer about it and they said the APIM module is bad and it will cost around $4,000 to replace. That is ridiculous. This car has been nothing but trouble since about 2 weeks after the warranty expired. I cannot afford to get the thing repaired and am too underwater on the loan to trade it in for a new car. I will never buy a ford again and I've been buying cars from ford for 13 years. This issue needs to have a recall because I have read thousands of reviews about this same issue.
