The problems about the engine losing oil pressure, lights flashing, and the engine going dead are well known. The car's engine is dead and the car has been sitting in my garage for more than one year. I was told by Ford back in 2024 that the problem would be fixed. Then I was told in about June, 2024 that "engine parts" were needed to fix the problem and that the parts should be received within two months. Now, 15-months have gone by and I never heard another word from Ford. My car is still in the garage. When will Tasca Ford fix the problem?

I brought my Ford EcoSport into the Baxter. Ford, in Papillion, Nebraska, because it was malfunctioning, the oil pressure got real low and my car was not accelerating like it should Also I advise them that there is an open recall on the vehicle. As well and I that the recall and the engine malfunction are related. They told me that it wasn't, and I'm sure it was. Then, they advised me that after speaking with Ford. Ford agreed to pay $3000 for a new engine, while I was responsible for the remaining $4000, I asked if I can have an email showing the communication with Ford, I was advised that they don't have access to that. They're unable to forward me an email, which is a red flag i would like to get a second opinion on the diagnosis of my engine in the fort. Ecosport. I don't understand why they would not be able to forward me an email of the communication between them and Ford.

Complaint Summary: My 2019 Ford EcoSport has experienced repeated failures of a known recall‑related engine defect. The engine was replaced once due to the recall, and less than a year later the same defect occurred again. The vehicle stalled on the highway, creating a serious safety hazard. Despite multiple recall repairs, the defect persists. Ford denied my buyback request without proper review. I am requesting NHTSA investigation into the effectiveness of this recall remedy. Have had two failed attempts under this recall to correct the situation, which is putting me and my family at risk. This is especially concerning because my special-needs son travels with me in the vehicle.

Our engine seized due to a safety recall while traveling on a major interstate. We received notice of the safety recall from Ford and asked to have it fixed by our local dealership. This was August 20, 2025. We were told by the dealership’s service manager that there were 2 or 3 cars ahead of us and call back the first of September. We again asked to get scheduled and were told there were cars ahead of us. We once again asked about the recall and having it repaired on Oct. 21, 2025. We was told it couldn’t be scheduled at the time and it should be okay for us to go on our scheduled 8 hour trip. The car seized on Oct. 26, 2025 and we were 4 hours away from home. At that time, we had to have it towed to local dealership there and were stranded. The low oil light came on just minutes before it seized. We contacted the state police to be there with us as we waited for help and had to pay to stay overnight. Our car is still 4 hours away and is supposed to be fixed as soon as the engine comes in. This was a safety recall and we were advised to travel in a car which was not safe and Ford knew it. We do not have any paperwork except the safety recall as it has not been repaired.

I contacted the local Ford dealer, Confidence of Norman in Oklahoma, twice regarding correspondence from Ford about the ongoing recall. I had made appointments on both occasions. During my first visit, the dealership representative stated that they would only address the issue if my vehicle had an actual malfunction and would take no action in the meantime. Last week, I scheduled a follow-up appointment after receiving another letter from Ford. This appointment took place today; however, I was again refused service. The dealership claimed that, despite my scheduled appointment, they lacked the necessary tools to perform the repairs. They did not offer an alternative appointment or provide an estimated timeline for when the issue might be fixed. Ultimately, their response indicated that my visit was unproductive. Besides this complaint, I don’t know what else I can do to fix this problem.

I have had the same issue with my Ecosport since 04/2022 and have taken it to the ford dealership and been in contact with ford corporate multiple times. In March 2023 I had to replace the engine because it finally completely froze up and was told it was do to the oil pump tensioner. This was the fifth time I had taken it in. The check engine light came back on as soon as I left the dealership, I was told it just needed to reset. It started having issues again in August 2023 and every time I took it in it has been dismissed. I have spent thousands of dollars on repairs for this SUV. Today the check engine light came back on and it smells like smoke if you try to drive it, along with it being very slow to pick up speed and making the same odd noise as before the motor locked up the last time. I contacted ford and made another appointment today to get it checked. I also contacted ford customer service and was told that there is nothing they can do that I will once again be responsible for the cost of all repairs because the recall is not completely in place. This vehicle is not fixable or safe to drive. Ford informed me that the vehicle is now to old for them to be responsible for the fact that the car is not fixable despite the fact that they have been trying to fix it and charging me thousands of dollars while I am still paying on it. And knowing it was unsafe

I am filing a complaint regarding Ford Recall 23S64 on my 2019 Ford EcoSport. My vehicle is showing a solid red low oil pressure warning, which Ford’s own documents state can result in engine failure while driving. I contacted my Ford dealership, and they confirmed I am part of the recall but told me to keep driving the vehicle until the engine fails, even though this clearly poses a serious safety risk to myself and others on the road. They also said it would be 3 weeks before I can receive a loaner vehicle. I then called Ford’s official customer service number (800‑392‑3673) and was met with dismissive and rude behavior. My concerns about the safety of operating a vehicle with an active engine defect were not taken seriously. I explained that I rely on this car for income and have no safe alternative right now. I’m being told to knowingly drive a car with a known oil pump defect that could result in sudden engine seizure, while Ford delays parts and offers no timely solution. This creates a serious safety issue for me and for others on the road. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this further and that Ford be required to take urgent action to provide safe alternatives to affected drivers before their engines fail.

Was driving down highway when I lost power and it started whistling and a warning sounded said low oil pressure so I pulled over and had to be towed home. When I received my recall letter I took it to my local ford dealer In Covington indiana and they told me they couldn't get the parts but would contact me when they came and they neverdid. So I called them back after this happened and they said they couldn't get these parts sent to them that I would have to find a bigger dealership. Now I have to pay for a tow to Lebanon Indiana they can't get it in until July 23rd for diagnosis and no loaner. So I am without answers or a vehicle for almost a month...

NHTSA #11674990
My vehicle falls under a recall due to the oil tensioner belt. I experienced a problem where the engine wasn’t allowing me to accelerate over certain speeds. The car has been experiencing the same issue even after multiple attempts to fix the car. I had the engine replaced once & four days later the engine blew while I was traveling down a hill. I had no control over the vehicle and as it continued to glide down the hill, I anxiously turned on my hazards afraid of what I was about to face. The dealership determined that the engine had blown again & that they would rectify the situation yet again. I received notice that after yet another replacement engine, the car was test driven and is chattering. My car has been in the shop for over two months and after multiple attempts of trying to fix the recall, I would feel rather unsafe to drive the vehicle again.

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.

My car is at risk it has a powertrain and a w d failure when I am driving in the middle of the street or the expressway it stops in the middle of the expressway and loses power loses everything where me and my family could be at risk for a very serious accident leading to death in the middle of the highway or in the middle of the road as I am driving the car loses power and stops in the middle of the road. The manufacturer should be responsible for this because this is obviously something that needs to be fixed where it could be causing my death or my family's death while on the road. 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 should not be responsible for these damages because it is obviously a malfunction of the manufacturer.

I realize there is an open recall of 23V905. As well, my vehicle did experience a loss of oil pressure which caused the engine to fail. My local Ford Dealership DID replace the engine. However, the recall is still open given the fact the oil pump is still part of the original recall. My frustration is that this recall has been opened since February 2024 and there is no time frame of the repair and closing of the recall and Ford Motor Company refuses to take a complaint on it and has not communicated to their dealerships as to the time frame.

I am writing to formally file a complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration regarding an unresolved safety recall on my 2019 Ford EcoSport. On February 18, 2026, at approximately 9:01 A.M., I contacted my local dealership, El Cajon Ford, to schedule the recall repair. I was informed that the required recall parts are on indefinite backorder and that there is no estimated date for availability. This leaves my vehicle unrepaired for a known safety defect with no clear timeline for remedy. Additionally, during that same conversation, I informed the dealership that my check engine light is currently illuminated, which raises further concerns given the open safety recall. I was told that if I bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing and the issue is determined not to be related to the recall, I would be responsible for a $209 diagnostic fee. I am concerned that this creates a financial barrier to determining whether the warning light may, in fact, be related to the known safety defect. I regularly transport my [XXX] child in this vehicle. Continuing to operate a vehicle subject to an open safety recall — particularly one involving a potentially serious safety-related defect — places my family at unnecessary risk. The indefinite delay in parts availability undermines the purpose of a federally mandated safety recall. Under federal law, manufacturers are required to provide a free and timely remedy for safety-related defects. An open-ended delay with no estimated repair date does not appear to meet that standard and leaves consumers without meaningful protection. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter, investigate the delay in recall remedy availability, and take appropriate action to ensure that affected consumers are not required to continue operating potentially unsafe vehicles without a timely repair or interim solution. Thank you for your attention to this serious safety concern. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was notified over a year ago about the recall on my car and continue to be told there’s no remedy for the problem. If Ford is aware that the parts that have been recalled can cause other problems why is there still no remedy for the situation?!?!?! I barely drive my car now because I’m worried my entire car is going to break down. Which is very likely. The last couple of times I did drive it I noticed it doesn’t seem to drive right. Now whether that has something to do with the recalled part I don’t know for sure, but I will be taking it to the shop to figure out what the issue it and if it’s related to the recalled part. If so, I will be reaching out to my attorney for further assistance.

I have 37,000 miles on my car. I noticed the car was getting extremely loud when accelerating. Upon looking for recalls, I did see several mentions that people have reported issues with the flex pipe but did not see an official recall. I was confident that the issue was within the exhaust system. Unfortunately, a Ford dealership could not look at the problem for another two months so I took it to an independent dealership who validated that the flex pipe was rusted / busted. In addition they advised that the rear differential is also leaking fluid. For only having 37,000 miles on a car and having this kind of issues and not having an accident that would have created these issues and seeing others report the same problems I think this needs to be looked into.

ODI 11676608 Since initial contact to your office the transmission issue has worsened An extended warranty was purchased. After 30 days the car was taken to the repair location suggested by the warranty company. No warning lights were on, but the car was running very rough. It was not getting enough power to get thru intersections and very sluggish to keep the speed with traffic. The tool light had come on a couple of times, but would reset when I shut down the car and restarted it. The warranty provider was aware that the light was not on and I was taking it to the be serviced as a precaution. I was not comfortable driving an unreliable auto. The repair shop determined that I again need a transmission. The warranty company states it will not pay for the repair, Ford says they won't assist since I was now dealing with a repair shop rather than a dealership and I am stuck with this pile of metal. March 29, 2023 my car had 56,000 miles and the dealership did an (over haul), the car now has 96,000 miles. Way too soon for any car to be put down! I have spoken to several mechanics about this issue and the conclusion verbalized to me has been, the transmissions on these cars are crap and get rid of the carl

Before 58000 miles my 2019 Ford EcoSport began experiencing serious drivetrain issues. The car grinds when going uphill, shakes and shudders when accelerating, and the RPMs surge up and down erratically. A certified Ford dealer diagnosed it as a transmission-related problem, (torque converter which I understand to be an issue with these cars)and Ford has only offered partial financial assistance (45%) for a $3,000 repair. These symptoms pose a potential safety issue, especially while merging, climbing hills, or accelerating in traffic. Additionally, the infotainment system failed—backup camera and USB ports stopped working—raising more concerns about overall electrical system reliability. This transmission failure occurred far too early for normal wear and raises serious concerns about possible manufacturing defects. This should not be happening this soon and no engine lights came on or anything.

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.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The issue appears to be related to the powertrain system, specifically the belt tension or transmission shifting components. A “Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power” warning message appeared through the FordPass app, and I have also been experiencing jerking or hesitation when applying pressure to the gas pedal, particularly during gear shifts. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. ⸻ How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The unexpected jerking and reduction in power while driving could pose a serious safety risk, especially when merging onto highways or changing lanes, where smooth acceleration is critical. This behavior could result in a loss of control or increase the likelihood of a rear-end collision in traffic. ⸻ Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? An independent mechanic has reviewed the issue and suspects that it may be related to the previously reported belt tension recall, although my specific vehicle VIN was not included in that recall group. The mechanic observed the jerking and powertrain alert and recommended further inspection. ⸻ Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet. I am currently in the process of filing this report and seeking guidance from the manufacturer to determine the next steps for inspection and resolution. ⸻ Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. The “Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power” message appeared via the FordPass app. Prior to the alert, I had noticed intermittent jerking and hesitation during acceleration, which became more noticeable within the last few weeks leading up to the warning

I relied on this representation in making my purchase decision. I later discovered that the vehicle is subject to a serious manufacturer recall involving the engine oil pump, which can fail and cause loss of oil pressure, engine damage, and safety risks while driving.

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?

I bought a used 2019 Ford Ecosport SE in January 2022. I received a recall notice (#23S64: “ENGINE OIL PUMP BELT AND TENSIONER REPLACEMENT FINAL REPAIR”). A paper notice I received from Ford dated June 2024 mentioned a remedy expected in Q1 2025. The estimation was pushed back, and parts were eventually ready in Q3, some time in August. Before I could take my vehicle to a dealership, on [XXX], while driving my vehicle it stalled, smoked, and smoldered. I made no collisions with any other object, person, or vehicle. I called my insurance and the fire department (incident number: [XXX]). I believe the damage was related to the recall. It was described to me that there was even damage to some wiring, as a result of the fire. I called my insurance, and they towed my vehicle to Larry H. Miller Ford Dealership on September 30, 2025. It was scheduled for its first service on October 1, 2025, but technicians inspected it on October 16, 2025. The repair cost exceeded the vehicle’s value, as I needed a new engine and transmission. After long periods without progress and updates, on January 7th, I was informed by the dealership that I’d either be paid or my vehicle would be repaired, but the final decision rested with Ford Motor Company. The dealership had submitted everything, as a service manager with Larry H. Miller told me on January 7, 2026. I called Ford Motor Company and asked for specific repair dates, but I received no more information than from the dealership. I was told by the dealership that I should have an answer on repairs “by the end of the week”on January 26, 2026, but it’s now February 3, 2026. I’ve been without a vehicle for four months, impacting my flexibility and affecting my vehicle loan. I accepted a loaner vehicle on January 7, 2026. I seek a prompt and fair resolution, whether it’s a payment or a repair. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car has been in and out of the shop since 2024 due to the power train system. As this is an active recall case my car was repaired 5 times. Recently, with the recall part replaced in January 2026, I got my car back and in May 2026 while driving, my car once again loss power. Going from 50 to coasting. After many guarantees that the problem is fixed, I continue to have the same dangerous problems.

My 2019 Ford EcoSport 1.0L EcoBoost engine began making loud noise consistent with oil pressure failure. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Ford dealership. The dealership performed a teardown and confirmed the oil pump belt tensioner had failed — the exact defect described in Safety Recall 23S64. The dealer replaced the oil pump belt, tensioner, and oil pump under Recall 23S64. However, the dealer then stated that the resulting engine damage — severe scoring of connecting rod bearings and crankshaft journals caused by oil starvation — is “not related to the recall” and refused to replace the engine under Recall 23S64. Ford’s own recall documentation states: if engine failure is related to a broken oil pump belt or tensioner, a long block engine replacement is authorized as an interim repair at no charge. The updated Service Action also states the oil pump belt and tensioner no longer need to be replaced before long block installation. The causal chain is direct: tensioner failed (recall defect) → oil pressure lost → engine destroyed. The dealer’s refusal to replace the engine appears to violate Ford’s own Recall 23S64 service procedure. The vehicle has been inoperable for weeks. I continue making monthly loan and insurance payments on a vehicle I cannot drive. My extended warranty claim was also denied because the warranty company requires written confirmation from Ford that the engine damage is not recall-related — a document the dealer says they cannot provide. I am requesting NHTSA to investigate whether Ford dealers are systematically denying recall-related engine replacements under 23S64 that they are obligated to perform per Ford’s own recall service procedures. Additionally, prior to the complete engine failure, the vehicle stalled unexpectedly while stopped at a red light in active traffic without any warning. The engine shut off suddenly, consistent with sudden loss of oil pressure caused by the recall defect. This created a dangerous safety situation

I have had to put a new engine in my 2019 ford ecosport 3 times due to the open recall on the vehicle. It is currently at the ford dealership due to coolant leaking into the head gasket. The problems with the vehicle have been confirmed by the dealers. And no there were ZERO warnings or signs before the vehicle completely failed on us on the highway the first time. Then the same issue happened yet again and had to put my car in the shop again for another new engine due to the recall.

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.

I was given my 2nd recall letter. I called ford recall customer service center was told the car is fine until anything goes wrong with the brakes. I was driving my car in light of this. I got a car wash at mobile gas station. The car wash washed underneath the vehicle and after going out the car wash the brakes made a LOUD squeaky sound. I contacted ford like they stated now no answer to my issue just the run around. What can I do? Also when I first bought this vehicle in 2019 I was baking out of my driveway on a slight incline. And heard a loud noise again backing out after just receiving the brand new car.
