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.

In June 2023 I got into a rear end accident with another vehicle. On my way to work. It was an accident where my brakes failed to stop my car. It was the weirdest accident, because I actually saw myself going into the back of the car in front of me but it was like my car failed to stop. I told Geico that my foot went through the break. And I have pictures of where my break pedal, broken half. The dealership had my car for close to two months and they never fixed it. They ignored my calls. I ended up going to the dealership and picking up my car. They gave excuse after excuse, and they never returned my calls. I took it to a local place to have my car fixed. The brake pedal is still half of what it used to be. I have an engine leak and when I saw the email about the recall on Ford Ecosports for brake problems and engine leaks, I knew that this was the exact issues with my car and issues that my dealership was trying to avoid

I was losing oil quickly. One Ford dealership said there was a leak in my engine. 2 other Ford dealerships couldn't find said leak. On [XXX] I was taking my car in for an oil change when about 8 miles out my brakes stopped working. Per Jennifer Wilkes at Ford this was the issue "Good afternoon, I had to submit a claim to replace the long block of the motor as well as the turbo assembly and the vacuum brake booster. They are all bad and need to be replaced. I submitted a claim today to Ford for the repairs with your extended warranty. I am holding for approval at this time Allan Vigil Ford Lincoln" Per this recall, I should not have been charged for this repair. This was all related to the recall and I was charged $200 after my warranty. Please refund me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was just parking my car in a spot in my parking lot in front of my apartment. All of a sudden my car took at a fast speed. I could not stop it. I went over two curbs and hit a tree. Finally it stopped. Now it may be totalled. I looked up the recall of this car, and it said my car has a problem that could cause the engine and power brakes to fail while driving. My insurance company thinks it is my fault, but I think this proves differently. Please advise. I never got a notice about this recall. I could have been killed if my car hit the tree head on. thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On June 30 2023 my 2018 Ford eco sports -??oil engine pressure low-?? light turned on while I was trying to get on the freeway. Only seconds later my car will hardly accelerate, and I was forced to pull over right after merging onto the highway at about 35 mph. Thankfully I did because when I got to the shoulder I noticed the brakes were extremely hard to push down. Even after when I tried to restart my car there was tension on the brake (which I have to press to start the car) I had to wait on the side of the freeway for hours and have my car towed over 50 miles home. Upon 2 different mechanics looking at my car they estimated it to be a $7,000 engine repair due to the timing belt tensioner loosing oil pressure and messing the engine up. I haven-??t been able to drive my car since June of 2023 and am still making payments on my loan. Not to mention my car, though bought in 2019, was cared for meticulously and has less than 100,000 miles in it. Ford advised me to simply pay for the damages and keep my receipts in the case of the car getting recalled, they might be able to reimburse me she said. The representative or Ford failed to think about the fact that this is not only a financial issue but a safety one! Thank god my daughter wasn-??t with me stranded as well. I-??m also lucky it was early in the morning and there wasn-??t a lot of traffic when I was nervously trying to get on the freeway at 35 mph to find a safe spot to get parked. I-??m not only disappointed in Ford but worried for other people/ family-??s driving this time bomb!

I got in the car one morning and got a low pressure oil light so I thought it needed more oil so I put more oil in the car and then as I was driving I had low acceleration. Then my brakes started to go out Then my brakes started to go out. Not like they needed to be replaced but they were very hard to press and you needed to press them all the way to the floor but you still didn't have any breaks. My safety and other people safety was put at risk when I was driving the car and my brake started to go out because I didn't have any way to stop my car. The issue has been confirmed by an independent mechanic that I took the car too that I was told I needed to take it to buy my warranty company. It has been taken to a mechanic it's been at the mechanic for 2 plus weeks. I It is currently available to look at but the mechanic is fighting with my warranty company to get a new engine to replace the one I currently have because that's a conclusion that they have come to that i need a new engine. I was told on Thursday the 21st than an inspector from the warranty company was coming out to look at the car to determine whether or not they would approve for me to get a new engine. My check oil light and my check engine light came on as soon as I started having issues and Soon as the check engine light came on as when I started looking in to getting it fixed.

- Johnston, RI, USA

I have 2018 Ford Ecosport and the auto shutoff/restart was not working right. When I stopped at a light it shut off and didn't start again it had stalled this happened about three times. Then as I was driving it stalled again as I was driving off the highway on a ramp and I couldn't stop and hit the car in front of me which was about four car lengths ahead my airbags deployed and my car has severe damage. Have there been any other incidents of this kind. I was lucky no one was hurt but someone else might not be so lucky
