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)

First hill start/stop assist stopped working back around may. Then the car started stalling and acting funny. Then in June it said low engine oil pressure. Took it for oil change then the engine blew on my way home on the highway. Had to get the engine fixed.
Oil pump belt failed and caused engine to be bad, per independent service center. I have copy of the invoice, but it would not let me upload. Car drove like normal, then one day got in the car and "engine oil pressure low" message came on and the check engine light came on. Drove a couple blocks to get gas, car broke down on the way back from gas station (less than half a mile) all warning lights on dash came on and engine shut off. Towed to repair shop, estimated repair cost (engine ruined) is $6,419
The oil light kept coming on over the course of a couple weeks. We changed the oil, and it seem to be running better for a few hours. Then the car started beeping at the driver, the acceleration was effected. It was making clicking noises and lots of warning signs. The car would barely move forward and the driver had to pull off into a neighborhood. We then have the car towed to the Ford dealership where they told us us the engine would need to be replaced due to the timing belt fair and oil pressure issues.

My car first came on with a check engine light at 53,000 miles. Got it coded that the car prompted and it was reading P015B which indicates bank 1 sensor 1 of O2 sensors experiencing a lean to rich response issue. I scheduled an appointment with a mechanic to have it looked at. It drove fine for 24 hours. The next day my car started to run rough and the oil light came on as well with an error message reporting low oil pressure. I recently got an oil change done a week prior. I did take the car back to where I got the oil change. The company did not find any issues with the oil change but proceeded to change it anyway again. They advised me at that point to not drive the car till diagnosed at a dealership. At this point I have had the car towed to a local dealership. I am told over the phone that it may be due to a know issue with my car of a bad oil pump and could risk blowing the engine. I am awaiting further diagnosis after the holidays.
The oil pump went out and ruined the motor. The low engine oil pressure alarm didn't go off until after the car quit. Had it towed to the dealership. They've had it for 2 months. Waiting on them to call for me to pick it up.
I have a 2018 Ford economy sport. I frequently took good care of this car. I changed the oil regularly. A out 3 weeks ago I was driving my car and the oil pressure light appeared on my car after I just got it fixed. Shortly thereafter the engine went out and left me stranded with no car. I had to come up with $7000 to replace install new engine. I tried to get warranty dept with Ford to fix my car the decl8ned over reasons that have nothing to do with the car engine going. I called the car dealership Matthew's Motors in Wilmington North Carolina and they offered no help. Prior to this fiasco one of my coils blew in the engine. I was stranded 3 days in Virginia. I replaced the coils put new sparkplugs and parts over 600 in repairs. The car ran good for a bit then 3 weeks later no car stranded. I only had the car for 2 and a half years and owe 18,000 on it still. No one wants to help me and I'm frustrated. I took care of the car. Can u please help

On 11/03/2023 my low oil pressure light came on in my 2018 Ecosport and the motor shut down as I was driving home. There was a car directly behind me that had to hit their brakes as I had no power. Luckily, I was able to coast to the shoulder of the road. My car is currently at the Ford dealership and should be checked on 11/06/2023. I've had to go out of pocket for a rental.

Brakes were squeaking when I brought vehicle off lot initially. Santa Monica Ford Lincoln Dealership notified me it is likely "dust on the tires, and would wear off in time." It never did. Later, vehicle was stalling in middle of intersections. Starter was replaced. Vehicle began lagging again to restart after idle at lights. Disgusting smell coming from vents described by dealership as "old socks." Brought it in, filter replaced. Smell continued. Brought it back again, issue was never fixed. They told me to run the vents. Shortly after, check engine light appeared with note "Low Oil Pressure." Car began making loud sounds. Brought car to dealership, has been 2 weeks with no diagnosis. Was notified of a rodent infestation. Dealership asked me to get approval from Ford for an engine tear down to find the root of the issue. Ford corporate was notified of this issue and is working with me on repairs. All repairs of past were under warranty. Current issue should be under power train, however, failing to give diagnostic after 2 weeks. I have covered 2 weeks of rentals out of pocket- Ford told me to go through Enterprise which I did. One week in, they notified me it has to be from their preferred Enterprise location. Nothing has been diagnosed or covered, dealership is stalling the issue.
My car all of a sudden had a low oil pressure sign come on and the acceleration slowed down. The car started rattling. Had it towed to the mechanic. They said I have oil and its clean but the issue was that the oil pump/ belt inside the engine basically gave up. Apparently this is a common issue with this vehicle when it hits around 60-70k miles and I am not sure why.
I appears my oil pump has failed and the car has no power and a low oil pressure alert is on the dashboard. This failure happened while my 17 year old daughter was driving on HWY 290 in Austin, TX. This caused her vehicle to stall in the middle of traffic which was very dangerous. She was able to start the care and immediately pull over in traffic, but the care would not go very good at all. There were no warning lights on in the vehicle when this happened.
My 2018 Ford Ecosport odometer goes black when it-€™s parked in the sun while I-€™m driving I can-€™t see my dashboard when it-€™s cool it-€™ll turn back on sometimes when it-€™s not under the sun
When driving vehicle, the -€œlow engine oil pressure-€ warning came on, as well as the engine light. Power to the vehicle diminished and I was able to pull into a parking lot. Vehicle was towed to Ford dealership where engine was torn down to show that the engine oil pump tensioner failed as explained in TSB# SSM49200. Dealership stated that a new engine and turbo assembly is needed.
