Check engine light came on at 24k miles. Alert on Ford Pass app said the engine wasn't heating up to operating temperature fast enough. Had a second Alert come up the next time I drove the car saying there was an electrical issue in the vehicle causing anti lock breaks and other important driver assistance features to not work including traction control.

I was driving my Ecosport when suddenly we heard a ding and a warning came on stating -??low engine oil pressure-??. We pulled over immediately, was advised by our dealer to not drive it. Our vehicle was towed to a dealership as we were out of state and got a call two days after stating our engine needed to be replaced due to something with the oil. I was never given an exact reason what happened to the engine to cause needing a new one. This occurred at 66,000 (roughly) miles. We have an extended warranty however are fighting to have this issue covered.

Got in the car to leave work and after driving for 5 minutes the car stalled and showed the oil and check engine light. Took the car to the dealer and was told code P0012 and P0014 were present with metal contamination in oil. This car has been maintained well at the dealer every step of the way since we purchased it. Dealer claims the entire engine needs to be replaced due to a failed oil pump causing bearing failure. This is at 75,000 Miles. Fords standard warranty is 36,000 miles, now I guess we all know why. There is no solution to this other than to RECALL these engines and fix what Ford knew they weren't ready to produce by rushing to put these cars together with faulty products. Seems like they are building cars to last every couple of years, a similar issue happened with our 2017 Escape.

My vehicle has the 4 cylinder (non eco boost) engine. It started having an emissions system fault which has been causing exhaust and fuel fumes to not only be very strong under the hood, but has become very strong inside the cab when the climate control is on. Since this started, my wife and I have been experiencing headaches, extreme lethargy, nausea and agitation that typicality resolves after leaving the windows down or completely leaving the vehicle altogether. Filling the fuel tank causes the vehicle to barely start and fumes become overbearingly noticeable directly after.
