Purchased 4 new tires for my car only to be told that the lug nuts were all swollen and had to be replaced. from what I have read this is an ongoing problem with Ford and I don't feel it should be MY responsibility to pay for their mistakes. It also could have been a major problem had they broke loose while I was driving. This is unacceptable!

Driving back to North Carolina from Oklahoma my cars Low Oil Pressure light came on and dinged continuously. I was in the middle of Tennessee when this happened. The car lost all acceleration. I took it to a dealer the next morning and was told there is metal shavings in my oil. My oil level was fine. They removed the oil pan and found that pieces of my timing belt were in the oil. I was also told I needed a new engine and long block. My car has 64k miles on it. Talked to my dealer back here in NC and was told that Ford has issued a Special Service Message concerning the engine in my car with the dates qualifying. The message number is 49918. Stating that the engine can fail and you will get a low oil pressure light and lose acceleration. I call the Ford Motor Company and they said this was not a recall but for the dealers to do what they think is best for the customer and vehicle. I talked to Ford and they are willing to provide some assistance but not 100% because it is not a recall. My dealer also had an EcoSport in his service dept when he called me with the same issue.

WHILE IN MOTION THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR AND WAS SENDING CODE (DTC) P051B. THEY SAID THAT THE ENGINE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT.

A WEEK BEFORE I HAD AN OIL CHANGE PERFORM ON MY CAR. I WAS DRIVING SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CHILDREN.

I WAS DRIVING IN HIGHWAY 29 WHEN A WARNING STATED FOR LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE NEAREST CAR REPAIR SHOP, AROUND 2 MILES AWAY. WHEN THEY CHECK THE ENGINE OIL, ENGINE OIL WAS FULL. I WAS TOLD TO BRING TO THE NEAREST FORD SERVICE CENTER, AROUND 30 MILES AWAY. WHILE DRIVING BACK, 2MILES AFTER, MY CAR WAS DECELERATING UNTIL THE ENGINE STALLED. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PARK AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ALONG HWY 29 AND HAD MY ECOSPORT TOWED. I WAS LATER TOLD THAT MY ENGINE AND TURBO NEEDED REPLACEMENT. MY CAR JUST TURNED 2YRS OLD IN OCT, 2020.

I WAS AT A LIGHT, I WENT TO GO AROUND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME & THE CAR KEPT REVVING LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO PICK UP. I HAD TO GLIDE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PICK UP IN THE CAR. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO DRIVE AGAIN. I AM GLAD A CAR WASN'T COMING BECAUSE IT WOULD'VE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT

OIL WARNING LAMP CAME ON AND THEN A LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE. CAR STARTED SHAKING. HAD TOWED TO FORD IN CLOVIS. SAID THE BLOCK IS DAMAGED AND LOOKS LIKE THE OIL BELT TENSIONER BROKE AND DAMAGED ENGINE

ON THURSDAY JULY 2 2020 MY FORD ECOSPORT STALLED AT A STOP LIGHT. I WAS PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT BY THE LOCAL POLICE. I GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TALKED TO A FORD SERVICE PERSON AND HE SUGGESTED I DISABLE THE AUTO START. I DID AS HE SUGGESTED AND DROVE JUST FINE UNTIL I GOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STALLS AND I DROVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH BARELY ANY STEERING AND NO BRAKES AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP. THIS WAS REALLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS.

LOST OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE AND ILLUMINATING ENGINE OIL LIGHT. *TR

I PURCHASE A NEW 2018 FORD ECOSPORT. ON 12/22/19 THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS AUXILIARY POWER INSIDE BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE EVEN AFTER RECEIVING A JUMP. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THE CAR STARTED. ON 12/23/19 I HAD A FORD DEALER CHECK THE VEHICLE. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE BATTERY AND REPLACED IT. HOWEVER, ON 1/3/20 (11 DAYS LATER) WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. ONCE AGAIN THERE WAS AUXILIARY POWER BUT NO ENGINE RESPONSE. I HAD TO GET PUSHED OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALER (I WAS OUT OF TOWN) THEY INSISTED THAT IT WAS THE BATTERY (EVENTHOUGH IT WAS REPLACED ONLY DAYS PRIOR) AND SUGGESTED I DISABLE THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE AND TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT FORD IS MISSING SOMETHING. AFTER READING OTHER SIMILAR ACCOUNTS I WAS COMPELLED TO REPORT MY EXPERIENCES. I AM AFRAID THAT THERE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH MAY CAUSE BODILY INJURY AND/OR DEATH. PLEASE HELP US PREVENT A TRAGEDY

AFTER 3 DEALER ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR, BRAKES HAVE VERY LOUD SQUEAL WHEN IN REVERSE. NOISE CAN BE HEARD IN NEIGHBORS' HOMES.

THE TOUCH SENSATIVE DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK IN THE RAIN. THE KEY FOB MUST BE USED WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE IS WET. THIS OBVIOUSLY A MALFUNCTION AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY FORD

THE ON/OFF ISN'T WORKING CORRECTLY. ONCE THE CAR SHUTS OFF AT A LIGHT AND YOU TAKE OFF THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND THE RPM STARTS RACING. WHEN I'M DRIVING UP AN INCLINE THE CAR STARTED JERKED SO HARD IT FELT LIKE I HIT A BRICK WALL. A WEEK AGO I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS TO GO THE CAR BARELY MOVED WHILE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT JERKED THE WHOLE WAY ACROSS, ALL THE OTHER CARS HAD TO WAIT UNTIL I COULD GET OUT THE WAY. I GOT THIS CAR ON 4/15/19 AND I'VE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE. I'M GETTING SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE WHAT IT'S DOING IS DANGEROUS. I HOPE FORD LOOKS INTO THIS, FIGURE OUT WHAT THE CAUSE IS AND FIX IT. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE GOING FROM A SITTING POSITION TO TAKING OF AND WHEN GOING ON ANY INCLINE. THE JERKING IS LOUD, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HIT SOMETHING AND THE JERK IS VERY HARD. THE CAR ALSO DOESN'T SHUT ON AND OFF AS IT SHOULD. THE CAR STILL JERKS EVEN WITH THE ON/OFF BUTTON TURNED OFF

MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON MARCH 14 2018, THEY GOT HIT PRETTY GOOD IN ALL ANGLES OF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS DECLARED TOTAL LOSS. MY CONCERN IS .. WHY, ANY OF THE AIR BAGS ON THE CAR DEPLOYED ? NONE OF THE AIRBAGS, EVEN THE ONES ON THE SIDES, WENT OFF. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER SHIP, THEY TOLD ME THE CAR NEEDS TO BE CRASH IN THE FRONT AREA IN ORDER TO DEPLOY. HERE COMES MY CONCERN, IS THAT A GOOD SAFETY SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE? I AM NOW GOING TO TRY TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE IAM WITHOUT ONE RIGHT NOW. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY AT 60 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT HAPPENED IN THE HIGHWAY. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS AT FAULT. POLICE REPORT STATES IT.

CONTACTED DEALER SALES WITH ATTACHED PHOTO. STATES ALL THE CARS ARE LIKE THIS. THIS IS A MOVABLE STARRING COLUMN JUST BEHIND BRAKE BAD. A LOSE SHOE STRING CAN BE CAUGHT IN HERE DISABLE STEERING. THE FLOOR MAT WAS RUBBING AGAINST THIS AND MY WIFE THOUGH THE STEERING WAS THE ISSUE. IT REALLY IS. A SIMPLE INEXPENSIVE COVER IS NEEDED

I AM TRYING TO ADD INFORMATION TO COMPLAINT #11175903. WHEN I MADE THE COMPLAINT THERE WERE NO INJURIES SINCE THEN THE OTHER DRIVER PARTY WENT TO THE HOSPITAL UNKNOWN ON INJURIES CAN I ADD THIS TO MY COMPLAINT

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

THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WHEN IN PARK MODE DUE THE AUTO-STOP START FEATURE NOT DISENGAGING CORRECTLY. FORD HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND DOESN'T HAVE A SOLUTION.

MY 2018 FORD ECOSPORT AUTO SHUTOFF/RESTART FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR. FORD HAS NOT INSPECTED MY CAR AS OF YET BUT THEY HAVE DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR A LOANER CAR CITING THAT THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT DUE TO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. FURTHERMORE THE PARTS THAT MY MECHANIC NEEDS IN ORDER TO FIX THE CAR ARE ON BACKORDER WITH NO ETA PROVIDED BY FORD. ACCIDENT WAS ON 4/30/18. TODAY IS 7/19/18. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED AND FORD WILL NOT ASSIST WITH FURTHER INVESTIGATION, NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE NEEDED PARTS IN A TIMELY MANNER.
