There has been a recall for a while now that Ford has not fixed in a timely manner. Recall itself has been active going on 2 years. Now my car is broke down at the dealership which states it could be months before a fix is available and complete. Leaving us with no car. Dealership says there are 16 people in front of us waiting on a loaner. Manufacturer refuses to pay for a rental.

On March 13, 2025, while driving, my 2020 Ford EcoSport suddenly lost power and shut down. The vehicle is under Recall 23S64 (oil pump failure). I had to tow it to a shop, which confirmed low oil pressure, then to Ford, who confirmed complete engine failure and replaced the engine parts. I was without a vehicle for 34 days and Ford refused to provide a rental unless it was a Ford-brand, which was unavailable. After the engine replacement, further issues occurred: check engine light, battery failure, overheating, coolant leaks, and multiple installation errors including a missing coolant line bracket (causing leaks), cross-threaded turbo-to-cat converter stud, missing splash shield, and broken overflow line. Repairs cost thousands of dollars out-of-pocket. On May 13, 2025, a new recall was issued on the replacement engine, meaning my car remains unsafe despite the prior recall fix. These failures created unsafe driving conditions (loss of power on the road, overheating, potential engine fire risk). The problems have been confirmed by both Ford and an independent certified shop.
I was driving my vehicle on the expressway when it started to shake and slow down. A message then appeared on my screen to check the engine oil level. At this point my car could not speed up past 40 mph and my engine was making a loud knocking noise. I took it to Valvoline and they informed me all my fluids were good. When I left the problem persisted, and my car speed dropped to 33 mph in a 55 mph lane.

Car is jerky, acceleration is slowed Brakes worn faster than they should Oil is leaking There is a lot wrong and I cannot afford these early repairs that are needed.
For the past 3 weeks my check engine light would appear then disappear. On 01-09-25 I scheduled with a in town loco mechanic shop. Gave him my worries about how my check engine light sometimes comes on. I was advised to take my vehicle to the Ford dealership because they could not replace the sensors I needed, only Ford can?? I picked up my car and the check engine light was not on. Today [XXX] in the morning check engine light is on. Once I put the gear in drive my vehicle was struggling for speed. It struggled so much that it made me a bit nervous that I returned home right away. So……I decided to do a little research on my vehicle. It has low mileage. Oh boy. I didn’t know Ford had some recalls. I plan on requesting an inspection from the manufacturer. I was never informed or notified of any specific needs to be repaired as part of a recall?? I hope this makes sense?? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The backup camera stays on after the car is in Drive and is actively moving forward. It has happened multiple times. I have video of this occurring.
My Ford 2020 EcoSport caught on fire last 12/22/24 for a recall that Ford acknowledged. I am still waiting for it to get fixed, it is now 01/30/25. Now I have been paying for a car rental from my own pocket, not sure how much longer this will be. Also, I will pay for $1,000 deductible when I pick up my car because I filed a claim through my insurance which covered only my towing and a portion of the cost for repairs after my deductible. This is so unfair because Ford said they will NOT cover anything. This is now causing hardship financially with my family. I am a single Mom, sole provider and now, I will have to be late on my rent depending on how long it will get fixed too, since I need to get a rental in order to continue to get to work, take my daughter to school and care for my elderly parents. I feel so defeated because I can't rely on a car that I need for my livelihood. I did not cause nor ask for this, but Ford is not helping alleviate the ripple effects that this caused my family. What's worse is that when I spoke with Ford in 12/27/2024, they acknowledged that this only a band aid, not a definite solution for the problem. I don't think that I will have any more money in the future to deal with something they know may catch on fire again. It is so immoral. I would like to also add that I purchased an extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle in 10/2020. Since I am now over the miles stipulated, Ford will not budge. I only got free oil changes from an extended warranty that was over $6,000. Again, very immoral. Please help me and my family. I would like to join if there's an ongoing class action lawsuit.

I broke down in the middle of nowhere while roadtripping. My engine fuel pressure light came on. The closet Ford was an hour away. 20 mins in my engine started making a horrible sound. I had to pay to get myself and it towed the rest of the way. After being diagnosed by the dealership, the recall of the oil fuel pump/belt completely failed and went through my engine. If I had continued driving my engine would have seized. I now need a whole new engine in which Ford said will take a minimum of a month before my car will be fixed. up until this point I always took care of routine maintenance and oil changes even having my whole car completed inspected last month. There were no warnings once so ever up until the actual moment the part was failing and the warning came up on my dash.

I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL IN A ONLINE NEWS ARTICLE IN DECEMBER 2024. FORD NEVER ADVISED. WHEN I WENT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP Winner Ford FOR AN OIL CHANGE IN NOVEMBER 2024 THEY DID NOT ADVISE OF THE RECALL EITHER. THIS NEW DEALER Willis Ford I SAW IN MAY 2025 CONFIRMED THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE SINCE THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN MY CHANGED OUT OIL. THEY ADVISED THEY WOULD INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND REACH OUT TO FORD FOR PERMISSION TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. AS OF 2 WEEKS AGO THIS DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AWARE THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND WERE GOING TO GIVE ME A LOANER WHILE I WAITED FOR INSPECTION. THEY OFFERED ANOTHER ECOSPORT THAT THEY CLAIM HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND WAS SAFE. MY ISSUE IS WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR NOT ADVISING ME OF THE RECALL. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR BUT 132 MILES SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD TO WAIT ON FRIENDS OR FAMILY TO BRING ME TO PHILADELPHIA PA TO SEE MY SON AND GRANDKIDS. THIS IS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS. I WILL DEAL WITH THE ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REGARDING IGNORANCE REGARDING THE RECALL AND SUBSEQUENT AVAILABILITY OF PARTS CURRENTLY. HOW DO I GET FORD TO COMPENSATE ME FOR NOT ADVISING OF THE ISSUE PROMPTLY THUS ALLOWING ME TO DRIVE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES IN A DANGERIOUS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
I was on the highway when my car started to light up on the dashboard and the car started to slow down and wouldn’t move. Took it to ford and they had to replace the whole engine but now even after the replacement the car is slow, doesn’t heat up and shakes.
My ecosport’s coolant reservoir has a leak. Due to this, my car overheated and went into limp mode. A week later, my ecosport would crank but not start, I believe this is due to a cracked cylinder from the oil pump recall. I received a recall notice for the oil pump in June with no current remedy. Now, I am having these issues with my vehicle. A mobile mechanic looked at my vehicle.
This vehicle suffered a complete engine failure that has been directly linked to the defective engine oil pump, which is the subject of multiple Ford recalls and NHTSA campaign references for EcoSport and Focus models (2016–2022). Despite this known defect, Ford has refused to cover the repair or offer relief, leaving the consumer with a non-functioning vehicle and a significant outstanding loan balance. Details: • Engine failure occurred despite regular maintenance and diligent payment of the auto loan. • Consumer received Ford correspondence acknowledging oil pump failure risks. • Capital City Bank, the lienholder, continues to demand payments for a vehicle that is mechanically inoperable due to a defect outside the consumer’s control. • This defect has created financial hardship and left the consumer without reliable transportation.
On Tuesday, [XXX] I could have been killed on the highway due to the recall from Ford. I’m thankful I am alive today. I was driving when my engine oil pressure light came on, my speed slowed down, my car was rumbling, my engine locked up and I had to weave through traffic to pull over on the side of the road. I had to spend money to have it towed to a mechanic. The mechanic told me it was most likely caused by the recall. I had it towed to Ford in Crestview, FL. Ford said they are also pretty sure it was due to the recall. Ford Crestview told me it could take WEEKS to diagnose, and then I would have to have a whole new engine/parts in which Ford won’t have until 2025. My car will be sitting at Ford for MONTHS. Ford does not care. They don’t care I almost died. I now do not feel safe in this vehicle. I get married on the [XXX], and I have a honey moon after. I depend on this vehicle for my job, etc. i am my dads caretaker who has cancer, and we had to skip his doctor appointment because my car was not available. His WHEELCHAIR fits in my car. Ford won’t give me a loaner vehicle until they diagnose it, and Ford Crestview informed me that they don’t even know if they will have a loaner vehicle. So what happens now? Cancel the wedding? Cancel the honeymoon? Keep canceling my dads doctor appointments and he will just pass away? Please help expedite this. Why would the dealership even diagnose it, when they technically have until 2025 when parts come in. Ford is not handling this well for over 100,000 people. This is for the OIL PUMP RECALL that almost made me lose my life. Someone take this seriously. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
