Consumer Description
While driving my 2018 ecosport, i got a warning of "low oil pressure". I thought my car was losing oil so I stopped. Checking the oil noticed that had all the oil and there was no leak. Next day took it to Pep Boys, since it was Sunday July 3rd, and told me the diagnostic (PO365 camshaft pos sensor) Ford warranty is of 60,000 miles (i have just under 88,000 on my car). They advised me to take it to my local ford dealership to have a second opinion, since they don’t do that type of job. Ford dealer confirmed the same problem, and if so, I would need a new motor because they do not open this type of motor to fix it. I contacted ford customer service to bring the problem to their attention and they told me there was nothing they could do. upon further investigation I have found this is chronic problem with the 1.0 turbo ecoboost engines and found a class action lawsuit (from CSK&D-FORD ECOSPORT ECOBOOST DEFECT -CLASS ACTION INVESTIGATION) started against ford for this specific issue, and they still will not help me cover the costs. I cannot afford to replace the engine and still owe too much on the car to try to trade it in. it has caused a major hardship on my fiancé and I, trying to find a jobs since this car was my UBER only job, while prices of parts and gas are skyrocketing. I have only had this car for 3 years and under 88,000 miles and it is completely undrivable due to the faulty and carless engineering.Started driving home and noticed a significant decrease in power and the engine ceased and died. Had car towed home.
