NHTSA Complaint #11546922 — 2018 FORD ECOSPORT

I am writing to report a serious safety issue related to an engine failure in my 2018 Ford EcoSport Titanium. The incident occurred on August 2nd, 2023, at approximately 8:17am. I bought the vehicle in July 2020 from a well-known Ford dealer in the area. I was about to go shopping that morning. I started the engine as usual, and I got the message on the dashboard that said "Low Engine Oil Pressure" with a little oil lamp on the up left front of the board. As soon as I saw it, I stopped the engine and called the dealership. I scheduled an appointment. The closest appointment was one week away. I did not drive the car that day till the day of the dealership's appointment. After diagnosis, the dealership told me that the engine died, and my warranty expired one month ago. (July 2023 or 60000 miles). My car was at the dealer for a routine service 3 months ago and there was not a problem. The car died without any prior sign of oil leakage or any other signs. I have read other people with the same small SUV that had the same problem. I think the NHTSA needs to investigate the engine failure of Ford EcoSport.
