NHTSA Complaint #11550684 — 2019 FORD ECOSPORT

My girlfriend was driving and all of a sudden the low oil pressure sensor goes off on the dashboard, and the car starts shaking violently from the engine. After towing the vehicle to our local mechanic, they confirmed that this was an engine problem due to issues surrounding the oil pump in these vehicles. We towed the vehicle a second time to ford to have the engine replaced. This is apparently a known issue among 2018-2019 Ford EcoSports with the 1.0 L engine that leads to oil pump failure and destroys the engine. The dealer also found this issue and is covering it under warranty, but this was a serious safety hazard as it occurred while my girlfriend was driving home, and could’ve easily caused an accident on the busy road she was driving on. There are a multitude of reports of this same thing happening to hundreds of others online. The recall for this engine must be issued sooner rather than later.
