Consumer Description

Our 2018 Ford EcoSport with less then 50,000 miles had an engine failure while driving on the highway. This was due to the loss of oil pressure. We were out of the warranty by just a few weeks and Ford provided no help or support. We found out that this was a common problem with the engine on this style car but again there was zero support or help from Ford. The old pressure light came on while on a road trip with my wife. Once the light came on the car stopped accelerating so we pulled off the highway and took or car to the nearest Ford Dealership. They told us the engine was destroyed and needed to be replaced. Again we were offered zero support or answers from Ford and we had no choice but to pay over $7,000 to get a new engine in a year old car with less then 50,000 miles.
