NHTSA Complaint #11565880 — 2019 FORD ECOSPORT

When I was driving on the freeway about an hour away from home, I got a light on my dash for "Low oil pressure." I immediately pulled off to the side and turned my car off. In the middle of a rainstorm and in the dark I checked under the hood and checked the oil level and it was normal. Remind you I got oil changes very frequently when recommended and at this time I got an oil change about 4 weeks before. I called a tow serve to have my car taken to my local mechanics shop. Immediately, the mechanic thought the worst and said it sounds like it might be an engine rebuild. He saw this issue before on other Ecosports as of recently with a degrading wet oil belt. That is what this issue was. The oil belt teeth were degrading and the arm holding the oil pump belt separated, causing loss of engine oil pressure. My engine was replaced after a week of being in the shop and it came with a very expensive mechanics bill.
