NHTSA Complaint #11570047 — 2019 FORD ECOSPORT

Received an oil pressure error message. Came on and went off multiple times. Finally came on and stayed on. Car started driving sluggishly and check engine light came on. Before I could find a place to safely pull over, the wrench icon appeared and my car lurched forward twice and then the battery light came on. I was able to put on my flashers and pull off the side of the road right before the car died. It would not even restart. I had to call for a tow and it was taken to a local Ford Dealership. It was inspected and verified that the issue was due to the recall on the vehicle and that a new motor and turbo are needed. The dealership was however told that Ford would not cover the cost of repairs because the recall is still in advance status. They were instructed to tell me I could pay the $5,600 for repairs and keep receipts to try to get reimbursed at a later date. They will not repair at their cost nor will they issue me a loaner vehicle.
