NHTSA Complaint #11672578 — 2019 FORD ECOSPORT

I have had the same issue with my Ecosport since 04/2022 and have taken it to the ford dealership and been in contact with ford corporate multiple times. In March 2023 I had to replace the engine because it finally completely froze up and was told it was do to the oil pump tensioner. This was the fifth time I had taken it in. The check engine light came back on as soon as I left the dealership, I was told it just needed to reset. It started having issues again in August 2023 and every time I took it in it has been dismissed. I have spent thousands of dollars on repairs for this SUV. Today the check engine light came back on and it smells like smoke if you try to drive it, along with it being very slow to pick up speed and making the same odd noise as before the motor locked up the last time. I contacted ford and made another appointment today to get it checked. I also contacted ford customer service and was told that there is nothing they can do that I will once again be responsible for the cost of all repairs because the recall is not completely in place. This vehicle is not fixable or safe to drive. Ford informed me that the vehicle is now to old for them to be responsible for the fact that the car is not fixable despite the fact that they have been trying to fix it and charging me thousands of dollars while I am still paying on it. And knowing it was unsafe
