I live in Texas. Our daughter's car is inoperable due to recall from Ford and we have tried to contact ford customer relations and keep getting passed from person to person. The parts are unavailable and they don’t have a definite timeline. The dealership is also unable to get a response from Ford. I have also mailed a formal letter. The car has been inoperable since January 26, 2024. What can I do to get Ford to respond and provide a recall refund? They are unable to remedy in a timely manner and we cannot continue with the hardships from not having a vehicle for work, which requires travel.

My engine had blown under warranty. They had replaced the engine, which took two weeks once I got my car back, about a week or two later, check engine, lights and warnings pops back on. I return to Ford to assess the problem and they reassured me that the warnings were just because they replaced the engine and they should disappear shortly. Two weeks have gone by and the warnings were still there and my car had started driving awkwardly again. I returned to forward to get my car, repaired under warranty and receive a loaner vehicle to remain doing my every day job with. They did not have any loaner cars and did not have availability to work on my vehicle for three months. They called me with availability. My warranty was up and they were unable to fix my engine since I have lost the house I was...

The 1.0Liter engine in the car was running rough and occasionally the car wouldn't start and it was losing engine coolant with no visible leaks. I replaced all three of the spark plugs and ignition coils due to a misfire code on cylinder 2. My daughter drove the car back to college (approx: 90 miles) with no issues. But the next day the car wouldn't start so we had it towed to a local mechanic who analyzed the engine and determined engine coolant was leaking into the engine cylinders which had fouled the plugs and damaged the engine. The auto mechanic said the car needs a new engine as the compression is inadequate in cylinder 2 and there's engine coolant in the cylinder as well as in the exhaust system.

In June 2023 I got into a rear end accident with another vehicle. On my way to work. It was an accident where my brakes failed to stop my car. It was the weirdest accident, because I actually saw myself going into the back of the car in front of me but it was like my car failed to stop. I told Geico that my foot went through the break. And I have pictures of where my break pedal, broken half. The dealership had my car for close to two months and they never fixed it. They ignored my calls. I ended up going to the dealership and picking up my car. They gave excuse after excuse, and they never returned my calls. I took it to a local place to have my car fixed. The brake pedal is still half of what it used to be. I have an...

I was driving my 2018 Ford Ecosport to the grocery store when the warning light came on with "Low Oil Pressure Warning". My vehicle lost power in the middle of a very busy road, causing me to have to pull over immediately. I had it towed to a garage that happened to be a few blocks from this incident. After assessing the vehicle, I was told that no oil was going through the engine and that the tensioner belt along with other parts from the engine, were in the oil pan causing the engine to lock up. After being "scoped" by Hagerstown Ford dealership on 2/29/24, I was told that it would cost $5,700.00 for a new engine but there was no guarantee that this could not happen again. This is the 2nd incident on this vehicle that has caused issues that were extremely pricy and dangerous. This vehicle is...

I purchased the vehicle and not even two weeks goes by before I am going 55mph and the entire car started shutting down. I managed to get off the road. I had the vehicle towed to Klaben Ford in Warren where it took months to replace the engine and turbo. I finally get it back and not even 24 hours went by before it stalled going over railroad tracks. Klaben tells me they left a clamp on my engine and gave it back. I had it for two days before I had a loss of power again while turning left in an intersection. Luckily the oncoming traffic were extremely quick to respond and were able to stop before hitting me. This time they had my car for a week or two and gave it back finally working. Unrelated to this exact case, but Klaben also in that time had my...

In October 2023, my oil pump failed while on the freeway, resulting in total engine and turbo failure, severe emotional distress, and a substantial financial burden. I had to pay out of pocket to replace both components. In February 2024, the transmission failed on the freeway, increasing the financial burden already on my shoulders as Ford notified me they would not consider reimbursement for the money already spent on the engine and turbo replacement until 6-8 weeks after I file a report, and they will not allow me to file the reimbursement request until some point in April-June of this year. I drive for work and am now in an extremely difficult position due to the failure of multiple components resulting in serious mental, emotional, and financial duress. My safety was endangered in both cases as I was driving on the freeway in traffic. I do not believe a car...

This vehicle is currently under recall number Manufacturer Recall Number 23S64 and NHTSA Recall Number 23V905. This recall has caused the engine to seize up. The dealership I bought it from will not help with the recall and states that I could pay to have the engine replaced myself for 6000.00. The dealership acknowledges there is a recall on my car, they are having trouble getting the parts, but will not provide me with a loaner car until the parts arrive, and tried to pressure me into paying for a replacement engine out of pocket. They also charged me 138.99 to look at car and determine it is part of the recall. I had to pay to have it towed back to my house due to their inadequate service and non-help in this recall situation.

I've just purchased the above-noted vehicle. It will be registered and titled to me within the next two weeks. The recall details note that the defect could result in engine seizure. When I reported this to my local Ford dealer (Team Ford, Las Vegas, NV, 2-19-2024) they could not tell me when replacement parts would be received to remedy the problem. Furthermore, any associated expenses would be my responsibility. I am seeking some acknowledgement of my complaint to avoid the possible expenses on my behalf.

I was losing oil quickly. One Ford dealership said there was a leak in my engine. 2 other Ford dealerships couldn't find said leak. On [XXX] I was taking my car in for an oil change when about 8 miles out my brakes stopped working. Per Jennifer Wilkes at Ford this was the issue "Good afternoon, I had to submit a claim to replace the long block of the motor as well as the turbo assembly and the vacuum brake booster. They are all bad and need to be replaced. I submitted a claim today to Ford for the repairs with your extended warranty. I am holding for approval at this time Allan Vigil Ford Lincoln" Per this recall, I should not have been charged for this repair. This was all related to the recall and I was charged $200 after my warranty. Please refund me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO...

Related to Safety Recall Notice 23S64/NHTSA Recall 23V905 On May 2, 2021, I was driving in cruise control and noticed that the car was struggling to maintain speed. After maybe 10 minutes or so of driving the car a warning light came on that I did not recognize. I pulled over and researched online to see what it could indicate. It said it was for oil pressure. I was maybe 20 miles from a town on a Sunday afternoon, so I drove it to the next town. Sometimes the warning light would flash and sometimes it would stay off for a time. In the town I bought a quart of oil, thinking that maybe the oil was low. It then started fine and drove normally for about 15 miles (I was about 15 miles from home by then) and then the oil pressure light came back on. I was able...

I hope this message finds you well. My name is [XXX] and I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue I am currently facing with my Ford Ecosport 2018 WIN : [XXX] , which I purchased in August 2023. On [XXX], my daughter encountered a low engine oil pressure warning along with a strange noise while driving to school on the highway suddenly stopped. We promptly towed the car to the dealer, Gillman Honda, as we have an extended warranty. To our dismay, they asked for $1000 to investigate the issue, revealing a faulty oil pump tensioner that caused the belt to disintegrate. This led to small belt fragments clogging the oil pickup, resulting in engine oil starvation. Regrettably, the extended warranty does not cover this problem, and we were quoted $7500 for an engine replacement. Subsequently, I discovered that Ford has issued a recall for the...

Complete engine failure due to recall on oil pump belt tensioner (the known recall issue, issued Jan 2024) and Ford refuses to fix my vehicle because the "parts aren't ready yet" and won't be until the 3rd quarter of 2024. They have not provided a solution, offered compensation, etc. I am at a total loss considering I still have a loan out on the car and have only had it for three years. I have taken great care of my vehicle and have kept up with the necessary maintenance, oil changes, etc. I am under the mileage warranty but I believe the 5 year warranty is out. Regardless, there is a known recall for this exact issue and the diagnostic test came back that this is what caused the engine failure, yet Ford offers no solution, no timeline, no compensation, nothing. They didn't even offer to cover my tow or...

She stopped the car and towed the car to the dealership. They informed us to pay $1025 to open the engine for the diagnose and we had to agreed they told us once they pulled down the engine oil pan they found plastic and metal pieces. they first thought this was the timing belt tensioner that had come apart. later learned that it was the oil pump tensioner that gave out causing belt to come apart. The small pieces of belt clogged the oil pick up and starved the engine of oil. They told me my extended warranty doesn't cover the charges that I owe which is $1025 plus tax and replacement cost $7500 . I bought this car...

Started sounding like a rattle, or vibration, then started getting louder, over next few weeks got louder until it got to the point of sounding like a race car, or one of those kids with the modified exhaust. Today looked under the car and saw a pipe hanging, googled and found hundreds of people with the 2018 with the same issue. Ford dealership I bought it from wanted over $150 to “ diagnose “ the issue. When you can clearly see the pipe hanging. And obviously from all the other claims of 2018 flex pipe separating issues. Tried to trade in the car as is and was told by the same dealership that it would cost over $1000 in parts alone. I was so upset knowing I would owe more on the car then the trade in willing to give me I went home and searched the part. On the...

Prior to thatI also was at a stop sign when vehicle shut off on me and had to coast into a gas station with a long line of traffic behind me. Called Ford and filed a complaint. I also called the local Ford dealer when my car didn't want to start anymore and they told me they wouldn't even touch and it would cost them yo to $19,000 for a new motor.

The engine kept staling and needing to be jump started. This happended to the point where I loss all power at a light where I ended up causing traffic. This kept happening until my engine light turned on. After the engine light came on, my car could no longer start eventhough the battery was fine. I had a mobile mechanic look at the vehicle and they were unable to find what was wrong even after they had done an engine diagnostic where they had a lot of issues detected on the computer. I have been affected with this since October and as struggling college student I cant afford to have it towed to the dealership. As of January 2024 I have not been able to jump start my car at all even with a good battery. My car is now collecting dust parked on the street by my apartment.
