2019 FORD ECOSPORT Engine Problems

The car lost oil pressure resulting in engine failure. When I went to take it to mechanic to diagnose I was told the oil pump belt and pulley system had failed resulting in a blown engine

On April 2nd, my cars dash said “low oil engine pressure” with a severe dinging noise. I got an oil change and they said to take it to a mechanic, my local mechanic said the oil pump belt drive was at a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to my engine and oil pump. On 4/2/24 My local mechanic refused to fix it due to the recall and said that it should be fixed at Fords expense. On 4/14/24 I got my car towed to the Ford Dealer with my AAA membership, by the next day 4/15 I talked with service and we did not agree to a diagnosis because I knew parts would be out regardless of the diagnosis due to the Letter I received. The dealership was insisting on a diagnosis but I could not afford it out of pocket and Ford agreed that regardless of what the...

The oil pump drive belt broken damaged the motor ford is aware of this but hasn't issued a recalled yet but in the mean time im stuck with out a vehicle and paying notes on and not eligible for a loaner car.

On [XXX], my 2019 Ford EcoSport came up with an alert that indicated to "see manual"; the manual indicated that this alert is due to the Powertrain. Hours later, I receive an alert with the engine oil symbol about the engine oil pressure low followed by the engine light appearing. I was able to get it into my dealership (Venus Ewald Ford in Cudahy, WI) the next day; it was informed to me later that day that these symptoms were due to the recall associated with the vehicle. It was a hassle obtaining a rental vehicle as the warranty states it "can only be a Ford Vehicle" I was told. On [XXX], I received a call from the dealership indicating that my rental vehicle was extended as they were waiting on a specific part from Ford. It is now [XXX] and I have not heard anything since 4/05/2024 about the...

My car will not start. My dash broad stated engine low oil pressure.

I have experience powertrain malfunctions, loss of engine power since June 2023. I had to have my vehicle towed to ford because I had no engine power. The engine was replaced in October and I still am experiencing the same exact issue. The engine light and power train malfunction alerts. I have reduced power and braking while driving. I brought the ecosport back to ford on March 22 2024 and I was quoted $2400 to replace the engine oil pump belt tensioner .when I brought in my vehicle I was never told by ford that this is the exact part that my vehicle has a recall on. My car still has not been fixed and is a safety hazard.

On Feb 12th 2024 the low engine pressure light came on then went off. Then When I was driving on March 10th 2024 I was hearing loud noises as I was driving and then it was driving very slow. The next day March 11th 2024 as I was at a red light the car stopped working and the oil pressure light came on as well as the engine light and it said low oil pressure and engine failure on the screen. But before all of this i haven’t had a problem with this and I just got the car 4 months ago. But now all this is happening and I had to tow my car to the ford dealership because it won’t work or turn on anymore due to this recall issue. And now my car is in the shop with no remedy to fix it and I still have...

During my commute from work on 9/19/22 in my 2019 Ford EcoSport my oil pressure light came on and I lost all engine power. A low oil pressure notification came across the vehicle's gauge system (above the steering wheel). I was able to get the vehicle home and contacted Conway Ford. After discussion with Conway Ford, I was told I could pay $600 for them to diagnose the vehicle. I reached out to my local mechanic, and he let me know that many of this make and model vehicle were having this same issue. He indicated I would need a new motor due to the way the vehicle was build. I spoke to the local dealership again and was told there were no replacement motors available for purchase. After paying for a vehicle for 18 months that cannot be driven and must be registered and insured (due to the car...

On 2/9/24 my Ford Ecosport went into complete engine failure. The dash indicator lights for oil pressure low/check engine light/powertrain malfunction while on my way home from work. I was in the turning lane at a stop light when the car died. The car lost all power and would not even turn on to get into a safe area. After pushing the car to the side- I had to call a tow truck ($154) to have the car transported to Ford. There they ran their diagnostic test ($225) and it was found to have the faulty oil pump. Because this "recall" I am told is only a "notice" - the cost to fix the car is quoted at ($9000) as it needs a whole new engine now. I am told they have "no clue" when they can fix it and I am now out a car and transportation to my...

Wednesday [XXX] as I am driving to pick up my son from work — my car was making a rattling noise - I took it to get an oil change prior to picking up my son as it was coming up due for one — and as I begin driving to pick up my son the Low Engine oil pressure light came on. I contacted ford motor company and created a case immediately. They informed me my next steps were to take car to dealership for a diagnosis. They assured me that the issue would be taken care of that ford has given them separate instructions for this recall specifically as they are aware it is serious and potentially costly that the dealership can contact (SSC?)- their internal department and request for repair coverage and rental coverage — Thursday [XXX] I took my vehicle as requested. A loner vehicle was...

- The engine oil pressure was lost due to the manufacture of the vehicle and now our vehicle is currently in the hop. We do not have reliable transportation to work. - Engine went down in the middle of the highway which cost our lives at risk -Problem has not been reproduced. - Has not been inspected - No warning I am needing to get in touch with Ford manufacture to supply a solution for providing me with transportation to my job. I have spent over +14,000 in car payment to have a reliable vehicle and for me to not have a car due to the manufacture is inexcusable. I am needing a rental car to assist me with my request. I cannot wait for 4 months until the "parts" to come into a dealership for my car to be repaired.

Our vehicle has had turbo problems for over a year and a half. The turbo was replaced once. Problems with rev hang and transmission rpm increasing randomly started happening. Then came the smell of gas/oil. The dealership had said it must be an internal problem because they couldn't find anything. Then most recently it was low oil pressure and the car dropping speed on the highway and not being able to get up to speed. It started making a rattling/clinking noise and wasn't driving well at all. It was towed on January 22, 2024, to the dealership. It has been at the dealership for three weeks now. The dealership is waiting on word from Ford on what to do for us because we are still under warranty.

I tried contacting Ford and they told me to contact the dealer. My car smells like burnt oil and then I got this recall notice. I called Yark and Brondes dealerships and both refuse to do a diagnostic on my car unless I pay them for a 1/2 day's wages or $160 or more. They both acknowledged knowing about the recall. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and am really upset they won't do a free diagnostic to confirm I do not have a fractured engine oil pump drive belt tensioner arm. My Powertrain is still under warranty, and they still will not do the diagnostic free unless I have a problem. If I do have a problem, they don't have the part to fix it. In the meantime, I risk burning up my engine or having it catch on fire. I park my car in an...

While driving at freeway speed, no oil pressure warning came on and car lost power, pulled to side of highway and checked oil level, oil level fine (had just had it in to a ford dealer for service 3 days prior). Took immediately to closest ford dealer who refused to look at it (suspicious). Had it towed to family mechanic, who was able to ascertain (through research) this possible oil pump issue. Towed to closest ford dealer, who claimed it would be ready in 2 weeks. Took two months, requiring rental of car (was moving across country) and then payment of transport of vehicle across country. No communication or very little with only a “will be ready any day now” for the two months. At this point I am looking for reimbursement for the repairs along with reimbursement for additional costs incurred. (I also had to fly my finances to...

While driving on the highway my car started making a clicking and knocking sound, sputtering. Then a loud sound and my oil pressure and engine light came on. I couldn’t accelerate anymore. I pulled over and had it towed.

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...

The oil pump tensioner associated with recall 23V905 failed and as a result of trying to get to a safe location when the part failed the engine experienced a catastrophic failure. Ford is aware of the issue and will not do anything until the recall is amended to cover the catastrophic engine failure that the recalled part caused

Stalling, jerking, losing power

engine oil pressure light came on parked car. had towed to dealership .ford dealership says oil pump failed need engine replacement

I was attempting to get on interstate 480, and was having a hard time accelerating. I almost got hit from behind on several occasions as I worked my way back off the freeway. I’ve been advised that my engine is no good.

I was driving the car and the "low engine oil pressure" light came on and warning sounds were also providing attention. The car egine started to make grinding noises. I pulled into the closest safe parking lot and truned off the car.

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...

recall Out of nowhere my car began to struggle to accelerate and ultimately in the middle of driving up a rather steep hill, my car cut off on me completely i almost collided with another car trying to get out of the middle of the road because the car was showing down significantly. the engine light and the oil light came on and a "low engine oil pressure" alert was coming on as well. this problem began three months before cutting off on me on the road and ford tried to tell me it was from not getting frequent oil changes and that was not correct my car was up to date. they quoted be me $10,000 for repairs and offered me $800 for my car based off of these problems when a trade in was suggested. i know they were trying to take advantage of me. i have no...

Car currently isn’t driveable due to vehicle stopping on the highway. Engine light came on and oil pressure was lost. I can’t wait till recall to get car fixed nor can afford repairs

Oil pump belt broke and created engine damage on the way to the Ford dealership.

August 29, 2023 I was coming to a stop sign and when accelerating from the stop noticed a clung sound from the engine bay of the vehicle and then the low oil pressure warning illuminated. I immediately pulled off the road and shut down the car. I checked the oil level it is good so I had the car towed to my local Ford dealer. They determined that the engine oil pump tensioner let loose and causing catastrophic damage requiring an engine replacement. My vehicle was affected by the service bulletin built before April Ford offered no assistance for me since failure occurred 77800 I’ve owned the vehicle around 7 months at the time bought at 65000 did not receive my vehicle back until mid October with no assistance on a rental vehicle or with the 6000+ repair bill.

I was driving down the highway and lost complete power. Luckily was able to pull on shoulder before being hit by other vehicles on the road. Ecosport would no longer power on. Had towed and learned that the timing belt had failed due to lack of oil pressure. According to ford, the only way to fix the issue was by replacing the entire motor which took over 3 months to repair. The new motor sounds terrible and scares me every day now. I’m just waiting for a repeat.

I was on my way to work and I had a notice of low engine pressure and my check engine light and maintenance signal came on. It felt as though the car could not accelerate and I heard a "whistle sound". I had just had the oil change a few days prior and nothing was found wrong then. I had it taken to the dealership and they said I will need an entirely new engine and that there were metal and rubber pieces in my oil and in my oil filter. The Moses Ford dealership has told me it is at least 3 to 4 months wait for an engine(currently has been waiting for 1 month now) and has refused to give me loaner vehicle. Ford has also refused to help with a loaner unless I pay for it and my warranty company has also said they cannot help with...

January 2nd 2024 at 4:45pm driving at the speed of 57 mph on the highway. Alert appeared on my dashboard Low Engine Fuel. The vehicle was slowing down and there was a loud knocking sounds. My safety was at risk due to ongoing traffic which my speed was dangerously reduced. I was able to make it to the Ford AutoNation Dealership which conducted a diagnostic test results was an engine replacement. Ford Dealer never brought up a recall on the engine oil pump part. I had to notify them after finding out myself with research. CarFax and KellyBlue sent out alerts about this after my accident on January 4th 2024. The vehicle has been in great condition with upkeep of oil changes, tire rotations and brakes. All of the vehicle services and repair was at a Ford dealership. Currently my vehicle mileage is 64,861.

My drive belt or timing belt or something broke earlier this year due to unknown reasons, while travelling 65 mph on the highway. I have been unable to afford repair and was even without a vehicle for an extended period of time because of this. The engine required a special tool for my repair person to fully determine the cause and issue. However, since he did not own said tool, the engine has not been fully assessed. However, the engine no longer works and the vehicle does not run. It has remained parked for months. I saw that the NHTSA was investigating potentially faulty oil pumps on these vehicles (2019 Ford EcoSport) and believe that this issue also affected my vehicle, as well. It would explain a lot of unexplained things. I purchased the vehicle brand new from the dealership. My name is [XXX] on the purchase documents, however it...

After a few near death experiences and being stranded several times, my 2019 Ford EcoSport has had a new Sync 3 system, EVAP, and 2 “new” engines. And it’s still not functioning properly. (Was shooting out black smoke, jerking, stalling, screen blackout.) Jerking and the screen blacks out. But according to Ford, it’s ok to drive. Might be the transmission -after a complete diagnostic test and test drive. The car cuts off (not from the start/stop feature).

It gave me an engine code saying there was a connection issue but the car was drivable and that i needed to schedule service. No code saying your engine is failing. It was the holidays. Dealers were closing so i figured I'd call and schedule it for service. Never got the chance as it seized up on the interstate at 60mph. Thankfully i was able to safely get it to the emergency lane and then towed to the dealer. They are now saying i need a new engine due to oil pump failure and are refusing to cover the cost. I feel like this is due to there malfunction and they should be responsible.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford EcoSport. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the low oil pressure warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact pulled over and checked the oil level, and the oil level showed full. The contact drove the vehicle to the gas station and added oil however, the failure persisted. While driving to the dealer, the Auto Start/Stop, Shift to Park, and Restart warning light illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer and was awaiting the repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,576.

So back on June 25th, I noticed that I got a low oil pressure warning on my dashboard and a wrench and red oil icon on the dashboard as well. I got my oil checked at Take 5 and they said oil level was o good and to see a mechanic. I took it to Midas next door, and I had total engine fail from a broken timing belt, and a broken oil pump. I had got this car used at 47k miles and had to replace the engine at 52k miles for $9,000. This car even had issues with it going into limp mode but Midas fixed it while I spent hundreds at Ford for diagnostics and they couldn’t figure it out. This seems to be a common problem with Ford EcoSport and hopefully there can be an investigation into the poor design of their engine and turbo boost....

Oil pressure drop with noticeable loss of power. Loss of Turbo. Engine is full of oil and has been maintained but engine is not being lubricated. Engine parts are grinding.

Low Oil Pressure. I had to get a whole new engine with only 95,000 miles.

The failure mileage was approximately 61,000. The VIN was not available.

On the evening of 12/20/2023 suddenly the loss of engine oil pressure with an illuminated oil pressure warning lamp came on and the engine started knocking loudly. Then as we pulled out of traffic into a parking lot spot it died and would not restart. We were in heavy traffic and if we were not able to exit as quickly as we did our family would have been stranded and blocking in the heavy traffic. Was able to start it after it cooled but the engine continued to knock and within 1 minute the oil pressure warning lamp came on. We have not taken it to a repair shop as it is at 61k miles. I had to have it towed home and are currently in a out of pocket rental. It will have to be towed for any type of service.

My car drove fine up until the 12th. I hoped in my car to go get some medicine at target which is 8 minutes away from them. My car began to make really loud noises and my oil light came on. I knew it was within the time for me to get another routine oil change. I bought one quart of oil just to hold me over for two days. I started my car to go home and my engine light and oil light and maintenance light all came on and my car would not drive over 45mphs. When you would press the gas, it would stall for a second. Thursday, I went for my oil change and was turned away due to the sound of my car and also the man smelled my dipstick and gas was in my oil. I was told to immediately take my car to...
