Vehicle Information: •Year / Make / Model: 2018 Ford EcoSport Titanium 2.0L •VIN: [XXX] ] •Mileage: ~70,000 miles Problem Description: I am experiencing multiple engine and emissions-related issues on my 2018 Ford EcoSport at only ~70,000 miles. These include: •Check engine light illuminated continuously •P0016 – Crankshaft/Camshaft Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A) •P0017 – Crankshaft/Camshaft Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor B) •P0420 – Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold •All emissions-related lights, including camshaft indicator, are on •Vehicle is sluggish and struggles to accelerate These issues first appeared around 30,000 miles and recurred more severely at ~70,000 miles. The vehicle has been maintained according to manufacturer recommendations, with regular oil changes using the correct oil type. This appears to be a premature failure of timing chain/cam phasers and possibly catalytic converter components. I have checked for recalls and found none applicable to my 2.0L engine, and there are no known Technical Service Bulletins specifically covering this problem. I am concerned about safety and reliability, and I am submitting this complaint so that NHTSA can track these issues and determine if further investigation or action is necessary. Additional Comments: •I am aware of other Ford owners experiencing similar timing chain and cam phaser issues at low mileage (60k–80k miles). •I request that this information be considered for investigation into potential safety defect

The car suddenly lost oil pressure and the engine light came on. I immediately pulled to the side of the road and my vehicle was trailered to a Ford service center.

As I was driving in the highway the car began to loose power... it began to slip, it speeds up then goes down etc, once I slowed down but before coming to a complete stop the car shut down while I was exiting the highway. We could have been hit from behind if it wasn't that i had already been slowing down because the car didn't feel right. It has happened more than once, the slippage of power is constant. According to the codes and the diagnostic it was the turbo that needed replacement along with other things I have a video summary of the issues. However, this began right after my warranty expired and the engine had already been replaced due to another issue not even a year before. This car seems to be nothing but problems. You get the check engine light that comes and goes amd the "see manual" light which doesn't tell you anything other than it could be anything. This car is not even 10 years old... it's not high mileage. They seem to know that the turbocharge is an issue but nothing is done about it.

Diagnostic tool says "Loss of Communication with steering wheel column" "loss of connection with ABS module" and "loss of connection with power steering module"

After reviewing the latest service and inspection report was informed that the lug nuts are swollen and need to be replaced at a cost of $195.00 USD. After inspecting the vehicle lug nuts myself the marks on the outside of the nut show the pattern from the use of a twelve point socket when a six point socket should have been used. I replaced 14 of the 16 lug nuts on this vehicle but was unable to get 2 of them off; one on the left rear and the other on the right rear wheel. This style of lug nut; ie. 2-piece is a safety hazard as the two remaining wheels cannot be easily changed by the owner in the event of a flat or other issue. The information from the dealership was not totally correct as I was told they other portion was alumninum when my testing shows it to be steel. They said that they swell due to corrorsion of which there was none. How do I trust they are giving their customers the correct information when I hear this. Subjectively, I believe the original damage was caused by the service staff using a twelve point socket instead of the correct 19mm six point socket. You can see the marks left on the lug nuts in the include image.

My 2018 Ford EcoSport is subject to Safety Recall 23S64, concerning a defective oil pump belt and/or tensioner that can lead to engine failure. My VIN is listed in this recall. The engine has symptoms consistent with this recall, including performance loss, mechanical noise, and diagnostic codes such as P0014 (camshaft timing over-advanced), P0303 (cylinder misfire), and U0100 (lost communication with ECM/PCM). The vehicle is currently located at an authorized Ford dealership (Sunrise Ford of North Hollywood). However, the dealer has refused to perform the required diagnostic inspection unless I pay $1,084. This is a direct violation of federal law under 49 U.S.C. § 30120, which mandates that both diagnosis and remedy of safety-related recalls must be provided free of charge. I have also documented communication from the dealership and a written inspection from an independent licensed repair shop showing the engine is in as-found condition and that no repairs were attempted. I am seeking enforcement action to ensure that the recall is honored as required by law.

I purchased this vehicle on [XXX] Serra Ford in Farmington Hills, MI. It was certified by the manufacturer Ford Motor Company. I was told they remedied all issues/recalls. On [XXX] I experienced loss of power and oil pressure. We immediately returned it to the dealer for evaluation and repair. On May 12th they informed me that the vehicle needed a new engine. On May 27th I was told that they were waiting on parts. I was told on June 9th that the engine had arrived and it would be about 10 days to repair. Finally on June 18th I was told that they would not be replacing my engine and that they are unable to fix the recall that was causing all these issue. I reached out to the dealership and was not provided details offering oil pressure level read off the diagnosys to ensure the vehicle is safe. The recall states that loss of power braking increases the risk of a crash. For the safety of my family, I am hoping to avoid that. Refusing to remedy the recall by the manufacturer is unacceptable. THe dealership selling a vehicle that is not safe is also unacceptable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

We noticed rattling and misfiring sounds from the motor but no warning indications on the dash. 2 days later when my wife was coming home the car started losing power and "died". Would not restart but no warning lights on dash. The app did send a notice about loss of pressure to turbo. Had my wife not been near someplace to pull into she would have been stranded in the road in a disabled vehicle. Traffic was backed up behind her while she was trying to get out of the road. Had the car "died" while she was on the interstate doing 70 it would have been COMPLETELY without power steering AND brakes. The car has ONLY been serviced by our local Ford dealer. So we had it towed there. This morning they are telling us it's a problem with the "integrated exhaust manifold" that allowed water into the cylinders and ruined the engine. Believe they called that a cracked block years ago? Something that shouldn't happen to a car with only 66K miles. They assured us it wasn't the oil pump from the recall. We just paid it off a couple months ago. Now it needs a new $6,300 motor. Not something senior citizens only a year from retirement can easily swing. There NEVER was ANY indication (warning lights, etc) or warning from the dealer after service of any problems. It seems that Ford has more problems with this motor than just the oil pump!!

Loss of engine oil pressure, makes a very loud noise in the engine and causes the vehicle to become inhibited and cannot be used.
