2018 Ford Ecosport complaints

I had brought my vehicle multiple times in 2024 to the Route 23 auto mall prior to me receiving a recall notice. The check engine light kept coming on and off and they told me that there was nothing wrong with my vehicle. I then received a recall notice in around the end of July 2024 and contacted them to complete the recall. I brought my vehicle in August 2024 and they told me that they would not be receiving the parts for the recall until March of 2025. I was told that I can still drive the car until then as it was not a safety hazard. That same day I went home and parked my car in front of my house. I was leaving to go to work and the car would not start. I had to call a tow truck to tow the car to the dealership. The manager told me that I would need to get a new motor and it would only take a few days. I asked for a rental car in the mean time. I then got my car back with the new motor almost 6 months later. I picked up my car from them and they gave me a certificate for the new motor. Fast forward to April of 2025 and my car again would not start. I had to have it towed to the dealership once again and this time it took 3 weeks to get it fixed. They said that the hose was ripped in half which causes anti-freeze to leek. They told me that it had nothing to do with the recall and that I had to pay $200.00 out of pocket. The car is still not fixed as per recall because the same parts were put on the car. I tried to get rid of the car and no dealership will by it. I looked

On Monday, [XXX] the ‘low engine oil pressure’ light came on in my car. It quickly turned off but then came back on and flickered off a second time. The third time it came on, it stayed on and my car slowed of its own accord before coming to a complete stop due to engine failure. I was on [XXX] (a major state highway with 65mph speed limits) on my way home from work. I was able to get over to the shoulder just milliseconds before the engine completely stopped working. Thankfully I was able to move over safely because I could’ve been hit by other motorists on the highway had my car come to a standstill in the middle of the lane. This issue has been confirmed by my local Ford dealer (Haldeman Ford Hamilton) to be related to the recall on the vehicle. Ford has been pushing back the availability for replacement parts for this recall for months. They still don’t have the parts available even though the recall notice was initially sent out in 2023. The dealership told me it could be 3-6 months before the parts are available to fix my car. I was told they had no loaner cars available for me because of all the other customers who are also having these issues with their Ford EcoSports and are currently using loaner cars. I was informed I’d have to wait 2-3 weeks for a loaner car to become available and in the meantime, I was responsible for finding my own transportation to/from work. Ford informed me they would not reimburse me for the cost of a ride-share service like uber nor would

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2018 Ford EcoSport, which is affected by Recall 23S64 related to a serious engine defect. I am currently making payments on this vehicle, yet it continues to be unsafe and unreliable, with repeated engine issues that have not been resolved despite temporary repairs. I purchased the car in May 2024 from a dealership. Within two hours of driving it off the lot, the car began to shake, and the check engine light started flashing. It could not accelerate properly or keep up with traffic, and I had to return it for repairs, where it stayed for approximately two weeks. More recently, while driving two hours away from home, I experienced another severe incident. The car again began to shake, and multiple warning lights appeared on the dash: the check engine light, engine oil pressure light, and the "See Manual" warning. Once again, the vehicle was unable to accelerate safely, putting me and others on the road at serious risk. I was told this was connected to Recall 23S64, and an interim engine replacement was performed. However, even after this, I am still experiencing ongoing engine issues, including shaking, poor acceleration, and a flashing check engine light. This recall has been open since December 2023, and Ford initially stated that remedy parts would be available by the end of Q1 2025. It is now late April 2025, and there are still no parts available and no updated timeline. I have reached out to Ford and th

My vehicle was identified as part of the safety recall in 2023. In 2024 my car started struggling and the low engine oil pressure warning started showing on my dash. The check engine light and service soon indicator lights started showing on the dash as well. The car was just past 71,000mi. When I purchased the car it was at about 60,000mi. Since the issues seemed related to the recall I went to a Ford dealer. My car was checked with the dealer and I was given a loaner vehicle. I was told that my car’s engine needed to be replaced. I drove a loaner car from September 2024 to April 2025 as my car waited for an engine to be sent to my dealer. Once the engine was replaced I was told that I also would have to purchase a battery since my car hadn’t been driven for so long. I now have my car returned to me but I am nervous to drive it with the same recall issue still outstanding. Parts for the recall remedy were announced to be available by the end of the first quarter of 2025 but they are not. There is also not any updates to when parts will be available.

I had a recall for my 2018 Ford EcoSport vehicle. while driving my vehicle the car just lost power and stopped. I was in the middle of the road when this happened, I tried to make it to the side as best as i could. The car was not drivable so i had to call a tow truck. I did know there was a recall, but was never told what, nor that it could cause engine failiure and possibly a crash. My safety was put at risk, this car should have been placed on a STOP SALE as this could have been more serious. My engine had to be replace however; now the transmission and torque converter are bad, i feel this is due to the engine seizing up and it affected the transmission. I am told i have to pay for this to be fixed now, how is this even happening. I have driven this vehicle for 4 months out of 6. My engine light came on and then the care just stopped working, i had little to no warning. I don't even want this car now as i am scare more will go wrong with it. THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN SOLD WITHOUT THE RECALL OF AN ENGINE BEING FIXED FIRST. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT, THANK GOD IT DIDNT. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! I have no documents yet as I was told they would email them hours ago and still nothing. The only reason i knew about the STOP SALE, was the sales person stated that it should have had this on the vehicle and he is not sure why it didn't.

Ever since I purchased the vehicle, the screen that shows the system warnings and the speed that is right in front of the steering wheel goes out and turns completely dark and it will do this at weird moments. I haven’t noticed anything to cause this. I have replaced the battery and gone for an inspection and they can’t seem to figure out why it’s doing this other than the vehicle should be recalled. As this only happens every now and then but can be dangerous as if it goes out while driving home I supposed to know my speed or anything if I’m looking at the screen obviously I know that there is another speedometer on the right for speed, but either way it should not be happening. I am not sure if it would show if I went in for another inspection as I said it kind of does it on its own and at weird times. My safety is put at risk due to the fact that I cannot see what speed I’m going if that screen goes out other than looking at the speedometer that they give you in the car on the right side in front of the steering wheel. I wouldn’t be able to tell what kind of system warning I have because it pops up on that screen. There’s a lot of things that could happen where safety is concerned when that screen does go out. As I said before when I did go to a Ford dealership and got it inspected, they did notice that that happened but weren’t able to figure it out at the time and we were able to confirm it was not a battery issue as they did replace the battery in the vehicle.

I am writing to you about my 2018 EcoSport. I have been waiting for the parts to come into the dealership since the recall, and yet the parts still have not arrived. I have been having problems with my car before I got it fixed. Now I am having problems with my breaks. I've asked one of the service workers if it was ok to drive it, which he said it was okay. When I left the dealership, I was close to having a wreak, hence why I am writing to you all to let you know that someone needs to notify the dealership to make them aware that I need a rental car until they can fix my car completely before I get into an accident. Please get back with me as soon as possible,

Today (March-25-2025) a light came on saying "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE" when I was driving home from work. I pulled in the driveway and turned the car off, checked the oil and noticed it was completely full. I am still waiting on a recall for this vehicle since last year, and since my wife and I both work, and have kids to take care of, not having a vehicle is definitely a problem.

I have been waiting on the recall to be fixed for almost 2 years now. I've contacted Ford more times than I can remember, and they don't do anything other than say it's not available yet. I have had to replace the transmission, had many small repairs thinking it was something other than the recall. (I've paid over 2.5k in repairs and 1k in Ubers out of pocket) has 49000 miles, and I do not feel safe driving it at all. I will go somewhere that's within 5 miles, so I know I won't be stuck too far or on the highway, so it is causing MANY inconveniences as well as money for Uber etc. It is paid off and I'm going crazy trying to get this fixed. This is absolutely ridiculous, and I'm beyond FED UP! I keep looking to find a car similar that is NOT a Ford, but they're all too expensive and I don't think it's right I have to pay for FORD'S mistake!

1. The vehicle jumps when being put into gear and sometimes slips or is delayed as well. It also has a sound that goes along with it. This has been a problem since the first started driving the vehicle. Like many issues with this vehicle it is not consistent, however I estimate that this happens 75% of the time. 2. I have bumped are in my car port multiple times. I've stayed very vigilant as, it has jumped a couple times when I'm in a parking lot at a busy shopping area and people are walking in the lot. It feels very unstable and unpredictable. The whole car jerks. 3. I have been to the dealership for other issues related to the auto start stop not working and engine failure from the 23V905 recall. I am not sure if this was part of the inspections. 4. There are no warning indicators for this. It happens and is jarring. Note below, it is not one incident date, it is constant.

1. The back up camera and screen glitch, freeze, go black unpredictably. 2. I've backed into objects, thankfully so far nothing that has caused major damage. It is potentially very dangerous, as sometimes it freezes mid back-up and there is an optical illusion. 3. I'm not quite sure what the question is. The problem is intermittent, and to have all of the issues with the vehicle checked is cost prohibitive and time prohibitive. It malfunctions out of nowhere. 4. I do not know if the dealership inspected when they replaced my engine and turbo , then 3 days later vacuum hose as a "temporary" band aid to the unresolved safety recall 23V905. 5. There is no warning which is dangerous.
