I checked my Ford App, stating check engine light is on due to low fuel system pressure, poor fuel quality/restricted fuel filter causing limited engine power until resolved. I immediately had my car towed in this case of emergency to the Frontier Ford Dealership to get this resolved. I was told after diagnostic I will be notified if under recall. I was emailed to pay out of pocket for the diagnostic repairs on 1/29/25. Then emailed by CARFAX about the new recall #23V905 that is overdue for my car on 2/14/25. I am currently paying for a car without a free rental and have been out of work for 3 months. I can't afford to pay out of pocket to Frontier Ford Dealership.

I realize there is an open recall of 23V905. As well, my vehicle did experience a loss of oil pressure which caused the engine to fail. My local Ford Dealership DID replace the engine. However, the recall is still open given the fact the oil pump is still part of the original recall. My frustration is that this recall has been opened since February 2024 and there is no time frame of the repair and closing of the recall and Ford Motor Company refuses to take a complaint on it and has not communicated to their dealerships as to the time frame.
My car is at risk it has a powertrain and a w d failure when I am driving in the middle of the street or the expressway it stops in the middle of the expressway and loses power loses everything where me and my family could be at risk for a very serious accident leading to death in the middle of the highway or in the middle of the road as I am driving the car loses power and stops in the middle of the road. The manufacturer should be responsible for this because this is obviously something that needs to be fixed where it could be causing my death or my family's death while on the road. My car stops more than six times from the moment that I leave my house even as I am on the road it will literally stop 5 to 6 times losing power in the middle of the street that could cause a potential situation or deathly this needs to be fixed as soon as possible. I should not be responsible for these damages because it is obviously a malfunction of the manufacturer.
When I drive this vehicle, sometimes it will lose all power even at 55 miles an hour. It comes up ...power reduced brake applied. I can't give it gas or anything. It lasts about 10 seconds.
My vehicle has 19,800 miles on it and is now facing 1100 in repairs for a fuel pressure sensor that has failed. The dealership, Lafayette Ford Lincoln of Lafayette, Indiana, claims this is a normal wear and tear item. Despite the fact that I have the Platinum extended coverage they say that it is normal for fuel system parts to fail with such little use. This is the third major item on this vehicle to need repair. I currently have a recall that the manufacturer has not contacted us for a solution and we had the thermostats go out at 15,000 miles. Nearly causing damage to the engine. When speaking to corporate service they say that these items are also wear and tear despite there being so little tear. In the platinum package brochure they make mention of "it being easier to say what is not covered" and do not exclude sensors or tubes in the brochure. After a quick Facebook search for issues with EcoSport's it seems that this has many reports from other owners. I tried to speak with corporate supervisor and was placed on hold where they then hung up on me. It seems that when I pointed out that this might be a car issue they became defensive. I believe this is a bigger issue for this vehicle and this engine. If my car fails at 19,000 miles what is to say other failures are not related.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
