2018 Ford Ecosport Engine Problems

“Low engine oil pressure came on, headed straight to the dealership but the car died three miles away from the dealership while turning left onto 501. Monday 06/15/2020 Ford informed me that they didn't know what happened but I will need a complete new engine.”

“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. …”

“I am writing to you as I have many concerns about my Ford EcoSport. As I commute to my job or drive to pick up errands, my car suddenly stops. I would make a complete stop and I forget to press the Start/Stop button to disable it from shutting off the engine. This has happened several times and I have taken in my car before and all of the Ford dealerships and service workers have no idea of what the problem is or why it is doing this so frequently. I try to start my car and for some reason, it is not starting properly. …”

“Low engine pressure messaged came on and check engine light. Overheating light beeped saying coolant is hot so I turned on heater to cool down and pulled over. Made an appointment with ford dealership for them to tell me cracked cylinder head due to coolant leaking into system. Of course by the time it got looked at the dealership it was slightly over 100000 miles. I’ve read along with hearing from ford that this has been common complaint with this model. Then I’m told to get a new engine that it’s on back order for 6 months to a year! …”

“I have 2018 Ford Ecosport and the auto shutoff/restart was not working right. When I stopped at a light it shut off and didn't start again it had stalled this happened about three times. Then as I was driving it stalled again as I was driving off the highway on a ramp and I couldn't stop and hit the car in front of me which was about four car lengths ahead my airbags deployed and my car has severe damage. Have there been any other incidents of this kind. I was lucky no one was hurt but someone else might not be so lucky”
