Core Safety & Technology

Common Problem

TL;DR
The 2019 Ford EcoSport has been plagued by significant issues, primarily related to oil pump failures leading to engine problems. These issues have resulted in recalls and class-action lawsuits. Owners report long wait times for repairs due to parts shortages.
Oil Pump Failure and Engine Issues
A recurring problem with the 2019 Ford EcoSport is oil pump failure, which can result in low oil pressure warnings and ultimately lead to engine seizure if not addressed immediately. Many owners have experienced complete engine failure, requiring engine replacement. This issue has led to a recall, although parts availability remains a challenge, leaving many without a vehicle for extended periods.
Recall and Legal Actions
There is an ongoing recall for the 2018-2020 EcoSport models due to these engine issues. However, the recall process has been slow, with parts shortages delaying repairs. In response to these widespread issues, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against Ford, citing the EcoBoost oil pump defect as a cause for engine failure while driving.
Customer Service and Support Challenges
Many owners have expressed dissatisfaction with Ford's customer service, particularly regarding the handling of warranty claims and the provision of loaner vehicles during repair waits ,. Some have reported that Ford refuses to cover repairs or provide immediate solutions, leaving customers without a working vehicle for months.
Additional Mechanical Concerns
Aside from the oil pump and engine issues, some EcoSport owners have reported other mechanical problems, such as exhaust leaks and overheating. These issues may or may not be related to the primary recall but contribute to the overall perception of unreliability in this model.
Community and Resources
Owners are encouraged to report their issues to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to help expedite recall processes. Joining online communities, such as the Facebook group "Ford EcoBoost Nightmare," can provide support and shared experiences from others facing similar challenges.
