2018 Ford Ecosport

I've just purchased the above-noted vehicle. It will be registered and titled to me within the next two weeks. The recall details note that the defect could result in engine seizure. When I reported this to my local Ford dealer (Team Ford, Las Vegas, NV, 2-19-2024) they could not tell me when replacement parts would be received to remedy the problem. Furthermore, any associated expenses would be my responsibility. I am seeking some acknowledgement of my complaint to avoid the possible expenses on my behalf.

I was losing oil quickly. One Ford dealership said there was a leak in my engine. 2 other Ford dealerships couldn't find said leak. On [XXX] I was taking my car in for an oil change when about 8 miles out my brakes stopped working. Per Jennifer Wilkes at Ford this was the issue "Good afternoon, I had to submit a claim to replace the long block of the motor as well as the turbo assembly and the vacuum brake booster. They are all bad and need to be replaced. I submitted a claim today to Ford for the repairs with your extended warranty. I am holding for approval at this time Allan Vigil Ford Lincoln" Per this recall, I should not have been charged for this repair. This was all related to the recall and I was charged $200 after my warranty. Please refund me. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Related to Safety Recall Notice 23S64/NHTSA Recall 23V905 On May 2, 2021, I was driving in cruise control and noticed that the car was struggling to maintain speed. After maybe 10 minutes or so of driving the car a warning light came on that I did not recognize. I pulled over and researched online to see what it could indicate. It said it was for oil pressure. I was maybe 20 miles from a town on a Sunday afternoon, so I drove it to the next town. Sometimes the warning light would flash and sometimes it would stay off for a time. In the town I bought a quart of oil, thinking that maybe the oil was low. It then started fine and drove normally for about 15 miles (I was about 15 miles from home by then) and then the oil pressure light came back on. I was able to drive the car home. When I turned the car on in the morning, the oil pressure light came on immediately, so I had the vehicle towed to the dealership. The repair report shows "Engine oil pump drive belt tensioner defective." There was damage to the engine, so they had to replace the engine, which cost me $6101.61 minus the cost of a rental car while the vehicle was being repaired. I received the safety recall notice in the mail today.
