2018 Ford Ecosport

I was driving our 2018 Ford Ecosport at highway speed when the "low oil pressure" dashbord light came on. Within a minute or so, the engine stopped and I steered my vehicle to the side of the road. I was unable to restart the engine and had to have it towed to a Ford dealership. After the dealership ran a diagnistic on my vehicle, I was told that the oil pump had failed and that the engine siezed up.

Tailgate door unlatches while driving making the door ajar warning light appear on dash. The door has flung open, while driving. But usually only Makes internal cabin lights turn on. Door opens. While driving. Potentially can cause things to fall out of car while driving, could cause a wreck with cars behind me. It has not been recreated on command, but has happened many times. Dealership has inspected multiple times but no solution or anything found.the door ajar warning light comes on when the door latch fails. Warning light only appears when the issue happens. This happens once a week at least for the last 2 years

The engine kept staling and needing to be jump started. This happended to the point where I loss all power at a light where I ended up causing traffic. This kept happening until my engine light turned on. After the engine light came on, my car could no longer start eventhough the battery was fine. I had a mobile mechanic look at the vehicle and they were unable to find what was wrong even after they had done an engine diagnostic where they had a lot of issues detected on the computer. I have been affected with this since October and as struggling college student I cant afford to have it towed to the dealership. As of January 2024 I have not been able to jump start my car at all even with a good battery. My car is now collecting dust parked on the street by my apartment.

This has happened several times. While driving, the dashboard goes completely black. No gauges, no radio, no turn signals, no power steering, sometimes the wipers will work, no heat, no defrost. As suddenly as it went away everything comes back and the power steering causes the steering wheel to jerk in your hand. I’ve called Ford Customer Relations twice and they are not concerned that that is a safety issue. However, all the gauges went out last night and now won’t come back. I have video of the incident happening while driving but your website won’t allow me to upload it.

Oil pump belt failed and caused engine to be bad, per independent service center. I have copy of the invoice, but it would not let me upload. Car drove like normal, then one day got in the car and "engine oil pressure low" message came on and the check engine light came on. Drove a couple blocks to get gas, car broke down on the way back from gas station (less than half a mile) all warning lights on dash came on and engine shut off. Towed to repair shop, estimated repair cost (engine ruined) is $6,419
