2019 Ford Ecosport

The contact owns a 2019 Ford EcoSport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled and inadvertently jerked, and the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with fuel injection failure and metal shavings inside the engine. The engine was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

While driving home from work, the low engine oil pressure light came on. I immediately pulled over and checked the oil. There’s plenty. I continue to drive and start hearing a knocking sound. My check engine light is now illuminated as well as low engine oil light and the wrench and the display says SEE MANUAL. I parked. I’m being told my mechanic that the engine needs to be replaced. This happened at 67,000+ miles.

Engine had felt off for a couple days it as if it had bad gas or something. Since no warning lights were illuminated I was trying to keep a close eye on it. Then on my way home from work the oil pressure light came on. I pulled the vehicle over and got it towed to the dealership. Just paid $170 for diagnosis to be told the dealership quoted 7275.39 replace the engine among other parts(other things that could have messed up with the loss of oil pressure & labor before tax. I still owe approx. $6000 on the vehicle. the vehicle had approx. 69,000 miles but under 70,000. How is this a thing? How can a vehicle fail that fast without warning? I was luckier than some that I have seen with the same issue when reviewing what has happened. I think premature engine failure without warning is pretty dangerous It was very scary at 60mph with not shoulder to pull over with. How is this such a widespread problem with no recall? I reached out to Ford Customer Service to see if they would offer any assistance since it was so close to powertrain and was denied. Now I have a 2019 car with less than 70K miles that is costing me money that almost got me killed when it broke down with no Failed with no warning? So many stories similar to my owe when I read the complaints, every one as if it was coming from me! Ford has to be held accountable!!!!
