2019 Ford Ecosport: fuel pump failure

Filed Jun 24, 2024 · Engine, Fuel system · GA

Almost 6 months ago, my car began to malfunction. It would not start at all. I paid $500 to have a mechanic diagnose the issue and replace the battery, but nothin worked. I had to have the car towed to the Ford dealership, and they advised me that my engine had failed due to a defect in the fuel pump tensioner, which was an issue that was under recall. They told that they could not do anything to repair the issue, however, because the recall had not been officially published. It has now been nearly six months with my vehicle sitting at the dealership, unusable, because Ford refuses to repair it until the recall comes out. They have also refused to provide a rental or loaner car so I have been out of a vehicle.

Oil flow light came on and I went to Walmart to have oil changed and to make sure oil filter was good. went to leave Walmart and oil flow light came on again. they took back in to take another look at it and could find anything noticeable. I was then told I should take it to a mechanic cause to him it seemed like the fuel pump wasn't flowing oil properly. I started home and while on the interstate I started smelling gas and the car started making a very loud whistling noise, like a teacup whistle. I was going 70mph and all of a sudden, the car jerked and quickly went to 30mph with all lights coming on. Had a tractor and trailer quickly coming upon me that had to serve to the next lane to keep from hitting me and almost hitting yet another car in that lane. Could get the car to get up past 30mph so I pulled off to the side of the road and once coming to a complete stop vehicle shut off and wouldn't restart. Had vehicle towed to a garage where I was informed that I need a engine replacement.

The low oil level indicator light went on while I was driving in my 2019 Ford EcoSport. I stopped at an auto parts store and had them add oil. The light did not go off when we tried to clear the sensor. I drove it home (about a mile) and it struggled to pick up speed and the engine started to knock. I did some research on the model and the government is currently looking into to this issue and there are several lawsuits. All have indicated they were just out of the warranty and the entire engine needed to be replaced. It is going to cost me thousands of dollars to fix this. I was told that there is not indication that there are any issues with the engine or fuel pump until it is too late. There is an open case with the federal safety agency (SSM 48093) so this is a very well known issue and will continue to get worse with other EcoSport drivers as they near 60,000 miles. It is HORRIBLE business practice to do this to customers. I now have to pay thousands of dollars for a problem I did not know about it was too late. Ford needs to take responsibility for this.
