This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

My car can no longer accelerate and multiple lights came on, this all happened while i was driving and there was no warning signs that my car was about to do that it just happened out of nowhere while I was driving it.Now I can-??t drive my vehicle until it is repaired but the recall parts are still not available so I don-??t know what to do to fix my car.
On April 2nd, my cars dash said -??low oil engine pressure-?? with a severe dinging noise. I got an oil change and they said to take it to a mechanic, my local mechanic said the oil pump belt drive was at a loss of pressure, resulting in damage to my engine and oil pump. On 4/2/24 My local mechanic refused to fix it due to the recall and said that it should be fixed at Fords expense. On 4/14/24 I got my car towed to the Ford Dealer with my AAA membership, by the next day 4/15 I talked with service and we did not agree to a diagnosis because I knew parts would be out regardless of the diagnosis due to the Letter I received. The dealership was insisting on a diagnosis but I could not afford it out of pocket and Ford agreed that regardless of what the diagnosis said, parts for the low oil engine pressure are not available and could not be expedited because my vehicle doesn-??t run. They said my car could only sit for two weeks at the dealership since it is not actively seeking parts. They are looking for me to pay out-of-pocket until the program becomes available when the second part of the issue for recall is noticed. Ford issued a recall but said parts wouldn-??t be available until approximately August/24 or possibly later. Ford has not offered me any solution to this matter and they are not taking accountability for putting a defective product on the road. I have seen over 136k Ford Ecosport models 2018-2022 have been reporting this issue. My car is unsafe to drive.
On Feb 12th 2024 the low engine pressure light came on then went off. Then When I was driving on March 10th 2024 I was hearing loud noises as I was driving and then it was driving very slow. The next day March 11th 2024 as I was at a red light the car stopped working and the oil pressure light came on as well as the engine light and it said low oil pressure and engine failure on the screen. But before all of this i haven-??t had a problem with this and I just got the car 4 months ago. But now all this is happening and I had to tow my car to the ford dealership because it won-??t work or turn on anymore due to this recall issue. And now my car is in the shop with no remedy to fix it and I still have to make monthly payments on it.
A -?? engine oil pressure-?? message popped up on the dashboard of the vehicle while I was driving. The vehicle won-??t not accelerate fast enough to keep up with traffic and when it did accelerate it was impossible to slow it down. The engine is defective and failed in this vehicle.
I suspect that my 2019 Ford Ecosport computer system/car is being hacked/driven remotely. When I am driving the car it is turning in directions when I am not moving the steering wheel, the brakes are failing sometimes when I go to use them, as well as the brakes being applied when I am not using them, the digital displays and radio settings are changing without me doing anything, the car is reducing speed and speed accelerating when I am not controlling them from inside the vehicle. This started several months ago, so I will input todays date on the form. When I have taken the car for service and pa state inspection all components and parts are functioning accordingly without any problems being indicated. I am looking to have the hacking issue investigated. I am also sending information to the fbi internet crime complaint center.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Ecosport. After driving approximately 30 to 40 mph with the cruise control activated, the speed drastically reduced. Also, while the cruise control was set at 78 mph, the speed erroneously decelerated to 74 mph. The vehicle was taken to mullinax Ford (2317 state rd 44, new smyrna beach, fl), but they were unable to duplicate the failures. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 9,300.
