Recently, with the recall part replaced in January 2026, I got my car back and in May 2026 while driving, my car once again loss power. Going from 50 to coasting.

   So my car is about to be out of warranty and I have called and made two appointments to get my recall taken care of as it is a safety risk for me and my kids.

After two weeks I believed my car will be over the 60k mark putting me out of warranty and voiding them to fix any issues that occurred because of this…

   Engine and Transmission failed at 46,000 miles even though under a extended warranty Ford short changed us to where we had to pay $7200.00 to get the car fixed. This car is the worst for failures of the powertrain. Never will buy another Ford ever.

    Before 58000 miles my 2019 Ford EcoSport began experiencing serious drivetrain issues. The car grinds when going uphill, shakes and shudders when accelerating, and the RPMs surge up and down erratically. A certified Ford dealer diagnosed it as a transmission-related problem, (torque converter which I understand to be an issue with these cars)and Ford has only offered partial financial assistance (45%) for a $3,000 repair. These symptoms pose a potential safety issue,…
