As with HUNDREDS of other owners of the 2018 Ford Ecosport, I have encountered a safety issue with Low Oil Pressure which causes the engine to shut down. There has been a NHTSA Service Bulletin issued but still not recall and this issue is extremely dangerous and absolutely kills the engine. A small recall fix could save lives and save owners from a repair that costs in excess of $5,000. Below is the Service Bulletin but it needs a recall. I've spent all day on the phone with Ford and all they will say is that they have no recall. Below …

Last week, my 2018 Ford Ecosport had the engine pressure oil light come on as I was merging onto the highway. I stopped driving immediately and had it towed but it didn't matter, the engine is ruined. I looked it up when I got home and FORD knows about this! They could have easily issued a recall. Luckily I was able to leave the highway right away or god knows what would have happened.

While driving approximately 60 MPH, the Low Oil message was displayed, and the engine shifted into "LIMP Mood" reducing the speed of the vehicle.
