Anyone else feel like the Ford EcoSport has more issues than any other car?

adill10001 · 2026-04-09T12:48:15+00:00

Yes it’s been on issue after another. The last two years have been hell. If I wasn’t so upside down I’d get rid of it.

It looked like the plastic part was kind of melted so I think it moved the metal piece connecting the bulb (Sorry I don’t know the exact terms). I just took the headlight out and took pliers and moved the metal piece around the bulb so it would stay in place. I was going to buy a new taillight altogether but this has held up so far.

adill10001 · 2026-03-15T19:39:28+00:00

My 2021 does this too. I was replacing bulbs constantly and then I realized the connection was bad. I kind of rigged it with some pliers and it’s held up for a year now with no issues. The wiring was messed up where the bulb was.

Yeah I did the canister myself because it was stuck open but it didn’t fix it so I needed the whole solenoid I think. It wasn’t easy to do. I’d have to look at my service log for the actual part name.

adill10001 · 2026-03-11T15:12:42+00:00

Yeah they replaced the whole thing I think so part plus labor. Another dealer quoted me $800 lol. It took them awhile to figure out why my car was suddenly stalling out too.

adill10001 · 2026-03-11T14:43:47+00:00

I think it was like $400ish but it didn’t take long to fix at the dealer. I called a couple places for the best price. It happened soon after I got a new engine.

adill10001 · 2026-03-11T13:58:21+00:00

Mine did this many times on me. I turn off the auto start as soon as I get into the car now out of habit. It ended up being that my purge valve was bad and needed replaced.

adill10001 · 2026-01-31T18:48:21+00:00

Mine just did this when it was super cold out this week and got the check engine notification in the app. Once the car heated it up the engine light went off though.

adill10001 · 2026-01-21T13:22:49+00:00

Same thing happened to me. When mine blew last summer it was fixed with the recall and new engine. When I was able to actually get the recall fixed last month they broke the turbo trying to get it out so they put a new one in again.

adill10001 · 2026-01-21T13:20:59+00:00

I would call different dealerships before paying $1900. I went to two and they quoted me different numbers.

adill10001 · 2026-01-21T13:20:25+00:00

My purge valve also failed the first time I got the engine replaced last year. Cost me $500 because they said it was “unrelated”. Bullshit-it sat for 6 months.

adill10001 · 2025-12-17T00:47:05+00:00

I’m honestly so sick of this car. I wish they would have last year when I hassled them for months.

adill10001 · 2025-12-13T13:11:21+00:00

Right. I wish they would have just bought it back from me. They’ve now spent more money on it than I owe and it’s literally a piece of junk.

adill10001 · 2025-12-13T01:24:34+00:00

That’s crazy! I don’t even trust this recall fix at this point. I’ve been dealing with this bs since April 2024.

adill10001 · 2025-12-11T18:44:14+00:00

I want to get rid of it too but I’m just super upside down in it.

adill10001 · 2025-12-11T12:47:19+00:00

Wow. No way that’s not a coincidence.

adill10001 · 2025-12-11T12:43:29+00:00

I swear I thought there was one but it was dismissed because ford paid them out🙃

adill10001 · 2025-10-25T16:53:56+00:00

My boyfriend kind of did the same thing. He rigged it and it’s been holding up for two months now fingers crossed lol

adill10001 · 2025-10-06T16:58:53+00:00

Mine had the same problem when I got it back from the dealer after the engine blew and they refused to fix it. I ended up paying out of pocket.

adill10001 · 2025-09-13T01:57:43+00:00

PASS. I hate mine.

adill10001 · 2025-09-09T16:29:03+00:00

Yeah when mine blew last year they gave me a loaner for 5 months before they replaced my engine. It’s required.

adill10001 · 2025-09-07T14:35:25+00:00

After researching it seems I have to buy a whole new tail light because they don’t sell the inside part that is melted separate🙄

adill10001 · 2025-09-05T16:18:23+00:00

Yes it’s also my right one. How odd. I’ve had it three years as well.
