I am writing to you about my 2018 EcoSport. I have been waiting for the parts to come into the dealership since the recall, and yet the parts still have not arrived. I have been having problems with my car before I got it fixed. Now I am having problems with my breaks. I've asked one of the service workers if it was ok to drive it, which he said it was okay. When I left the dealership, I was close to having a wreak, hence why I am writing to you all to let you know that someone needs to notify the dealership to make them aware that I need a rental car until they can fix my car completely before I get into an accident. Please get back with me as soon as possible,

Today (March-25-2025) a light came on saying "LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE" when I was driving home from work. I pulled in the driveway and turned the car off, checked the oil and noticed it was completely full. I am still waiting on a recall for this vehicle since last year, and since my wife and I both work, and have kids to take care of, not having a vehicle is definitely a problem.
