In June 2023, I had to replace the engine on the 2018 Ecosport at the cost of approximately $6000.00. The explanation on the bill was due to problems with the "oil pump" I received a letter from Form recalling the car for repairs Jan 1, 2024 for exactly the same problem that I haad to spend 6000.00 dollars to repair and they still have not repaired the issue on the recall notice. If the car's engine fails AGAIN...because they still have not fixed the issue who will be responsible for the second engine that would have to be replaced in the vehicle?
