I hope this message finds you well. My name is [XXX] and I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue I am currently facing with my Ford Ecosport 2018 WIN : [XXX] , which I purchased in August 2023. On [XXX], my daughter encountered a low engine oil pressure warning along with a strange noise while driving to school on the highway suddenly stopped. We promptly towed the car to the dealer, Gillman Honda, as we have an extended warranty. To our dismay, they asked for $1000 to investigate the issue, revealing a faulty oil pump tensioner that caused the belt to disintegrate. This led to small belt fragments clogging the oil pickup, resulting in engine oil starvation. Regrettably, the extended warranty does not cover this problem, and we were quoted $7500 for an engine replacement. Subsequently, I discovered that Ford has issued a recall for the exact issue affecting my vehicle. When contacting the Ford dealership, I was informed that the recall is incomplete, and a remedy is not yet available. They told me that I have to wait until I receive recall . My car is not working and since December I have been waiting . Given the urgency of the situation and my inability to afford the $10,000 repair cost, I am seeking your assistance in expediting the recall repair process for my Ford Ecosport. The car is currently inoperable, and I am facing a significant financial burden. However, your prompt attention and guidance on expediting the repair process would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The engine oils drive belt tensioner failed, I took it to dealer to have it diagnosed. This can result into a crash with my two children whom I always have in the car with me and hurting not only them but other drivers around me. The problem has been diagnosed by the dealer where I have always took it since I got it brand new 0 miles from dealership. I heard a very loose rattle loud noise from the vehicle Saturday and my car started to drive funny and took it straight to the dealership and has been there since. They said they are unable to fix this recall right now.
