I have 37,000 miles on my car. I noticed the car was getting extremely loud when accelerating. Upon looking for recalls, I did see several mentions that people have reported issues with the flex pipe but did not see an official recall. I was confident that the issue was within the exhaust system. Unfortunately, a Ford dealership could not look at the problem for another two months so I took it to an independent dealership who validated that the flex pipe was rusted / busted. In addition they advised that the rear differential is also leaking fluid. For only having 37,000 miles on a car and having this kind of issues and not having an accident that would have created these issues and seeing others report the same problems I think this needs to be looked into.

I received a recall on my vehicle February 2024 and still the parts are not available. Now I am having issues with my vehicle making it unsafe for me and my son to get to and from school and work etc. This is my only vehicle I have! I need my car repaired ASAP and I need another vehicle until mine gets fixed.

I own a 2019 Ford EcoSport, VIN [XXX] , which is subject to recall 23S64 / 23V905 (Engine Oil Pump Belt and Tensioner Replacement - Final Repair). I was informed of this recall in June 2024, yet Ford has advised there is currently no available remedy. This is a serious safety concern. Under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, manufacturers must correct safety defects within a reasonable time and at no cost. Ford's failure to provide a repair, replacement, or refund is a violation of these obligations. I request NHTSA's urgent attention to compel Ford to resolve this recall promptly.
