What owners report
I purchased my 2022 Ford EcoSport Titanium AWD used on February 14, 2026, with approximately 20,828 miles. The vehicle currently has approximately 36,000 miles. When purchased, the vehicle had no noticeable steering problems. However, over time, I began experiencing alignment issues, uneven front tire wear, and steering wheel misalignment that required me to hold the steering wheel to the left to drive straight.

My 2022 Ford EcoSport has approximately 27,000 miles. I began experiencing a repetitive rotational thudding noise coming from the front of the vehicle while driving.

The vehicle and affected components are available f
The leftâside roof rail trim detached from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard that could have struck another vehicle or pedestrian. The remaining rightâside trim is now lifting and is likely to detach as well. Ford has previously issued safety recalls (21S22, 24S02) for roof rail and pillar trim detachment on other models (e.g., Explorer) because loose trim can fly off and cause crashes. A Ford dealer was asked to address this safety concern under goodwill or warranty, but the request was ignored. The problem is visible and the vehicle is currently at the dealer. No warning lamps are associated. The detached trim is no longer available for inspection, but the remaining l

A Ford dealer technician documented âfelt shudder from converter will need checkedâ during a road test.

I bought a 2022 Ford Ecosport. The seatbelts are not working and I am currently down to one seatbelt in the rear seats that work. I haul 3 children regularly and now am having to transport without a seatbelt which is against the law and totally unsafe. I called Ricartâs in Columbus Ohio and they want $100 per seatbelt to fix.

I called the Ford customer service number and was told that is not on the recall list and unfortunately they cannot assist me even though I am hauling small children. I t is a MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE being these are children and if I get into and accident we all know What will happen and I will take this is
