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. On XXX, I experienced a serious steering malfunction while driving. The steering wheel began shaking, and I noticed the front passenger-side wheel did not appear to respond properly when turning the steering wheel, while the driver’s side wheel continued moving.

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 noise occurs while the vehicle is moving. On September 1, 2026, I took the vehicle to NTB for inspection. NTB diagnosed the vehicle as needing both front wheel bearings and tie rods at approximately 27,000 miles. I am concerned about multiple steering/wheel components requiring replacement at such low mileage. Failure of a wheel bearing or tie rod could affect the driver's ability to safely control the vehicle if the components continue to deteriorate or fail while driving. The vehicle and affected components are available f

The left‑side roof rail trim detached from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard that could have struck another vehicle or pedestrian. The remaining right‑side 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

The vehicle was built at the Chennai, India plant on April 22, 2022. Official NHTSA recall 25V126 (Ford 25S12) covers 2021‑2022 EcoSports built between April 1, 2021 and July 20, 2022—my build date falls inside that window. The vehicle exhibits the exact symptoms described in the recall: a jolt/clunk when shifting into reverse and a shudder from the transmission area during road driving. A Ford dealer technician documented “felt shudder from converter will need checked” during a road test. The dealer confirmed the build date and the symptoms but refused to inspect or repair the half‑shafts under the safety recall. They stated they “cannot perform a recall that does not apply to
2026-01-31, Seat Belts
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 Ricart’s in Columbus Ohio and they want $100 per seatbelt to fix. At this point I am expecting the other seatbelts not to work soon. 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
