History Behind the Investigation
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has concluded its investigation into power loss issues in approximately 411,000 Ford vehicles, specifically targeting certain Ford Escape, Bronco Sport, and Maverick models. The probe was initially launched in May 2023, responding to complaints about unexpected engine shutdowns due to a loss of power while driving. NHTSA received multiple reports from Ford owners who experienced engine issues, potentially tied to defective fuel injectors in 2022-2023 models equipped with the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine.
Which Models Are Affected?
The investigation covered the 2022-2023 Ford Escape, 2022-2023 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2023 Ford Maverick. These models, all equipped with the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, experienced potential fuel injector issues, which could result in a sudden loss of engine power. According to NHTSA, fuel injectors in these vehicles may have been prone to malfunction, causing engines to lose power without warning. Although Ford has not issued a formal recall, the automaker has committed to implementing improvements in their vehicles, including upgrading the fuel injectors to minimize risks in the affected models.
What Owners Need to Do Next
Owners of the affected Ford models are advised to remain vigilant for any warning signs, such as unusual engine behavior or sudden power loss. While no official recall has been issued, Ford is expected to offer enhanced warranties and address concerns for owners facing recurring power issues. If owners experience symptoms of a power loss, they are encouraged to contact their local Ford dealership for inspection and potential updates to the fuel system.
How Ford Owners Can Take Back Control
While this investigation has been closed, many Ford owners are likely affected by the same issue, with many expressing dissatisfactions over Ford’s inadequate solutions – highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.
