The All New Ford Eco-Sport

[17Sphynx17]

Torque converter yung 6 speed ng Focus Ecoboost namin. I specifically avoided Ford's DCT. And now it still shifts like the day we drove it out of casa. No slightest hint of shuddering or slipping.

Misunderstood your reply. I thought you mentioned your (Ecoboost - original typo) Ecosport with a DCT. Didn't notice the transmission model you posted

Typo. It shouldn't be Ecoboost. It should be Ecosport. haha! Apologies

The Focus 1.5L Ecoboost never came with a DCT. It had the same tranny as the Escape of the same era. The newer Ecosport also has a 6-speed AT tranny.

The previous gen Focus (1.6L and 2.0L NA) had the DCT like the Fiesta and Ecosport. Prior to that, the Focus TDI AT had the wet clutch DCT.

Uncle had the 2.0 Focus DCT model hatchback body based on the "Euro design" back when Ford still owned Mazda and it had a Mazda 3 "twin". I was living with them then so I drove for them and also sometimes monitor if need to have PMS done for that and their Fiesta which they eventually also bought with the original 3 year good experience with the Focus ownership but... was downhill after that.

4 years old (technically 5) na yung Focus Ecoboost namin, but the 6F35 6-speed still shifts as smooth as butter even if the ATF has not been replaced yet.

Apologies. Can delete this post. Di nagregister sa utak ko na Focus Ecoboost pala tinype mo. I kept registering it as Ecosport in my mind when i was replying.

The facelifted Ecosport I believe is equipped with the 6F15, a 6 speed torque converter sourced from China. Doesn’t seem to have any problems I have heard of.

update on the ecosport. Called Ford Alabang, turns out that the unit is included in extended warranty of the transmission but will depend on their diagnosis.

unit will be towed tomorrow to Ford alabang. per their service agent, unit will be checked by Saturday since they are already full for tomorrow.

update on the issue of the ecosport.

since the transmission error occurred, i used my cheap OBD scanner prior calling Ford Alabang. OBD scanner showed P0720 code which is output speed sensor circuit. ecosport lost its forward but reverse still working. Customer service at Ford said that there is an extended warranty for the transmission but it will depend on their findings if it will qualify.

then i had the car towed to Ford Alabang for diagnostics. i appreciate Ford Alabang customer service as they are very accommodating and easy to talk with.. they gave me updates thru text and phone call.

diagnostics revealed the same issue "output shaft sensor" error.

i thought its only a cheap fix but lo and behold.. they will really try to "insert" jobs not directly related to the problem.. and that "GOLD" pricing kicks in..

diagnostics amounted to 4k pesos, speed sensor at 5k pesos and installation for a whopping 5k pesos... OMG.. if any consolation, they offered 10% discount for cash straight payment..

what really irked me is they included an Under Chassis Rust Proofing for 10k pesos since they noticed formation of "rust".. so for an ordinary customer, without really knowing the car will give in and pay for the unnecessary rust proofing..

so in short, the car is running fine again.. for just 1 sensor and 15k pesos spent...

i wish manufacturers will make cars drivable even with a failed sensor, at least in limp mode.. so you can still bring the car to the nearest stop or gas station.. but this car lost its Drive for a failed output shaft sensor..

Mahal nga ng diagnostic at installation cost. Actually pati speed sensor mahal din, at least may warranty.

Grabe patong! If you didn't opt out of that underbody stuff 25k bayad to fix a P2.2k part.

sadly sir, its not covered by warranty since its a 2015 model.. now my tita is considering to sell the car.. maybe she lost confidence na due to what happened.. the car only clocked 25k kms

so she called ford alabang and asked them if they will buy her car.. sales manager went to her house and offered 270k.. for 2015 ford ecosport with 25k kms..

the sales manager admitted that the car is included with their extended warranty for the faulty dct but with specific error codes.. unfortunately PO720 is not included..

Not bad na rin na umabot ng 6 years ang Ecosport and yan lang pinakmalaking sira.
Sadly, not a lot of Ford models are durable.

Definitely better to sell the car yourself instead of the casa

Should've had it fixed at a Ford Specialist outside of dealer ... there are several in FB ...

kaya ko naman repair yung car, since na detect naman nung scanner ko yung faulty sensor.. akala ko lang kasi baka may other issues yung transmission since may extended warranty ang ford.. yun pala talagang sensor lang bumigay..

Is this the 2022 Ford EcoSport facelift? -Autoindustriya.com

All i can say it is bit fugly.

[Vodka]

that's a full size dirt bike 100+ kg

so yeah the frame is tough but heavy (sluggish w/ the 1.5 engine)

[dreamur]

US. Version. Overall looks better and bigger.

US. Version. Overall looks better and bigger.

Always thought not having an external spare tire at the back would make it look smaller.

The no-spare tire rear was originally intended for Europe where it was introduced for the 2016 model year.

just sold my ambiente (base model w/ steelies) 2017 for 300k. 29k odo. ok na ba ang price?

still drives great but a/c is noticeably weaker than when bnew. they say it's an ECV issue

the m/t shift cable end bushings crumbled to dust already and had to be replaced

rear door actuator failed and had to be replaced

some exterior plastics/rubbers already starting to crumble despite not being parked in the sun

changing the a/c filter on this car is the most ridiculous convoluted procedure ever

weak cooling system. small fan

good riddance. junk car
