Consumer Description

I OWN A 2001 FORD ESCAPE. THE LOCKS ON THE HATCH DOOR AND HATCH GLASS WINDOW DO NOT OPEN CONSISTENTLY, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT IS HOT OUTSIDE (I LIVE IN FL). THERE ARE NO OTHER WAYS TO OPEN THE DOOR OR WINDOW AS THERE ARE NO HANDLES ON THE INSIDE AND NO KEY LOCK ON THE OUTSIDE. FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD BE SOME TYPE OF SAFETY ISSUE. FROM BLOGS I SEE THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THE ACTUATOR MAY BE AT FAULT. *TR
