Consumer Description

2010 FORD ESCAPE BACK HATCH AND WINDOW FAIL TO OPEN. THIS IS A KEYLESS WINDOW AND HATCH. FORD DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE 380.00 TO REPAIR. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A MANUAL OR SECONDARY SYSTEM TO OPEN THE BACK HATCH AND/OR WINDOW. THIS FAIL HAS RENDERED THE BACK PORTION OF THE ESCAPE USELESS. IN AN EMERGENCY, A SECONDARY MANUAL OPENING DEVICE FROM THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR NEEDS TO BE RETRO-FITTED, AFTER MARKET BY FORD. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HAS NO INTEREST IN RESOLVING THIS OBVIOUS ENGINEERING BLUNDER. *TR
