NHTSA Complaint #11244672 — 2010 FORD ESCAPE

MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE HAS 2 MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. THIS IS NOW THE THIRD ISSUE WITH MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE WHERE THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERS WHILECLOSING THE GATE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEY WILL NOT FIX. GLASS SHATTERS INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES AND PROJECTS 10-15 FEET IN ANY GIVEN DIRECTION. YET, FORD WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHERE I HAVE HAD GLASS SHOT AT MY FACE AND I ALSO HAVE A DOG THAT IS OFTEN PUT IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY FORD WILL DO SOMETHING IS IF I PAY. I ALSO WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE NOT FILED COMPLAINTS THINKING THIS IS A FLUKE ACCIDENT AND MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH INSURANCE. I KNOW IT IS NO FLUKE SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND TALKING WITH FORD THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE FILED TWO OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA. THE SECOND IS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR WILL LOOSE ALL POWER AT VARYING SPEEDS. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLS. THE TECHNICAL (NOT A FORD ONE) THAT I BROUGHT THIS TO SAID IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE BUT FORD WAS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT THERE IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THEM. *JS
