Consumer Description

I’m submitting this on behalf of my daughter before someone gets hurt or killed. My daughter purchased a ford escape in 2018. Over years the driver rear door has gotten impossible to open. You have to pull so hard that sometimes the door is rip from your hand and snaps shut. Other times you can pull so hard that it rips the door panel off. So, she stop using that door. She then had a child and decided to put the car seat on the rear passenger side due to the door. Now that I know about her problem and she’s expecting a second child. Well, do I need to say more. She will need to use both side for car seats. If theres an accident and they can’t get the babies out, god forbid. The car hasn’t been in an accident and has been cared for properly with all maintenance done as scheduled. Please help. The dates and such don’t apply and there’s no N/A available. Since I’ve learned of her issue I’ve researched and saw there were recalls on door hinges but not for her year. Any help would be great.
