NHTSA Complaint #11701434 — 2024 FORD ESCAPE

The 2024 Ford Escape continues failing to record safety events. Alert history and messages sections are NOT updating after warnings . Because the alert-history system is failing, the vehicle does not store warnings. This prevents accurate diagnosis and hides safety-critical failures. ADAS systems are unreliable, making lane changes, reversing, and merging unsafe. Ford dealership and engineering hotline have been working on the vehicle since Nov 3 and have repeatedly reproduced ADAS failures. Safety alerts have continued since March 2025. Ford engineers and dealership technicians have inspected the vehicle multiple times, including the current visit (Nov 3–present). Engineering hotline continues to escalate. ADAS warnings have appeared since March 24, 2025. Today’s event shows that the Alert History and Messages features STILL do not log warnings even after repairs. “Following multiple failed repairs and an IPMA module replacement, the 2024 Ford Escape still fails to record critical safety alerts. As of today, the Alert History shows only a single old entry and does not log new ADAS warnings. The Messages section also shows numerous unread messages but does not display new alert data. This confirms the ADAS system and data-logging subsystem are still malfunctioning after weeks in the dealership and engineering involvement.”
