There was a clunking sound when I opened the sun roof. Later when we closed the sun shade, it seems to be hesitating. The next time we opened the sun shade, it seems to be catching. As I drove there was a sliding sound that we finally identified as coming from the sunroof. Something could be seen from the sunshade: an outline of something that continued to slide around in all directions. I looked it up on the internet, concerned about what it could be and discovered that there have been 2021 Escapes with the panoramic sunroof that have a manufacturing defect resulting in poor adhesion of the fixed glass panel and/or front panel to the roof frame. There was a warning that The roof panel or front panel could detach from the vehicle while driving. Detachment could result in injury or death to road users. It can also lead...

The liner for the panoramic sunroof has come off the tracks on the sides so the liner hangs down into the car and obstructs the view.

From the Ford website: "Power window switch chrome tip replacement Campaign/NHTSA# 22N17 Issue Date 2023-05-16" The tips peeled off and I get cuts on my fingers. Ford dealership, Golf Mill Ford in Niles IL, informed me this is a VIN specific issue and I needed to file this claim. Please advise.

Parked car in garage on saturday like normally done for 3+ years. Next thing, car is completely unresponsive. Will not start, honk doesnt work, no lights nothing. If this happened in the middle of the road (and it has happened to other drivers), its a safety issue. Tried jump starting, nothing works.

My drivers side door was squeaking and then started popping. The other day it made a loud pop and now I can hardly open and close the door. My window will also not go up and down. So I have read there are many Escapes with this problem and it is a known problem.

Door Weld is broken in drivers door. Extended warranty with EasyCare will not cover it. It is a known issue with this vehicle. How do we get it fixed, without spending out of pocket to fix Ford's issue

I was just sent A report on the issues with the door of the 2021 Ford Escape. I live in Dallas Tx. I purchased my Ford Escape in 2021 and in the past month I have had so many issues until I don't know where to start. One is currently the door issue; I heard a pop then a knocking, then a grinding then the door would not close. I was told the bracket needs to be replaced and that I would have to pay for the repairs. Because of what is happening with the door I can't let my window down because it either goes back up slowly or will go down when I am pushing for it to go up, or it will not go back up at all. I've been fighting with the dealership they are saying I will have to pay for the repairs. I Filed...

I was driving down the road and the car stated to stall. I noticed white smoke in my review mirror. I started to pull over and I got a warning message that said I had zero oil pressure and the engine shut down. I costed off the road into a pull off. When we got out of the car there was a fire in the engine compartment. As we were out in the middle of no where it took the local voulunteer fire depart 25 minutes to respond. In that time the car was a total loss. I did not hit anything in the road and I was drive around 60 mph at the time this started.

* I Was about to park in my drive way on 6/7/2022 when the vehicle suddenly accelerated by itself, breaking my closed garage door, destroyed every garden equipment and everything else found on its passage in the garage and entered my granddaughter's bedroom causing MAJOR structural damages to the house. * my son had just left the garage and could have been run over and myself severely injured if ALL the equipment and the bedroom wall did not stop the car. * Unfortunately, the Dealership minimized the problem because they did not see the damages, only the superficial scratch of the car *Yes, it has been inspected by ALL parties *NO, no warning signs of SENSORS warned this MAJOR accident at all that day. *I told FORD that I am scared to drive the car after that accident and they do not seem to care and claim it is a...

We have a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid purchased from Corwin Ford in Reno, NV. that when driven at high speed the front hood vibrates and the hood makes a very loud flutter sound. I have informed the salesperson Finn Orwig of this situation over the last 7-8 months. His service department tightened the hood rubber closing stops to no avail. I went online and plugged in 2021 Ford Escape hood noise and was directed to several online Ford forums where many others are stating the same issue. (See Reddit & Ford Escape hood troubles). I continued to contact Corwin Ford Customer Relationship Center of this issue and filed a complaint on October, 16, 2021. I never heard back until I reached back to them on February, 23,2022. Peyton gave me an address to send a letter. Dissatisfied that I could not speak to a representative who I could discuss issue...

My vehicle 2021 Ford Escape caught fire
#11443591 |
Stopped at a red light on 3 lane highway, in middle lane. When light turned green, I tried to accelerate as usual, but the car (hybrid) would not go. Message on dashboard was "STOP SAFELY NOW". Car was coasting about 5 MPH. I was able to get barely off the road. I could turn the car on/off but could not get out of park and continued to receive this message. This vehicle is new, purchased less than a month ago now has 140 miles. Had to be towed to dealership. SInce this occurred I have found a recall on a few other Escape Hybrids with the same issue. REcall 21S31. The diagnostics of the car indicate same situation occurred on 11/29 but must have self-corrected.
