2022 FORD ESCAPE PHEV Structurebody Problems

Panoramic sun shade detached from rails and recoiled into the assembly while driving on the highway. The shade was in a static position when it happened- it was not being retracted at the time. Available for inspection, but has already been repaired by dealer. A very loud cracking noise was heard when it happened, which startled me and could have caused an accident. It is a relatively new car and had been retracted probably a total of 20 times. There was no warning, and the entire headliner, pillars, and glass had to be removed to repair. It is apparently a common occurrence due to cheap plastic clips that are used.

The power window switches have a chrome trim piece that has cracked causing a severe cut hazard. This was an issue in 2020 models that was addressed but is still present in my 2022 model.

Hello, just as the drivers side door is suffering from poor welds, we believe the driver side door is well and suspect to all four doors. We are hearing rattling in the Door when opening and closing. It definitely matches other descriptions of issue in the drivers door.

We were driving and the front passenger door unexpectedly opened. Fortunately my wife was able to grab the door and pull it closed without incident.

I recently purchased a 2022 Ford Escape and during my first drive with it upon arriving home while unloading the trunk I felt a pain in my hand. I looked where I had place my hand to reach in the trunk and there was razor sharp metal. I contacted Ford and brought the car in to get it deburred and Ford refused to repair the issue telling me all Ford Escapes had the razor sharp metal and that is as it’s designed. They provided this response in writing. Please keep in mind the jut outs in the photos on the edge are razer sharp metal burrs from the sheet metal cutting process and not paint drip or other buildups on the metal
