THE WINDSHIELD ON THE FORD ESCAPE CRACKED WHEN I RINSED IT WITH A REGULARLY GARDEN HOSE. SINCE I RINSE ALL MY CARS FREQUENTLY AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT THE GLASS WAS VERY THIN AND LIKELY CRACKED FROM THE COLD WATER HITTING THE WARMER GLASS. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER, WHO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR WINDSHIELDS. I HAVE SCHEDULED A GLASS COMPANY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 22 AT MY HOUSE. PLEASE CONTACT ME, IF YOU NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THANK YOU. *AK

WINDSHIELD CREAKS WHEN IT'S RAINING/WET. *AK
COMPUTER CONTROLS LOCKED DOWN THE CAR. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE COMPUTER WAS RESETTING WHEN IT DONE THIS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE WINDSHIELD IS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR AND THE DEALER WILL NOT COVER THIS AS A DEFECT BECAUSE MY CAR IS THE ONLY ONE THEY KNOW OF.
REAR WINDSHIELD THERMAL MELTED THE CONNECTION TO DEFROSTER. DEALER REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT ANY CHARGE. *AK *MR
THE WINDSHIELD ON MY 2002 FOR ESCAPE XLT LEAKS INSIDE EVERY TIME IT RAINS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE WINDSHIELD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE CAR BUT FORD WILL NOT COVER IT AS A DEFECT. THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY MANUFACTURER. FILED COMPLAINTS WITH BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND WILL BE TALKING TO THE MEDIA. *LA
THE WINDSHIELD LEAKED WATER WHEN IT RAINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS SEPARATING FROM THE MOLDING, AND IT'S NOT A SAFETY DEFECT IT WAS NORMAL. *AK WHILE DRIVING WATER WOULD GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *SC *JB

THIS CAR HAS HAD VARIOUS DEFECTS IN THE 8 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT. I HAVE HAD THE REAR WIPER ARM AND WINDSHIELD FLUID RECEPTACLE REPLACED. NEXT THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. THIS RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. NEXT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AT 40 MPH RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC NOT ONCE, BUT THREE TIMES. I FEEL THIS SUV IS NOT DEPENDABLE OR SAFE TO DRIVE. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE A VACATION AND DRIVE FROM WISCONSIN TO ARKANSAS IN THE AUGUST HEAT, BUT I AM HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS. I WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.
