I JUST LEFT THE RESTAURAUNT AND WALKED OVER TO MY ESCAPE. WHEN I OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR THE REAR TOP EDGE WAS RAKED BACK FAR ENOUGH TO HIT MY GLASSES, BENDING THEM AND THEN THE UPPER MOST CORNER PIERCED THE SKIN JUST BELOW THE EYE. 1/2" BY 1/2" CUT. A LITTLE CLOSER AND I WOULD HAVE SEVERLY DAMAGED MY EYE. THE TOP REAR CORNER EDGE OF THE DOOR EXTENDS TOO FAR BACK. SINCE THAT INCIDENT I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE STANDING FURTHER BACK THAN USUAL TO AVOID ANOTHER INJURY. LAST NIGHT MY SON-IN LAW HIT HIMSELF IN THE FOREHEAD JUST ABOVE HIS GLASSES WITH THE REAR MOST TOP EDGE OF THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR. CAUSING A CUT AND BLEEDING. STAND TOO CLOSE AND THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT DOORS OF THE 05 FORD ESCAPE 4X4 LIMITED CAN CAUSE INJURY. THANK YOU BILL KOHNKE. *NM

ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM PICKING UP MY FORD ESCAPE, I NOTICED CABIN NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT TOOK 6 SERVICE VISITS TO JIM KEIM FORD TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT WAS CAUSED BY LOOSE CLADDING ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. FURTHER, I BEGAN GETTING A TICKING NOISE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND BUMPY ROADS DURING THE RESOLUTION OF THE CLADDING PROBLEM. JIM KEIM SPRAYED SILICONE SPRAY ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR MOLDING TO RESOLVE THIS. THE TICKING NOISE RETURNED WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS AND KRIEGER FORD PUT ANTI-RATTLE TAPE ON THE A ARMS IN THE CABIN TO RESOLVE THIS ON 2 OCCASIONS. IN ALL, I'VE HAD 8 SERVICE CALLS ON THIS BRAND NEW $26000.00 ESCAPE. I'VE DRIVEN HUNDREDS OF MILES IN TRYING TO RESOLVE THESE NOISE ISSUES TO DATE. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT A VEHICLE I GENUINELY LOOKED FORWARD TO HAVING HAS BECOME A VEHICLE THAT I'VE ALREADY EXPLORED...
