My headlight are severely oxidized and are cracking. It makes it very hard to see at night. I took it to a repair shop and they could not get the headlight anywhere but from the dealer which are to expensive. I’m a student and can’t afford what they charge for new ones.

When one of my back up lights went out it shorted out the back up video camera. After replacement, found out from Ford that the wiring of the lighting is tied also into the video camera system. After replacement the camera shorts out and is not replaceable.

The cars electrical system has failed multiple times while driving leading to no headlights , brake lights and all other electrical components. we have had vehicle serviced by multiple different mechanics including ford dealership however problem persists shortly after repair each time. vehicle does not display any forewarning of failure such as no check engine lights or any indication that anything is wrong. all services and inspections show nothing is wrong however vehicle service records show electrical system and battery serviced/changed multiple time due to reoccurring problem. manufacturer says that our vin is not included in the recall however vehicle has all same issues as recalls from May 2014 to July 2015 .Vehicle was manufactured April 04,2015. how are vehicle does not fall under any of these recalls is beyond my understanding , at this point in time vehicle does not run due to multiple mechanics being unable to pin...

THEY GAVE ME NO CAR AND I'M SINGLE SO IT'S MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I AM ALSO A RETIRED TEACHER AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO BUY A CAR. I EXPECT MORE OUT OF A FAIRLY NEW CAR.

I RECENTLY SENT THIS TO FORD - I AM NOT A FORD OWNER BUT I'VE BEEN BEHIND SEVERAL ESCAPE'S AND A SMALLER MODEL HATCHBACK. BOTH HAD THEIR HEADLIGHTS ON BUT THEIR TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT. I SEE THIS AS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE DRIVER CAN SELECT ANOTHER SETTING - THEY DON'T KNOW THAT! AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. SEND A RECALL TO YOUR OWNERS! FORD'S RESPONSE - MY NAME IS [XXX], I AM FROM FORD`S CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER (CRC). I HAVE REVIEWED YOUR EMAIL REGARDING THE TAIL LAMPS FUNCTIONALITY ON FORD VEHICLES. FROM TIME TO TIME NEW VEHICLE OPTIONS/FEATURES ARE ADDED, DELETED OR MODIFIED. DECISIONS TO MAKE THESE CHANGES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT FACTORS SUCH AS MARKET TRENDS, CUSTOMER DEMANDS, ENGINEERING ADVANCES AND DEALERSHIP INPUT. WE HAVE DOCUMENTED YOUR COMMENTS WHICH WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT FOR REVIEW AND...

THIS ISN'T PERTAINING TO MY VEHICLE, BUT THIS IS RATHER A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CURRENT BRAKE LIGHT STYLING TRENDS IN MOST NEWER VEHICLES (NOT JUST THE FORD ESCAPE, BUT I'VE ALSO SEEN IT IN OTHER MAKE/MODEL VEHICLES AS WELL). THE ISSUE IS THE BRAKE LIGHTS SHOULD BE NOTICEABLE AND DISTINGUISHABLE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED, BUT IN THE CASE OF THE FORD ESCAPE (AND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES), THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE A SIMPLE STRIP OF WHAT I PRESUME ARE LED LIGHTS THAT ARE VERY DIM AND HARD TO TELL THAT THEY ARE LIT (EXCEPT MAYBE AT NIGHT), ESPECIALLY WHEN THE BODY VEHICLE IS SIMILARLY RED IN COLOR. I ALMOST HIT ONE THE FORD ESCAPE BECAUSE I COULD NOT TELL (UNTIL I WAS UP CLOSE AND WAS THEN ABLE TO SEE THAT THE THIN BAND OF BARELY LIT LIGHTS WERE ACTUALLY LIT), AND ONLY REALIZED THEY WERE BRAKING DUE TO THE...
