The paint along the windshield columnS and rear tailgate are flaking off in large sections. This is causing premature rusting which is left to a consumer to absorb the cost of an entire paintjob, can lead to lack of action causing structural integrity issues.

Two different things are happening with my car. 1) the paint is chipping and has caused corrosion on the body. Apparently this is a known issue but the peeling/chipping has gotten worse and will keep doing so until it is fixed. 2) car keep running hot and losing coolant but no leak to be found even after several rounds of tests.

Rear passenger door latch no longer latches. The broken pawl spring tab in the door latch causes the door to not be able to close and stay closed. I see recalls for Ford Escapes up to 2016. It has not been inspected by a dealer No warning lamps or any other indicators before it broke. I shut the door and heard a crack sound. I inspected the latch myself and see a part is broken off.

White pearl paint is pealing from around the windshield. The bare metal of the frame is exposed. A local body shop reported the issue may be related to the windshield and could be a safety issue with the windshield getting loose. Other areas, such as the engine hood are also showing signs of pealing.

My blue Ford Escape has paint peeling near the left and right edge of the windshield area. This was first noticed in 2022. As of 2024, more paint is peeling.

The roof metal is defective. I brought my car to the dealership because the rain was pouring in all around the inside of the vehicle coming from the roof, they misdiagnosed it as rodent damage to the sun roof drainage tubes. I had another mechanic look at it who found that the water was coming through the roof rack. He was able to see inside of the car through the roof metal. Doing a bit of research, I found this is a common problem with these cars and/or Ford roof metal. There is in an open lawsuit from the collapse of a roof that resulted in the death of a couple. I drive with my 2 little children and I’m very concerned about the safety of my car and other Ford vehicle owners.

this is before an accident will occur.Around the windshield[apillar,on top] the paint is falling off so if I get in a rollover accident or a front end accident is the windshield just going to pop off with any pressure. if the paint under the urethane which holds the windshield in doesn't adhere properly.whats holding it on?

1. Coolant is either leaking or evaporating which makes the coolant reservoir tank lose water that requires many refills after daily use. This led to the car to heat up without any notice in the middle of a busy highway with a narrow shoulder. This causes the car to release white smoke from the back with a chemical stench. A mechanic checked the car by raising it on a car lift for any leaks but there were no obvious leaks. 2. Car sometimes violently shakes upon turning on the ignition letting out a loud noise that can be heard from afar. The warning was a misfire on the #2 Cynlinder. We have replaced the old spark plugs and coils with new ones but the car still shakes at times and on the screen it says, 'Engine Fault Service Now". 3. There is also a warning on the system that reads,...

I’m submitting this on behalf of my daughter before someone gets hurt or killed. My daughter purchased a ford escape in 2018. Over years the driver rear door has gotten impossible to open. You have to pull so hard that sometimes the door is rip from your hand and snaps shut. Other times you can pull so hard that it rips the door panel off. So, she stop using that door. She then had a child and decided to put the car seat on the rear passenger side due to the door. Now that I know about her problem and she’s expecting a second child. Well, do I need to say more. She will need to use both side for car seats. If theres an accident and they can’t get the babies out, god forbid. The car hasn’t been in an accident and has been cared for properly with all...

I special ordered a 2017 Ford Escape.The paint on both side windshield pillars is peeling and blistering. I took it to the Ford Dealership and was basically told that Ford would not repair it. There are many with the same problem. My concern is that due to the fact that raw metal is visible it will eventually rust and weaken the windshield, possibly causing it to break or even fly off. Please help all of us. I live on Social security and can't afford to get it painted.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while receiving a routine inspection on the vehicle, he was informed that there was corrosion around the windshield of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who confirmed the corrosion and stated that if the corrosion was not treated, the windshield was at risk of detaching. The structure around the windshield was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the 5-year warranty coverage had expired. The approximate failure mileage was 55,800.

After buying the truck I noticed over time the body paint was coming off. When I first got it I noticed a few areas where it looked like there was no clear coat applied. About a month after I noticed there actually was no clear coat applied in certain places (mostly around all the windows). When I spoke to numerous dealers they stated they have seen this a lot lately with Ford giving no explanation. The other issue I have is the doors and lift gate don’t seal properly. I can hear the air whooshing around from everywhere and it even allowed flies into my truck who then decided to mate and it took me two weeks to get them all out.

I am writing this to inform you of (4) safety issues in just the past year. Last August while driving in Massachusetts (I live in PA) I heard a strange noise. After pulling off the busy highway I found the bottom of my car dragging on the road. I had to find a place that sold duct tape as a temporary fix. Next problem was swollen lug nuts (never heard of such a thing). While getting new tires I had spent money for new lug nuts. The next problem again, the bottom of the car was falling off and dragging on the road. Most recently, two weeks ago while driving down the highway in West Virginia the car stated shaking and the engine light stated flashing. After being towed to Greenbrier Ford in Lewisburg, WV the dealer informed me the engine had a catastrophic failure. This is the second engine...

Purchased a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in lighting blue in October 2019. Now it's February 2022, the odometer reads 32,500 miles, and the paint is peeling on the driver's side next to the windshield. The warranty does not cover this issue. No accidents.

Underneath safety shields Heat shield came loose due to broken clips that held it up Took the vehicle back numerous times,while under warranty ,and requested it to be fixed dealer said it was fixed but it would fall down soon as started driving. Scraped the road when it fell down. Took it back was told to just remove it because that's what most people do well I refused to remove it and will not remove it. I called Ford main headquarters was told not to remove it and take it to another dealer. I took it to another dealer they actually ordered clips and installed new clips to hold the panels up. Within 2 weeks of being fixed it has another clip broke again. I feel this is a huge safety hazard when driving and should one or both panels fall off it could cause a wreck and or damage...

ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONE STATIONARY, ONE IN MOTION, THE TAILGATE WILL COME UNLATCHED. I HAVE THE AUTOMATIC TAILGATE WITHOUT THE FOOT ACTIVATED SENSORS. WHEN STATIONARY THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS ALL THE WAY CLOSED. THE HORN WILL CHIRP TWICE TELLING ME A DOOR IS OPEN AND THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW IT'S NOT CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY, BUT I WILL GET A WARNING IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER TELLING ME THE TAILGATE IS OPEN. IT DOESN'T OPEN ALL THE WAY. I HAVE ONLY EXPERIENCED IT ONE TIME WHILE IN MOTION AT LOW SPEEDS, LESS THAN 40 MPH, AND I PULLED OVER SAFELY. TO FIX THE PROBLEM I HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THE TAILGATE WHEN IT'S CLOSING AND PUSH THE DOOR CLOSED. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT EITHER.

RETAINER CLIPS FOR SPLASH SHIELD ARE FAULTY AND HAVE BROKEN OR GONE MISSING CAUSING THE SHIELD TO BECOME LOOSE AND FLAP UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. OUT OF 10 CLIPS, ONLY TWO ARE HOLDING THE SHIELD IN PLACE. FOR A CAR OF LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF AGE, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. FORD WILL NOT COVERING THE $45 PARTS OR LABOR $100. THIS KNOWN ISSUE CAN ACTUALLY CAUSE THE SHIELD TO ACTUALLY DETACH FROM THE FRAME OF THE UNDER BODY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE DAMAGE OR EVEN AN ACCIDENT TO NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE THAT IS AFFECTED BY THE LOOSE SHIELD BUT THOSE IN THE PATH OF THIS OBJECT IF IT WERE TO DETACH FULLY FROM THE VEHICLE. MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND ISSUE IS PRESENT. VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS EVEN COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OPTION AS WELL- STILL NO COVERAGE...

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS, THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

AS I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT, I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND WENT TO BRAKE. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND ACCELERATED CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL.

ON OCTOBER 3, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:15 P.M. MY WIFE WAS GETTING INTO OUR 2017 FORD ESCAPE.

OPEN THE LIFTGATE WITH HANDS FREE TO LOAD GROCERIES INTO CAR. AS I LOAD FROM CART TO TRUNK THE LIFTGATE WILL AUTOMATICALLY BEGIN TO CLOSE HITTING ME ON THE HEAD. AFTER GETTING HIT IT STARTLES ME SO MUCH NOT SURE IF IT GOES BACK UP FROM THE HITTING MOTION OR ME PUSHING IT OR I HAVE REACHED FOR THE BUTTON TO OPEN IT. BUT IT DOES GO BACK UP AND I HAVE NOT BEEN TRAPPED JUST BANGED ON THE HEAD OR SHOULDERS. THERE IS A VERY QUIET BEEPING SOUND HOWEVER IN A PARKING LOT IT IS TOO QUIET TO HEAR. I ASKED AT THE DEALER IF IT WAS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THIS LOUDER OR A PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING I'M DOING OR A SENSOR AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE CAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING IT'S...

JUST PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION. HEARD A LOUD BOOM. PULLED INTO NEARBY PARKING LOT. DISCOVERED PASSENGER REAR TIRE HAD BLOWN AND KNOCKED THE REAR BOTTOM DOOR PANEL OFF. THE CONDITION OF THE TIRE WAS HORRIFIC! IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. MICHELIN X GREEN 235/55 R17. THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THE TIRE IS THAT IT LOOKED DRY ROTTED OR AS IF IT HAD BEEN IN A SHREADED. COMPLETELY DISSATISFIED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM DEALERSHIP, MICHELIN, AND THE INITIAL CALL TO MY INSURANCE CARRIER. ACCUSING ME OF HITTING A POT HOLE OR OTHER NEGLIGENCE ON MY PART THAT MUST HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE TIRE BLOWING OUT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THAT OF OTHERS WITH...

I LEASED A NEW 2017 FORD ESCAPE WITH 379 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT MADE A CREAKING NOISE BY MY RIGHT EAR WHEN I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. I TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER A FEW DAYS AFTER THE NOISE WAS MADE. THE DEALERSHIP AND A FORD ENGINEER TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO FIX THE NOISE WITH NO RESULTS. THE NOISE REMAINED. I WAS IN CONTACT WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. FORD SENT THE SAME ENGINEER BACK TO WORK ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD ENGINEER FOUND THAT THERE WERE MISSING WELDS BELOW THE FRONT LEFT DOOR. THE MISSING WELDS WERE WHERE THE ROCKER PANEL WELDS TO SEVERAL OTHER PIECES OF STEEL, UNDER THE VEHICLE. THIS REPAIR TOOK ALMOST 2 WEEKS TO COMPLETE. THE VEHICLE ONLY MADE THE NOISE WHEN THE BODY WOULD FLEX(GOING FROM THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH OR ABOVE, THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, AND FELT SHAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB TOMES FORD (950 S CENTRAL EXPY, MCKINNEY, TX 75070), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. LATER, WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNDERBODY COVER BECAME LOOSE AND BEGAN TO DRAG ON THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE CONTACT HEARD A SCRAPING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH BOB TOMES FORD FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

MY CAR WAS STOPPED ON THE PROPERTY'S DRIVEWAY, TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK. I WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE CAR, AND AS I OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO GET IN, THE BOTTOM CORNER OF DOOR GOUGED MY LOWER LEFT LEG AND PEELED BACK A SIGNIFICANT CHUNK OF TISSUE. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, I OBSERVED THAT THIS PIECE OF BLACK TRIM (WHICH COVERS THE ENTIRE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE ESCAPE) IS DESIGNED TO FLARE OUT TO A SHARP POINT ON BOTH FRONT DOORS OF THE ESCAPE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A GROSSLY NEGLIGENT DESIGN. IT BORDERS ON AN INTENTIONALLY SUBSTANDARD DESIGN, ELEVATING THE CONTINUITY OF THE BLACK TRIM ABOVE SAFETY CONCERNS. IN MY OPINION, THAT HAZARDOUS POINT FAILS TO MEET EVEN THE MINIMUM THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS OF A COMMERCIALLY FIT AND MERCHANTABLE VEHICLE. RESULT: TEN STITCHES TO REPAIR MY LEG; TETANUS SHOT; ORAL ANTIBIOTICS; COMPLETE DISRUPTION TO QUALITY OF LIFE AS MOBILITY IS AN...

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LATCH PERIODICALLY DOES NOT CLOSE - MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURELY CLOSE DOOR. SO FAR, IT HAS CORRECTED ITSELF SOMETIMES AFTER ONE OR TWO ATTEMPTS AND OFTEN AFTER MANY MORE. SO FAR, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN CAR WAS PARKED (NOT YET MOVING). I NOTICED THERE IS A RECALL UNDERWAY FOR FORDS UP TO YEAR 2016 (SO FAR).
