2022 FORD ESCAPE Structurebody Problems

Driver side door hinge broke, it’s making it difficult to open and close the door. It’s also making a loud noise when opening and closing the door.

The vehicle has experienced repeated electrical failures over an extended period of time despite multiple repair attempts. After the most recent repair, which required the vehicle to be kept for approximately 10 days and included a battery replacement, the same electrical issue returned shortly after the vehicle was returned. The vehicle has previously stalled in traffic, creating a safety concern. In addition, the sunroof collapsed into the passenger compartment while a rear-seat passenger, who was a child, was present. A seat belt malfunction also occurred and required repair. Repairs have been attempted for these issues, but safety-related problems have continued. I do not feel the vehicle is safe to operate, especially when transporting a child.

Driver door door check bracket separating from housing assembly. No wreck or accident with vehicle. May be the spot welds on the door bracket assembly which have, apparently, demonstrated issues for this year make model of Escape. I contacted the nearest Ford Dealer with a body shop and they said they were unable to assist because there is no active recall.

The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving on a high windy day, and the contact felt that the vehicle was hydroplaning.

Additionally, the contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle failed to resist a sudden wind gust and was pushed into another lane. The contact was able to immediately steer the vehicle back into the intended lane.

Check Arms spot welds on driver door completely gave out. My door is creaking popping. Door feels like its going to fall off. It literally happened from one day to the next.

The brackets in the driver side door are broken I’m passed the bumper to bumper warranty therefore Ford won’t cover it

Driver's side door weld spots above and below the door check rod are broken. The door is not closing correctly. I'm afraid it's not going to stay closed while I'm driving. I took it to the local Ford Dealer and they confirmed this. No warnings, it suddenly started making a terrible noise when I open or shut the door.

Drivers Side Door- The “Door Check/Hinge” failed. Originally made several loud popping noises and then became hard to secure/shut. The same situation as the 2021 Ford Escape that I traded for the 2022 Escape. Drivers side door wouldn’t shut properly. Yes. No.

Paint is bubbling and popping for no reason. Issues have been seen on body panels and seals on inside of car where noting would touch it. Problem spots look like little volcanos or in some cases have already chipped away. Car has only been hand washed and waxed since owned. Application Performance Upgrade 22G08 may need to be expanded out to other colors as this one has discolored plastic panels as compared to metal panels and black base is also showing on nose through clear coat.

When I open my driver side door is clunks very bad. I took into dealer and was told the door check bracket has come unwelded They said that I can keep driving it in this condition until they can get it in to repair. But at first he was saying they would probably replace the door but now that isn’t happening. They are just going to repair it.

I have a foot operated lift gate and I constantly have to find the exact spot for it to open. Twice it lifted and while I was putting groceries in the back it came back down on me. The first time in smacked the back of my head and left a big knot. The second time it caught my shoulder and then I was able to get out of the way. I thought if the lift gate touched something coming down that it would go back up. It is a 2022 and does not even have 3000 miles on it. No I have not contacted the dealer. I have been extremely ill and it slipped my mind. Thank you very much for a quick reply.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sun reflected on the metallic dashboard trim and obstructed the contact’s view while driving. The contact called the local dealer and was informed that the vehicle was designed that way. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to the dealer and the NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 0.
