    May 7, 2013, i woke up to find a puddle of water on the floor on both sides of my car. The dealership inspected it and cleared both front sunroof drain tubes. They also inspected, removed and installed front seats and center console for carpet cleaning (according to my invoice).

    The rear door will not open. When i looked online to see what the problem may be i noticed many complaints of same problem. The rear latch sensor needs to be replaced.

    Sunroof/moonroof of our 2012 ford escape exploded for no reason a year and a half after purchase. Luckily, we had the cover shut or it would've injured us and our small child. Ford didn't want to take responsibility for it, they wanted us to claim it on our car insurance. I had (and still have) plenty of pictures documenting that this happened from the inside out. Nothing crashed into the sunroof causing it to…
