Both my drivers seat and front passengers seat were completely laid back and did…

    To whom it may concern, my 2013 ford escape is experiencing cracking in the leather of the front seat bolster. It is such a frustrating problem to have on a car that is only three years old. There is a tsb #15-0129 in reference to this apparently known problem. I just hope that if there are enough complaints maybe ford will issue a recall and repair the problem. Thank you, *tr

I am concerned because i have brought it to ford several times and they can't find a problem. I am not sure if this thing can reset, move or do something else as i am driving.

    Very disappointed by the design. Wheel well are extremely difficult to remove ice and slush they are too small and can't remove debris. Wipers in the front is not the greatest. Loses contact on windshield have a heard time seeing where i am going. Terrible wipers when purchased new wipers required. Engine having really odd noise and sluggish. I supposed they replaced the injectors. Had some torque but sounds like…
