Approximately 10 screws cannot be re-installed due to rust. This shield if re-attached could have fallen off during operation causing unknown multiple issues including causing a crash. My problem occurred during an oil…

Rear driver side door becomes stuck. On at least 3 different occasions, the clips attaching the plastic panel to the inside of the door break, causing the plastic to stick against the door frame and resulting in the door not opening. This is a serious safety issue! Each time, the car has been stationary when i have noticed the problem. All of a sudden, the door will become difficult to open ("sticky") or does not…

While driving down the highway at approximately 60 mph i heard a noise that sounded like the tracks flew off the roof of my car. Water began leaking in through the roof, so i thought the sunroof may not be closed all the way. I opened the fabric cover underneath the sunroof to see where and if it was leaking and when i did shattered glass began falling in on me. I immediately tried to close the fabric portion again,…

My left back passenger door panel keeps pulling off the door and prevents the door from opening. I literally have to either pull the door so hard from the outside to get it open or climb in the back from the right back passenger door to pull the panel up slowly as someone is slowly opening the door from the outside. I have taken the vehicle up to the lou fusz ford dealership in chesterfield, mo., where i purchased…

They have not called us and we have called several times and they keep putting us off with the excuse that there were so many calls it was taking longer then they expected. They had told us that…

Both times i extended a hand to try and stop it but both times it continued to close and hit me in the head. The second time was on april 7, 2016. It hit me hard enough to give me a concussion and trigger a migraine that lasted 4 days. I had to be prescribed medication and missed work. The gate should not close…

I have been to ford 3 times trying to get help with an absurd amount of road noise coming from my 2015 escape. This has become a recent issue to the point where the back seat passenger cannot make out what the driver or front seat passenger are saying. After my 3 visits, ford has dismissed this problem with little interest. When driving you can feel air from the road as you are in the vehicle. This is a safety…

When vehicle is placed in motion, the rear doors lock. Once locked, the persons in the rear seats cannot exit the vehicle on their own. This has nothing to do with the child locks. The rear passengers can only exit if the doors are unlocked from the front seat area or if a person with the key fob places a hand on the outside front handles. This is a significant safety issue. For example , if the front passengers are…
