2020 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID- Olympia, WA
My driver side door's arm weld has broken causing my window to no longer function, the driver side door does not unlock electronically, my heads up display no longer works, and the door no longer has any resistance when opening. I understand there is a current investigation going on for these arm welds breaking and am reporting another instance of that. With my vehicle being at 70k miles the door is no longer covered under warranty.

2020 FORD ESCAPE- Douglassville , PA
Drivers door Check Arm has broken from door because of faulty spot welds from factory. You no longer have control of door when opening and door can swing open to full opening and out of control. This problem was confirmed by Fred Beans Ford in Boyertown PA. Apparently according to dealership this is an ongoing issue and Ford Refuses to recall or fix if out of warranty. I was quoted $2800 for the repair. My car has 31500 miles on it.

2020 FORD ESCAPE- Carlisle, PA
The door hinge on the driver's side failed. The 3 weld joints broke off. At times the door will not shut and latch properly, and the driver's window cannot be lowered. The dealer I took the vehicle to informed me that this is a recurring problem with the 2020 Ford Escape. They have had many people with the same problem. Ford refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem.

2020 FORD ESCAPE- Windsor Mill, MD
The contact owns a 2020 Ford Escape. The contact stated that a popping noise was present when opening and closing the front driver's door, and the door was difficult to close securely. In addition, the front driver's window failed to roll down completely. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the door check arm bracket welding was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 59,200.

2020 FORD ESCAPE- Lackawanna , NY
It’s a welding issue with the door arm and that’s a widespread issue but not a recall yet. It happened on my previous Ford Escape as well.

2020 FORD ESCAPE- Houston, TX
Every time the driver side opens, I hear a popping sound. I took it to my local Ford dealership and apparently it was passed warranty just two days prior so no work has been done. They advised me that the welds failed on the door and now the car needs a new door and latch that will take at least a week to complete repairs. My car has only 32,000 miles so it's fairly new. I fear that the door will eventually give out on me and not close properly.
