2020 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

The driver's side door has a broke weld - there is an issue that it will not open and close correctly. Also due to the issue the window can not be rolled down which can causes visibility issues when rain or fog conditions are present. The door can sometimes be latched closed and other times will unlatch on its own. I tried to resolve with Ford but they indicate it is a known issue and will not cover the repair, leaving me to not be able to afford the repair but still in need of using the vehicle.

from online research, seems to be a common problem with the ford escape. while in normal use the front driver side door check rod failed. the door was very difficult to open after the failure and now no longer closes

CALLED MY DEALERSHIP FOR MY DOOR PROBLEM, SAYS THERES BEEN ISSUES WITH THE DOOR CHECK , BUT IM A MONTH AND HALF OUT OF WARRANTY AND FORD DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE WITH THIS... SO I WILL HAVE TO GO PAY FOR THIS ON MY OWN AND GET A RENTAL CAR.. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE!!!

The front driver door started to make large popping sounds and becoming difficult to close. The arm inside the door is now loose, grinding, and visibly not connected to the door. The drive window can also not be lowered now.

Drivers door one day made a popping noise and then was unable to close. Door hinge issues and ford will not repair without cost although the door has not had any impact, collision or trauma, it just stopped working one day.
