2020 Ford Escape - 3 Broken Spot Welds In The Left Front driver Door At The Check Arm Attachment Points In The door assembly. The door swings wide open. Just broken off on their own. Nothing stops door now bc arm limiter is detached off. Can see 3 obvious Welding holes that broke off. Closing door is very difficult bc broken arm is in way. Makes cracking clicking sounds. Window will not go down now either.

Spot Welds at door check are starting to crack/fail making a intermittent snapping noise. This is on both front doors. There are 6 spot welds holding bracket on. At this time the ones behind the check on the door is failing putting stress on the other spot welds. Dealer said it out of 36 month warranty so, I would need to pay myself when it completely fails.

My 2020 Ford Escape has the reported problem with the door making a popping noise due to a problem with the spot welds on the inside. I have not had an issue with the door coming open on its own and did not know that was a possibility until I read about it in the news today however my vehicle does have the same symptoms as are reported. I was in the process of taking the vehicle in for the other safety recalls on it but had to delay that work due to the door issue.

Door check device on the drivers door broke off at the riveted attachment point. Device started making a popping noise followed by a complete failure. Door would not close and window would not roll down or get stuck in the down position. Stopped and had body shop remove door check device.

I was getting out of my car and when I opened my door it sounded like someone had hit my car. I checked to see if there was any damages and there was none. After further investigation I noticed that the spot welds on the driver side door of my 2020 Ford Escape came loose and the door was starting to move freely inside the door. This causes the door to not be able to open all the way. I took my vehicle to the dealership and they kept it for weeks before they told me that I had to have my door replaced and it was going to be $4000. I called Ford and they sent a representative to the dealership to look at it and they did agree to pay 40% of getting it fixed but I still don't have the $2000 to get something fixed that is clearly a manufacturer defect. I even have an extended warranty but this part was not covered. There were no warning lights, messages, or anything. This happened at 59,600 miles. I have attached pictures of the left and right door jams (spot welds) for comparison.

The door welds came apart with a loud pop. The door would not open or close properly. There was no warning prior to the failure. Ford inspected door and gave an estimate of $1900 to paint and replace the door. Independent body shop inspected and welded new check arm for $700.

While opening and closing left front door (driver door) making a popping noise which is now making it difficult to close and open the door. This opposes a safety if I’m not able to open my door when needed. This has started a few days ago so I have not contacted dealership and confirmed with them but I have watched a few YouTube videos regarding others having the same problem and concern. There were no warning lights/lamps present and no prior problems before this occurred.
