2020 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

THE SEATS HAVE METAL PROTRUDING FROM THE REAR PORTION WHERE YOUR TAILBONE WOULD REST. IT'S NOT JUST UNCOMFORTABLE, IT BECOMES PAINFUL THE LONGER YOU DRIVE. I WAS TOLD THE SEAT HEATERS WERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE MANUFACTURE PROCESS FOR 2020 FORD ESCAPES. IF THEY KNOW THEY INSTALLED THEM INCORRECTLY, WHY WON'T THEY FIX THEIR MISTAKE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED BEFORE STARTING. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN SENSOR WARNING LIGHT SHOWING A MALFUNCTION HAD OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AUTONATION FORD VALENCIA (23920 CREEKSIDE RD, VALENCIA, CA 91355, (661) 382-4700) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS SOY BASED WHICH ATTRACTED RODENTS AND THAT THE WIRES HAD BEEN CHEWED THROUGH. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE HANDS FREE LIFT GATE SOMETIME WORKS AND THEN OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT. THE OTHER DAY AT THE CAR WASH THE TAILGATE WOULD RELEASE WHEN I WOULD WALK BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHILE WASHING IT. ALSO, THE LAST TIME I FILLED VEHICLE WITH GAS AND CLEANED THE REAR GLASS WITH WATER THE TAILGATE WOULD AUTOMATICALLY RELEASE

VEHICLE ENTERED DEEP SLEEP MODE WITH LESS THAN 300 MILES AFTER VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN STARTED FOR 2-3 DAYS. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR FULL 12V BATTERY RE-CHARGE.

CAR JERKS OFF TO THE SIDE OF THERE IS A TURN LANE, ALMOST PULLED STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS. DOES THIS EVERY TIME I GO BY A TURN LANE AT ANY SPEED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2020 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 1-2MPH WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND AND CONTINUED TO MOVE FORWARD UNTIL VEHICLE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH STRUCTURE. THE CONTACT STATED ALL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG. 2 PERSONS WERE INJURED, AND WERE TAKEN TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BEING DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. THERE IS A LUMP OR BULGE IN THE BACK PART OF THE BOTTOM CUSHION THAT HITS YOUR TAILBONE.

OUR PRE-COLLISION LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON. NORTHGATE FORD WON'T DEACTIVATE IT FOR ME. IT GOES OFF RANDOMLY AND IT'S A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I COULD WRECK MY ESCAPE. THE WHOLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP IN AN ORANGE COLOR AND IT DINGS REPEATEDLY.

THE SPRINGS OR BAR AT THE BACK OF THE BOTTOM SEAT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT IS POKING UP AND I HAVE TO ADJUST CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING AS IT HURTS. VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY CHANGE POSITIONS TO TRY AND NOT HURT. A PICTURE WILL NOT SHOW WHAT IS HAPPENING WHEN THE SEAT IS SAT ON.

I I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD SPEED LIMIT 55. , NO OTHER CARS IN SIGHT, AND MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF JUST SHATTERED .
