2022 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

Recall still does not have a remedy from May. Promised a solution in October and then November but now there is still no remedy

I want to hold Ford accountable for Recall 23S27. Ford continues to miss their own planned dates to come up with a solution. I want them to buy back their Lemon at Fair Trade-In Value per KBB, which is $30,500. This reminds me of the Ford Pinto fiasco many years ago. Thanks, [XXX] .

Driver's side door weld spots above and below the door check rod are broken. The door is not closing correctly. I'm afraid it's not going to stay closed while I'm driving. I took it to the local Ford Dealer and they confirmed this. No warnings, it suddenly started making a terrible noise when I open or shut the door.

I have not experienced a safety problem that is related to this recall. The problem that I have experienced is that I can not sell the car to a dealer because of the open recall. I am basically frozen out of the market by the manufacturer’s inability to correct their own mistakes. Additionally it turns out that Ford missed their commitment date of resolution by October, 2023.

When pressing the cruise control button, then pressing down on the toggle switch, the car accelerates to 80 MPH. I was doing this because that is how my old Honda worked. The Ford dealership claimed that one sets the speed by pressing up (+) on the toggle switch. This works as it should, however, I fear that someone else is going to use the wrong combination of buttons and crash at 80 MPH. Pressing down on the toggle switch should either do nothing, or at least set the speed to the one that was set previously. There is no warning in the user manual, nor is there any warning information in the car. The dealership claims that there weren't any error codes and a test drive revealed no problems. Obviously, they didn't use the button combination that I told them to use. It is 100% reproducible. It has happened since I bought the car in Sept. 2022.

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause for the sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. There was no failure with the rear braking system. The contact was informed that the grinding sound would eventually cease. The contact stated that the grinding sound persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 10,000.

Drivers Side Door- The “Door Check/Hinge” failed. Originally made several loud popping noises and then became hard to secure/shut. The same situation as the 2021 Ford Escape that I traded for the 2022 Escape. Drivers side door wouldn’t shut properly. Yes. No.
