2020 FORD ESCAPE Complaints

The contact owns a 2020 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving approximately 20–40 MPH, the vehicle was vibrating abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who completed a test drive and informed the contact that the vehicle was in ECO Mode and recommended driving the vehicle in SPORT Mode. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 18,000.

If the car is parked in the sun on a hot day, there are times when the car turns on but you cannot shift out of park. The knob will not turn. You are stuck until the car is able to shift. The engine and electrical will run but it is impossible to shift the car into gear. This has happened at least four times and is happening now because it is hot. Shutting the car off and restarting does not solve the problem. There appear to be other Ford Escape owners with this issue when I search online. It is not possible to replicate the issue at a mechanic because it only happens when the car is in the heat.

The vehicle's door hinges seem to have faulty welds on the front drivers side door specifically where the check arm connects with the rest of the door assembly. It feels like the door is going to fall off while driving. I am just over the warranty mileage for repair according to kindle ford dealership.

Driver side door hinge failure, dealer said driver side door needs to be replaced and passenger side needs pins. Hard to accept this isn’t a recall based on all the occurrences I’ve read on various ford blogs. Would have expected it would be. Disappointed in NHTSA, not looking after the consumer. I’ve been a life long Ford customer, but not anymore. Disappointed beyond belief

Pop welds at front passenger door failing where check arm is attached. Dealer offered to sell us a $3000 door.
