2015 Ford Escape Body and structure Problems

“During my last oil change, 12/23/2019, I was told the technician told he could not re-attach my splash shield due excessive rust where the shield fasteners are supposed to hold the shield in place. Approximately 10 screws cannot be re-installed due to rust. This shield if re-attached could have fallen off during operation causing unknown multiple issues including causing a crash. My problem occurred during an oil change, so I was stationary in the oil change shop.”

“After heavy rain, my headliner has water that seeps up from the plastic molding in the a-pillar up toward the driver side visor. The panoramic roof drain was cleared by the technicians. I told them that I had read about roof rack issues with the Escape was told it was fixed. It still is leaking after rain. It happens in the rain whether the car is stationary or in motion. I have been told that this is not a covered item; however, there is no wear and tear as I have never used the roof rack and have owned the car for less than 3 years. …”

“While driving down the highway at approximately 60 MPH I heard a noise that sounded like the tracks flew off the roof of my car. Water began leaking in through the roof, so I thought the sunroof may not be closed all the way. I opened the fabric cover underneath the sunroof to see where and if it was leaking and when I did shattered glass began falling in on me. I immediately tried to close the fabric portion again, but I couldn't get it closed. It kept crumbling until the majority of the sunroof was completely gone. …”

“My left back passenger door panel keeps pulling off the door and prevents the door from opening. I literally have to either pull the door so hard from the outside to get it open or climb in the back from the right back passenger door to pull the panel up slowly as someone is slowly opening the door from the outside. I have taken the vehicle up to the lou fusz Ford dealership in chesterfield, mo., where I purchased the vehicle twice already and this will be the third time! The first time I was told they needed to replace the panels clips. …”

“Rear driver side door becomes stuck. On at least 3 different occasions, the clips attaching the plastic panel to the inside of the door break, causing the plastic to stick against the door frame and resulting in the door not opening. This is a serious safety issue! Each time, the car has been stationary when I have noticed the problem. All of a sudden, the door will become difficult to open ( sticky ) or does not open at all. I have taken the car to be fixed at 2 different Ford dealerships, both of which will only replace the clips and add extra screws to hold the plastic on the door. …”
