Potential Consequences:
My driver side door began making a grinding/creaking noise when opening. It was rather alarming as it was loud and extremly noticibale everytime I would open AND close my door. At one point, I had opened my door while doing errands and I could not actually push the door closed without some physical force. Now the door makes a more hollow creaking sound while closing and opening the door. Recently, my driver side window has since malfunctioned (does not go down). I can push the button for it to go down, but it only moves two inches before it stops completly. I use my vvehcile to communte to and from work and to transport my children to school and back. This safety concern is alarming as the safety of myself is at risk if ever in an accident, potentially not being able to open the door or even the door unlatching while driving at highway speed of 120kms. I have voiced my concerns to my FORD dealership but due to not purchasing extended warranty at time of purchase, It is not covered and recommened to take to an autobody shop for servicing. The technician noted "it can be quiet expensive". There are no warning lights.

The recommended repair from Ford is replacement of the door and check arm. However, my car is over 36,000 miles, so out of warranty, and therefore the $1900 repair is my responsibility to pay to fix.
Additional Notes:
The front driver's side door began popping and making a loud noise when opening. The the window stopped going down, and now you can hear air coming in through the door, like it is not shut all the way. I took my car to the dealership and they said this is a known problem with the door hinge welds and that the welds are busted. The recommended repair from Ford is replacement of the door and check arm. However, my car is over 36,000 miles, so out of warranty, and therefore the $1900 repair is my responsibility to pay to fix.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Check engine light came on Friday and 24 hours later started making a whirring sound lost power on the highway started smoking and smelled like it was going to catch fire. Was impeding traffic and almost caused an accident. Had it towed to Ford dealership where a diagnostic test was run. They determined that it was engine failure and Ecoboost failure. Coolant was leaking into cylinders 2&3. They claim the code fired on September 9. They asked if I had taken it anywhere to clear the code. I most definitely did not. Ford Motor Company is unwilling to make this right and have quoted me almost $9000 to fix this issue. Certain makes and models of 2020 Ford Escape have had engine recalls. This is clearly a malfunction on their part.
