Defect Description:

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

A weld in the driver-side door failed rendering the door nonfunctional and making it difficult to safely exit the car and creating a concern that the door may not provide proper protection. The weld failure was not due to an accident for any misuse. Personnel in the Ford service department and body shop were very familiar with this problem due to other similar cases. Ford corporate is reluctant to acknowledge or address the problem, stating that the NHTSA has not required a recall. As a senior citizen I should not be expected to climb through my vehicle to exit my vehicle safely and I should have confidence that the door will protect me. The failure of the weld requires the entire door to be replaced at a cost of $2000. Welding is the basic blocking and tackling of car building and Ford has been welding car bodies for over 100 years so there is no excuse.

Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

My driver side door all of a sudden started making popping sounds when opening and closing. Got to the point where I could not close the door. I had to disarm the mechanism that was popping. I did a little research and I was able to see the rivets that hold the arm had pulled through the door panel thus causing the arm not to work properly. I am just over the 36,000 mile warranty so will not fall under the warranty. Because I had to disarm this mechanism to be able to shut my door I have no protection to protect the door from over opening and causing more damage. I also see there have been several other complaints of Escape owners having the same issue.
