Driver’s door started to make a loud popping sound. Found that weld spots on the door had failed. Local dealer removed the door check so now the sound is gone but need to be careful opening door in the wind. They have quoted $2,235 to replace the door! Already charged me $52 to remove the door check. I don’t feel safe driving this car being unsure if the door will stay latched. I hope there is a recall by Ford to fix this problem.

Potential Consequences:
My front drivers door started squeaking and yesterday it started making this crunching noise. I noticed that I have three holes on the inside front door panel where the hinges are. I was told by a mechanic that the door check arm on the interior of the door the weld did not hold and that was the noise I was hearing it braking. I can not open my door all the way and it gets stuck open sometimes. I called Ford and because my car is 2800 miles over warranty they will do nothing. Upon investigation I have found you have an investigation into this problem SSM 50150. I have a Ford 2020 Escape. How is it that the weld on a 3 year old car breaks? I have not had it repaired because of the cost involved. I feel this should be escalated to a recall.

Potential Consequences:
Door mechanical issue could become a future safety issue where failed/poor spot welds on a doors check arm bracket could cause the door to swing too far when opened or it could open while driving because of the spot weld failure. Current popping sound when opening and closing the door indicates spot welds on the check arm bracket, internal to the door, have failed, making the door difficult to open and close. A secondary failure is the inability to open and close the window.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The AWD module failed. This was confirmed at a Ford dealership after a lengthy diagnostic. The car started to alarm by showing first a powertrain failure and then disabling AWD, pre-collison assist warnings and hill assist. This placed the car in "limp" mode while i was entering the interstate on the on ramp making it a safety issue. In my research, I am seeing others who have had the same issue in the 2020 Escape and feel this should be recalled. My car is still at the Ford dealership awaiting a part, but I am happy to submit the service report once completed.
