Window Fell Down And Wouldn't Go Back Up
2013 Ford Escape
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013 Ford Escape has been in the news quite a bit and for all the wrong reasons. Within a few months of its release the SUV was recalled three times, twice because of engine fires.
In July 2012, due to a fuel line that could split and leak, Ford told owners to park their cars because even driving to the dealership for repairs was deemed too dangerous. Instead, in a somewhat unprecedented move, Ford sent tow trucks to pick up the affected vehicles and handed out rental cars while the owners waited for repairs.
A few months later the Escape was recalled again because antifreeze could leak out onto the engine due to a freeze plug becoming dislodged. As the coolant hit the hot engine there was, once again, a threat for fire.
The 2013 is the first model year of the Escape's 3rd generation and proves once again that you want to avoid the first model year when at all possible.

For the SECOND TIME since I purchased this vehicle, the driver's side window fell down and wouldn't come back up! The last time was in the summer. This time it was 17 with below 0 wind chill and I had 30 more minutes to drive home with it freezing, with blowing wind and snow! I didn't buy an old used car.
I take my vehicle in for all the recommend regular maintenance. Is it TOO MUCH TO ASK to buy a $30,000 vehicle and expect that less than two years down the road that I can roll my window up and down when needed???????
