My rear passenger and driver door panels have completed been pulled off and hard to open the door because the panels were caught on the recall door latches. I've had the door latches replaced and it still continued, they say the panels won't be replaced under warranties I have but I told dealership because of the latches that were recalled that my door panels are doing this if the latches were good and not recalled in the first place I would not have the issue. Since my panels are messed up because of a recall specifically made on my vehicle I should not have to pay 400-600 to get my door panels replaced when it was out of my control

In 2014, I bought a new Ford Escape from rhinebeck Ford in rhinebeck NY. It remained in pristine condition until its untimely 'death' on August 10, 2020. Prior to August 10, it was back at the dealership approximately 15 times to address safety recalls. On August 10 my wife, son and niece broke down in the middle of the road. We brought the car to rhinebeck Ford. After examining the car, we were told that the engine and cylinders have coolant in them, and the transmission is full of metal filings. Both of these issues combined mean that the car is diseased; however rhinebeck Ford is still in the process of creating a comprehensive list of the cause of death. Fortunately these dangerous defects did not result in injury to my family but they certainly do represent a serious safety risk. On August 10, the car had approximately 108,000 miles on it. I was sold a defective and unsafe vehicle and Ford Motor Company is not willing to make this right. I made numerous phone calls to Ford corporate offices and was told that since the warranty was expired and there are no active recalls pertaining to defective transmissions or engines that they would not stand by their product.

My 2014 Ford is leaking engine coolant into my engine as well as oil. Which is causing my car to decrease in acceleration and has caused my car to stall on city street. I took my car to a Ford dealership and they made it worst by not recognizing that this was a problem concerning a recall on Ford and refuses to fix my car.

Vehicle caught fire somewhere in the engine due to a recall issue (overheating of the engine cylinder head, etc.). Ford metro motors at #405 estate annas retreat, St. Thomas, vi 00802 did not and won't fix the vehicle without payment from me as the vehicle owner. The vehicle has been at that establishment since June 2019.

While car is in motion our 2014 Ford Escape stalls. We turn the key off, turn it back in and it will sometimes run for a bit before stalling again and sometimes stall immediately. Currently this has happened on city streets and parking lots. Once while turning. Others going straight. Luckily we have not had this happen on the interstate yet.

Coolant issues similar to those included in the part 573 safety recall 17V-209, though my vehicle was manufactured a few weeks later and not included in that recall, as well as electrical issues that were similar to other recalls that didn't include my VIN. In June 2019, it started with the vehicle not turning on or shifting out of park intermittently.. work was performed and then a week later P0303 cylinder misfire.. again work was completed, the code came back, and now Ford is recommending replacing the engine but will not cover the costs due to being 5 years and in excess of 60K miles. Took for 2nd opinion and ran out of coolant and overheated less than 5 miles away from Ford dealership, even though they just replaced the coolant overflow tank and filled it.. continues need coolant every few miles. Seems crazy that a vehicle that stayed on top of routine maintenance and has not been involved in an accident or excessive conditions would need a new engine at less than 94K miles and is the consumer's responsibility to foot the bill. I've already spent almost $3K on this issue and Ford verbally told me just the engine would be around $7-8K without labor. They also had their sales department call me and offer to "take a couple hundred off a new vehicle" for my current one. Very disheartening to hear that when I've taken care of the vehicle as the sole owner, less a few recommended tire rotations.

The multi-function display in my instrument panel went blank. As a result the warning chimes, messages and warning lights are non-functional. I am not warned of safety issues such as low tire pressure or disabled airbags. This is also the only place on the car where the mileage is shown so I don't even know my mileage!
