Check Arms spot welds on driver door completely gave out. My door is creaking popping. Door feels like its going to fall off. It literally happened from one day to the next.
The power window switches have a chrome trim piece that has cracked causing a severe cut hazard. This was an issue in 2020 models that was addressed but is still present in my 2022 model.
Hello, just as the drivers side door is suffering from poor welds, we believe the driver side door is well and suspect to all four doors. We are hearing rattling in the Door when opening and closing. It definitely matches other descriptions of issue in the drivers door.
My vehicle has a broken spot weld visible on the driver's door near the hinge. This is becoming a more common problem with Escapes according to posts I'm reading on various forums.

Driver's side door weld spots above and below the door check rod are broken. The door is not closing correctly. I'm afraid it's not going to stay closed while I'm driving. I took it to the local Ford Dealer and they confirmed this. No warnings, it suddenly started making a terrible noise when I open or shut the door.
Drivers Side Door- The -??Door Check/Hinge-?? failed. Originally made several loud popping noises and then became hard to secure/shut. The same situation as the 2021 Ford Escape that I traded for the 2022 Escape. Drivers side door wouldn-??t shut properly. Yes. No.
Paint is bubbling and popping for no reason. Issues have been seen on body panels and seals on inside of car where noting would touch it. Problem spots look like little volcanos or in some cases have already chipped away. Car has only been hand washed and waxed since owned. Application Performance Upgrade 22G08 may need to be expanded out to other colors as this one has discolored plastic panels as compared to metal panels and black base is also showing on nose through clear coat.
When I open my driver side door is clunks very bad. I took into dealer and was told the door check bracket has come unwelded They said that I can keep driving it in this condition until they can get it in to repair. But at first he was saying they would probably replace the door but now that isn-??t happening. They are just going to repair it.
I have a foot operated lift gate and I constantly have to find the exact spot for it to open. Twice it lifted and while I was putting groceries in the back it came back down on me. The first time in smacked the back of my head and left a big knot. The second time it caught my shoulder and then I was able to get out of the way. I thought if the lift gate touched something coming down that it would go back up. It is a 2022 and does not even have 3000 miles on it. No I have not contacted the dealer. I have been extremely ill and it slipped my mind. Thank you very much for a quick reply.
I recently purchased a 2022 Ford Escape and during my first drive with it upon arriving home while unloading the trunk I felt a pain in my hand. I looked where I had place my hand to reach in the trunk and there was razor sharp metal. I contacted Ford and brought the car in to get it deburred and Ford refused to repair the issue telling me all Ford Escapes had the razor sharp metal and that is as it-??s designed. They provided this response in writing. Please keep in mind the jut outs in the photos on the edge are razer sharp metal burrs from the sheet metal cutting process and not paint drip or other buildups on the metal
The contact owns a 2022 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the sun reflected on the metallic dashboard trim and obstructed the contact-??s view while driving. The contact called the local dealer and was informed that the vehicle was designed that way. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to the dealer and the NHTSA. The approximate failure mileage was 0.
