Escape

  • 20,000 miles
Sunroof/moonroof of our 2012 Ford Escape exploded for no reason a year and a half after purchase. Luckily, we had the cover shut or it would've injured us and our small child. Ford didn't want to take responsibility for it, they wanted us to claim it on our car insurance. I had (and still have) plenty of pictures documenting that this happened from the inside out. Nothing crashed into the sunroof causing it to explode. It was obvious the sunroof exploded from the inside out; it looked like a volcano. Ford still refused to acknowledge the issue. This could've been a very dangerous sitation. Something needs to be done.

Escape

While driving above 50mph, get a loud thud, thud, sound. Along with a change in interior pressure, or rear wheel problem. Slight vibration noticed. Sound relly hurts ears have to reduce speed below 50 mph. Dealer has failed to make an in depth inspection or test drive SUV. Ford Motor Company has indicated this is within normal operating specifications (more or less). Currently paying for a so called top rtaed Ford product. But I can not enjoy the full capacity of it. More than 30 years of buying a Ford product.
