Sun roof exploded while driving
- Camp Hill, PA, USA
There's wheels undercarroage is rusted and within 4 months. I live in a state that isn't in the rust belt. I saw recalls for the Ford Escape in the rust belt for the same problem. It appears some of the vehicles outside of the rust belt have the same issue and it is a safety concern. When driving the car is making a crunching noise and vibrates. In reverse the grinding noise increases. Dealership said Ford Motor Company designed it to rust and called it "engineered rusting". dealership and Ford both said they will not address the defect. This so the same issue on a recall in the rust belt. I'm not inna rust belt yet we have the issue and no one finds it a safety issue.

My car was running, but placed in park, and I was running to grab something from my home. After I exited the car, I noticed my car was rolling down my slanted driveway, and I ran to stop it. Unfortunately, the car hit me and ran me over resulting in a broken ankle. I believe the car slipped out of gear while it was running, and reversed down the driveway.

I was unloading groceries from my grocery cart at the rear of the car with the tail gait in the up position, swinging from the grocery cart to the car with the heavier items, when unknowingly, my feet must have activated the gait to start closing. Next thing I knew, my head hit the gait very hard in the temple area, stunning me and making me dizzy. That happened 5 hours ago and I have a sizable lump on my head, and am worried about a concussion.

The vehicle is made with recycled and/or soybean based product which attract rodents, this new car has over $2000 of rodent damage no one notified me about this issue. We have done everything we can to deter mice, chipmunks etc. 2 other vehicles parked in the same garage do not have this issue. The products are defective because they are a source of food for rodents. The care has been in the rizza Ford orland park, il shop 3 times in 1 1/2 months each time with rodent damage. This is dangerous as car started smoking while driving it because mouse ate through coolant line I was stranded. Car is brand new !!!
