Escape

  • 57,187 miles
The contact owns a 2017 Ford Escape. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed with her grandson seated in the rear passenger-??s side of the vehicle, the rear passenger-??s side window independently started going up and down and her grandson-??s arm got closed in the window, causing a minor injury but had not sought medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the window was fixed; however, several days later while driving with her puppy inside the vehicle, the window independently rolled down almost causing the puppy to jump out the window. The window failed to roll back up as needed. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact notified the dealer of a failure with the button for the window on the driver-??s side. The window switch was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that after arriving at the residence the window rolled up independently. The contact inquired about NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V617000 (Visibility, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The contact paid out of pocket for the switch replacement. The manufacturer was contacted, and the contact was advised to file a complaint with the NHSTA Hotline. The failure mileage was 57,187.
