The drivers door made a loud pop when opening and it is now difficult to close and to open. it scrapes and pops out of place along the hinge and on the inside of the door. at one time it was not shutting at all. Hopefully it will not do this again, but something is broken. I was travelling when this happened with a passenger in my car and if m y door would not have shut at all i was far away from home and it would have been a huge inconvenience! I took my car to the dealer i bought it from in my town and he took a video of the noise it makes and the difficulty shutting and opening. He then called me the next day after talking to the techs that they are aware of this happening to some of the Escapes and i will have to seek a private shop to get a new door as he says this is not covered under warranty. This is preposterous and i cannot believe there is not a recall on this issue after i have read about this issue online and it is happening often. There was no warning, just a pop and immediately problems getting the door open and closed.

I-??ve replaced three times my rear window regulators on both sides. This part is only available thru Ford and there isn-??t a 3rd party part. You roll the window down and the regulator stops working/breaks. This has already cost me over $1000 on parts/labor.

Drivers side door brake spot welds have broken causing the door to be unstable, unable to open or close, or to not stay open or closed.

- Wapakoneta, OH, USA

Driver side door started to make a noise while using it. Shortly after the door was hard to close and open at the same time and a pop sound happened and door could not close at all due to door arm breaking loose inside of door. I had to take the door apart and try to get the arm out which was a battle but I managed. Door swings open and closed way too easy now. Driver side window now has scratches from going up and down. I am taking my car in for a recall repair on September 15, 2023 and at that time the dealership will be looking into what they can do for me regarding the door arm repair since this happend just outside of the 36,000 mile warranty. The Ford Escape 2020 is at this moment at 38,525.

Driver side door and power window malfunction

- Desoto, TX, USA

The driver's side door made popping or cracking noises when opening and closing. It eventually locked in place while open, and it could not be closed. I took it to the dealer where they initially said that the check strap needed to be replaced. After the part arrived and they disassembled the door, it was discovered that the welds on the component that holds the check strap in place were broken. The car was moved to the body/collision shop for further assessment. In the meantime, I've discovered this has happened with several other 2020 Escapes, but there is no recall as of yet. Obviously, this is a manufacturer defect that needs to be addressed in a more global and urgent manner.

Drivers door check arm welds broke. Three points. The door is not opening or closing properly. The window does not work properly because of this.

- North Adams , MI, USA

I have been informed that the "door check welds" inside the driver side front door have cracked an separated, that it is not repairable and the door must be replaced. I took the car to the dealer I purchased it from and had it inspected by Ford certified technicians. The vehicle has not, as of this time, been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance company. There were not warning signs until the front door began making and awful noise when opened, I was told by the technicians at the dealership that that was when the welds cracked.

The left front drivers door is difficult to open and close due to broken factory spot welds on the door where it attaches to a factory mechanism. This causes the door to make a popping sound and makes it periodically difficult to both open and securely close the door.
