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.

Driver door popping and cracking arm weld broken

Door latch on drivers side has begun to make popping noise every time it is opened or closed.

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.

My front drivers door started squeaking and yesterday it started making this crunching noise. I noticed that I have three holes on the inside front door panel where the hinges are. I was told by a mechanic that the door check arm on the interior of the door the weld did not hold and that was the noise I was hearing it braking. I can not open my door all the way and it gets stuck open sometimes. I called Ford and because my car is 2800 miles over warranty they will do nothing. Upon investigation I have found you have an investigation into this problem SSM 50150. I have a Ford 2020 Escape. How is it that the weld on a 3 year old car breaks? I have not had it repaired because of the cost involved. I feel this should be escalated to a recall.

Recall 22n17 needs to include the gear knob for the chrome peeling. It cut my finger and thumb.

My compressor went out during a road trip and it spread metal particles through the entire AC system, ruining basically the whole thing. My concern is the sheer number of ford escapes that seem to be having issues with their compressors. So many that the part is on back order almost everywhere. I think it-??s worth looking into that Ford may need to recall this part.

The driver side door brake isn't working properly due to broken welds in the assembly. I took it to my Ford dealer, and they will not give warranty consideration because the vehicle is over 36,000 miles, but under 3 years. I have done some research, and this is an ongoing problem with this model year. Their solution is to have me pay for an entire new door and assembly at a cost of between $2500-$3500.

Dealer advised it is a bracket inside the door that has broken, possibly due to broken welds holding said bracket. The Dealer advised that this is an unfixable issue, and the entire door needs replaced. If it is not fixed, the dealer said it will cause other issues with the door, possibly leaving it inoperable. Dealer also confirmed this is a very common issue with this model and that it is not covered. The Dealer said I will need to repair at my own expense, with an estimated cost of $2,000 or more.
