I was on my way home when my car notified me that my tire pressure had dropped too low. Within 10 minutes it was completely out of air. I was driving in town and didn't do anything that could have caused a puncture this bad. I believe my tire had the same issue described in the recall for the Continental tires on other Escapes. I'm trying to avoid having this issue again with any of the other tires. The mechanic said it was a tear in the side wall and was unsure what would have caused it.

The car camera goes black with squiggly lines when putting car in reverse. The car has less than 2000 miles. The dealership states Ford is aware of the issue and there is a huge back order on getting a replacement. Now I have a whirling sound when speed is between 25 mph - 39 mph. Once you let up on acceleration it stops or once the speed has gone beyond 39 mph. While driving on groves highways you can feel backend of the car moving around. I had this issue with a Fusion and had to replace the tires with a different brand due to no control of the vehicle in the winter. My 2017 Escape does not do this. Also, the drivers side trim does not fit snug, and has to be replaced and the dealership said Ford is aware of this issue as well. Lastly, the brakes make a loud squealing noice with a heavy morning dew or when raining.
