Front drivers side door suddenly started making crunching sound when opening. There was no damage, accident, warning or any other incident that proceeded it. It was working normally and then it wasn-??t. It is a safety issue because the door doesn-??t open fully and the window and door locks do also not work properly. Window will roll down but not up which makes it impossible to secure vehicle. Cannot open locked door with remote, must manually unlock from passenger side. Could be dangerous if needing to get in vehicle quickly. Was taken to Ford dealer who said door needed to be replaced but didn-??t have a body shop and left it to us to figure out.

The door check arm on the driver's side door weld broke. Before it happened, it would make a noise when closing before it broke. The dealer has confirmed it and wants to replace the whole door. I would be required to pay for it plus the painting of the door. I have found that this problem has happened before. This issue is a safety problem and should be a recall. There was no accident. This part was failing for 3 to 4 weeks. I had no clue the part was failing. The car is currently at the dealer.

- Toledo, OH, USA

Drivers door stop latch welds failed. This severely limits smooth opening and closing of the door as it binds up while moving the door. This happened at 34,500 miles, so fortunately it will be covered by the warranty. If this poor quality manufacturing causes it to happen to the other 3 doors, who will pay for this? Please issue a recall, this is a very common problem.

The spot welds in the front driver's side door have failed, the door makes a loud popping noise when opening or closing the door, and the window has difficulty going up and down. The vehicle would be available for inspection. An internet search of this problem has indicated that my door could come open without warning. I have taken the vehicle to a body shop who have confirmed the spot welds have failed. The door began to make a slight creaking noise about 2 weeks prior to my noticing the spot welds had failed.

The door weld on the door is causing it to pop when you open and close the door.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

In the fall of 2022, the driver door on my 2021 Ford Escape would not close properly and I took to the Ford Dealership as I told them it felt unsafe as I felt the door wanted to fall off when driving as the door was physically moving in and out. They laughed at me and said that would never happen. After two visits, they realized the weld had broken on the door and said they would order a new one. They said they had never seen that on a passenger vehicle. It took 12 weeks for the door to arrive and they first said they would cover the rental vehicle and then came back the next day and said they would not cover a rental vehicle even when I said I felt unsafe driving it. So I kept driving it because it was my only vehicle. Ford Corporate tried to charge me $571 to pay for my part of the repair. They also dismissed that it was a larger problem. I have documentation regarding these interactions. The dealer stepped in and covered my portion of the repair. After they replaced the door, I reported the door appeared to be falling of the hinges and they investigated and said because they do not replace doors at the dealership often, they improperly installed the door as one of the hinge bolts was already missing. In April, 2023, I traded my 2021 Escape in for a 2022 Escape as I did not feel safe because of the door and the dealer agreed. It cost an additional $5,000 to get out of the lease, but it was worth my safety.
