BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
Alert on my dashboard flashes and I have received several "Park Aid Malfunction" Alerts. It advises me the the park assist or sensing system has detected a problem. It states if you can not activate your sensing system or have frequent active park assist faults, please have system checked by an authorized dealer. I have taken it in to my dealer 2 times now to have it serviced and once again I have had the system go off again, the next day I was driving. It has gone off on 3/13/25, 3/17/25, 3/25/25, 4/10/25, 4/14/25. I only have 3,900 miles on it. I leased this car in August of 2024. This alarm scares the crap out of me when I am driving. This last time I called my dealer told me a new update is coming out in May and that I need to wait for that to come out. But seems every time they do an update, I keep getting this signal. I am very frustrated at this time. Can you look into it for me.

Potential Consequences:
When turning off my 2024 Ford Escape ST Line, if I sit in the vehicle for at least 15minutes to 30minutes there's a clicking noise coming from under the hood of the vehicle. Sounds like a ABS issue. I tried turning the vehicle back on, stepping on the brake pedal (push start) the brakes will go down into the floor, I then let off the brake, & proceed to start vehicle again and now the brakes are fine. I'm aware there's an issue, I was told from the dealership I have some sort of ABS problem, however the dealership will NOT repair unless there's a code reading the problem...

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
Two weeks ago I noticed a crack on my windshield that had creeped up from the inside. This is a brand new Ford Escape purchased 8 months ago that I barely use because I work from home. I took the car to Mossy Ford in San Diego where several workers took an object to the bottom portion of the windshield. I was then instructed to file a report with Ford's customer service, who did nothing for a week. I was then instructed to return to Mossy Ford for a 'pen test' which I did yesterday, April 9. You can rub your fingers along the crack on the outside pane and feel nothing. They allege that a dot at the bottom of the windshield created the crack. There are a number of reports on the Internet pertaining to cracks in the windshield - suggesting installation problems and/or quality of glass. Not only will Ford not replace at their cost, I am fearful for my life with this car.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
While driving with the adaptive cruise control, the vehicle displayed a hazard warning and beeping to take control of the vehicle. Then multiple other warnings followed including Pre-collision assist not available, check parking sensors, blind spot system fault, cross-traffic system fault, and Front camera fault service required. These messages would go away after turning the vehicle off, but would come back between 30 or 40 miles into a drive. Then in the past 2 days they stayed on as soon as it was started. No cruise control, no blind spot detection, and lights and warnings have been constant on my dash. I took it to the Ford dealership and they did not have any recalls on the vehicle. They said that they reset the IPMA and did a IPMA alignment. They test drove for 6 miles and all of the warnings came back on. They advised that another software update is coming in April. They reset the IPMA again and said that when it comes back on to contact them after the new update comes. I called Ford Warranty Customer Service and they advised that the vehicle is still under warranty and to take it to a Ford dealership. I told them that I did that and that the dealership is unsure of the problem and guessed that the upcoming update could fix it. I told them that I'm driving a vehicle right now that the dealership fully expects will go into a fault again while driving. I also raised concern that I drive a lot of miles and my warranty could expire before they have a confirmed repair for this problem. The reply was to take it to a Ford dealership.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The car would act like it would die or cut off after idling for a while at a drive thru or school pick up. Took the car twice to the dealership they couldn't replicate it. Then the car died and shut off in the middle of a busy intersection at a red light. I was nearly hit head on and rear ended. I got the car started and out of the way and I had it towed to the dealership. The cars check engine light was on. It had never shut off before or had the engine light come on until then. It said crank shaft sensor and the PCM weren't allowing proper engine control. And the dealership has had it sense then. Bought the car in August 2024 and January 2025 the dealership has had my car. It is now march 2025. I have invoices. They say it's fixed every time I would pick the vehicle up and it never is.
