Description of the problem | We parked our car and the door closed and we locked it with the remote as usual and when we came back we opened the door and it worked fine opening it when we closed the door however the door would not latch at all there was nothing jamming the door or anything it just malfunctioned we had to hold it closed with our hands and we immediatly took it to the dealership the whole way driving it there we got alerts from my key the door was opened where we had bought it from they said they didnt know what was wrong and it took almost a week to fix we had to get a rental . I think this is happening just like the ford explorers a latch problem we eventually got it fixed and traded it in for a 2016 ford explorer hopefully this one dose not malfunction like the escape i love ford and always will its just mabey they need to take a break and really catch up on whats really important : performance for a while they are probably stressed right now with all the new models and bringing in the focus rs to the us and now bringing back the ranger and remodeling the licoln navigator and the expedition so its okay but they need to catch a break and catch up with performance for a while. |
