2020 Ford ESCAPE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1638347
Internal NHTSA #	11301659
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	ESCAPE
Model Year	2020
File date	23/01/20
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Most states require trailers of 3,000lb gvwr, and some states only 1,500lb, to have an independent braking system on at least one axle of the trailer. Ford sells vehicles with factory tow packages rated at 3,500lb, but does not supply even an optional electric brake controller. Further, they don't supply a "plug 'n' play" harness for an aftermarket controller as do many manufacturers. This situation has prevailed from at least 2013 onward. When we purchased our 2020 escape sel with factory towing, we fully expected that this shortcoming would have been resolved. It has not. And that it has existed for two generations of the escape spanning eight model years leads me to conclude ford is willfully ignoring the laws of many states, and potentially endangering the drivers of these cars and other drivers sharing the roadways.
