2 Rearview System Braking problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2023

The vehicle's driver's door malfunctioned. It is available for inspection, but I paid to fix it earlier this week out of my pocket. It was confirmed by an auto body repair shop. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives. There was no warning lamps' messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The first time it occurred was early last year. It was fixed under the warranty manufacturer twice. The last time it was a week ago, but it was outside the warranty when that occurred. So I paid to fix.

I have a 2020 Ford Escape that was not included in the recall 20c19/20v575, however my vehicle has been having the issue. Ford dealerships and the Ford customer support were not helpful and said they couldn't fix the issue since my specific vehicle was not included in the recall, even though my vehicle is having the same issue. They directed me to file a complaint here in order to be added to the recall.

My vehicle has been in the shop (northgate Ford) so many times and they said that there's nothing wrong. The service manager went out with us and saw it wasn't working properly. My car isn't safe to drive as the lane keeping system tried taking me off the road so many times. The dealership wants me to trade my car in and I said absolutely not. I don't want anyone killed because of the problems with this vehicle.

On Sep 02, 2020 I was sold a-2020 Ford Escape by bolivar Ford ,bolivar, TN 38008. I was not told by the salesman that the car had a open safety recall and should not have been sold to me until the recall was fix. When I test drove the car I notice the camera would work some time and other time it would not. I have received a recall letter from Ford but they said that the parts were not available to fix the camera . It is very unsafe when backing up when the backup camera is not working.
