36 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/22/2020

When I put the vehicle in 'park' on a flat surface, the e-brake turns on automatically, but when I park on a slight incline, this does not happen. Additionally, when stopped at lights, I noticed that the vehicle was no longer turning the engine off when at a complete stop. When I got home, I went through some of the screens and it told me that the auto start/stop was disabled due to being on a slope (but I was on a flat surface). Additionally, the windshield wiper fluid is not coming out of the lines, but the pump is working because I can hear it, possible clogged lines. Lastly, infotainment system is not working consistently with apple carplay � sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn�t, usually random.

Nothing has happened yet. . . But a few very close calls. . . . The equipment that the rear view mirror is attached to is huge and the mirror is such that is blocks a major part of the view to the right. . . Esp when I am on a curvy road. . . It literally blocks anything in that area. . . Anyone on a sidewalk etc etc. . . . When I need to look to the right I have to bend down or lean over. . . I am going to hit or kill someone. . . . I have tried calling Ford. . . . But have been told they have no safety dept. . . I am spoken to people in every country who do not know how to get me to the right dept. . . I have left my phone number etc. . . I also asked if the mirror can be swapped out for a smaller one. . . . I have had to resort to putting the mirror up and down. . . Vs the way it is sold. . . . . Also, this car was mad with no cover for the cargo area. . . . I have talked to many people about this. . Apparently they are waiting for quotes from manufacturers. . . . I often put my car on transporters. . . I move artwork and antiques. . . I would never have bought a car with no cargo cover. . . . . I am often in s FL. . . Cars are broken into often. . . Yet, at the car show there was on on display. . . Tricking the public. . . . They are hiding from these issues. . . Please help me get answers. . . Have leased a Ford over 8 years. . . Never again. . . And I want people to know these issues so they can rethink the purchase. . . Safety should come first. . . . . . . I am not including pics now. . . Just sit in any 2020 Escape. . . . .

Upon opening the panoramic sunroof, the shade normally rolls back first into position one, with an option of fully open in position two. The shade, going to position one, made some pop noises and shot plastic into the cabin of the vehicle. The shade now sags in the middle obstructing the rear view. It can be closed, but it seems there are guide clips that have snapped, which held the shade in place when rolling back.
