The car camera goes black with squiggly lines when putting car in reverse. The car has less than 2000 miles. The dealership states Ford is aware of the issue and there is a huge back order on getting a replacement. Now I have a whirling sound when speed is between 25 mph - 39 mph. Once you let up on acceleration it stops or once the speed has gone beyond 39 mph. While driving on groves highways you can feel backend of the car moving around. I had this issue with a fusion and had to replace the tires with a different brand due to no control of the vehicle in the winter. My 2017 Escape does not do this. Also, the drivers side trim does not fit snug, and has to be replaced and the dealership said Ford is aware of this issue as well. Lastly, the brakes make a loud squealing noice with a heavy morning dew or when raining.
The rear safety camera does not work get wavy lines similar to a bad tv picture. Problem is by some reports due to hot weather (+ 70 farenheight) this is bs I have had 3 other vehicles same location same weather no problems. Runing ac does not solve problem. Went to dealer tech found loose connection. But problem continues this is a definite safety failure that is not fixed by Ford. Problem occurs when moved to reverse from park . Hasoccured every day since delivery.
The rear view/backup camera has not worked since the day we drove it home. It will work intermittently but most of the time it shows wavy lines across the screen. Occasionally after shifting from reverse to drive, the camera will start working but the rear view picture will remain on the screen even while in drive! there is also a strange hump in the dash on the passenger side as if something is pushing up from underneath. The dealer was contacted the day after purchase and we were told to bring the vehicle back for inspection. Now we are told that parts are not available and they don't know when they will be. Ford has been contacted and we are getting no help from them either. We have a brand new, expensive, defective, and potentially dangerous vehicle. It also has the strange lump in the driver's seat that others have mentioned.
My 2020 Ford Escape's automatic transmission makes odd whirring sounds and shifts hard often while driving. Automatic transmission still has a hard time shifting smoothly even when the vehicles been warmed up and driven for at least 10 minutes. The rear view camera has a mind of its own and doesn't always work. Even when it is working the feed is usually terrible quality. When it doesn't work you can't see anything out of the rear view camera, the image quality turns greyish and images lag. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
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.

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.
