While routinely flipping the visor down during driving to block late day sun, the visor came unlatched from right side holder blocking my view while driving. It is a two handed operation to get it back into the clip. This is obviously not safe since you need at least one hand to drive. It almost completely blocks my vision until I get it re attached. This is not the first time this has happened and unfortunately I forget that it happens consistently. I have been very reluctant to use my sun visor. I am not an engineer but the upside down u shaped clip that holds the visor in place just does not work. The same thing happens on the passenger side. My other cars do not have this problem.
2020 Ford escape wipers keep stuttering, moving very slowly, freezing midway through cycle, or fail to operate during adverse weather conditions. This results in poor to no visibility sometimes with the wiper blocking vision directly. This is a known recall and Ford has refused to repair the wiper until the unveil their solution for all potentially impacted vehicles. They acknowledge that a wiper motor would repair our vehicle right now but told us to wait for months while they determine a global fix. Recall number we believe is 26s14. Both Ford America and local dealer will not perform work. Communications were via phone call with both dealer and Ford America.
