My dealer told me they don't have the parts as well. They said when the parts do arrive they are going to send my car to an apolster company in town that would take care of it better than they would.
I received a letter about those two and a third:

It may be possible that he front driver and/or passenger seatback assemblies were produced with sub-standard welds. A sub-standard weld joint may separate and result in noise in the seatback or a loose or leaning seatback. Also, sub-standard welds may not meet the requirements of FMVSS 207, potentially increasing the risk of injury in certain crashes. Ford has authorized your dealer to replace the affected seatback assembly or assemblies.
Well no issues downloading, installing or submitting the install to Ford. It seems like with the update the pairing process of my cell phone and indexing of my usb drive are quicker.
I noticed the same thing on my driver's front wheel. There are four almost exact marks about four inches or so long around the wheel. I thought my wife hit a curb but there are no marks on the rear wheel. She used one of the older car washes where only the driver side front wheel gets locked into place. Mystery solved.
My dealer checked my Escape at 1000 miles, didn't change oil or anything, just a check on fluids, tires, etc at no cost. Then I had them complete a 5000 mile maintenance which was pretty much an oil change and tire rotation.
You do not have to press the brake pedal when you use the remote start. When you enter the vehicle you only have to push the start button. I do this all the time.
I received the letter about Ford extending the warranty on the Accessory Protocal Interface Module for a total of 5 years. I updated our Escape Titanium without the Nav package about two weeks ago and everything is working smooth so far. No clock issues, no issues with the presets not showing the stations, and no freezing screen issues. I will keep my fingers crossed.
To use the remote start you have to push the lock button first, then the start button twice, even if the car is already locked. Also, when you get in the car you have to push the ignition button before you can place the car into drive.
I was wondering how many gallons of gas it usually takes to fill the tank. I only drive the new 2013 Escape now and then (it's my wife's car) and recently had the opporunity to put gas in it. The gauge was almost on empty and the low fuel light was on. After filling it up, it only took a little over 11 gallons to fill it. I thought that this was unusual because in my 06 escape, I usually have to put around 13 gallons to fill it when the gauge is close to empty.
