Now my dealer tells me they can not get a 12V battery for my car, they are on back order. I have been without my car since Wednesday night. At least i have a loaner They also said the flapping noise is from the shock, which i told them is impossible. The flapping stops when you turn on the heat,

Well after 2 days at the dealer and many tests, they tell me my battery is bad They tole me the quality of ford batteries since covid is bad, that's why they keep going bad They told me the flapping in the back is the heat shield and they adjusted nut they diid not test drive again. I told them when you turn on the heat the flapping stops. How can it be the heat shield outside of the car Im trying to get them to drive the truck again while they wait for the battery UGGGGG

Yes i am turning it off. I drive 60 miles a day, so i am driving plenty

I now have 9000 miles on my Vapor blue escape and love it. I keep getting a battery saver message on my Ford Pass. I get it on the SYNC4 screen when i open the door, and the interior lights do not come on either. Once i start the truck, the lights and Sync4 come on. I went to the dealer and they tell me there is nothing wrong with the battery. I have a voltmeter coming today from Amazon, and i am going to check the battery myself. Just a side not, i had the same problem on my 2020 Hybrid, and they changed my battery 3 times, and then refused to change it a 4th time when i got to 36,000 miles. They spent 5 hours looking at the truck and have no idea what is wrong. They have a call into the engineers at ford for help. Has anyone had this problem, and it was NOT the battery? My second issue is i have a flapping noise coming from the back of the truck. It only does it when the heat is OFF, going over 50, and the windows are closed. As soon as you turn the heat on, it stops. I am guessing its some sort of vent that lets the air pressure out of the truck. Has anyone else had this issue, and found a resolution?

Its not normal, my 2020 Hybrid did not do it.

Do you have a Hybrid? i have the same problem since the day i picked up my escape. It only does it when your in electric mode. I saw some postings on the Maverick site that talks about the same problem hey even have a recording, which sounds just like my noise. I have not brought it to the dealer yet, i am guessing they will have no clue what is wrong at this point until mre people complain

Interesting, yours looks darker than mine. Your right it looks different depending on sun and how you face the car

Yes that is vapor blue it looks different in different light and angles.

I went to see my truck today. It actually arrived Friday night - 4 months to the day when i placed my order. Came pretty from the plant Left the plant 4/22 and arrived in NJ 4/28 It came off the train the evening of 4/27 and went right on a truck to the dealer. Dealer ship was closed so i just have outside pics of Vapor blue. It looks nothing like the pre-production models shows, and nothing like the color on the ford website. My dealer also had pant samples back in December, and it looks nothing like those either. It looks just like the Mustang Vapor Blue. I hope to pick up Thursday or Saturday. The lease rates are through the roof, the interest rate is 9% on the money, Ford is crying no one is leasing, but they jacked up the leasing price. I am going to have to purchase and not lease First time since 2005

My dealer called me. My Escape Elite Hybrid in Vapor blue arrived today at 4:45. It came pretty quick It left Louisville on a rail car Saturday 4/23 at 8PM It arrived in Twin Oak PA on 4/26, and was unloaded on 4/27 Arrived today in Wayne NJ by truck at 4:35 The ford estimate to the dealer was 5/1 - 5/14 I guess it was not too bad, i ordered it on 12/28 exactly 4 months ago. Had the plant not shut down i would have had it a month ago!

Did the chat line give you the car number along with initials? As far as i know they load up right at the plant TTGX97**** is my car number.

so far my CSX tracking has been tracking today i checked and the line told me the car left Cincinnati Ohio at 5:05 this morning

i am in Northern NJ so opposite direction

My tracker went back to my order is confirmed and awaiting being sent to a factory, even thought i know its built. So i chatted online and they told me that my truck was on a CSX rail car with an arrive time between May 4 - 10 to the dealer. They also gave me the rail car number which is neat, because i can now track the location of the rail car at any time by calling CSX's automated system. I found out at as of 1pm the rail car is still in Louisville KY. They must be still loading the train the CSX number is 1 877 744 7279 Option 2 - 1 - 3 You then give them the rail car number (letters and numbers)

Thinks are finally moving along i hope!!
