boudhaquebec Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi everybody. Yesterday I lost my Escape for the day at the dealer. The main reason was a cracked windshield. Not Ford's fault of course. Got a small rock at the bottom between the wipers that made a small hole, even bent a wiper, then it craked in all directions from the hole.These new windshields are so thin it's amazing. No wonder it cracked like that. But it's cheaper than I thought. Under $350.00. As long as I had an appointment, I asked them to look at the 4 door handles that would stick open when cold and humid. Also the passenger's back door that wouldn't close (frozen latch) 2 times during the holidays. The first time I managed to close it and the second time, I was lucky to have someone with me that held the stupid door with 2 hands till I got home... Great for a 40k car... They took all 4 doors apart and lubricated all the parts.The service manager told me that the robots didn't do their job properly. All the parts were practicly bare. No wonder it froze he said. That seems to be fixed now. But of course it's not as cold now... Anyway, we'll see... The other thing I asked them to look at was my "ECOBOOST/4WD" logo under the "TITANIUM" badge on the back door. I noticed a few weeks ago that I couln't see the"4WD" anymore. Looking closely, I saw that even some of the blue and green was peeling off the words also. Now it's completely blank. The manager told me I was the first to ask for that. Of course, none in stock. Has to be ordered .So I'll pay them them another visit when they receive it. .

Guest abjb Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 You would think they would learn. The Blue Oval on my 05 F250 was replaced under warranty, the second didn't last as long as the first. ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blockisle9 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I Just noticed my Eco Boost Badge also has all the colors fading. Has the replacements been any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
