2017 Ford Escape - EXTERIOR LIGHTING Failure Complaint (#b0c554)

2017 Ford Escape

  • Date of Incident: Oct-15, 2021
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-23, 2024
  • Failed components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING

The headlights on my escape constantly go out. The bulbs are never burnt out but the headlights will not work. I have seen countless Ford Escapes that are the same style (so I assume a similar year) that are driving on the road with the same issue. I’ve had two shops look at it and say the bulbs are not burnt out but could not find the issue. This is a severe safety issue and needs to be recalled.
