The 2017 Ford Escape seems to be facing complaints from drivers regarding various paint issues on the car's exterior. The problem is more common among those with white paint, where the paint tends to bubble and flake over time, resulting in significant damage to the finish. Affected areas include the hood, roof, and around the windshield, often exposing the metal underneath. Ford has not taken any action to address the problem, leaving drivers to handle it on their own. It may be necessary to fully repaint the vehicle, which can be quite costly, ranging from $298 to $986.

I'm dealing with a similar problem on my 2017 Ford Escape. About eight months after the warranty expired, I saw the paint chipping near the windshield on the driver's side. Both Ford and the dealership didn't offer any assistance. Count me in for a class action lawsuit if there's one happening.

I'm dealing with the same issue on my 2017 white Ford Escape, where the paint is peeling around the windshield. When I reached out to Ford, they claimed it's not their responsibility since the warranty has expired. However, I've only owned the car for a year since March 6, 2021. I then decided to contact the Attorney General's office, which prompted Ford to reply with the standard response they give to those not covered under warranty. Now, I've sought the advice of an attorney to explore the possibility of a class action lawsuit. This law firm has successfully handled a similar case for Mercury vehicle owners in the past, so I'm currently awaiting a call to assess if we have a viable case.

I'm having the same problem with paint peeling near the windshield on both sides of my car! It's a Lightning Blue color with titanium trim.

2017 Ford Escape Titanium with bubbling and peeling paint around the driver's side window pillar. Ford is only offering to pay for a quarter of the repair costs. Seeking legal representation for a potential class action lawsuit.
-
I'm pleased to say that Ford took care of the paint problem on my 2017 Escape, and they covered the cost.
-
It's been a couple of weeks since I first saw the paint chipping problem (with big pieces) on the left side of my windshield. It really hurts me because this is the first car I've bought on my own in years. I'm worried about washing it because I don't want the issue to get worse. If Ford doesn't own up to it, then who else can I turn to for help?
-
I'm dealing with the same problem and it's incredibly annoying! My 2017 Ford Escape SE in Star White has the paint peeling off near the driver side front pillar by the windshield. I can see more areas where this is likely to happen too. I took it to the dealership right away, but unfortunately, I was 1,580 miles over my 36,000-mile warranty. I didn't receive any assistance from the dealer or Ford, and I'm really let down. I'm wondering where the class action lawsuit is - count me in!
-
Recently, I experienced something odd - a patch of blue paint near my windshield on the driver's side of my 2017 Ford Escape peeled off after a car wash.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium that has fewer than 18,000 miles on it. The paint around the windshield has completely worn off! Ford declined to address the issue, and the insurance I purchased with the car (ECP) also denied coverage, claiming it wasn't their responsibility. There was no hail or snow damage – just shoddy craftsmanship. It looks like this isn't an isolated incident. Who should we reach out to about this frustrating situation?!?
-
I'm experiencing a similar issue. The right side of my car was fixed in July, but now they've completely stopped communicating with me. Despite making numerous calls to customer service, I haven't received any response. I do have the means to pay for repairs, but it's unfair that I have to. This is the first new car I've bought in 30 years, and I take excellent care of it. It seems like Ford is turning their problem into a problem for the consumer. I'm considering joining a class action lawsuit.
-
I recently got myself a used 2017 Ford Escape SE Sport in Lightning Blue. Unfortunately, I noticed the paint chipping off the passenger-side pillar near the windshield. Since the warranty is no longer valid, I plan on getting the pillar repainted and crossing my fingers. It's frustrating that Ford seems to be overlooking this common problem.
-
When Ford realized there was an issue with the paint job before the car left the factory, they decided it would be more cost-effective to have customers pay for a new paint job rather than issuing a product recall. This decision may not affect their business negatively, but personally, I will never visit a Ford dealership again.
-
My navy blue 2017 Escape is experiencing paint peeling near the windshield on the driver's side, revealing a sizable area of exposed metal. Given the prevalence of this issue among similar vehicles, it appears to be a widespread defect.
-
I'd like to join the class action lawsuit as well. I own a 2017 white Ford Escape and I'm experiencing paint chipping near the windshield.
-
I have a 2017 Lightning Blue Escape and the paint is peeling on the windshield A Pillars on both sides. The dealership told me that I'm outside the warranty period and in order to fix it, they'll need to remove the windshield, which means I'll need to buy a new one for $862.70 plus labor. The total cost is estimated to be $3,418. This seems like a recurring craftsmanship problem that Ford should address. If they don't assist me, I'll be seeking legal help.
-
The problem remains the same, and Ford's inadequate responses are unchanged. In 2017, there was flaking on the windshield, but it seems like Ford is indifferent to the issue.
-
On March 24, 2021, I recently noticed that the white 2017 Escape Titanium I own, which has 33,680 miles on it, has paint flaking off on the left side of the driver's side windshield. The paint is coming off in large pieces and appears to be a defect in the paint because the metal underneath is discolored and showing signs of rust formation. I don't think a standard repair will be a permanent solution, only a temporary fix. The best fix would be a complete repaint with a new warranty on the paint to address this issue permanently. This defect will likely lower the vehicle's value in a trade or sale. "Could Ford please assist us with this matter?
-
I've got the same problem with my white 2017 Escape. The paint is bubbling and peeling on both sides of the windshield. It's most noticeable on the driver's side. I noticed it when the car reached 48,000 miles. I have a dealership appointment scheduled for next week, but based on what's being discussed in these online forums, it seems like they might not be able to assist me.
-
Our 2017 Ford Escape is experiencing blue paint chipping near the windshield, but Ford has not responded to our inquiries. We may have to consider taking legal action, as this issue occurred within warranty and our car has just over 10,000 miles.
-
What are the plans for Ford Motor Company in the future?
-
I'm experiencing a similar issue with my 2017 Ford Escape. The paint near the driver's side windshield is peeling, which is unexpected for a vehicle of this age.
-
I'm experiencing a similar problem with peeling paint near the windshield of my 2017 Ford Escape. I think it's due to a mistake in design when they removed the molding around the windshield. Ford should definitely address this with a recall since it's a safety concern that could lead to rusting. If left untreated, rust could weaken the windshield and pose a risk to the driver.
-
I feel the same way! A few months ago, I saw the paint peeling off near the windshield. Interestingly, this happened three months after the basic warranty expired, and my extended warranty doesn't cover paint problems. Count me in for any class action lawsuit too. From experience, I know that car dealers and manufacturers often refuse to own up to such issues. It's really frustrating to invest a lot of money in a new car only to have something like this occur.
-
The same issue happened with my 2017 Ford Escape, only 34,000 miles in and the paint started peeling near the window. I got it repaired even though the warranty had expired. They advised me to keep the receipt because if there's a recall later on, I could get a refund. I reached out to Ford, but they weren't willing to discuss the matter since I was no longer under warranty.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape and the paint has chipped off completely around the windshield. Ford should address this issue for all the customers who purchased these vehicles from them.
-
My 2017 Escape in Lightening Blue is experiencing a similar issue. The paint is peeling on the driver's side near the windshield. I may need to contact Consumer Reports to address this issue, which seems to be a paint defect.
-
I just spotted the paint peeling down to the bare metal on the driver's side of the windshield. Can you believe it, with only 54,000 miles on the car!
-
Count me in, too. I recently got a 2017 Escape with the Titanium package in white color. It hasn't even reached 21,000 miles yet. After giving it a wash last Sunday, I was surprised to see that the paint on the driver's side of the front window had peeled off significantly. I contacted the dealership where I made the purchase and discovered that the extended warranty I got does not cover paint issues. They instructed me to take specific pictures of the affected area and my car, which they will pass on to Ford for evaluation. Judging by the feedback I've seen so far, I'm not feeling very optimistic about a favorable resolution.
-
I bought a blue 2017 Ford Escape half a year back, and now the paint near the windshield is starting to peel. Please include me in any class action lawsuit related to this issue.
-
I'm experiencing a similar issue with my 2017 Ford Escape. The paint is coming off near the windows, which seems like a clear defect.
-
Is there an issue with the paint on my 2017 Ford Escape if it's peeling near the windshields and body?
-
I also own a 2017 Escape Titanium in blue, and I noticed that the paint was peeling around the driver's side windshield. I took it to the dealership, and they fixed it without any issues. However, now, six months later, I see the paint peeling on the other side of the windshield. It's beyond the warranty period, so we'll have to wait and see if they'll fix it this time.
-
I recently discovered a few weeks back that my Ruby Red 2017 Escape, which has slightly surpassed 51,000 miles, has bubbling occurring along the seam on the interior bottom of the front doors for both the driver and passenger sides. Ugh, it's so frustrating! I also own a 2008 car that has exceeded 200,000 miles, and it hasn't shown any signs of rust so far.
-
I had a similar issue where the material was peeling off in big pieces near the driver's side pillar of the windshield when my car was still under warranty. It got fixed at that time. Recently, I noticed the peeling occurring again, about 6 inches from the original spot, this time underneath the top edge of the windshield on the roof. Since this happened after the warranty expired by 4,000 miles, I reached out to Ford and filed a case to address this second problem. I'm currently waiting to see how they will handle it. I reside in Southern California, so there's no hail damage to blame. (Vehicle: 2017 Blue Escape Titanium)
-
I'm experiencing the exact same problem with the paint chipping on the left side of my windshield. It's shocking - there's silver metal showing through underneath the peeling paint!
-
Similar problem with a blue 2017 Ford Escape, where the paint is peeling around the windshield.
-
I'm dealing with the same problem with my 2017 Ford Escape (color: liquid white gold) and I'm not willing to shell out money for the fix. This is a problem on Ford's end. Count me in for a class-action lawsuit too.
-
I'm encountering the same problem with my windshield on my 2017 Lightening Blue Metallic vehicle. Ford's response is that they cannot cover paint damage caused by things like chips, scratches, dents, bird droppings, or hail. It's puzzling how this could happen around the windshield. I brought it to the dealership body department, and they acknowledged it was a Ford issue, but they are unable to do anything because Ford won't take responsibility. I want to join the class action lawsuit.
-
2017 Escape in Blue color, with paint chipping away more and more near the windshield, and slightly over 30,000 miles on the odometer.
-
My 2017 Ford Escape in blue is also experiencing peeling paint, which is incredibly frustrating. I was quoted $1200 for the repairs, which is unacceptable! Please inform me if there is a class action lawsuit happening regarding this issue.
-
I drive a white 2017 Ford Escape SE, just like lots of other folks do. Unfortunately, the paint has chipped off quite a bit near the windshield and on the driver's side, revealing the bare metal underneath.
-
I'm dealing with the same problem, feel free to check out my post on Ford's Facebook page where I shared some photos. I'm open to joining a group lawsuit. Like everyone else, I've decided that this will be the final Ford vehicle I buy.
-
2017 Ford Escape in Pearl White with paint bubbling and peeling around the windshield, revealing bare metal. This issue is internal and not caused by dings or external factors. The paint is only four years old - hard to believe, right?
-
I'm experiencing a similar problem. I own a 2018 Ford Escape in blue, and the paint around the windshield is peeling. I recently had it serviced, and everything seemed fine. However, when I drove to North Carolina a week later, I noticed that a large section on the driver's side and both top corners had missing paint. Even after taking it to the dealership, it's been a month, and I haven't received any response. I purchased the car brand new in January 2019.
-
I'm facing a similar issue with my white Ford Escape when it hit 49,000 miles, particularly around the windshield. It seems like a clear manufacturing flaw, and Ford Motor Company should step up and own it. The dealer submitted a claim to the corporate office, but they agreed to cover only half of the $928.68 bill, leaving me with $464.34 to pay out of my pocket. I've been reaching out to the Ford Customer Assistance for updates on a possible recall or class action lawsuit. I was provided with a case number and sent in my documentation, but I'm still waiting to hear back from them.
-
In 2017, the paint on the pillars beside my car's windshield is peeling off. I am 1100 miles beyond my warranty, and I was informed that there is no solution for it. If there's a class action lawsuit, I'd like to join. The repair is estimated to cost between $1200 to $1400, which I can't afford due to the Covid pandemic.
-
My white 2017 Ford Escape has recently developed peeling on the window pillars. It's frustrating because I haven't finished paying for it yet. I've maintained my vehicle well, but Ford seems indifferent like the others experiencing this issue. I won't consider buying from Ford in the future. They must address this problem and improve their customer service. If there's a lawsuit, count me in. Paint peeling on a 4-year-old car is unacceptable.
-
I'm experiencing a similar issue with my 2017 white Ford Escape, which has 30,000 miles on it. The paint on both windshield pillars is peeling, especially at the top corners on each side. I got an estimate of $1800 to have it fixed. I'm worried it might start peeling in other areas too. I believe Ford should cover the cost of fixing it, but they claim it's out of warranty.
-
I'm experiencing the identical issue with my Ford 2017 Escape. Initially, we observed paint peeling near the front window, and upon further inspection, we discovered more patches on the roof and side doors. Luckily, my vehicle is still covered by the extended warranty, and I'll find out tomorrow if they will fix it. With all the recalls in recent years and now this paint problem, I doubt I'll ever buy another Ford. This is clearly Ford's problem, and they should make it right for their customers. A class-action lawsuit might be necessary.
-
I have a 2017 Escape Titanium in White Pearl, and I recently discovered significant paint peeling on the driver's side A pillar next to the windshield. It's surprising that many others are experiencing the same problem, yet Ford hasn't addressed it as a known defect.
-
My 2017 Escape is experiencing paint chipping problems on either side of the front windshield. I've been attempting to contact my dealership, but all my calls go to voicemail without any follow-up. I am currently looking for an email address or someone at Ford to address this issue. If anyone has any alternate suggestions, please share them with me.
-
Our 2017 getaway vehicle is experiencing a sudden issue as well. I am extremely upset because we recently purchased the car from CarMax less than three months ago, and now there is a large portion of paint missing right beside the windshield on the driver's side.
-
Please add me to your records. I washed my 2017 white Ford Escape and discovered a significant paint mark on the window bar on the driver's side. Coincidentally, I was already planning to take the car to the body shop to address water leaks from both sides of the roof, which is another issue in Ford's workmanship. I only recently finished paying off the car, and repairs are estimated to be close to $4,000. The dealership is not being helpful in addressing the leaks or taking responsibility. I was under the impression that I had bumper-to-bumper coverage and a 100,000-mile warranty that is valid until 2023, but in reality, there is no bumper-to-bumper warranty. I believe it is necessary for consumer affairs and the Better Business Bureau to intervene. As an 80-year-old, I am now unexpectedly involved in fixing and replacing car parts and bodywork, depleting the money I need for daily living expenses. While Ford has already received their payment, they lack integrity and accountability. I appreciate the individual from Canada who successfully navigated through arbitration; I would likely not live long enough to participate in a class-action lawsuit, but I would support one if it were to arise. I wish everyone good health and safety.

Our 2017 Escape in Lightning Blue is showing signs of paint loss near the windshield on either side.
-
My windshield just got damaged too.
-
In 2017, our light blue Escape has just 23,000 miles. Unfortunately, the paint on the side trims and hood is peeling off. We brought it to Fullerton Ford dealership, who took photos, got an estimate from their body shop, and submitted a case to Ford corporation. We haven't heard back from Ford yet, but I'm prepared to support a class action lawsuit. It's disappointing that Ford isn't assisting their customers in this situation.
-
I went online to check if my 2017 Ford Escape, which is Lightening Blue, was the only one experiencing peeling paint around the windshield. I just noticed it recently in the Spring. I was surprised to find out that many others are also facing the same issue. This is clearly a manufacturing flaw and not caused by hail.
-
Customers often complain about issues with chipped paint and rust on the 2017 Ford Escape. The paint on the external doors can appear wrinkled, and there are also factory flaws such as paint flaking with white residue found between the metal and the paint.
-
My 2017 Ford Escape in lightning Blue color has started to peel around the windshield. Small pieces of paint were missing when I took it to the Ford dealership for maintenance, but now large chunks are falling off, exposing the metal. I bought this SUV brand new, and just two months after the warranty expired, this issue started. Despite seeking help from Ford, I have received no assistance. We are considering going to Maaco, but they are quoting around $2000 just to fix the top and around the windshield. If I receive compensation, I may have to consider getting my car repainted. I am contemplating joining a class action lawsuit to address this issue and have my car properly painted.
-
My 2017 Ford Escape in lightning blue is peeling, yet Ford Corporate refuses to acknowledge that they should address the issue since it stems from a factory defect.
-
I'm dealing with a paint peeling issue on the left side of my windshield. The dealer blames Ford, but Ford blames the dealer for it.
-
I have a shiny blue 2017 Ford Escape, and the paint is peeling on both edges of my windshield. The dealership isn't providing any assistance, even though I have an extended warranty that doesn't cover it. I'm struggling to find someone who can help me resolve this issue.
-
I have had a similar experience. My 2017 Lightning Blue vehicle also has rust on both sides of the windshield, with the driver's side being the most affected. Unfortunately, I haven't received any assistance with this issue. I was told to wait until it rusts through completely. I first noticed the rust around the 60000-mile mark, and it might have caught my attention sooner if it weren't for the winter snow. However, it seems like catching it earlier wouldn't have made a difference.
-
I've owned my 2017 Escape SE for a year now. Lately, I've spotted some peeling paint around the windshield and rust on the inside base of the driver's side door. I would hope that Ford steps up to fix these issues, but based on what I've read in reviews, I'm not too optimistic. The manufacturer ought to address these problems caused by shoddy workmanship and low-quality paint, not leave it to the customer to deal with!
-
I just spotted something strange near the windshield of my 2017 white Escape. There seems to be an issue with Ford's manufacturing process.
-
Has anyone had success with hiring a lawyer? I've driven about 48,000 miles and my car's paint is starting to peel. My insurance refused to cover it, claiming it's due to "wear and tear," which is clearly not the case. Now, I'm facing expenses of thousands of dollars because I'll have to replace my windshield! This situation is absolutely absurd. You disappoint me, Ford.
-
The paint on the top of my 2013 Ford Escape near the windshield is peeling off in large pieces, exposing the bare metal underneath. This issue really frustrates me.
-
The white premium paint on the driver's side A pillar of a 2017 Escape is peeling near the window with 36,000 miles on it.
-
Ah, it looks like we're all in the same situation here! I've owned my 2017 Ford Escape for a year now. Lately, I also noticed that the paint around my windshield is starting to peel. In my view, this isn't just a warranty matter; it's more of a recall issue. When I researched Ford paint problems, I came across a website from Canada where numerous people were experiencing the same problem. I consulted a trusted auto body and paint specialist, and he mentioned that the windshield needs to be taken out in order to properly address the issue.
-
The paint is starting to come off my 2018 Ford Escape by the windshield. I believe Ford should be accountable for this issue with the paint and materials they utilized. Do you know if a class action lawsuit has been initiated for this matter?
-
I drive a 2017 Blue Escape Titanium. Firstly, the paint on the hood started peeling off when I went through a car wash. Ford covered the repair for that issue. However, now I'm experiencing peeling around the windshield, and Ford is refusing to fix it. They acknowledged the problem before and fixed only half of it. I don't understand why they won't complete the job. I've had enough of this back-and-forth - I'm going to sign up for the class-action lawsuit. My name is included.
-
I'm dealing with the exact issue with my 2017 Blue Escape. The dealership refused to take any action, claiming it appeared to be "impact damage." It's incredibly frustrating.
-
I just spotted a similar issue on the driver's side of my windshield, on the left. Looks like a paint defect to me.
-
I noticed chipped paint on both sides of my 2017 lightning blue Escape Titanium. The dealer said it's a manufacturer defect and won't cover it. Now, I have to take it up with Ford, but it seems like it won't make a difference. If there's a class action lawsuit, count me in! I'll contact Ford and bring up all these problems, hoping for a positive outcome.
-
I just realized that the paint on my car has chipped today! There are no dents or scratches near it!
-
I had the same problem with my 2017 white Escape Titanium. The paint started bubbling and coming off on both sides of the windshield (A-pillars). The dealership where I purchased the car fixed the passenger side under the 36-month B2B warranty, but they wanted $3,800 to fix the driver's side after the warranty expired. Yes, you read that right - $3,800 just to paint one A-pillar. I declined their offer, and then they offered to cover $2,400 if I paid the first $1,400. Both offers seemed absurd to me, so I declined again. Clearly, the paint is defective from the factory. I'm curious if the class action lawsuit against them was dismissed or if it's still ongoing.
-
In 2017, my Titanium Blue car was damaged on the driver's side pillar. I took it to the McPhee Ford Dealership in Canada, and they offered to cover only 30% of the $2800 repair cost. I was really angry about it!
-
Bought a certified pre-owned white 2017 Ford Escape and got the best Ford warranty. A year later, noticed the paint cracking around the driver's windshield area, not even attached to the metal. Contacted Ford, the warranty, and the dealership, but none of them would take responsibility. Now stuck with four more years of payments on a car that looks terrible and has lost its value. Used to be a loyal Ford customer, had a 2013 Ford Escape for eight years with great paint condition. Also bought a Ford Focus. After this experience, I have lost faith in Ford and will not purchase from them again.
-
I own two 2018 Ford Escapes. Recently, I noticed the paint peeling near the windshield. I didn't realize this was a common problem until I researched online. It's really frustrating! With only 45,000 miles, I wouldn't expect to have this kind of issue.
-
I own a 2017 blue car that is experiencing the same issue, and my transmission failed last week right after the recall repair was done.
-
I'm experiencing the same issue too. The paint near my windshield on the driver's side A-pillar is starting to peel. Unfortunately, this problem started appearing just two months after the warranty expired. Ford, unsurprisingly, refused to take responsibility for it.
-
Hey Ed, My car has the same problems too! They thought the chipping was from a hailstorm, but it happened long before that. The dealership wouldn't help, so now we have to turn to Ford after waiting months for a reply.
-
In 2017, we purchased a brand-new Ford Escape that is now showing signs of paint peeling on both sides of the windshield, which is quite surprising to us. It's especially disappointing since the color is pearl white.
-
I drive a 2017 Ford Escape in Lightning Blue. A section of the paint, approximately 12 inches long, came off.
-
I recently purchased a well-maintained 2017 Ford Escape with low mileage, and now the lightning blue paint around the windshield is bubbling and peeling unexpectedly. The dealership informed me that Ford Motor Co refused to help cover the $4500 estimate from their body shop for the repairs. When I contacted Ford Motor Company Customer Service, I was disappointed with the lack of support I received. The representative, "Jasmine," had trouble focusing on our conversation due to a crying baby in the background. She simply read me the part of the report stating that the claim was denied and refused to provide any further assistance or names of individuals who could help. This situation is reminiscent of the Pinto debacle from years ago, where Ford seems more willing to fight legal battles than address their quality issues. It's truly disheartening and Ford should feel ashamed of their lack of accountability.
-
I have a 2017 Ford Focus SE in a cool light blue color. I bought it recently, but now I've spotted the paint peeling around the windshield. Ford suggested getting it fixed and keeping receipts, but I can't afford a new paint job right now since I just bought the car.
-
My 2017 Ford Escape in blue color has a paint issue where it's starting to peel off. A few months ago, my husband washed the car and a large chunk of paint came off near the driver's side by the windshield. Today, I realized that the paint is also peeling off on the opposite side.
-
My 2017 blue Escape is experiencing the same problem on both the driver's and passenger's sides.
-
In 2017, I bought a Pearl White Escape Titanium, but I started noticing chunks of paint flaking and peeling off around the windshield. I believe this issue is due to a defect in the painting process. When I brought this to the attention of the dealer and they took photos and samples to send to Ford, unfortunately, Ford denied responsibility. They argued that since the car was out of warranty and there was no sign of corrosion in the samples, it was not covered under the 5-year corrosion warranty.
-
I feel the same way! The paint around the edges of the windshield is peeling off on both sides. It's so annoying that Ford isn't taking any action on this issue.
-
I am facing a similar problem with my 2017 White Ford Escape, where the paint is peeling off near both sides of the windshield. I visited the dealership today only to find out that the car is no longer covered under warranty, and they refused to take any action. I am extremely let down by Ford.
-
Count me in too. I own a 2017 Ford Escape in Pearl White with 52,000 miles. The paint started peeling near the windshield on the driver's side and now it's spreading to the passenger side. Looks like I'll have to reach out to the dealership about it.
-
Here's a paraphrased and rephrased version: I own a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium with 47,000 kilometers on it, and I've noticed that the paint is peeling off on both sides of the windshield.
-
I own a 2017 Escape in a striking lightning blue color and recently discovered paint chipping near the windshield. I am interested in joining a group lawsuit regarding this issue.
-
2017 white Escape with paint chipping down to the metal near the windshield - Ford is so annoying!
-
I own a 2017 blue Escape as well. The paint around the windshield is wearing down to the metal in some areas, and there's a spot on the back hatch where the clear coating is peeling. After reading numerous complaints, it seems evident to me that there's a paint issue originating from the factory. I plan to reach out to the dealership this week to address this matter, although I'm not very optimistic based on the feedback I've seen.
-
I'm experiencing a similar problem with my 2018 pearl white Ford Escape. The paint has started to peel on the pillar near the driver's side windshield and is now spreading to the passenger side. Despite only having the vehicle for 2 1/2 years, it was just 4000 miles beyond the standard warranty. The dealer submitted photos to Ford, but my claim was rejected. I don't understand why the mileage would impact peeling paint, especially since the car is still within the 3-year period. I switched from Toyota to support American-made Ford, but now I regret that decision.
-
I'm bummed that the paint on my 2017 blue Ford Escape is starting to peel around the windshield.
-
I've got the stunning 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in lightning blue, with 32,000 miles on it. I'm the first owner and have kept it in great condition. There's a paint issue on the driver's and passenger's sides of the "original" windshield. The car has never been in any accidents. It looks like there may be a potential for a class action lawsuit or a recall from Ford. I'm hopeful that Ford will address this issue properly, as it seems like many of us are encountering the same problem around the same time. I'll be keeping an eye out for updates on this matter.

You can include me too. I own a 2017 Ford Escape with paint that is bubbling and peeling around the windshield.
-
In 2018, the blue Escape vehicle experienced an issue where the driver's side A-pillar near the windshield detached from the primer and started to chip off. Multiple professional body shops inspected the problem and noted that it is uncommon for factory paint to separate in such a way. It appears that many owners of blue and white Escapes are encountering similar problems, suggesting that a class action lawsuit might be warranted.
-
I own a shiny white 2017 titanium car with a pearlized finish. There is a problem on the passenger side near the windshield, just like before. The dealership is refusing to fix it, and they were disrespectful when I brought it up. I'm wondering if there's a lawsuit involving this issue.
-
I'm experiencing a similar problem with my white 2017 Escape. The key is kept in the garage most of the time and it has traveled 50,000 miles. I am noticing chipping, peeling, and bubbling on the windshield pillars on both the driver's and passenger's side. Despite reaching out to the dealer and Ford, I haven’t received any assistance with this issue.
-
In 2017, we purchased a brand new Lightening Blue Escape SE. Just two weeks after the three-year warranty expired, we took our SUV through a car wash as we regularly do. When we got home, we noticed that the paint had peeled down to the metal on both sides of the windshield. Despite having only 10,000 miles on it, our dealership refused to help as the issue occurred just after the warranty period. We were very disappointed with their response. In order to address the peeling paint, we have decided to order an OEM repair kit and fix it ourselves. We hope that the repairs will improve the situation. Although we are frustrated, we are not giving up on our vehicle as we are attached to it. We are also hopeful that there will be a recall in the future, and it is comforting to know that we are not alone in facing this problem.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in blue, and it's experiencing the same issue near the windshield in the valley. The dealership can't assist because the problem isn't covered by the extended warranty, and Ford hasn't responded yet, so I doubt they will. It seems like a defective paint issue that Ford should address.
-
Wow! I was getting my car washed just now, and a big piece of paint came off my Ford Escape 2017 in titanium blue color!
-
Here's a paraphrased and unique version of the text:
I drive a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in a beautiful blue color. Unfortunately, I've noticed that the paint is starting to peel around the windshield. Can you offer any assistance or advice? -
In 2017, my blue Ford Escape has the same issue. The dealer promised to send photos to Ford, so I'll mention other similar complaints and keep you updated on Ford's response. Hopefully, they'll address the problem.
-
I'm having the same issue with my escape. The Ford dealer informed me that my problem occurred after the 36-month warranty had expired. They provided me with a phone number to contact Ford customer service at 1-800-392-3673. Perhaps if more people voice their complaints, Ford will take action. They are set to give me a call tomorrow regarding my situation.
-
Recently, something new has occurred with my 2017 blue Ford Escape. The windshield all around the driver's side has started to have issues. To my disappointment, Ford has stated that they will not provide any assistance, leaving me to deal with it on my own. It is frustrating to experience this, especially when it is evident that this is a known defect by Ford. My husband and I have been loyal Ford customers for a long time, but this experience has led me to decide that this will be my final Ford purchase.
-
In 2017, my lightening blue Ford Escape has paint chipping near the windshield. When I brought it to Ford, they said it would cost $2700 to fix, as they need to remove the windshield, which may break and require a replacement. I've been a lifelong Ford owner and never experienced this problem before. It seems they used a different type of paint that year.
-
I'm dealing with the same problem with my 2017 Ford Escape in blue. The paint around my windshield is peeling and flaking off too. When I reached out to Ford Motor Company, they, like others, were hesitant to support their products. They informed me that I must address the issue through the dealership first, and if the dealership agrees with my complaint, then Ford Motor Company will handle it for me.
-
Similar problem here... I own a 2017 white Escape Titanium and the paint near the windshield on the driver's side is peeling off. My car has 58000 miles on it, and the dealership just informed me that Ford rejected my claim... I am currently dissatisfied with Ford as a customer.
-
I have noticed that the paint around my windshield is cracked and peeling off in vertical streaks on both sides.
-
Just like the comments before, the paint is peeling on the driver's side windshield of my white 2017 Ford Escape. This has never happened to any of my previous vehicles. Please add me to the lawsuit - this is really disappointing.
-
Lightning Blue. Recently noticed paint peeling on the driver's side A pillar and small spots at the top corners of the windshield. This only happened yesterday after I washed it. I purchased the car brand new in December 2017 and it has 57,000 km (43,000 mi) on it. I contacted Ford Canada for assistance, but they informed me that they couldn't help. Hopefully, we'll have better luck next time.
-
Absolutely, without a doubt, on both sides of the window where there is no friction.
-
Please enroll me in a class action lawsuit. I have a white 2017 Ford Escape, and the paint is peeling around the windshield trim. The Ford dealerships are refusing to address this issue with my vehicle's paint.
-
I'm experiencing the same problem with my 2017 Ford Escape on the driver's side pillar, even though it only has 46,000 miles on it. I'm planning to reach out to the nearest Ford dealership with a body shop to see if they can assist me.
-
This marks the fourth instance of paint peeling on the tailgate of our white 2017 Escape Se - it's absolutely unbelievable!
-
Count me in! Looking for a 2017 Ford Escape in blue. Both Ford and the dealer are not responding to my inquiries!
-
My 2017 Ford Escape, which is white in color, is experiencing paint flaking problems near the windshield on the driver's side. I've been driving Escapes since 2001 and never had any issues, so this situation is quite disappointing. I'm wondering if a class action lawsuit is being considered. Count me in if there is one.
-
In 2017, my white Ford started peeling all over, so I got rid of it. I'll never purchase another Ford again. I'm considering a Subaru instead.
-
In 2017, my Ford Escape in a light Champagne color is experiencing paint peeling and flaking around both sides of the windshield. Despite reaching out to Ford Canada, they declined to address the issue as my vehicle is no longer under warranty. I have been a loyal Ford customer with no previous problems, but this situation has made me reconsider my future purchases. I believe this paint issue is a result of a manufacturing defect, and Ford should own up to their poor craftsmanship. How can we get involved in a class action lawsuit? This lack of accountability from Ford is unacceptable given the high cost of their vehicles. The expected quality from FORD has definitely taken a nosedive. It's disheartening to see how long-time customers are being treated by the company.
-
I own a 2017 Pearl White Escape and I've seen that the paint is starting to peel near the windshield. If a class action lawsuit is initiated, please include me. Make sure to keep your receipt if you have it repaired as there might be a chance for reimbursement, though I'm not getting my hopes up.
-
Count me in for the lawsuit. My 2017 Ford Escape in lightning blue is experiencing peeling paint on both sides of the windshield. Originally leased by my mother in 2016, I purchased it when the lease ended in 2019. Despite having only 68,000 miles on it, the paint is already starting to chip after just 4 years.
-
Have you heard about a lawsuit being filed against Ford for the design issues on the 2017 Escape Lightning Blue Titanium? It's really terrible. I'm thinking about wrapping the A-Pillar in gloss black to improve the look for my daughter.
-
I'm stunned to see how many folks are experiencing the same problem as me! I own a 2017 Ford Escape in lightning blue, just like many others, and I am facing paint peeling issues on both sides of the windshield. This happened unexpectedly when I took my car through a car wash. Is there a way we can push for a paint recall to address this issue?
-
My 2017 Ford Escape is experiencing chipped and peeling paint near the windshield, and unfortunately, my warranty is no longer valid. This issue should not have occurred in the first instance, and Ford must address and rectify this matter.
-
Ford has been aware of the problem with paint peeling for quite some time, but has neglected to assist customers in any way. They included my complaint in their records. I find it somewhat reassuring that my report about the peeling paint on the windshield of my white 2017 Ford Escape has been acknowledged. I wonder how many more reports need to be submitted before Ford takes action on this issue.
-
It appears that this issue is not limited to the 2017 Ford Escape. I own a 2018 Ford Escape Titanium that I take great care of, and recently discovered peeling paint near the front window on both upper corners and sides. The dealership is asking for $1200 to fix it, with an additional $1100 if they damage my windshield during the process. I contacted Ford Canada, but they were unable to resolve the matter with the dealer. While everyone acknowledges that it is a factory paint problem, I am the one being asked to foot the bill for the repairs. Therefore, I want to caution potential buyers to be aware of this. I am now reconsidering my loyalty to Ford and will share my negative experience with others whenever possible. This is my second Escape, and I regret not keeping the first one. I hope many people read this and inspect the paint on their own Fords, as it is clearly a widespread issue originating from the factory.
-
In 2018, I purchased a white Ford Escape Titanium with 40,000 miles. The car has always been stored in a garage, but recently, I noticed the paint on the driver's side windshield starting to peel. Having owned 14 cars in my lifetime, I have never encountered this issue before.
-
My 2016 White Escape is experiencing a similar issue - the paint on the top of my windshield is peeling. I believe Ford is aware of the problem because when I bought the car used last year, they repeatedly offered a "paint chip warranty" for an additional cost, claiming it would cover chips from shopping carts. I turned down the warranty because I found it odd to have additional coverage for paint chips. This makes me think that Ford is already informed about this issue. I wonder why there hasn't been a class action lawsuit or a recall initiated for this problem?
-
Just discovered that my 2017 white Ford Escape has paint peeling and bubbles near the windshield. It looks awful! Despite having only 50,000 miles and being parked in a garage, this issue is terrible! I searched online to see if others had the same problem and found this forum. Can't believe it! I usually keep my cars for at least 7 years and never encountered a paint issue before. 😡😡
-
I also own a pearly white 2017 car that Ford fixed the paint on the driver's side windshield about a year ago. However, today I just noticed that the paint on the passenger side windshield is also peeling off. I purchased the car brand new and have always parked it in a carport. This experience has made me decide that I will never purchase another Ford vehicle again.
-
My 2017 Escape, in the lightning blue color, is experiencing paint peeling in large chunks on both sides near the windshield. I haven't reached out to the dealer yet. I cherish my Escape, but I am very let down by this issue!
-
I've got a 2017 Ford Escape in white. There's some paint bubbling on the driver's side near the windshield and also on the top corner of the passenger side.
-
I am experiencing a problem with flaking and chipping at the edges of my windshield frame.
-
I also own a 2017 white Ford Escape, and the paint around my windshield is peeling, which is incredibly irritating! Count me in for any class action lawsuit against this issue.
-
Car owners are unhappy about poor quality paintwork on their vehicles, as highlighted by complaints on social media and online forums.
-
I just looked into the guy mentioned in the previous post who used to work at Ford and had issues with their painting procedure. Seems like he could be a valuable resource for everyone involved in a class action lawsuit or taking legal action individually through small claims court. You can find more information about him at this link: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2675575341
-
I'm experiencing a similar problem with my blue 2017 Escape, where there's a significant area missing paint on the roof and both sides of the windshield. I've been loyal to Ford for many years, owning Expeditions, Edges, Mustangs, and Fusions, but this is the first time I've had paint problems with a Ford vehicle.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape, and I'm experiencing the same issue with paint chipping along the edge of the windshield. This is happening even though the car has only been driven 32,000 miles.
-
The 2018 Ford Escape is experiencing issues with paint peeling and falling off near the windshield. It appears that Ford Motor Company is not providing adequate support for this problem. This experience has led to a decision to avoid purchasing Ford vehicles in the future.
-
I purchased a 2017 Ford Escape from the daughter of the previous owner who has passed away. About a week after buying it, I noticed that the paint is peeling and bubbling around the windshield on the driver's side, with signs of starting to peel on the passenger side as well. As I am on a tight budget and unable to afford repairs, I think it's Ford's responsibility to address this issue, especially since there are numerous complaints about the same problem. I believe we should consider a class action lawsuit against Ford, but I'm uncertain of the exact steps to take. I hope someone here might have some suggestions.
-
2017 Ford Escape in white gold with 92,000 miles on it. Paint is chipping near the driver's side windshield. Ford must take responsibility for this issue.
-
We own a 2017 white Escape Titanium, and I recently discovered that the paint on the driver's side windshield A pillar is peeling off. We are the second owners of this vehicle, and since the warranties have expired, we don't have high expectations for assistance from the dealer or manufacturer. I am beginning to address this issue, but if there is a class action lawsuit, please include me in it.
-
I recently found out that our 2017 Ford Escape, a white titanium model, is experiencing peeling on both sides of the windshield. We reside in Canada. It is important for Ford to address this problem in order to uphold their reputation with the public. With the numerous reports we have come across, we are considering participating in a class action lawsuit.
-
I notice this is the place where all the complaints about paint end up. I guess I'll join the queue and take matters into my own hands by fixing it myself. There are several helpful tutorials on YouTube for patching up spray paint, and as long as you purchase the correct materials, you should be all set. I highly recommend a reliable company called Automotive Touchup (https://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/), which I've personally used multiple times. They custom mix the paint based on the codes from your car door and handle metallic flaked paint flawlessly. Just be sure to use the appropriate primers like automotive enamel primer. Best of luck to everyone tackling this project.
-
I got a white 2017 Escape that I'm not too thrilled about because the paint is starting to peel around the windshield. I purchased it from a Ford dealership in 2020, so this is just the beginning of my frustrations with this car.
-
Please sign me up to purchase the white 2018 Ford Escape with a suit as well. I've observed paint bubbling and flaking off near my windshield, but Ford has declined to address this issue.
-
I've had the same issue with my 2017 Lightning Blue Ford Escape. The paint is peeling around the windshield. I took it to the Ford dealership, and they acknowledged that they're aware it's a known issue, but they didn't offer any solutions or follow up as promised. I even took a picture of it last September to track the progression, and it's only gotten worse. It's extremely frustrating. Whenever I park near another Escape with the same problem, I try to warn the driver by showing them what to expect. Most of the time, they hadn't noticed it until I pointed it out, and they get understandably upset, not with me but with Ford. I urge them to share their experience. This whole situation has made me decide that I will never purchase another Ford vehicle again. As I and these dissatisfied customers spread the word, hopefully, Ford will lose the trust and loyalty of their once-satisfied customers. Remember the saying about Ford? "Fix Or Repair Daily" - Ford really disappoints!
-
Please enroll me in the group lawsuit because the paint around my windshield has started bubbling and peeling. It's outrageous that they don't provide coverage considering how much they charge for these cars.
-
Similar situation with my 2017 white Escape where the paint is chipping on both A pillars around the windshield. It might be time to consider taking legal action.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in white pearl that's got chipping on both sides of the windshield, just like many others. Please make sure to add me to the list for a class action lawsuit.
-
I have a 2017 Escape in the color White Gold, and I've experienced paint bubbling up near the upper corner of the windshield on the passenger side, which eventually spread to the driver's side over a few weeks. Now, after four months, about half of the paint on the drivers side near the windshield has chipped off, making it look quite unsightly. Adding to that, I've noticed that rust is starting to form on the inside at the bottom of all four doors.
-
The peeling paint on both the front and back windows of my 2017 Ford Escape is bothering me. Ford's headquarters hasn't taken any action on this issue, so count me in for the lawsuit!
-
I'm happy to help! The problem is the same with my 2017 white Escape - the paint around the windshield is bubbling and flaking off.
-
Oh my goodness, I recently encountered the same problem. I own a 2017 Ford Escape SE in electric blue, and the paint has begun peeling off in large strips on the driver's side of the windshield, spreading to the passenger side too. This is totally not okay! It's my first car that I purchased brand new and I'm still paying for it! This situation calls for legal action, especially because many others are facing the same issue. What steps can we take to initiate a lawsuit?
-
The paint on my 2017 Ford Escape is chipping on both sides of the windshield. Ford needs to address and resolve this issue.
-
In 2017, the paint around my windshield has started peeling off without any primer underneath it. The repair shop suggests that the issue might be due to a lack of proper sealant under the paint. Ford refuses to take responsibility, despite the fact that my vehicle is stored in a garage and not exposed to harsh weather. I am considering pursuing a class action lawsuit over this matter.
-
In 2018, I purchased a white Escape with 60,000 kilometers on it. The paint is peeling all around the frame, which seems to be a known manufacturing issue that Ford has neglected to fix for years. After this experience, I will not be buying another Ford, and neither will my family members. If they can't even get a simple paint job right, it makes me wonder what else could be wrong with their vehicles. On top of that, my car seat warmer almost caught fire, and the windshield wipers failed during a snowstorm. I've had enough and am trading in this unreliable vehicle. Goodbye, Ford!
-
My 2017 Ford recently began experiencing this issue. Since my warranty has expired, I assume I'll have to cover the cost myself. Has anyone managed to get Ford to cover expenses even after the warranty period?
-
I just found this issue on my white 2017 Escape with visible damage all around the windshield. Any advice on how to resolve this with Ford or pursue legal action? I am extremely frustrated about this situation!
-
In 2017, I purchased a Ford Escape in white with 36,000 miles on it. I kept it in the garage. Now, I'm experiencing a problem where large sections of paint near the windshield and driver's door have peeled off, exposing the metal underneath. It's embarrassing and frustrating! I'm surprised there hasn't been a class action lawsuit or a recall by Ford to fix this issue. This experience has made me lose trust in Ford, and I will not purchase another Ford vehicle in the future. I also intend to caution others about the poor customer service I received from Ford. 😡
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape and recently noticed the paint bubbling and peeling off. I decided to buy this car after having a bad experience with a faulty Focus. Frustrating!
-
I purchased a 2018 Ford with 21,000 miles on it brand new. The paint near the front window, measuring about 12 inches, is peeling off. Despite this issue, the Ford dealer at Valley Ford in Huron, Ohio, is refusing to repair it.
-
I have a 2017 White Escape with chipped paint around both windows too. I talked to the nearby dealer, but they didn't offer any assistance.
-
I recently purchased a pre-owned 2017 Wscape last Monday. When I opened the rear passenger door for the first time yesterday, I noticed that the paint was peeling off and there was a 12-inch line that had appeared. It's frustrating that I don't have any solutions for this situation. It's really unfortunate.
-
Just like everyone else here, I noticed a big piece of paint was missing from the driver's side pillar near the windshield when I returned from the carwash yesterday. I was expecting a repair estimate around $900, but the dealership is asking for $3000. I might just try to cover it up with some paint myself.
-
My 2017 Ford Escape is experiencing a paint issue with the white pearl color, similar to others. The company is refusing to provide financial assistance for the repair. I have contacted a lawyer to explore the possibility of a class action lawsuit.
-
I have a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in pearl white that is showing signs of paint peeling around the pillars near the windshield. Many of us have experienced this issue, which we first noticed during the summer. Is there a way for us to initiate a class action lawsuit regarding this matter?
-
The same issue has been observed with a 2018 Ford Escape in blue color, specifically on the driver's side near the windshield. This was noticed today.
-
We have a 2017 Escape that is experiencing fading paint around the windshield, moon top, and hatch. The dealership claimed it was our problem, not theirs. I would like to be included in the class action lawsuit.
-
I feel the same way! My 2017 white Escape also has paint peeling and bubbling near the windshield!
-
My 2017 white Ford Escape is experiencing a similar issue - the windshield area is peeling and bubbling. I've already paid $700 to address it when it first appeared on one side, and now it's happening on the other side. Despite this recurring problem, Ford is unwilling to rectify it. I'd be interested in joining a class action lawsuit to address this issue.
-
In 2017, the white paint on a Ford Escape is starting to peel around the windshield pillars.
-
I'm experiencing a similar problem with my 2017 BlueTitanium - the paint has chipped off completely along the edges of the windshield.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape that has peeling and cracked paint on the left side of the window pillar. Please add me to the list for the class action lawsuit.
-
I drive a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium and I've noticed that the paint is starting to chip near the driver's side front windshield. Ford Sheehy over in Springfield told me that the warranty for paint chipping expired back in May. The folks at the paint shop mentioned that the problem stems from air bubbles getting trapped during the painting process. Over time, this leads to chipping that exposes the metal underneath. They gave me an estimate of $1,800 to fix it. I believe this should be taken up as a potential class action lawsuit if Ford doesn't step up to address the issue, as it appears to be a flaw in the paint job rather than something the owner did. Interestingly, my daughter also owns a Ford Escape, and she's experiencing the same paint chipping problem.
-
I first saw the paint starting to peel off and reveal the bare metal on the driver's side windshield pillar about a month ago. I bought this 2017 Escape in pearl white brand new back in November 2017, and it only has a little over 10,000 miles on it. My car hasn't been exposed to any harsh weather conditions, as it's typically parked in covered areas. Ignoring this issue won't help with customer satisfaction and loyalty.
-
I observed that the paint had begun to chip away.
-
I saw that the paint had chipped.
-
I own a blue 2017 Escape, and the paint on the driver's side pillar next to the windshield is peeling. I would like to join any potential lawsuit against Ford regarding this issue.
-
I drive a 2018 Ford Escape in blue. I reached out to Ford about the peeling paint issue around my front windshield, but they said it's not covered under warranty after 36,000 miles. With my background in retail, specializing in the paint department for over a decade, I believe the problem lies in how the paint was first applied. Ford insists it's my responsibility to address. I'm interested in supporting any potential class action lawsuit. You can reach me at 405-370-0381.
-
The 2017 Ford Escape is showing signs of paint peeling and bubbling near the windshield, but I haven't reached out to Ford about it yet.
-
I'm shocked that Ford hasn't issued a recall for this issue! I have a 2017 Lightning Blue SE as well. I contacted Ford customer service and was told that there is no recall at the moment, but they may consider one if more people report the same problem. The representative advised me to keep the receipt if I choose to repaint my car, as they might reimburse me in the event of a recall. However, I highly doubt that will ever occur. I plan to send an email to Customer Care including a link to all the complaints about the paint chipping issue. Maybe then, we will see some action taken. I realize it's wishful thinking, but it's worth a try. 🫤
-
In 2017, I purchased a blue Ford Escape from a dealer in Warrenton, VA. Recently, large pieces of paint have chipped off the windshield on the driver's side. When I contacted the dealer, they mentioned that this issue wasn't covered by the warranty and asked me to bring the car in for a repair estimate. Despite owning a Ford, Chevy, and Toyota already, this experience has left me disenchanted with Ford, and I don't plan on purchasing another one in the future.
-
I have the exact same problem with my white 2017 Ford Escape. About a month ago, I noticed the paint starting to chip off around the front windshield. It really bothers me since this is the first brand-new car I've ever purchased.
-
Lovelife1, can you please provide a paraphrased version of the text you mentioned so that I can help you with it effectively?
-
The problem remains the same: A 2017 Ford Escape with only 7,000 miles on the clock, has experienced paint peeling off on the driver's side windshield pillar.
-
The same issue with paint coming off all around the car. Ford claims it's out of warranty and suggested I join a class action lawsuit. This problem is present around the windshield as well.
-
I'm experiencing the same problem in the same location. Have we heard any news from Ford about it?
-
2017 Ford Escape SE in lightning blue. The paint on both sides of the windshield A pillars has peeled off, revealing the primer. There are also chips on the rear hatchback top left. This issue started at 21,000 miles. Ford has refused to take responsibility, despite being certified pre-owned. I am disappointed and will not purchase another Ford. I believe Ford should own up to this problem. I want to be included in the class action lawsuit against them.
-
In 2017, a Lightning Blue Escape Titanium experienced peeling around the windshield once the warranty expired in 2019. Ford and the dealership provided partial coverage for the issue. Then in 2021, the top of the vehicle began peeling, leading the owner to pay another body shop to paint it. The body shop noted that the base primer did not seem to be water-based and suggested considering a new car if the peeling occurred again. A dealership body shop mentioned that Ford had received a contaminated batch of primer. Additionally, in 2020, the engine block had to be replaced due to a coolant leak.
-
My Ford Escape from 2018, with only 18,000 miles on it, is experiencing paint peeling issues around the windshield area.
-
I feel the same way. I'm ready to receive any updates. You can reach me at Nichols8@msn.com.
-
I'm experiencing the same issue with the lighting blue paint on my 2017 Ford Escape peeling off at 57,700 miles. I want to join a class action lawsuit regarding this matter.
-
I have experienced paint peeling on both sides of the windshield on my car. This has convinced me that I will not purchase another Ford vehicle in the future.
-
We've got some paint peeling on the left side beyond the windshield of a titanium blue 2017 Escape. The dealer claimed it's covered by warranty and mentioned he hasn't encountered such issues before. It's quite annoying.
-
In 2017, I bought a used Ford Escape in titanium white color, and like many others, I've encountered paint issues on the driver's side and top passenger side with bubbling and chipping down to the metal. A body shop estimated that it would cost $4,600 to repaint the affected areas, which could increase once the work begins. The dealer was unable to help, so I plan to reach out to Ford directly to address the issue, though I'm not too optimistic based on others' experiences.
-
In 2017, my white Ford Escape had peeling paint near the windshield, with the warranty just slightly expired in terms of age but only 50,000 kilometers driven. Ford refused to address the issue. I reached out to CAMVAP, an organization in Canada, and after pursuing arbitration, we successfully compelled Ford to resolve the problem entirely and even provided me with a rental car.
-
The paint is coming off the "A" pillars on both sides and the rear hatch on a 2017 Escape in lightning blue. Being certified pre-owned doesn't guarantee anything! Ford is shirking their responsibility. I'm finished with this company, no more Fords for me...
-
In 2017, there was a problem with white paint on the driver's side of the windshield. Upon further inspection following these remarks, another issue was found at the upper left corner of the windshield. I have been unable to reach Ford's customer service hotline. The cost to repair at a nearby body shop is estimated to be $858.
-
Same here, same here, same here - it's clearly not a coincidence, right? Come on!
-
I drive a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium in Platinum White, and like you, I'm dealing with paint peeling issues. My warranty covers up to 3 years or 36,000 miles, and my car currently has 20,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, the dealership where I purchased the car recently changed ownership, and the new owners are refusing to help with the paint repair. It's definitely frustrating!
-
I drive a 2017 Ford Escape in a vibrant lightning blue color with titanium features. Unfortunately, the paint is peeling off on both sides of the windshield.
-
I want to join a group lawsuit. I saw the paint starting to peel near the windshield on the left side of my 2017 Lightening Blue Escape. I plan to reach out to the dealership next Monday, but I already have a feeling of how they will respond. Ugh, frustrating!

I just stumbled upon this site and noticed that I also have peeling paint next to the driver side windshield. It seems to have exposed the gray metal underneath. It's a 2017 Ford Escape, and it appears that many others have had similar complaints before me. I won't ever purchase a Ford again! Is anyone considering a class action lawsuit for this issue? It appears that Ford isn't addressing the problem.

In 2017, my Ford Escape in Oxford White had the paint on the driver's side pillar unexpectedly peel off during a car wash. I regularly wash the car about twice a month at the same place. The dealership blames Ford for the issue, but Ford claims there have been no other reports of paint peeling on Escapes to their knowledge. The repair estimate is $2500. This isn't my first experience with issues in Ford vehicles; I have had problems with the transmission on two other new Fords. As a result, I have decided not to purchase any Ford vehicles in the future. I have already contacted the State Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau to address these concerns.
-
I'm in the same boat. I just realized it, and it's getting worse quickly. My 2017 White Ford Escape needs a recall from Ford!
-
I'm experiencing a similar issue with my 2017 Escape where the paint is peeling and flaking off around the sides and top of the windshield. I'm searching for a solution like everyone else.
-
Similar problem. My 2017 Ford Escape with 60,000 miles has paint peeling off on the front windshield driver side. This is a new issue for me, as I've never experienced this with any of the seven cars I've owned over the past 28 years!
-
In 2017, I, like many others, have noticed peeling on the driver side windshield frame of my blue Ford Escape. Despite having purchased the vehicle outright with additional coverage and having driven less than 20,000 miles, Ford refuses to repair it as there is no recall for this issue. It seems like seeking legal assistance may be the best course of action in this situation.
-
I drive a blue 2017 Ford Escape and I'm experiencing the same issue with the paint peeling around the windshield on the driver's side.
-
We have the same issue like you. Lightning blue strikes our area too.
-
The paint is chipping off near the windshield and on the roof of my 2017 Ford Escape. Ford should take more responsibility and address this issue promptly.
-
My 2017 getaway has paint chipping near the windshield. The dealer suggested it might be from rocks or debris hitting the car, and cheerfully informed me that the warranty had expired. The cost to fix it is expected to be more than $3000.
-
In Southern California, my 2017 Ford Escape is experiencing paint peeling around the windshield, which is a recurring problem. I'm eager to participate in any potential class-action lawsuit arising from this issue.
-
My white 2017 Ford Escape is not making me happy due to the paint peeling around the windshield. I've had the car for less than two years and it currently has 90,299 miles on it.
-
the issue I've been experiencing, like many others, seems to stem from the a-pillars of the vehicle. The problem started appearing at the top of the car near the edges, leading to concerns about liability. This issue arose for me shortly after the initial 3-year/36,000-mile warranty expired, and unfortunately, Ford has stated that the corrosion warranty does not apply. To address this, I returned to the dealership where I bought the car and after some persistence, I was informed that there is actually an extended corrosion warranty included in the original purchase price. I am now exploring options to push for coverage as the cost to properly repair it is estimated at $2,400. Despite diligently maintaining my vehicle, this experience has soured me on purchasing Ford products in the future.
-
My 2017 Escape is experiencing a similar issue where the paint is vanishing around the windshield, and the entire vehicle is showing clear coat cracks.
-
I also have a problem with my white 2017 Escape on the sides of my windshield!
-
In 2017, a blue Ford Escape with 48,000 miles on it is experiencing paint peeling issues on the sills near the front windshield that appear to be a defect. This problem was only noticed last week.
-
In 2017, a light blue Escape caught my eye... As I was checking it out, I saw a significant section of missing paint on the driver's side near the front windshield, about a foot long. There's also a small spot on the passenger side where the paint is starting to peel. The car has 48,000 miles on it and has been waxed twice a year. From my experience, I would say this is definitely some sort of manufacturing flaw. The car was built in Louisville, Kentucky.
-
My daughter's 2018 Lightning Blue Ford Escape has significant paint peeling around the windshield pillars. The dealership refused to cover the issue and advised us to "file a claim with Ford." We are currently attempting to reach out to Ford about this matter.
-
I own a 2020 black Ford Ranger that's experiencing widespread chipping despite only having 11,000 miles on it.
-
I had the same problem with the pillars on both sides of the windshield. I was just under 500 miles past the warranty, but neither the dealer nor Ford would admit their mistake with the paint/primer. I had to pay $300 to get both pillars and a small part above the windshield repainted.
-
In 2018, my daughters' white Ford Escape has encountered similar problems. There is a small spot near the windshield on the driver's side, as well as on the passenger side in the rear door frame. Despite being purchased brand new, the car has already clocked 20,000 miles and is proving to be quite disappointing.
-
In 2017, my Escape SE is experiencing a problem with peeling on the driver's side windshield. I'm afraid to get an estimate for repairs because I just finished paying it off.

I will never buy another Ford vehicle after experiencing the same problem again.

Me too...The white 2017 paint on the driver's side windshield easily rubbed off, leaving a one-foot long strip.
-
If there is a lawyer who is willing to take on this class action lawsuit, I would like to be included as a participant.
-
White paint on the driver's side windshield pillar. The Ford dealership in Lynchburg, Virginia insisted that they wouldn't take any action. With 34,000 miles on it, the car likely requires a full repaint. A savvy attorney could potentially earn a significant sum from this defective 2017 Ford.
-
I'm dealing with a similar issue on my 2017 Ford Escape. I'm in Canada and have the 84-month extended Tricare warranty, so I'm going to check if they'll uphold it. There's also some rust forming at the base of my driver's door, but I have a rust prevention device installed. I contacted them and they claimed it's beyond warranty. However, my original purchase documents and the extended warranty don't specify any shorter coverage for this issue. They need to address this for me.
-
The paint is peeling on both sides of my 2017 Escape near the windshield. Please inform me if a lawsuit is possible. I'm interested in exploring this further.
-
In 2017, the paint around the windshield of a Ford Escape bubbled up and then peeled off.

The 2017 Ford Escape in lightning blue has the exact same problem on both sides of the windshield. Numerous people are experiencing this issue, and it is absolutely unacceptable!
-
The 2017 Ford Escape in lightning blue has the same problem on both sides of the windshield. Many others also seem to be facing this issue. It's incredibly frustrating and unfair!
-
This situation is totally unacceptable from Ford. They need to immediately issue a recall for their poorly made vehicles. Specifically, the 2017 Escape Titanium with pearl white paint is experiencing a significant issue on the driver side windshield pillar, down to the metal. Are they unable to address this problem? Having to repaint so many vehicles due to subpar quality is outrageous. As a customer who owns a 2016 F150 and a 2017 Escape, these will be the last Ford vehicles we purchase. We will be contacting our lawyers about this matter on March 17, 2022.
-
I've got a 2017 Ford Escape in blue, and the paint is starting to peel near the windshield. I got the whole car coated back in November 2021 when I bought it. But now, I'm noticing this paint issue. I'm planning to head to the dealership tomorrow to have it checked out. Has anyone had any success with the Class Action lawsuit related to this?
-
I just spotted this issue occurring near the front window of my 2017 Ford Escape. I've driven it for under 40,000 miles.
-
2017 Escape owners with a blue car are experiencing peeling on both sides of the windshield, with metal now exposed. Despite the warranty being expired, Ford refuses to take responsibility. This shocking lack of accountability has led me to swear off the dealer who sold it to us, and vow to never purchase another Ford vehicle again. It's clear that there is a flaw in the manufacturing of this vehicle, and Ford should be held accountable for it. It's unfortunate that our car isn't even fully paid for yet. Shame on Ford for this situation.
-
Over the course of several years, the paint around the windshield of my 2018 white Escape SEL is starting to peel away on both the driver's and passenger's sides.
-
I’m experiencing the same issue with paint chipping around my windshield. I was informed that if the metal was rusted through, Ford would cover the repairs. Since it's not, I'll have to pay for the fix myself. The auto body shop I visited mentioned that I was the second Ford owner in two weeks facing this problem. I can't afford the repair at the moment, so the problem will only escalate. This experience has made me reconsider buying another Ford in the future. Additionally, despite having an extended warranty, I was told it does not cover paint issues.
-
Similar issue with the paint! Interested in participating in a collective lawsuit against Ford for the paint problem affecting numerous Ford Escape owners.
-
I am experiencing the same problem with my 2017 white Ford Escape. The paint is peeling on the driver's side pillar near the windshield. It's insane how many complaints there are about this issue.
-
I encountered a similar issue with my 2017 platinum white Escape. I have been a loyal Ford customer for nearly 30 years, starting back in 1972. However, this experience has made me reconsider buying a Ford in the future.
-
I'm encountering a similar issue. I paid to repaint the driver's side but a year later, the same side is peeling again. The dealer's warranty only covers paint jobs for a year, and now the passenger's side is starting to come off too, but the warranty has expired. This experience has made me decide never to purchase a Ford vehicle again. My '97 Ford Ranger with 310,000 miles has had no paint issues, so it must be a defect in the newer vehicle.
-
"Yes, my 2017 car has paint peeling on the driver's side pillars quite severely. I have just noticed it today as I was getting into the car. It has about 60,000 miles on it.
-

-
Experiencing a similar problem with my 2017 Escape - the paint is white and peeling near the driver's side windshield.
-
According to Stephen Gaiski, a chemical engineer working at Zestar Corporation in Detroit who had previously worked with an auto manufacturer, Ford was not meeting the required specifications in painting the Escapes at its Kansas City plant. Gaiski had informed the painting room manager and the paint supplier about his concerns regarding the paint thickness being below standards, but despite bringing it to the company's attention and even discussing it with the board, the issue remains unresolved after several years. Gaiski now assists car owners in taking legal action against Ford and its dealerships in small claims court, as he believes larger actions like a class action lawsuit may not yield results unless there is a serious design or safety concern involved.
-
Is there any auto parts company that sells a cover to hide the chipped paint on the windshield pillars?
-
The 2017 Ford Escape with only 17,000 miles has peeling paint on the pillars. Despite having a bumper-to-bumper warranty of 60,000 miles, Ford refuses to cover the issue. It's clear that Ford is deceiving customers! If numerous owners are experiencing the same problem, it indicates a manufacturing flaw.
-
My 2018 Ford Escape has the paint chipping off on both sides of the windshield. I've been struggling to get any assistance from my dealership. I've received quotes from two nearby auto body shops, with prices ranging from $3000 to $4000.
-
The same problem happened to me with my 2017 Ford Escape, which I have owned since it was new. The paint started peeling at 41,000 miles, despite my meticulous care in maintaining my car. This issue seems to be widespread among Ford Escape owners, especially those with models from 2017 to 2019. It is completely unacceptable. It would cost around $2000 for Ford to properly address this problem, and repainting the car could lower its resale value. I was also warned by others in a forum that my front windshield might get damaged during the repair. Ford corporate provided no assistance and dismissed my concerns. I am now looking for a Class Action lawsuit to join.
-
My 2017 blue Escape is experiencing a similar issue near the windshield.
-
I'm experiencing the same problem with my 2017 platinum white Escape. Just spotted a significant portion of the driver's side pillar missing today. It looks like this is a frequent issue.

-
Experiencing the same problem as others mentioned earlier. Paint peeling off near the driver's side windshield. So frustrating.
-
I experienced an incident where there is peeling light blue paint near the driver's side of my windshield on my 2018 Ford Escape. It's frustrating that the paint is already coming off on a relatively new vehicle. It's disappointing that Ford is unwilling to provide assistance in this matter.
-
In 2017, a pearl white vehicle has visible paint damage on the driver's side front pillar near the windshield. This issue warrants a recall from Ford. It needs to be addressed promptly and taken seriously.
-
We are experiencing the same problem with our 2017 white Ford Escape - the paint is peeling off on the driver's side next to the windshield.
-
2017 Escape - Still dealing with the same problem!
-
I'm dealing with the same issue — in 2017, the light blue paint around my windshield started peeling on my Ford. The company won't take responsibility, and neither will the dealership. It seems like everyone is just making excuses, as if it's too much to ask for the paint to hold up for more than four years.
-
Discovered a substantial piece of paint peeling off the driver's side windshield gutter on my 2017 Escape today. Swiftly brought it to the Ford dealership, and they are now reaching out to Ford regarding the issue.
-
My daughter recently purchased a white 2017 Ford Escape in September 2021, and she has noticed something going on around her windshield. After doing some research online, I came across an online forum discussing the same issue. I plan to contact the dealership tomorrow to inform them about this situation.
-
I have a 2017 Blue Ford Escape with a titanium finish facing the same issue. The paint around the windshield has started flaking, and Ford has been unhelpful, refusing to cover it under warranty. I suspect that the windshield wipers might be causing the problem by traveling too far. If there's a class action lawsuit, please include me in it.
-
I own a 2017 Escape as well, and the paint is starting to peel near the windshield. Using social media can be really effective. We should snap photos of our cars to highlight the issue and share it online. That might grab their focus.
-
I drive a 2017 Lightning Blue Escape, and I recently spotted the same paint problems near my windshield that many others are experiencing. Out of the blue, my paint began bubbling up and flaking off about a month ago. Count me in for that class action lawsuit too.

-
Me too, my 2017 Ford Escape Titanium AWD has low mileage, but the driver side column veneer has completely peeled off. This is my first brand-new car, so it's disappointing. I only have 5 payments left, and now this happens! It's really disheartening that Ford won't address the issue.
-
I own a 2017 Ford Escape that's blue. I was washing the car yesterday and noticed the paint around the passenger side windshield started peeling off. It was shocking to see the paint just coming off the car like it was dirt. I've read similar complaints from others and I'm feeling pretty discouraged. If there's a class action lawsuit, I'm definitely interested in joining. I spent a lot on this car, and with only forty thousand miles on it, having the paint come off is really disappointing. What should I do next?
-
You can include another item on this extensive list. My spouse recently purchased a pre-owned 2017 lightning blue Escape Titanium, and we discovered paint chipping today on the right side near the windshield.
-
I had the same problem with my 2017 electric blue Ford, and Ford has been unhelpful in resolving it. A friend who works at a Ford collision center mentioned that this issue is widespread and affecting other Ford models too. It looks like we may need to take this matter further and file a class action lawsuit. I would like to stay informed if anyone is taking action on this, and I am ready to offer my support towards this cause.
-
I can relate. In 2017, I had a Cobalt Blue Escape. The paint vanished unexpectedly after only the second wash.
-
Here's a paraphrased and rephrased version of the text:

I have a 2017 Escape Titanium, and there's paint bubbling and flaking around the windshield. When I press on it, it feels like there's a bubble, and I can see that it's going to get worse.

-
In 2017, my Lightning Blue car started showing annoying paint peeling near the windshield - a pretty dumb issue for a vehicle under 5 years old. I shelled out $1500 to have it fixed at the dealership, hoping to get reimbursed later on.

-
I splurged on getting my wife a 2017 Ford Escape titanium in pearl white as her first car. After driving it for 35k miles, we noticed the paint peeling off near the windshield on the driver's side while washing it a few months ago.

I contacted the Ford dealer, but they won't cover it. Now, I've turned to my insurance company and I'm waiting to see if they will cover it. The body shop advised that it needs a complete paint job, but they feel the manufacturer's defect may not be covered by Allstate.

-
We own two 2017 Escapes - one in lightning blue and the other in pearl white. Last summer, the blue one started peeling, so I paid for the repair out of my own pocket since Ford denied any responsibility. Interestingly, I just noticed today that my partner's white Escape is also beginning to peel.
-
I'm experiencing a similar issue with my 2017 white Ford Escape. I got into a disagreement with my dealer, and they resolved it, but I had to cover a third of the cost, which ended up being over $300. Now, I've discovered that when I opened the back passenger side door, the paint is peeling off. Why doesn't Ford acknowledge that there is a major problem? I'm extremely frustrated with Ford. I can confidently say this will be my final experience with them.
-
My white 2017 Escape started to have paint peeling off near the windshield pillar in early spring 2021, despite only having 27000 miles on it. The dealer submitted a claim to Ford, which was rejected. I spent months and numerous phone calls seeking help from Ford without any success. In the end, I was unpleasantly informed that I should have bought an extended warranty and suggested to hire a lawyer. Ford refused to help resolve the problem in any way.

Brand new 2017 Ford Escape, always stored in the garage, showing signs of paint chipping on the driver's side windshield now.
-
My blue 2017 Ford Escape has a big paint chip near the passenger side of the front window and the paint is bubbling near the driver's side. Ford must address this issue immediately!
-
The white 2017 vehicle I own is also experiencing peeling paint. The issue was first spotted on the upper right corner of the windshield on the passenger side.
-
The problem is that the paint around the windshield is starting to peel off.
-
A gold 2017 Ford Escape SE has a paint issue on the driver's side front pillar near the windshield. Since the car is no longer under warranty, I will be seeking a body shop to fix it. This has left me feeling quite let down.

Likewise - My 2017 Escape (in Canada) has paint chipping off from the driver's side pillar by the windshield. I've been advised that pursuing a class action lawsuit might be the only solution as the warranty department seems unresponsive.

Here's a rephrased and unique version:
Agreed. I spotted the chipped paint near the front windshield and also on the inner part of the doors. Thankfully, it hasn't been too bad so far. I'm keeping a close eye on it to see how it develops. Despite that, I've been delighted with my Escape otherwise. -
I own a shiny platinum white 2015 Ford Escape with only 3,500 miles on it, and the paint on the driver's side peeled off while going through a car wash. I'm in shock about it!
-
I just spotted the white paint starting to peel near my windshield on my 2018 Ford Escape.
-
I own a 2017 Lightning Blue Escape and I'm experiencing the same paint issue on the driver's side pillar near the windshield. I might need to take legal action for this!
-
I just realized that my 2017 Ford Escape has the same problem - there's chipping and discoloration along the windshield on the passenger side. Since my paint warranty has expired, I'm not sure how to address this issue.
-
Certainly! there are cracks on two sides of the pillars of my 2017 Ford Titanium Escape with premium white paint.

Recently, I discovered my 2017 white Escape with 22,000 miles has peeling paint on the driver's side near the windshield. After taking it to a body shop, I learned that the left side is also beginning to have the same issue. I reached out to Ford, and the body shop sent photos to the person handling my case. However, I was later informed that it wasn't covered by warranty, much to my disappointment. Now, I'm facing a repair bill of $1758, which has left me feeling frustrated.

In 2017, I purchased a white Ford Escape with a pearlescent finish. When I reached 37,000 miles, there was a noticeable issue with the windshield, but the dealership refused to address it. The problem has now spread to affect both sides of the windshield. The dealership claimed they hadn't encountered a similar case before. I felt frustrated as I was still making payments on a $30,000 car that was clearly faulty. Additionally, there have been issues with the engines and transmissions of this model, as I've had to replace both already. It's disheartening to experience such troubles with a vehicle.

I'm experiencing the same problem with my Ford 2017 Titanium in white pearl, or whatever color it is. This situation seems like it could be grounds for a class action lawsuit given the number of similar complaints.
-
The paint on the pillars on my white 2017 Escape began to peel off at 48,000 miles. Unfortunately, this issue was not covered by the 36,000-mile warranty. I had to pay the dealer $460 to fix it using the original paint.
