The Ford Escape comes with a variety of standard warning lights and indicators on its information panel. If you see the "lock" light illuminated next to the hazard button, it means that the vehicle's doors and trunk are locked. The Escape automatically locks itself when it is turned on, engaged, and shifted into park. To turn off the light or disable the automatic locks while driving, simply press the driver's door lock button on the door frame. The lock light is a safety feature that ensures the vehicle remains secure while in motion, preventing unauthorized entry or exit. Unlocking the Escape while it is moving could potentially endanger passengers in case of an emergency or accident.

    My 2012 Ford Escape is not starting, and it's not the battery or the alternator. What else could be the issue?
