Ref: knocking in driver door I too have a 2005 Escape XLT. 1 Month after I bought It, it started knocking every time I stopped, turned, and started moving. The dealership has worked on it now for 1 year. They just don't know what it is. I am waiting to hear back from the corporation on their decision. I want my money back.
It seems to knock when the vehicle sits all day in the heat. The first stop sign it knocks and then I might go a few days without hearing it. About 3 months ago, it was doing it every stop and go and the dealership heard it. They have heard it every time I have taken it to them until recently. Go figure. They know where this is leading. They took my stabelizing bar out of the door and the noise went away. Of course the bar has been replaced and the noise come back about a month later but not as bad. Bottom line is that it has not been fixed and I am sick of it.
UPDATE!!!!!10/12/2006 THE DEALERSHIP BOUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK AND I GOT A 2007 ESCAPE XLT AND 3 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED IT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO KNOCK WHEN STOPPING AND TAKING OFF...THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO CALL ME. I WILL TAKE THIS UP WITH MY LAWYER AND I KNOW LONGER HAVE THAT FORD. I GOT OUT OF IT AND HAVE A 2007 HONDA ACCORD LX AND THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY. I WILL GO HONDA FOR NOW ON. GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU FORD FANS!!! I HOPE YOUR PROBLEMS WILL GET FIXED.
