CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Ford Escape looks pretty good compared to other Ford Escape model years, but still has a trend of transmission problems, so it's not a model year we can recommend.

Also the base model Escape did not come with side airbags so it received a "Poor" rating from the IIHS for side impact protection. Other similar 2007 models like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V & Hyundai Santa Fe scored far better.

When I was test driving this vehicle I saw that the door ajar light was on, but unfortunately I didn't think much of it. Couple of weeks had passed and while driving down the road the stupid door chime is going off and the light flashes. Little did I know that it affects the dome lights in the vehicle, they started to freak out and I just leave the dome light off. Another annoying this is that the door locks keep looking while I'm going down the road. This is a common problem with these vehicles and Ford in common.

After the last random car alarm, started car in parking lot and noticed the door open alert was on. We shut all the doors, the glass rear window, the back gate and the hood and it would still not turn off. I am taking it to the vendor today for the alarm issues and will have them look at this as well, but from what I can see online, they are all known and related issues.

The alarm was annoying; the false door ajar warning is a safety hazard. If people begin to ignore the warning because they believe it is false (crying wolf), then they won't pay attention to it when it is really trying to alert them to a real problem and that could cause injury, death or property damage.

Update from Mar 11, 2015: Dealer says it was the right rear passenger door latch. They've replaced it as a warranty repair. I only just got the vehicle back. I'm hoping this is the solution!
