The door panel falls off the door very easily and then becomes stuck. The door cannot open due to the panel catching on the floor of the car. This is dangerous to have a door that does not work. I brought my car to Ford to get this fixed and after having my car for 6 days, the next time I drove on the freeway it fell off again and has the same problem. I've seen multiple reports of this

After heavy rain, my headliner has water that seeps up from the plastic molding in the a-pillar up toward the driver side visor. The panoramic roof drain was cleared by the technicians. I told them that I had read about roof rack issues with the escape was told it was fixed. It still is leaking after rain. It happens in the rain whether the car is stationary or in motion. I have been told that this is not a covered item; however, there is no "wear and tear" as I have never used the roof rack and have owned the car for less than 3 years. This has come up as a technical service bulletin so ford is aware of the issue. This should be a recall/safety issue since there is a service bulletin regarding it already.
