A/C PUMP CYCLES ON AND OFF BUT NO A/C IN SUMMER. IN WINTER -THE DEFROSTER CUTS OUT WHICH I BELIEVE IS A OVERHEATING RESISTER THUS NOT CYCLING THE A/C. ALSO SWITCH IS INOP FOR FAN ON POSITIONS 1 AND 2. I BELIEVE THE SYSTEM " MALFUNCTION" IS A FIRE/ SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN BECAUSE OF ALL WEATHER HAZARDS SUCH AS FOG, EXCESSIVE SUMMER TEMPS, AND FREEZING TEMPS WITH CONDENSATION.

2011 Ford Escape AWD- passenger side brake issue- after driving and brake/rotor getting hot making the rim even feel hot. My car vibrates when driving down the street because of this problem. It also has very poor stopping and after stop vehicle doesn’t like to move until I hit the gas pedal. I have very poor gas mileage because something is hanging up ( passenger side only ) THIS IS DANGEROUS and no one wants to do a recall- I’ve been having problems since 2020 we have replaced caliper/rotor/brake pads and the rubber brake hose fixes the problem for about 3-4 months then comes back getting where I don’t feel safe in my own vehicle and FORD doesn’t want to do NOTHING about it. Guess when someone gets hurt/death they will have a law suit on their hands because they know about the problem with the brakes
