Replying to: dianita (Dec 05, 2008 4:06 pm) Finally 4 months later and lots of calls I got a call today from the service manager at our dealership where I bought my escape. Ford has finally said that the problem is something they are taking blame for. The fire retardent used on the fabric is causing the staining. I am happy to say that tomorrow I have an appt at the dealer to have new material ordered for new seat covers and they are going to give me a loaner car once the new materials come in since the car will be tied up for 3 to 4 business days. the posting was released by ford On 11/6/09 .Good Luck : :

It's good to know that some of the Ford Dealerships out there possess integrity sufficient to solve major issues for their customers. Unfortunately that is not the case here in the Lewisville area. Even writing a letter to the Service Manager at the local dealership that has always serviced our Ford vehicles, I have not received a response by phone or letter. The same goes with the head kahuna at Ford who received a certified letter. Nothing. So good for you "dianita", at least it seems Ford will come through for you. |

Hey everyone like me that has the crappy Ford Escape Interior, I bought the foam cleaner by Turtle Wax that has Oxy Clean in it, got it at Walmart. I loaded the seats up with the foam and scrubbed them with the brush that is on the can. After I had them good a clean with the foam, I took a clean wet rag and hot water in a bucket and wiped them down really good and got them really wet. Don't plan on driving for a while, unless you want wet pants. The next day put the car out in the sun so the seats would dry. Once they were dry I sprayed the living sh%t out of them with scotchgard and let that dry too. That was about 2 weeks ago, and they really look pretty good. The smell from the scotchgard was pretty strong, for about 2 days I drove around with the heat on high and the windows down a little, but now it just has a nice clean smell, and the seats look new. Hopefully they will stay looking this way. I was scared to wet them like that, but I thought, "Hey, they can't look much worse than they already do" |

Replying to: pearl09escape (Nov 11, 2009 3:37 pm) Did they say what the purpose of making the seats fire retardant was?? I swear with everything that they are making flame and fire retardant, (mattresses, furniture, carpet, pajamas and now car seats), that is probably why everyone in this country is dying of cancer!! Why can't they just leave well enough alone?? If someone is dumb enough to smoke in their car, then they deserve to have burn holes in the seats, or is that just in case the whole car is on fire, the seats won't burn, but we will?? How stupid.... I am glad that they are at least going to help you with your interior, I guess you got a good dealer. |

Just called my dealership - a memo went out on Nov 6 - they're replacing our stained, water-marked seat covers!

Replying to: eamcconnell (Nov 19, 2009 12:54 pm) So, I'm skeptical that Ford has even done this. If you have a copy of the memo please fax it to 866-465-0388. I would love to show it to my local dealership.
