I just bought a 2017 Ford Escape last Saturday, March 6th, 2021. When I first looked at the car I didn`t notice any paint missing from the car. I told the car salesman that I would take it. After I gave them the check, they walked me out the door, behind the car to put the temp tag on, then got the key & left the dealership. I took a picture when I got home to send to my children. I notices tape around the window. Looking closer, I discovered it wasn`t tape. It was paint missing, on the drivers side, window. Still trying to get Ford to fix it. It only has 20, 210 miles. Sounds like this should be a manufacturing defect recall. The salesman said that he never seen the paint missing either. Bonnie Hite
