I had this happen too, last week. I've had my escape for 3 months and this happened. Cut my finger on it!!!! Now I have painter's tape covering the button.
Same here. I took a file and ground it down. Everything about this car is cheap...except the price!I read about this on the Ford Escape facebook group and those that had chipping had them replaced under the 3 year bumper to bumper warranty.
Has anyone besides myself had an issue with the chrome plating on the window control buttons flaking/chipping off? I rarely use my windows since I bought it in Aug 2020 and last week I was going through a drive-thru at my bank and rolled down my window. When I touched the button to roll down the drivers side I felt something sharp and uneven on the button. As I investigated it more the chrome plating pin the buttons has chipped away from the button. In fact every button for all the windows is chipping off. I don't ever use those, surely this is a manufacturer defect. Is there a service bulletin issued for this? I can't find anything anywhere related to this problem. Please advise! View attachment 78458

Yes, I had the same problem, the chrome is peeling off the drivers door master switch, on my 2020 Ford escape SEL it has 1600 miles on it.
the dealer replaced the switch free of charge
under the three-year 36,000 mile warranty

From the time I brought my 2020 escape to the dealer to have the window switches replaced it took them an hour and a half before I left the facilityYes I’m glad I’m not the only one. I bought mine brand new last April and noticed this about a month ago. I have an appointment next week to bring it in to ask why it’s happening. Those who have had it fixed how long did it take? Glad to see it’s been covered under warranty.
Did they have the part to fix it right away or did you have to go back once they ordered it? I have a toddler that will be in tow as they only have M-F day time appointments available trying to plan ahead if I canFrom the time I brought my 2020 escape to the dealer to have the window switches replaced it took them an hour and a half before I left the facility
I drove it into their quick lane made them look at it they ordered the part and I came back the next dayDid they have the part to fix it right away or did you have to go back once they ordered it?

You should contact FORD with your concern maybe they’ll adopt your way of thinkingI would have to look at the rest, but the one I drove yesterday was missing the chrome on both front window switches, and I'm willing to bet they're all flaked in at least one spot. All of our Ford switches with the chrome flake or rub off, but I have some silver painted tips on a couple of non-escapes and they're fine. I'd be happier with basic black plastic rather than trying to dress it up and have it come apart.
I am having the same problem. Cut my fingers five times. I am taking it to the dealer next week. This is crazy!Mine was built Oct 2019. It happened to the front driver side and front passenger side switches. When it happens again I’m scraping all the chrome off and covering the exposed plastic with black paint.
