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!

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.

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.

Same here. I took a file and ground it down. Everything about this car is cheap...except the price!

True. The thing that's really pissing me off is AC/Heater. The unit is possessed. It just does whatever it wants. Needs an exorcism!!!
