Manufacturing defects in FORD Titanium Plus 2017 Model

I have five different issues (posted on quora as well) with this Vehicle as mentioned below and need to know opinion from other car owners and especially Ecosport owners:

1. Right Side Bumper Tail Light is Dummy

Right side bumper tail-light is completely Red as compared to the left side bumper tail light that is a mix of Red & White just like any other normal car. Also during reverse gear, only left side bumper light sparks and right side bumper light look like a dummy one — big anomaly, hope you all agree.

Dealership confirmed that all the Ecosport Tit+ cars that arrive in 2017 has this design, they do agree it is a bad design or might be a manufacturing defects. They verified that only one of the bumper light sparks during reverse gear in “brand new yet to sell” cars as well.

2. Single Step Unlocking after Central Locking

In a moving car, while central locking is active — one may still open any of the car doors by pulling the latch single time. This is different than 2-step unlocking process when central locking is enabled therefore a safety concern.

Excuse From FORD TEAM:

I have been fighting alone on this with Ford Ecosport from past one month since the time I discovered it, and they keep telling me that it is a safety feature so that during any mis-happening anybody can open the door and come out even if central locking function fails to unlock.

My Disagreement:

I am not convinced with the Ford team here, as all the cars even after central locking could be unlocked manually using two-step process as in Maruti cars, Honda, Hyundai cars (not aware of Audi/Merc etc) and it is perfectly safe even in case of mishappenings.

3. Absence of gripping Handle on top of windows

This is an important feature for old-age people like my parents, where they use this handle to save themselves from unusual jerks on typical Indian bumpy roads. Not sure what Ford is gaining or they might be unaware of the usage of this handle, but the absence makes my parents not feel comfortable with jerks and they use both of their hands to hold dashboard or front seat (when on rear seats). I feel so bad with this absence and looking forward to get it done with help of some car mechanic sooner or later.

4. Key case module

Their key case is funny, since they feel that they are providing a keyless entry and one would never use the key. This is the reason, they have designed such a pathetic case where it would be highly difficult to open the case, and every time you open the case there is no way you stop falling this key over the floor. They have designed key in a manner that there is no way to hold it in your hand and it is very slippery, so very difficult to use it in distress scenarios. Have spoken several times to FORD OFFICE for this, wrote hundred times on email and they feel that they have designed a beauty queen.

5. Child-Lock Enable/Disable

This is again an interesting fun, to enable child-lock you always need to have some small sharp thing (something like key, which in this case is so difficult to get out from the case) with you otherwise you can’t enable the child-lock. Seems like their idiotic designer while designing this stupidest key-case in the world failed to change the child-lock design so that it shouldn’t be dependent on key to enable it. I don’t know what stops them in this world to follow normal vehicle design practices to get life easy for people, they could have easily designed it to slide/unslide to enable/disable the child lock, but what they have done is an epitome of Idiocity.

Good pick-up, speed, and powerNA
