Owners of Changan Ford Escort vehicles have filed mass complaints regarding severe corrosion on the side door sills. The issue primarily affects models produced between 2015 and 2017. According to reports, the rust originates from inside the vehicle body panels.
Vehicle owners attribute the defect to inadequate anti-corrosion treatment during manufacturing, specifically a lack of cavity wax injection and flawed drainage design. Some owners have reported that the corrosion has progressed to the point where holes are visible in the door sills.
Affected car owners are demanding that Changan Ford conduct professional inspections and cover all repair costs, arguing that the issue is a systemic manufacturing defect rather than normal wear and tear. They contend that such flaws should be addressed regardless of warranty status.
In response to the complaints, Changan Ford stated it would coordinate with local dealerships to address the situation. However, the company has not yet issued a formal public statement. It remains unclear whether the manufacturer will provide repairs for vehicles that have already exceeded their warranty period.
