You’re totally right, it’s a very context-based question. Some of the first places that come to mind are pubs around the UK that I’ve been to. Lots of good memories with my wife there. Have no idea what I ate (probably fish n chips). So does it still count?
I’ll try to categorize.

('14 Escape owner here) I feel like the '20s lost some character. But, I am glad that with the Bronco Sport divergence, the Escape can just be the car that it is, and it doesn't have to poorly pretend to be an outdoor vehicle anymore. Maybe the clowns on the Escape Facebook group will stop...
A cable from the back seat USB ports works great for passengers. It's not that far, and with the rear ports my passengers don't get spammed with Carplay/usb audio/all that stuff.
If all you're waiting on is those panels by the 12v ports to be fixed, you might be able to do it yourself. They pull straight to the rear, and you have to pull HARD. It's possible they missed the clip notch. Now if they broke or lost the little white clips, then yes they owe you some parts.
I pulled the actuator cover and bent the contacts where they would rub against the track a little tighter. Unsure if that was the problem. The way the TSB is written makes me think they got the problem figured out with a new version of actuator. I'm going to try one new one, if it happens again...
The TSB says to replace 18478 which should be everything with the green triangle.
One of the right-hand (in the diagram, driver side of course) 19E616B's is what I pulled out in my video.

*BREAKING NEWS*
Put your pitchforks away, the dash doesn't have to come out.
I too was staring down the barrel of a warranty repair and a dash that rattles for the rest of time. But that just really wasn't in the cards for me. So I went rogue...I have no idea if the dealer will cooperate and...
My battery is on its last leg too. I am ready to take it in but I’m hanging on to my 4x4 for the moment thanks to the crappy weather here in MO this week. So I just keep my jump start pack with me and I’ve only had to use it a couple times so far.
I’m going to beg the dealer to ditch the...
I have experience rebuilding salvage vehicles. My wife’s Escape was a rebuilder. I do the work myself. So I’m not afraid of them.
That said...getting into a wreck with my truck that I special ordered is a major fear of mine. There are always things that just aren’t quite right afterwards...
I have enabled traffic sign recognition via forscan. Not perfect but it works pretty well. It’s nice to have a little speed limit reminder when in unfamiliar areas.
It does not automatically affect cruise control settings in any way.
Lipstick on a pig...lol
I can’t stand the drop-ins, stuff slides around too much. I actually use a rubber mat on top of my spray in, to protect the...uh...bed liner. But it solves the sliding and the knees problems, while also having the walls protected.
It’s worth noting: if you are ordering your truck, factory spray in is going to cost you a few days, possibly up to a week. They drive your truck across the street to a different facility for this and it adds to the overall build time.
This used to be a big deal around here two years ago, now...
