Re: And you report on this because...
I was curious about a couple of these issues.
For the Ford escapes, are you referring to PE23013? If so it's not a case of doors falling off. It is a case of failure to completely latch when closing it (meaning it could open when braking).
As for the burning death, I'm guessing you're reffering to the dodge Journey? I'm struggling to find more details other than a few journal pieces repeating the same info, but from what I can gather, it was an electrical failure that prevented unlocking the doors whereas a manual override was possible by simply pulling the pin. Something which most modern cars don't allow to do (and Teslas don't in the back seats).
It's true that Tesla's failure are sensationalized, but when you throw out the window the decades of redundancy that car makers put in their cars in order to save some bucks, you get criticized a bit harsher when said failures happen.
