Escape 4-cyl

  • 28,856 miles
My 16 year old daughter was driving at approximately 25 mph on residential street having just complete a left turn when her front left front tire blew out causing her to lose control of he car and hit the curb. The collision with the curb resulted in damage to the front left rim.the treads on tires appeared to be in good shape the car had only 28,856 miles on it and the vehicle was only a year old. We placed all the tires after reading similar stories about Continental tires on the internet. I have been driving for 32 years and have very experienced anything close to this on relatively new car/ tires.

Very disappointed by the design. Wheel well are extremely difficult to remove ice and slush they are too small and can't remove debris. Wipers in the front is not the greatest. Loses contact on windshield have a heard time seeing where I am going. Terrible wipers when purchased new wipers required. Engine having really odd noise and sluggish. I supposed they replaced the injectors. Had some torque but sounds like timing chain loose or lifters issue. Seats are not comfortable in the rear. Not enough cushion. Windows barely went up and down. Lots of give... too much replaced front window motors.
