problem #1

Mar 312004

Escape 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 0 miles
Premature brake rotor wear. Rotors and pads replaced twice; once at 30K miles and again at 60K miles. Brake master cylinder required replacement at 60K miles. Numerous front-end problems after light conventional "on-road" driving (I.e. loose end links, ball joints, misalignment), which in turn resulted in premature destruction of two sets of tires. Burning oil smell in cabin supposedly unidentifiable after numerous attempts by dealer. None of the above covered under warranty. Over $2500 in repairs and vehicle is only at 63K miles!
