problem #1

Jun 152004

Escape 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 154 miles
Brakes are making noise intermittingly. It sounds like blowing in a bottle. Went to the dealership for service 3 times in the first month of ownership. They keep grinding down the rotors and it's not helping. Apparantly Ford Corp. Is aware of the problem and are trying to find a cure. They don't know what to do at this point. Also, stealth security system failed, and the vehicle had to be towed back to the dealer for repair. This also happened in first month of ownership.
