problem #1

Escape SEL 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

If you're driving down the road and it sounds like you're in a softop jeep, like air coming in the door going down the highway, your windshield may need resealing.

The problem is apparently a sealant problem. My dealership, Germain Ford of Beavercreek, Ohio, told me they have had to reseal several windshields in 2013, 2014 and (a) 2016 Escapes.

This is obviously a factory defect, not sure why my Premium Extended Warranty doesn't cover it, however once enough people realize and complain about the issue, I foresee getting my money refunded. It took me almost four years and three dealerships to find out where the noise was coming from and get it fixed.
