Continual growling in drivers side wheel while driving. Would growl louder at various speeds. Had it inspected today at the Ford dealership. They confirmed a non-serviceable wheel bearing issue in the rear wheel. Car has 29,756 miles and started around 24000 miles. I bought this car new.

Escape

  • 16,000 miles
We only have 16000 miles on this car and two tires are at 5/32 tread depth. Ford says the will not warranty them until 3/32. This creates a hazard for us as we live in a snow belt of the U.P. Michigan. This tread depth is not good enough for traction on snow and ice.

problem #1

Escape

Got a certified preowned 2016 AWD Ford Escape with original manufacturer jack and lug wrench. Got a flat on driving on a well maintained gravel road going 20 mph. There was less then 2000 miles on the new kelly as 235/55 R17 wheels (no road hazard! just gravel). Tmps system worked, pulled over right away and watched the tire deflate in front of my eyes! got jack and donut out. Lug wrench does not fit lug nuts. Couldn't change the tire w/O assistance. This has been reported on 2014 vehicles so Ford is aware. Be careful and check before you also get trapped on the side of the road. I am not sure if the problem is the wrench or the nuts...but plan on working the problem out with the dealer!
