problem #3

Jan 092018

Escape Titanium 2 L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,400 miles

It sounds like the warning squeal letting you know your brakes need changing, but only has 7400 miles on new car. Not there all the time, comes and goes.

Escape LL

Took to service and was told normal. Backing up the brakes squeal since I purchased and still does. I purchased the car June 24, 2016 and this is April 3,2017 still does this and I'm told it is normal. I do not believe this.

Escape SE 1.5

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,600 miles

Purchased a new 2017 Ford Escape in August; in November the rear brakes started to squeak off-and-on when I back up. Called the dealership - was told it is normal, nothing we can do. Took the vehicle in to the dealership on January 25, 2017 because I was still dealing with the squeaking, again I was told - there is nothing we can do, this is normal, all Fords 2016 & 2017 do it. The problem is still going on and it is March 1, 2017. I called the dealership again today and again I was told that there is nothing that they can do. I do know there is a service bulletin out on 2106 & 2017 about the brakes, but the service guy assured me that it does not pertain to my vehicle and my squeaky brakes are NORMAL, I told him that I don't know who he thinks he is but squeaky brakes are not NORMAL. I did not spend and have a huge loan on a brand new vehicle to have it squeak.
