I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FORD ESCAPE ~ 1.5 YEARS AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ~ 40 MPH AND SUDDENLY MY BACK WINDSHIELD EXPLODED. SHARDS OF GLASS BLEW INTO MY TRUNK AS WELL AS THE BACK SEAT. WHEN I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY EXPLAINED THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT HELP ME. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL GLASS SHOP SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS SO OVER-PRICED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A FOREIGN OBJECT HITTING MY EXTERIOR WINDOW, SO I WOULD LIKE TO WARN ALL FORD ESCAPE OWNERS OF THIS HAZARD TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. *NM
2008
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE IN DECEMBER, 2008 WITH 35K MILES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A LEAK IN MY TRANSMISSION COOLER. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 ESCAPE. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED THE WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, BUT IT STILL IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. *TR
