Was driving less than 15mph when suddenly i lost all control of steering on the front passenger side. When i was able to get help after sitting on the side of the road for 16 hours, i was informed that one of the three wheel bearings had snapped. I did a little research and found the recall for the passenger side wheel assembly and bearings. I entered my vin number and it didn't say whether or not it would be fixed.…

While doing the last several services on my escape, i've noticed the front cradle/crossmember severely rusted, but not rusted through. On this last service,(10/22/19) i noticed two spots rusted through, very similar to the recall on the previous body escapes.

Just driving and all of a sudden loud metal noise. Then intermittent metal scraping sound. Took it to the shop and they said it's an axel and transmission problem. It will cost more to repair than the car is worth. I still owe 2 years of payments. Terrible absolutely terrible. On a city street coming to a stop at a light traveling approximately 25mph. No accident or anything just driving slow coming to a stop.
