A couple months ago, i bought a 2006 ford escape, but within a short time it started shutting down with no warning. I lost all power (steering and brakes) and had to pull the emergency brake to stop. Thank god i was near a parking lot and there was no cars coming. Now, every time i drive it, the problem gets worse. When going up hills and at higher speeds, it spits and sputters and sometimes it will just shut down…

The right wheel well of my 2006 ford escape (limited) is completely rusted out. I can no longer drive this vehicle because the shock is about to break through the interior of the vehicle. The rust has caused exhaust to pour into the vehicle. Before knowing about this, i took my vehicle to several different mechaincs because i could smell exhaust. They couldn't find anything. A canadian auto body person (i love on…

Driving down the freeway and my vehicle shuts off without warning. There is a loud knocking and shuttering noise like my whole engine is going to drop onto the freeway. I get to the shoulder and put it in park. As i try to start the vehicle again the engine/motor starts shaking yet again with a loud knocking noise and wont turn over. I had to get my car towed. My children were extremely scared and being on the…

Throttle cable broke. The gas pedal fell to the car floor and the car stopped all acceleration. I was on a city street under the speed limit, so i was able to pull to the side of the road and wait for a tow truck. My mechanic fixed it 9/23, as this is a dealer only part and i had to order it.

The 2006 ford escape xlt car was well maintained and i am the only owner. The right wheel well shock tower is completely rusted out and is very dangerous to drive. The cost was estimated at over 1,000. Dollar to fix. There has been numerous others who have had the same experience and ford will not do anything about the safety issue. Since i replaced the 2 rear shocks the right wheel well rusting clunking issue has…

My husband and i bought a new 2006 ford escape. We splurged on rust proofing. We just learned that our wheel well has completed rusted out making the car unsafe to drive. Ford refuses to help rectify this problem despite the fact that this is a serious safety issue and we could have a serious accident. I have found many other dissatisfied ford escape customers online who have had the same experience and have not…

The alarm will go off randomly while in park and not running. Has gone off at different times of the day. Dealer replaced "smart junction box" but did not fix problem. Returned to dealer after it happened again. Thought it might be a latch problem but unless it happened while the vehicle was at dealership, they would not be able to be sure which latch and replacing all latches would be very expensive.

I drove 7 miles to work. It was a little foggy/dewey out so i turned on my rear defrost. The temperature was in the low 60's, so cool, but not cold by any means. I parked my car and rolled the windows (all 4) down @ 3 inches. When i parked my car @ 8:00am it was fine. By 9:10am, i was informed that the back windshield of my car was "broken". When i went to check my car, the back windshield had completely blown out.…
