On my 2006 ford escape i almost died on highway because the subframe on passenger side of the ford broke. Upon looking up information i noticed that their was a recall for ford escapes 00 _04 but that escape is the same frame and structure. I never owned a car that the frame was suppose to brake like that. I hope nobody ever gets hurt but this.problem should be addresses because that car is very popular.

While driving i heard a loud noise then shortly after heard something rubbing then very shortly after my left rear tire blew out. I stopped to look and it looks like the area where the rear strut attached to the body completely rusted away. The car is most likely not repairable. *tr

Excessive wheel hub corrosion, shock freed and damaging interior and exterior wheel hub area. Not driving vehicle at this point, too dangerous. Advised by several mechanics to contact ford motor with complaint. Ford motor call center took information and hung up on me. Would not direct me to supervisor. No recall at this point for 2006, but many complaints in former years regarding the same issue. Very dangerous…
