    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.

    Loud rattling noise coming from the front suspension. Believed to be struts, sway bar, or sway bar links. Only happens while in motion on all types of terrain.

    Very often as i'm driving the power steering will go out making it very dangerous to turn the wheel will just jerk away.. Also the fuel tank has always been an issue. Now i am unable to pump gas without gas leaking out. The wheels and tires always go flat i'm thinking something to do under truck

    Went to the dealer, [xxx] , to get an oil change and they told me my maine state inspection was due. The inspection failed due to corrosion on the left front lower control arm bushing. There is a recall on earlier escape models, but my 2011 model was not covered. It cost me around 600 dollars to repair. If earlier models had this problem why are consumers paying for the same repair on newer models? Information…
