2009 Ford Escape 4dr SUV
240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD
| 17500 mi | squeaking in rear of vehicle, sounds like coming from back seat latch. dealer advised coming from back glass. told me because I drive on dirt road (2mi/day) dust is getting on the glass under the rubber seal, they applied grease. rear back glass greased by dealer, but started squeaking again on way home from dealer on paved road. |
| 30000 mi US $40 |
heard noise in transmission area then in right front area, dealer claims it was dirt & rocks wedged underneath. Also they were saying I must have high centered it, not true. I drive 2 miles/day on a dirt road with minimial gravel. Phoned Ford to inquire/complain that must be manufacturing flaw if dirt/rocks cause excessive noise on AWD off road vehicle. Really didn't care, also mentioned back glass issue. Advised will tell engineers, but didn't really seem to car Mentioned that unacceptable that back glass should require greasing, who ever heard of such. Also didn't realize I would have to crawl under my vehicle everyday to remove rocks & dirt that may have gotten under it. Would not recommend this Ford Escape to anyone buying it for use other than paved road. Apparently isn't capable of going on any other surface without issues with dirt/gravel build up. Local Dealership service worker lied to Ford rep about what I advised the issue was. Totally unacceptable. Do not recommend local service department. |
