Ford Escape in Texas, United States Dec 2008 - Feb 2009
Feb 2009 97000 mi	Engine imploded for some unknown reason with just 98k miles. I decided rather to spend the 6000.00 to replace the engine that I would buy another Ford Escape. Very upset, would have bought something else, but Ford offered incentives to stay with them.
