2002 Ford Escape LXT review from North America
"Worst vehicle on the road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stalling after 3 days of ownership. Took 3 months to correct problem.
Replaced 3 CD players because it kept eating my CD's.
Left front axle replaced.
Sunroof doesn't work.
Air bag light comes on and off.
ABS light is on.
General comments?
I had problems with this vehicle 3 days after I purchased it. It kept stalling. Ford wouldn't do anything about it until I called one of the news stations and they came out and interviewed me and Ford. It took 8 months to resolve that problem. My airbag light blinks on and off. I recently took it in because there was a recall regarding the ABS system. They told me it was my front axle. 2 months after getting that repaired for $900, the ABS light is on and I'm experiencing the same symptoms as before when they told me it was my axle. The sunroof doesn't work. The list goes on and on. I'm contacting a lawyer. I've really had it with this vehicle! I will NEVER buy another Ford again!
