2001 Ford Escape review from North America
"Not worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first start the car and back up or go in any direction slowly... (under 10mph) the car jumps.. like in the movies... where you bounce up and down... however unlike the movies, I can't control it. once I get the car going it stops.
MY next problem occured today when I was driving, I was on my way to go pick up a few people, and I'm driving about 40mph, and the engine light on the dash comes on. I pull over and look for the manuel, and of course... its not there.
I've been looking everywhere online to find out why the engine light came on.
I'm very upset because I just got this car a couple months ago, and I know its got a lot of miles... but geez.
So if you have any information or help I would love to hear it.
Thanks
Julie

General comments?
The CD player won't work
the AC doesn't work,
all of which have broken randomly over the last 3 weeks.
Ifs a very cute car, and I enjoy it.
However the down falls really upset me.
I wouldn't recommend this car.
Unless you've got a lot of money to fix all the problems.
