2002 Ford Escape XLT review from North America
"Worst car I've had"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission had to be replaced when it was three years old.
Will not start half of the time. Have had it to the dealership several times for the same problem.
Airbag sensor had to be replaced.
Paint started peeling on the back hatch a couple of years ago and now is peeling on the hood.
General comments?
This is the worst car that I have ever bought brand new. I have a couple of different Ford vehicles that haven't given me any problem, but unfortunately, this one has been one problem after another.
