2002 Ford Escape XLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have just had to replace both front wheel bearings at 33,000 miles (luckily still under warranty). Car started to become noisy when driving at 25 mph+, sounded like tire whine from having an aggressive tire tread on dry pavement. Seems much quieter now with the new wheel bearings. Also replaced brakes had to put on new rotors as well. Seems that to be becoming a pricey maintenance vehicle. It's a shame because this car has been babied by my wife. Hate to see performance under tougher conditions.
