2006 Ford Escape Hybrid review from North America
"Be cautious"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission hose became detached, drained all the transmission fluid and locked up the vehicle at 189 miles new. Dealer has had the new Hybrid for over a week and isn't readily returning phone calls. Say they will "replace" the transmission.
