| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had a 2003 ford escape that was 2wd. i needed 4wds so we purchased a 2004 escape xlt based on previous good experience. what has ford done to this previously excellent vehicle? we have two major complaints, but nhtsa does not consider four attempts to repair ac that is leaking freon into the passenger compartment worthy of a complaint. so we will address complaint #2. vehicle brakes irradically, makes grinding noises, and brakes constantly hum. we thought this was due to being a 4wd, but after visiting your website find this to be a predominate problem on all 2005 escapes. |
