NHTSA Complaint #10129495 — 2002 FORD ESCAPE

MY 2002 FORD ESCAPE HAS HAD TOO MANY PROBLEMS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. I PURCHASED THE VEHCILE USED IN MARCH OF 2005 WITH 23K MILES. IT NOW HAS 30K. PLEASE NOTE IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER I FEEL THE VEHCILE IS RIDDLED WITH PROBLEMS TO DATE: THE CD4E AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 4500 MIULES BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER(PERFORMED BY FORD) ALONG WITH THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS AND RETAINER RINGS. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE: 1. THE VEHCILE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ALONG. THE PCM WAS RE-FLASHED BY FORD, HOWEVER IT STILL FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL AT CERTAIN TIMES. 2. THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING LEAKED ANTIFREEZE AND TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO FIX IT. 3. THE ACCERLERATOR CABLE WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL. 4. THE REAR GLASS RATTLES AS THE LATCH LOOKS WORNS OUT ALREADY. 5. THE ENGINE HAD VALVE TRAIN NOISE AND THE CAMSHAFT RETAINERS WERE REPLACED 6. THE ENGINE LEAKED OIL DUE TO THE DEALERS FAULTY REPAIR 7. THE FAN ASSEMBLY/BLOWER MOTOR BEARINGS HAVE FAILED AND A NEW PART IS ON ORDER. I AM VERY UPSET AND DISAPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I QUESTION IT AS I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IT IT.
