NHTSA Complaint #10210471 — 2006 FORD ESCAPE

I OWN A 2006 FORD ESCAPE. MY PROBLEM IS I HAVE HAD POPPING AND SQUEAKING NOISES IN THE FRONT END SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE NOISES THEY WOULD ALWAYS MAKE COMMENTS LIKE IT MUST ONLY BE WHEN I'M DRIVING THAT IT MAKES THE NOISE. NEEDLESS TO SAY WHEN I COMPLAINED ENOUGH ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THEY CHECKED THE SUV AND REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARING AT 5,000 MILES, IT ALSO NEEDED NEW SWAYBAR LINKS,AT ABOUT 8,000 MILES THEY TOLD ME THEY ORDERED THEM. HOWEVER WEEKS LATER THEY STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED THE PARTS AND I THEN STARTED HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES, WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE ON THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE. THEN AT 13,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH ROTORS AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PAY FOR THEM UNDER WARRANTY( FUNNY ISN'T IT YOU HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY TILL 36,000 AND IT ISN'T COVERED ). NOW IT HAVING 18,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE NEW ROTORS TURNED. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER REPLACED THE SWAYBAR LINKS. I THOUGHT IF YOU HAD A A PROBLEM THEY COULD NOT FIX IT WOULD FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW IN MISSOURI, IT IS APPARENT THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO ? I HAVE A 8 MONTH OLD GRANDSON IN THE VEHICLE EVERYDAY (WELL WHEN IT ISN'T IN THE SHOP FOR SOME REASON) I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THE FRONT END PROBLEMS IT KEEPS HAVING. I AM PAYING 25,000.00 DOLLARS FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS UNSAFE NOT ONLY TO MY FAMILY BUT TO OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON A HELPFUL SOLUTION. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ AND ACKNOWLEDGE MY PROBLEMS WITH MY ESCAPE. *TR
