Consumer Description

AT LESS THAN 28000 MILES, THE 06 FORD ESCAPE LIMITED PRODUCED A SHARP, SHORT SCRAPING NOISE AT THE FIRST TURN OF THE STARTER. IT MOSTLY DOES IT ON THE FIRST START, BUT NOT ALWAYS. TOOK IT TO JONES WEST FORD IN RENO AND THEIR COMMENT WAS "ALL ESCAPES DO THAT". I'M RETIRED, AND WILL BE DRIVING THIS MACHINE FOR A LONG TIME. I'D LIKE IT TO BE DEPENDABLE. THE SOUND ISN'T "NORMAL" FOR ANY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE FOUND THE PROBLEM. (THE CAR RUNS WELL OTHER THAN THAT ). HELP? *TR
