Consumer Description

MY FORD ESCAPE IS RUSTING OUT AROUND THE REAR WHEEL WELL ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE AS WELL AS AT THE WELDED SEAMS ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOORS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT CHEAP AND I EVEN PAID EXTRA OR THE RUST PROOFING AND UNDERCOAT BEFORE THE VEHICLE EVER EVEN LEFT THE DEALER PARKING LOT. I DON'T THINK A GOOD QUALITY, WELL MADE VEHICLE WOULD BE RUSTING OUT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD CUSTOMER AND TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS QUALITY. *TR
