Consumer Description
THE LEFT QUARTER (DOG LEG ONLY METAL PATCH) SEVERILY RUSTED AND I HAD IT REPAIRED , MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RUSTED OUT. ONLY THE LEFT SIDE IS AFFECTED AND NO WATER REST IN THAT AREA. NOW HERE I AM 3 YEARS LATER AND THAT SAME AREA ON THE LEFT SIDE IS RUSTING AGAIN AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE RUSTED OUT JUST LIKE BEFORE. IT'S LIKE THE RUST CAME BACK WITH A VENEGENCE THE GUY AT B& K COLLISION WHERE I HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED ADVISED ME HE COULDN'T GUARANTEE ME THAT THE RUST WOULDN'T RESURFACE, WELL IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. MY ISSUE IS WHY IS IT ONLY AFFECTING THE LEFT SIDE AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR WHAT OBVIOUSLY IS A DEFECTIVE PAIN AND/OR PART!!! I'VE SEEN OTHER FORD ESCAPE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, SAME SIDE, ETC!!!
