Consumer Description

THE 2006 FORD ESCAPE XLT CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER. THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL SHOCK TOWER IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE COST WAS ESTIMATED AT OVER 1,000. DOLLAR TO FIX. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND FORD WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE I REPLACED THE 2 REAR SHOCKS THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL RUSTING CLUNKING ISSUE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND IS A VERY BAD SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE. PLEASE MAKE FORD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COMMON TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE.
