Consumer Description
I TRADED IN MY 2007 FORD FUSION FOR A 2017 FORD ESCAPE SE OVER 5 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES EVER SINCE. THE FIRST FEW DAYS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SHOWED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAD ME DROP IT OFF ON A SATURDAY AND THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM THAT MONDAY. THE ISSUE WAS A FUEL SENSOR. I ALSO NOTICED THE WIPERS WERE MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF RAIN. THE WIPERS WOULD STUTTER QUITE A BIT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY FINALLY FIXED. THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. I ALSO NOTICED I WOULD GET A LOW TIRE MESSAGE. I TOOK IT TO THEM THE FIRST TIME AND THEY PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. I RECEIVED THE MESSAGE THE SECOND TIME AND PUT AIR IN THE TIRE. I RECEIVED THE SAME MESSAGE A FEW DAYS AGO, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD 2 NAILS IN THE TIRE AND TRIED TO SELL ME A TIRE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WASN'T HAPPY. I TOLD THEM TO PLUG THE TIRE AND I LEFT. ALL THESE ISSUES WITH 5 WEEKS OF HAVING THIS CAR. UNBELIEVABLE.
