Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS USED ESCAPE ABOUT 2 YRS AGO, FIRST YR OVER $400 INTO STABILIZER BAR SWAY BARS FRONT END REPAIRS,,OK, SECOND YR, GUESS WHAT? YES TRANSMISSION 3RD GEAR OUT...AFTER DOING REVIEWS ON HERE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHEN ONE LIVES ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND YOU LIVE ON $100 A WEEK DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH FOR REPAIRS,, YES I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO SOME MAINTANCE BUT HOLLY COW THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS NOT CHEAP. I HAVE ONLY PUT 9,223 MILES ON THIS SUV SINCE I HAD IT. WITH AS MANY PROBLEMS AS THERE IS WITH THE ESCAPE TRANSMISSION ONE WOULD THINK FORDS WOULD GET IT RIGHT, WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS NOT EVEN A RECALL. EVERY PLACE I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO I'T LIKE HERE COMES A OLE LADY WE'LL TELL HER ANYTHING AND EMPTY HER WALLET, CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THE CRAP I WAS TOLD WITH DIFF $$ MAKING MY HEAD SPIN, WHO DO YOU BELIVE WHEN FORDS LET YOU DOWN AND DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD PERSON BUT NOT ANYMORE!! I CAN'T MAKE PAYMENTS AND REPLACE TRANYS ON A FIXED INCOME. I AM DOING MY HOMEWORK NOW AND IT LOOKS LIKE CHEVY HERE I COME. FORD GET IT TOGETHER
