NHTSA Complaint #11289173 — 2009 FORD ESCAPE

WHEN I ACCELERATE MY WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING AND GRINDING AND WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES HARD THEY SEEM TO NOT WANT TO STOP KEEPING MY ABS ON I FEEL THE GRINDING AND BRAKE ISSUE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEEL. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THE FRONT WHEEL HOPS AND DOESN'T GET TRACTION WANTS TO CONSTANTLY SLIP AND WHEN I STOP IN SNOW THE BRAKES LOCK UP IN FRONT AND ABS STAYS ON FOR A BIT MIGHT BE GEAR DRIVE OR BEARING IT'S GETTING BAD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE TO GIVE A LOT OF GAS TO GO AND THE ABS WHEN I NEED TO REALLY STOP. THIS STARTED A COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I FINANCED IT THROUGH GENTHE CHEVROLET BUT I WORK MANY HOURS AND IT HAS TO BE FIXED BEFORE I END UP STRANDED OR IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I FIRST TEST DROVE IT IT WAS ACTING UP I TOLD THE SALESMAN DAVE TESKA HE TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED BUT HE MUST OF DOPED IT LIKE THE INTERIOR IT LOOKED NEW WHEN I BOUGHT IT NOW IT HAS STAIN SPOTS AND LOOKS DIRTY I FOUND OUT IT WAS A FORD FABRIC PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE AGAIN FROM GENTHE.
