WE BUOUGH A NEW 2012 ESCAPE ON OCT 27/11. AND HAVE HEARD THAT . WHEN THE A/C DRIER GOES , THE ENTIRE A/C SYSTEM IS RUINED. AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY . ( AND ) FORD CANADA KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM. CONVIENTLY IT.S NOT A SAFETY ISUUE , IT,S A CONVIENCE ISSUE . DO YOU THINK I AM ABOUT TO BUY ANY OTHER FORD PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE . YOU CAN BURN ME ONCE BUT NEVER THE SECOND TIME . THERE ARE MORE CARS OUT THERE THAN FORD . WHO WOULD JUST LOVE TO DEAL WITH AN HONEST CO & DEALER .

When a car has been recalled does mean that the car is unreliable in a sort of a partS funactionally. ESPECALLY, sence that problem still exists in alot pf Ford escapes from 2001 thru 2010 and ford dowes not seem to care that the escape model is riddled with bad/designed parts. I'm the process of trying to get 1,000.000 signures to start a class action suite on the ford escape and its bad designed

Rear passenger door on drivers side in a Ford 2001 Escape, will.
not open from inside or outside. A very dangerous matter for passengers. Browsing the internet I find it is a very common defect.What are you doing about it.
Further it has the V6 engine, and to change three of the spark plugs you need to take of the exhaust manifold,an intolerable situation
