Interior and exterior rusting, even though 100% garaged and regularly cleaned/waxed. Dealer told me he has no idea how to get them out either. Water even stains them, and you can't get the stains out. Leak is very minimal, no low oil between changes. Advised me to continue to drive it the way it is, as the repair worth more than the car. Was told that this year of Escape is notorious for leaking oil and eventually needing a $5,000 repair to head gasket to fix. Now I have a small oil leak starting at 85,000 miles. Control arm starting to come loose at 75,000 miles. Waterpump needed replaced at 75,000 miles. Put duct tape around the too-small latch pin and it rattles no more. Here are the facts: What I have had to have fixed: since new, Liftgate rattled: numerous trips/replacement by dealership. Good thinking Ford! Even though this is connected to the drive train, and keeps your transmission from failing, its not a drive train part, and not cover cause its not internal. When your cooler needs changed the A/C Freon needs to be emptied, then fill again, which adds to the labor cost. They both told me to hold on to my receipt in case there is a recall I can get reimbursed I think this is the last Ford I will own.įord's GREAT idea of making the transmission cooler, and the A/C condenser all one piece. This is ridicules I am paying for a defect that Ford knows about. Since there is no recall, and the CSP is over, I had to pay $644.41 out of my pocket. Called Ford Customer Care, and both them, and the Ford dealer acknowledge the defect, but would not cover it. Since I didn't not own the vehicle until November 2010, I had no idea of the problem, and since the original owner never took it in, I have to pay the price. Ford sent a CSP #09B10 to owners for a replacement because of the know defect to the cooler. I was told Ford did do some repairs on these cars that where built early 2008, and that the CSP (Customer Satisfaction Program) expired in August 2010. After doing tons of research on line about the trans cooler defect, I see this has happened to 100's if not 1000's of people that owned 2008 Escapes.
