Replying to: explorerx4 (Feb 25, 2009 4:37 pm) This problem is well beyond what any 10 dollar can of ScotchGuard is going to fix or remedy. Thanks for your wise input though. Replies to this message: vg33e power (Mar 11, 2009 10:54 am) explorerx4 (Mar 11, 2009 2:56 pm)

Replying to: oldbottleman (Mar 11, 2009 10:40 am) Beyond a $10 dollar can of Scotchguard, huh?....next time step up and pay $500 or so more and get the leather interior so you dont have to deal with stained fabric seats.

Replying to: oldbottleman (Mar 11, 2009 10:40 am) there must be a way to clean them. i don't see spots on the pictures of used ones for sale. i meant put on the sctochguard before you get them wet.

Replying to: oldbottleman (Feb 15, 2009 6:08 am) i have the same model. also bought in it in feb. noticed a cup ring on the passenger side seat on the darker woven material. decided to not even try to get it out. other seats were very clean. until a back seat passenger dropped a french fry on the seat. left a grease mark i didn't notice until after the fact. i scrubbed with some dish detergent and hot water. if it comes out, great. if it doesn't, i might contact the dealership. they already replaced a CD player that wouldn't eject a CD all the way. they seem to be responsive (i didn't purchase the vehicle from them).   i'm going to keep an eye out re staining, based on yr post and others. i don't like the recycled fabric. it obviously doesn't repel stains. i plan to spray scotchguard on all the seats.   i previously owned an '03 mini cooper with black cloth seats. they stained easily and were hard to clean. they also faded. i don't think the escape's seats could be any worse.

Replying to: huskerrfan (Sep 29, 2007 7:31 pm) At the risk of sounding cynical, I truly understand why consumers move to Honda and Toyota. I have leather seats in my '09 and they are the cheapest quality leather I have had in a vehicle...they are more like vinyl. Additionally, the vehicle is about 7 months old and I've had to replace the seat track on the drivers side.   I just don't understand dollar-for-dollar why the "Big 3" don't produce better quality vehicles like the imports. I've had the vehicle for 7 months and if I keep it a year from now that will be pushing it. Too bad, because I like the looks and size....just another disposable Bic lighter!

Replying to: johnruns (May 04, 2009 12:01 pm) We have a 2009 Limited and the leather is of a quite good quality. It is a grade above the 2003 Honda Accord EXL we had and about equal to the 2004 Toyota Highlander Limited we owned. Nothing to complain about here.

Replying to: bdyment (May 05, 2009 10:17 am) we just got an '09 too and the leather seems to be of better quality than our '04. although the leather in the '04 has held up well, it has never been very soft. both have better leather than my '02 explorer, although the wear is mostly with the driver's seat.

Replying to: huskerrfan (Sep 29, 2007 7:31 pm) Yes I have as well. I sat in an Eascape today and was considering buying another domestic auto again untill I sat in the dam thing. A park bench is softer. I had a friend with an economy Ford of some type. He was all happy with his new car. I didn't want to say anything but was I glad when we got home. How can they sell crap like that. What can I say that was all it took for me. My first car was a Ford a 1955 Failane 500. Had it through high school. I bought a Chevy soon after that. I noticed one thing right off. (had a car that would start now). Seriously though I think the Escape is ok if ya want the same old re-hashed Mazda motor.And you plan on a trip to the upholstey shop.                                                 Newbob
#34 of 68 stained seats by jdenson Jun 07, 2009 (9:38 am)
I have a 2008 Escape and the seats stain so easily. I HATE the waffle pattern type cloth seats. I've never owned a vehicle with that type. My interior is a light grey. It was recommended by my Ford dealer that I take it to a place to have it cleaned and then put seat covers on. First of all, seat covers aren't going to fix the staining if something gets spilled. Secondly, I paid a crap ton of money for this vehicle and it looks like it's 5 years old. I plan to get the seats cleaned and then Scotchguard them but how well does that really work? How many times am I going to have to do this process. I'm not happy FORD!!! I want a refund!!. I don't know what kind of material it is but it sucks!!!
