#50 of 70 Interior Air Pressure by jmi1266 Jul 29, 2009 (10:53 am)
When I have my sunroof open in my 2009 Escape the air pressure builds up much the only way to relieve it is to crack open another window. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there another answer to solving this problem. Replies to this message: vg33e power (Jul 29, 2009 2:16 pm) antoninb (Jul 29, 2009 4:22 pm) explorerx4 (Jul 29, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: jmi1266 (Jul 29, 2009 10:53 am) Do you mean that a lot of wind comes in when your sunroof is open? IF so, you may be able to minimize wind flow and buffeting by adding a wind deflector for the sunroof.

Replying to: jmi1266 (Jul 29, 2009 10:53 am) I haven't noticed this with my 2009 and I use the sunroof whenever permissable, but I suppose it would depend on how you determine that a buildup of air pressure is occuring. One solution would be to buy the deflector for the front of the sunroof opening. Having said that, if there is additional air coming into the vehicle via the open sunroof, then that additional air has to have some place to go. Opening a window a bit would seem to make sense.

According to Edmunds, the braking distance of Escape is quite poor compared to its rivals. Any experience and comments? This is one main reason stops me from buying it so far. Thanks. Replies to this message: bdyment (Aug 01, 2009 4:30 am)

Replying to: aloha2006 (Jul 31, 2009 11:35 pm) I was somewhat concerned when Ford went to rear drum brakes on the 2008 Escapes. I had four wheel disc brakes on our 07, however after test driving the 2009 V6 with rear drums we purchased the vehicle. The brakes are very good--smooth, nice pedal pressure and the stopping distances seem every bit as good as our 07, if not better.

#59 of 70 Rear drums by aloha2006 Aug 03, 2009 (9:55 pm)
bdyment: thanks for your comments. You meant Ford had disc brakes in 07 and then went back to drums in 08 and 09. I was concerned about the braking distance compared to its competitors like RV4, CRV or Rogue. I had a 1999 4Runner before and found the brakes are not as good as German autos. I know it's not a fair comparison. I'm thinking to get the Escape as my next car. Replies to this message: explorerx4 (Aug 05, 2009 3:18 pm)
