Personally one should NEVER buy any first year vehicle from any brand unless you are ready to be the "guinea pig" for the specified model. Mine is a 2004 Limited 4WD...never had a problem! (knock on wood).

I believe you had some bad luck with your first year production Escape. I do think you get a little far fetched with the fund raiser sob story. Ford sells over 200,000 Escapes a year so there are going to be some problems. If you want to see problems look at the Honda Accord forum. I own an Escape and I would never buy another Honda. I had a really bad experiance with a 2008 Accord (first year for a new model) If you feel sorry for me could you have a fund raiser for me?

Do you realize that you just responded to a post that is from July 2009? I think you might be just a little late.

Oops! Just a little disgruntled over my rotten Ford! I hope this person steered clear of a crappy product. If not they probably figured out the mistake and unloaded it by now...

Nope I have 3 Fords in my garage. 1996 Mustang 200,000 miles runs like a scalded dog. 2010 Fusion 20,000 miles no problems and I have a 2011 Escape 7000 miles averaging 28MPG runs like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. You can Bash Ford all you want but I am going to guess that you did get a bad one but all manufactures have this issue. Good luck to you in whatever you replaced your Escape with.

"Have you held off on a car purchase because you're waiting for a better deal? Or did you go ahead and buy because you assume car prices could just rise even further this summer? An Associated Press reporter would like to talk with you. Please send your contact information to Aaron Lewis at predmunds.com."

Hello Auburnnette, yes every car seems to have some problems. Its just choose one that has the least. Today I bought a Ford Escape and it is my first SUV. My last 3 cars were Toyotas (one every 10 years till this last piece of ............) Never again on Toyota. I have been researching and driving vehicles for over 2 months and have always come back to this car. I just had a sigh of AHHHHHHHHHHH driving it home today. Hope you fall in love with it just as I did.
