Description of the problem | From the time we first bought the escape (new) the battery light has came on at random times. We have taken in and dealer said there is not an electrical problem. When we drive the car and have the heat or air on it will randomly turn off and then a minute later come back on full blast. I also have rust under wheel wells that ford said they would not cover because it did not preferate the body but is clearly creeping up the uouside of the rear quarter panel as well. I have seen this on many of the same year escapes. When i pushed for results they opened an investigation then came back and said they would split the cost with me which i believe should be fully covered since it was still under the 5 year unlimited mileage body coverage. Also, my wife was driving the vehicle last week and it randomly stalled on her causing her to pull off the road. Safety is becoming a concern. Not pleased with results given. |
