I own a 2006 Ford Escape. My problem is I have had popping and squeaking noises in the front end since I purchased the vehicle. I had taken it to the dealership several times for the noises they would always make comments like it must only be when I'm driving that it makes the noise. Needless to say when I complained enough about the problems they checked the SUV and replaced the wheel bearing at 5,000 miles, it also needed new swaybar links,at about 8,000 miles they told me they ordered them. However weeks later they still had not received the parts and I then started have problems with my brakes, when I pushed the brake on the steering wheel would vibrate. Then at 13,000 miles I had to replace both rotors at my expense because the dealership refused to pay for them under warranty( funny isn't it you have a bumper to bumper warranty till 36,000 and it isn't covered ). Now it having 18,000 miles I had to have the new rotors turned. The dealership never replaced the swaybar links. I thought if you had a a problem they could not fix it would fall under the lemon law in missouri, it is apparent they can not fix the problem. What can I do ? I have a 8 month old grandson in the vehicle everyday (well when it isn't in the shop for some reason) I do not feel safe driving with the front end problems it keeps having. I am paying 25,000. 00 dollars for a vehicle that is unsafe not only to my family but to others on the highway. Please advise me on a helpful solution. Thank you for taking the time to read and acknowledge my problems with my Escape.

Front brake rotors wore out prior to brake pads at 34,000 miles on vehicle. I was told that this was normal by the dealer and will occur again. I explained to them that the rotors should be hardened and the pad should wear first, but they told me that this was normal.

Purchased 05 Escape at 40,096 miles in July '06. About 2 weeks later, rotors were warped so dealer replaced them for free. About 10,000 miles later they were warped again and they "turned" the rotors. About 4,000 miles later they were warped again so the dealer replaced them again. Now less than 5,000 miles later, they are warped again. Dealer looked at the car and refused any repairs, only noting that there is *nothing* wrong with the braking system, only the rotors are warped, with no known reason except it must be "the way I am driving". Just today now the abs light is steady on, with no reason that I can notice from my own driving. My own research tells me that it may be a "tone ring" on the axle, which requires a repair for over $1,000 for each axle, as the entire axle must be replaced to repair the "tone ring".

: the contact stated while the vehicle was being serviced at the dealer, it determined the rotors were worn and needed to be replaced. There was no prior warning indicator of a brake problem.

Premature failure, excessive premature wear of the brake rotors. Vehicle serviced by trebour Ford every 5,000 miles according to service schedule. At this visit, informed that brake pads were close to needing replacement. This is normal and understandable. However, was also informed that the brake rotors were beyond the point of being used further. They were worn so badly that they could not be machined even once. My experience is that brake rotors when properly maintained should last the life of the vehicle. This vehicle has been maintained properly and has 34,917 miles which has been primarily highway usage. The need for brake rotor replacement at this point was due to defective equipment installed at time of production.

I brought my 2002 Ford Escape in for its 45k mile service and was told by the dealer that the rotors needed replacement. I said the pads have not yet worn out though. They said I was lucky to make it this far. Most Escapes have them wear out at 30k or less due to poor quality and too thin rotors. Dealer said cost to replace rotors and pads will be $338. 00 including labor to replace.

My name is nicole williams, I purchased a Ford Escape SUV on August 22, 2002 from day Ford in pittsburgh, PA on August 22, 2002. I have been have many problems with my vehicle since I purchased it. Prior to moving to florida in June, I had the car serviced again and was told I need new rotors, brakes and tires. I moved to florida, and on January 2005, I had to replace the clutch because it had rust and corrosion on it. The service tech question all the rust under the vehicle and I told him that I did not know why there was so much. N March 18th, I was in a car accident and my front end was damaged. I had the car taken to matthew currie Ford, where they service my car. I picked up the car on April 20, 2005 and was still having problems with it. I thought it was from the accident. I was told on April 21, 2005 that I need new spark plugs. I told them that I was not paying for it and that they need to call aig. On April 22, 2005 the service manager called me to tell me that my car had water damage and that it was purchsed this way. I then got a rental car and I called dayford to see what they had to say and how they were going to fix the problem. At first I was told that they did not sell me a car with water damage. Then he said he would call me back. Well I have not heard anything from them. Over the weekend I found out that my car was purchased from kansas city on July 20, 2002 and then serviced on July 27, 2002 by dayford. The sevices were engine serviced, vehicle serviced, suspension system serviced, brakes serviced, state inspection completed, miscellaneous service performed, emmissions system serviced and lubed oil and filter changed. These services were completed with only 3 miles on the car. I pulled the information from carfax and that what it says.

Front brake rotors go out of round. One dealer resurfaced, warr, not there long after out of round again. Replaced with new, again out of round . Another dealer replaced rotors twice. Again out of round. Vehicle pulsates while stopping.

As my 2004 Ford Escape turned 25,000 miles, the brake light came on. I took it to my local brake shop, and they advised me that the front brake rotors were warped and had to be replaced as well as the brake pads. The brake fluid was also very low. The brake shop manager stated that it is extremely unusual for rotors to be replaced at 25,000 miles. Upon investigating other similar claims on various websites, it appears that Ford motor CO. Had many complaints on various models for the identical problem. According to one complaint website, Ford motor CO. Was subject to a class action by Ford consumers in 2003 regarding the replacement of warped rotors on their vehicles and other brake issues. I'd contacted my dealership, and the assistant service manager told me that if the brake problem occured within the 12 month/12,000 mile period, it would be covered; otherwise, it was my financial problem. Since Ford motor CO. Has been aware of the inferior brake problem and continues to install the inferior rotors on their new vehicles, why should the consumer continue to have to pay for replacements every year or 25,000 miles? according to the brake specialists, rotors generally are replaced between 60,000 - 85,000 miles, and not 25,000, unless there is a defect in product.

2002 Ford Escape with 36,000 miles on it. I had the front brakes survived for the first time on this car and found that rotors cannot be turned even one time on these cars without bringing it below specs. I had to replace both rotors at a cost of $199. 00. I complained to Ford about this and was told that this was part of normal wear and tear. I have never owned car that had to have rotors replaced with this low mileage before I do not accept this is a normal situation. It is a case of Ford putting cheap throw away parts in cars and not disclosing this information to buyers at the time they purchase the car.

Vehicle has been recalled 3 times for safety defects. At 25000 miles I was told that I needed to replace the rotors. It is too early for this to be occurring and have found information that this seems to be a complaint that has been frequent on this car make. They replaced the eccellerator cable and now the car seems to be sluggish in eccellerating from a stopped position.

The front rotors on my 2001 Ford Escape xls 4-wd have worn down very quickly. The rotors must be made out of some sort of soft metal because I haven't replaced my brake pads yet and my rotors need to be replaced already.

Rotors had to be replaced at 24,000 miles on my 2001 Ford Escape on September 25, 2003. I had the vehicle in for a master cylinder problem in December of 2002 and the dealership said they could find any leaks and just topped the fluid and sent me on my way. I had to have the vehicle towed in March and on March 7, 2003 the dealership finally found out I had a master cylinder leak and replaced it under warranty. I believe that the master cylinder problem may have caused the rotor problem (the rotors were so bad they could not even be turned. ) the independent shop that replaced the rotors also said the pads were just about metal to metal. I had not forwarning of this problem. Ford would not even refund have of the charge for the rotor problem or even look at the old rotors which were returned to me the the specs marked on them.
