1 Tank Mounting problem of the 2011 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 01/23/2012

Last year I purchased a 2011 Ford Escape and have been completely dissatisfied with my purchase. The selling dealer, tower Ford in great neck, new york has done absolutely nothing to help me rectify my serious complaint and concerns with my vehicle. One of my biggest concerns is that the transmission slips, the accelerator pedal sticks, the brakes are very low, and a swishing liquid noise is heard in the fuel tank when stopping, the right side rear passenger door squeaks, and the center console is loose. I've brought my truck back to this dealer many times and all I receive is that they can not verify my complaint and concerns. I am concerned for my family and my safety. Any help would be appreciated.

2 Tank Mounting problem of the 2007 Ford Escape

Failure Date: 10/01/2009

My vehicle is a 2007 Ford Escape XLT. For the past several months when I try to gas up the vehicle I can only put in a small amount of gasoline. It appears that the gas filler pipe cover (a little flap that is mounted on the inside of the filler pipe) is gone. Because it is mounted from the inside, the only place it could have gone is into the filler pipe which causes a blockage so that gas backs up and spills out. It takes about 15 minutes to fill the gas tank with a constant auto turn off of the fuel pump. On and off, on and off with the gas pump. Do not go to a full serve station as they just stick the pump in and wait on someone else. . . At almost $4. 00 per gallon you do not want to pay for all the fuel that just goes on the ground!!! this creates both a hazardous and environmental issue at the gas station!! Ford should issue a recall and fix these things!!!.
