 I had always wanted an Escape and I finally bought one.I have to say that I am so disgusted with it.I had to pay out of pocket to have the throttle body replaced because Ford won't recall them and 3 weeks after the repairs the part is tearing up again.It is dangerous to drive it stalls out in the middle of the road and you try and give it gas and it won't move.I would discourage anyone from buying one.I was born, bread, raised 100% ford girl but I am so anti-Ford now.If you are considering buying one think twice...........
