 We bought this '08 Escape Limited a year ago.Big mistake!Car had really bad ride & was terrible on gas (V6).Tranny shifted hard especially going up/down hills.There must have been a crickets nest in the dash because all it did was chirp constantly, especially when cold outside.One side of dash vents blow hot/the other side cold.Ford dealer doesn't care.Basically tell you that how it is & how they are built.Unbelieveable!Traded for a CRV & was the best move we ever made!
