 Ford Manyfacturing has gone down and it shows in the 2015 Ford Escape. For the second time in a month and a half, my car is in the shop, dead. It won't start, it won't do anything. It's a brick. And no doubt the dealership will find the issue/problem but it won't find the cause of the issue/problem. So I will be back there again. Getting to use a rental. Which means I get to drive something others an a ford if I so choose. I bought my car from a horrible dealer in HANFORD California - Keller Williams Ford. They took advantage of our need for a car and screwed us out of a truck. Eric Huff was our salesman. The WORST car dealership in the world! My Escape isn't just a car, it's where I drove my family across the country while my husband was deployed. It's where my oldest and I tease about who has control of the radio. It's what I drive to go pick up my kids after school. What we drive to visit my family.. And my husbands. It's more than a car. My kids eat, sleep and play in it. My puppy snuggles between them comfortably. It a second home to us. And it's unsafe. It's not dependable and it's not what I thought Ford produced. But from the day I drove it off the lot? I've had problems. Things breaking off. Pieces and handles and locks breaking. Trunk got stuck a few times. Once in the pooring rain. It all adds up. And now I'm without a car. You need to make sure this doesn't happen to others! I hear the 2016 Escapes are having the same issues. You pop the cars out and let kids put them together like Legos. And now? The consumer is the one that suffers from your pathetic manufacturing and engineering. So do I suggest or recommend the Ford Escape? NO. Just NO. It's not safe. I actually don't trust any Ford car.. But do NOT get he Escape. Be smart. Smarter than Ford and got for a reliable, safe car. The Escape is not it.
