 We bought a 2008 Escape, we were so excited to finally have what we thought was a great new car. Well that quickly turned into a nightmare.It needed a new transmission in 2013, and now the transmission is gone again. $7000 to fix!!!!Why does the transmission last only a year?? What garbage. Then on top of the product being terrible, we were treated poorly when we took it to Ford AND by the representatives we spoke to at customer service o the 1-800 number.We are taking it to Honda to trade it in like the scrap it is, and getting a car we can actually rely on!!
