 My wife bought this car brand new in 2011.  Worked great for 3 years and 1 month.  3 weeks after our 3 year warranty expired the back left window regulator went out.  Ford would not replace it so we had to have it replaced for $200.  One month later the back right window regulator went out.  Soon after that the AC went out.  And just recently the sun roof stopped opening and closing.  We have owned this car for 4.5 years and have had to get more things fixed then any car I have ever owned.    The car looks nice and drives fine in my opinion but the cost to own it is ridiculous.  I will never buy an escape or a ford for that matter ever again.
