Problems with 2005 Ford Escape EQUIPMENT

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 ford escape. the contact stated that the air conditioning unit only blew out hot air. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the air conditioning compressor was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was approximately 30,000. the vin was not provided.

Driving when stopped tried to put vehicle in drive and would not go. the failure is the transmission, have had the vehicle for a littler over a year and has been in the shop for at least 9 months. rebuilt ford tranny still cannot get it right. 1st time would not do into drive 2nd time driving down the highway and went into high rpm's and wouldn't shift gears. 3rd time stopped went put vehicle into drive would not engage. 4th time would not engage to reverse. 5th time would not engage into any gear. *tr

I have a 2005 ford escape xlt that has 46000 miles on it and i had both tone rings replaced and i think the one is bad again and it is only a year old. i only drive this vehicle on the paved roads and my short dirt road. i am not hard on the vehicle at all. the ford dealership replaced them for almost $400 parts/labor. the part is only $55 and the rest is labor. ridiculous! of course they are not covered by my warranty that came with the vehicle, which is a 6yr/75000. am i going to have to fork out this money every year, because these things break under normal driving conditions? i think the for company should have to pay to have them replaced, because apparently they are cheaply made and lots of people are having the same problem... the 1st one was replaced on 8/4/08 with 36735 miles and the second one was replaced on 1/8/09 with 40560 miles and i think one is bad again, because the abs light came on again and is flashing service brakes/4x4. apparently these things are defective. they replaced the abs sensing ring on the left and right axles..alot of good that did. *tr

I was involved in a minor car accident when my airbag deployed and caused 2nd degree burns to both of my top forearms, i also fractured my right wrist that separated the cartilage in my wrist and required surgery. i am a healthy, active 42 year old woman never been in an accident. i believe the airbag did not deploy correctly and may even need to be recalled to make sure it was installed efficiently. the burns sustained to my arms are not consistent with typical burns from airbags that i have researched. the bag itself did not come out straight, nor even hit my chest, it came out of the top of the steering wheel. i want to prevent this from happening to others. *tr

My 2005 ford escape was missing bad. ford replaced cap and plug, then called me to say that was not the problem it was "lack of maintenance" and wants me to pay 400.00 to fix it. first of all, my husband used to work for ford dealership and he takes care of all maintenance for me. what good is a manufacturer warranty then? also it will be a week or more before i receive my vehicle back. all i have to say is" this is ridiculous" they will not give me a loaner car while mine is being fixed and my vehicle wasn't that bad until the dealership received it. i feel they messed up my car and i should not have to pay for it when i have a manufacturer warranty. *tr

Just purchased a 2005 escape xlt a few weeks ago, and since day 1 the cd system inadvertantely fades in & out to the point where it loses all base and sounds like it's in a tunnel at times. this last for approximately 4-5 minutes and then the normal volume/sound returns, only for it to occur again a few minutes later. concern here is an electrical problem which could be causing other issues. have scheduled an appointment for examination.*ak
