My escape is a 2002, I just got it, I know your wondering why I got a car so old! This car is in pristine condition when I saw it, it was a no brainer I had to get it! Beautiful truck and aside from the fabric falling off the doors which I assume is some the glue being old problem or something but when I purchased the car the cd player did not work what so ever and the guys at the dealership did not let me know that. I must say I'm a little pissed about it! They put up some big hype about it being a "6 disc cd changer" when it doesn't work no point in having it! I know cause it is a little bit of an older car it just must be a glitch but it still grinds my gears cause I wanna listen to my cds damnit!! And I'm not dropping a bunch of money into a new cd player because I am soon getting rid of the escape and upgrading to an f150.I just wish there was just some quick fix for it for the time being! Ohh well! That's my rant and I'm done! :)

The CD player is completely jammed, it happened while I was trying to switch from Disc 1 ot Disc 2 in the six-cd changer. Now it won't change, play, eject or load CDs. It says "CD ERROR". I called my local Ford dealership and explained the problem, and the service manager told me I'd just have to get a new one - though after research, I've found this is a recurring problem that has plagued many another 2001-2003 Escape owner. It sounds like faulty equipment to me, and I don't intend to have a Ford dealership intall another six-cd changer that could equally be problematic.
