Dealership failed to notify me of current vehicle recalls regarding my 2003 Ford Escape limited, failed to identify mechanical problems during scheduled maintenance (oil change) as recommended by the Ford Motor Company, which states its technicians perform a "multi-point inspection" "with the most up-to-date training" which led to subsequent engine failure (locked-up).
I bought a 2003 Ford Escape in November 2002 and I have experienced a lot of problems with my SUV over 5 times. Right now, my SUV is in the shop for a coolant system replacement and a radio replacement. My radio was replaced twice this year already. My SUV wouldn't start twice this year. I believe I have driven a loaner car at least 5 times since Nov 2003. I am not happy with my SUV. I feel it is a lemon. It has been a problem for me since day one.
