What owners wrote
I own a 2006 ford escape xlt . I am having a problem with the rims, not the tires. It seems that on every single rim, the paint on the rim is bubbling up. All 4 rims have bubbling all in the same exact spots.the paint bubbling is forming in the center of the rim, right around the ford center cap. Under the bubbling, it appears that rust is forming. This is a 2006 ford escape with only 46,000 miles on it. It is only 3 yrs old. I have no idea if it is due to the ny weather. I have contacted my ford dealership.
My back wheel well housing has rusted away on my escape 2006 I have been waiting two months for ford to send the part they raised the price from 160 dollars to 707 dollars in those two months how can they do that when the part was faulty to begin with why is the government not protected the consumer from this type of fraud from ford.
