What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford escape. On april 11, 2007, while driving 60 MPH on the freeway the contact applied the brakes to avoid crashing into a vehicle that stopped in front of her. The rear suspension failed without warning. However, the contact was able to maintain control of the vehicle. The service manager of lithia ford stated that this failure occurred when the brakes were applied at 60 MPH. A ford engineer provided related information. The contact was aware of the safety risk involved.
While driving my 2007 ford escape on a somewhat bumpy country road there was suddenly a loud clunking noise coming from the right rear. Upon inspection I observed the entire upper shock mount in the right rear had broken free from the body due to rust, causing the shock to ride freely into the interior compartment hitting the plastic panel. I am the original owner and the vehicle has 164k miles.
