What owners wrote

I bought the car march 20th brand new. On april 14th I was driving it home and the engine stopped working. All warning lights were flashing and the car just stopped working in the middle of the road. I could not get it started and when I finally did it wouldn't move and I could not shut it off. This went on for 2 and a half hours. I finally got it home (driven by my husband) and the next morning (monday) we got it towed to ford dealer.

2019 ford escape titanium steering wheel shakes/vibrates heavy & makes a loud noise from car (almost sounds like a bad loud muffler sound) at speeds of 35 MPH & 45MPH when the gas peddle is leveled at speed and also does the same when going up an incline at the same speeds. Also transmission slips between 1 & 2 gears intermittently. Very bumpy ride in the back when going 70 MPH on the highway. These issues happen when on local roads & highway ramps. Dealer repair has checked several times.
