2006 Ford Escape wheels problems

Filed Mar 23, 2024 · Body, Suspension · WV

Both rear shocks, mounts, wheel wells, entire length of body door panels passenger seats are just absolutely rusted beyond repair. I've gone to a couple different shops and each one said that there is nothing they can do to fix the issue. Now the vehicle when ridden in just bounces horribly wearing out bearing springs and tires are being worn out. There is only 110759 miles on it and bought this for my wife/ kids cause I've had 3 other escapes in the past so since I work on the road this is prefect sized for then not to big or too small. I've had so many issues this last year with repairs parts and now worried about safety issues.

The rear shock mount rusts out not long after manufacture and we the consumer are left with the pile of poop. Ford is highly aware of this problem, and as I transport my children daily I wonder if this will be the day we die. Upon the shock mount rusting out, hope youre religious and god is your co pilot because as that point the spring is what you're left with! Its so horse [xxx] ford leaves this to the little guy (the consumers) to rectify their problem due to their inferior manufacturing. I was going over the i280 bridge in oregon ohio when it decided it was time to fail. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

On my 2006 ford escape I almost died on highway because the subframe on passenger side of the ford broke. Upon looking up information I noticed that their was a recall for ford escapes 00 _04 but that escape is the same frame and structure. I never owned a car that the frame was suppose to brake like that. I hope nobody ever gets hurt but this.problem should be addresses because that car is very popular.

When driving I started noticing a loud banging sound starting when driving over small bumps in the road. In taking the vehicle to the local ford dealer repair shop for an oil change we had them check out the sound that I heard. They pointed out the right, passenger side rear wheel well. At this time we were told the repair was not an immediate repair that was needed but would need to be repaired. We planned to wait until the local roads were repaired from the pot holes developed through winter. A month and a half later, on march 20, 2015 the sound had become extremely worse and I feared for my safety. We took it to a repair shop and they stated the vehicle was no longer safe to drive. The right side rear wheel well had rusted through and the suspension is barely attached to the vehicle. In researching online this is a prevalent problem through several year models not just the 2005. When I called the ford customer service hotline I was told ford was unaware and that they did not know this was a safety problem despite the numerous listings of people online saying they have reported the same kind of issues.

While driving I heard a loud noise then shortly after heard something rubbing then very shortly after my left rear tire blew out. I stopped to look and it looks like the area where the rear strut attached to the body completely rusted away. The car is most likely not repairable.

The right rear wheel well of my 2006 ford escape has rusted completely away, where you can see into the inside of the car from the outside. It is causing a constant rattling and a horrible clunking noise every time I go over a bump.checking online, I see that this has been a problem for some time now and the shock has completely separated from the vehicle. Ford has always been a company to stand behind their vehicles, so I imagine it will only be a matter of time before a recall is issued, but someone needs to do something about this now before there are fatalities involved.

My right wheel well has rusted out completely and the inside compartment is now open to the outside. There is a terrible, constant rattling noise and a horrible clunking noise every time I go over a bump.
