I went to trade in my car and was informed that frame behind front driver side is almost rusted through. Meaning the body could detach from frame or something else dangerous could happen. This is my only car and now I'm afraid to drive it.

What 2009 Ford Escape owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Rear shock mount rusted out and is destroying the inside of my trunk. Now is hanging loose.
I change my brakes twice in not even a full month My alternator belt came off I replaced it when I put it in park it rolls it shakes and it takes a minute to go faster once I go 40 mph the acceleration pedal vibrates tire pressure sensor stays on and also it keep saying check fuel tank injector
I started to hear a grinding and cracking and popping sound I checked the vehicle and the front left ball joint is bad there is an obvious crack in the joint that is easily visible when inspecting the area of the front left wheel and it’s components
Front wheel bearing
When I accelerate my wheel feels like it's slipping and grinding and when I apply the brakes hard they seem to not want to stop keeping my ABS on I feel the grinding and brake issue coming from the front wheel. When I step on the gas the front wheel hops and doesn't get traction wants to constantly slip and when I stop in snow the brakes lock up in front and ABS stays on for a bit might be gear drive or bearing it's getting bad. This happens when I have to give a lot of gas to go and the ABS when I need to really stop. This started a couple months after I financed it through genthe chevrolet but I work many hours and it has to be fixed before I end up stranded or in an accident. When I first test drove it it was acting up I told the salesman dave teska he told me it was fixed but he must of doped it like the interior it looked new when I bought it now it has stain spots and looks dirty I found out it was a ford fabric problem and they can't do anything. I'll never buy another vehicle again from genthe.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 ford escape. While operating the vehicle, the low air valve sensor indicator illuminated, indicating that one of the tires experienced low air pressure. Moments later, the steering wheel became very difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (jones ford, 2410 ocean hwy 17 south, supply, nc) where it was diagnosed that the steering pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 154,000. *tt
Lee auto sales lied to me. They said nothing is wrong with the vehicle. After purchasing the vehicle I found a bunch of defects.
While driving the steering wheel gets stuck as if I'm out of power steering fluid, which it's not. Also, the wheels are shaky and feel like their about to come off. Someone hit my vehicle and it completely went out. Now I'm paying for a rental until gets fixed and I'm paying for the repairs instead of the company.
Hoy en la maana cambi la rueda de repuesto y resulta que la gata se aisl, cay, ventajosamente no estuve bajo el vehiculo, la gata no sirve ahora, pude haber muerto a causa de esta falla de fabrica del artefacto. Terrible el problema , exijo una solucion.
