this exactly my point when on my first post. Ford escape is a good brand BUT yung after service nya sucks. I am a Honda Owner dati and never ako nagka problem.. but yung ford Casa Service medyo palpak. para ako bumibili ng 2nd hand o 10 yr old na kotse sa sakit ng ulo.
ito lang naman ang experience ko. pero kung may iba dyan who are happy sa service.. well, am happy for u BUT may ilang dyan na naka kuha ng palpak na Casa service from ford

October 30th, 2010 01:06 AM #43palpak talaga service ng ford global. nabannga yung escape ko and had to change both bumpers. after repaint binalik sa akin puro oversray form roof to rims, pati windshield magaspang. nireklamo ko sabi i buff daw nila. pagbalik sa akin gabi na so uwi na ako agad. in the morning, hood lang ang na buff. pinagawa ko na sa iba dahil wala na ako kompyansa. then i noticed na wala sa alignment yung bumper and hood. parang medyo tabingi yung bumper when in line sa hood. binalik ko sa kanila para ma align yung bumper. nung binalik panatay na pero the next day pansin ko pag tap sa hood maingay... kasi tumatama yung pangtayo ng hood pag nakasara... ang ginawa pala nila para ma align is not to remove the bumper but to adjust the height ng hood!!! hayop talaga ang ford global especially sa body and paint section... ingat kayo

November 1st, 2010 07:58 AM #46The escape is not worth it. Terrible Workmanship on the car, Terrible Quality of materials installed and even Terrible Servicing by the dealership. Below is a portion of the letter I recently gave ford-
"I am confirming my sincerest wish to return the 2009 Ford Escape which I bought from FORD CDO Dealership. The vehicle stalled a few kilometers away from the dealership (Jetti Bulua), right after the 40,000km preventive maintenance. The Check Engine Sign went on, the Overdrive On/Off was constantly blinking, the engine was shaking and the car would only run at a snail pace speed. Upon return to the dealership and after the diagnostics were performed, I was advised to leave the car for further examination. The car would remain with the dealership over the weekend and until the 2nd of November. This confirms my suspicion that Ford Motor Philippines delivered to me a defective unit. Note that I lost two half-days due to this incident. The first was in bring the car to the dealership, the second was in picking it up. Please understand that I live 88 kilometers from the dealership.
If you would kindly check your records, you would find the following:
1. Right After the first 5,000 km preventive maintenance, the ford escape stalled in the middle of the dark and isolated portion of the Iligan-Cagayan National highway, more in particular within the municipality of Libertad. After being rescued by your predecessor, Raymund Mirabueno, your dealership discovered that the vehicle had a defective Throttle Sensor. I expressed mu desire to return the unit, but gave Ford another shot at it owing to the fine service the dealership gave me. I accepted the vehicle with the condition that should it have a major breakdown again, I would gladly return the unit.
2. Sometime June 2009, the hinge of the center console box gave way and ruined the console box mechanism and plastic levers. I demanded replacement and was serviced quite well. As this was a non-critical component, I soldiered on with the vehicle. This incident however imprinted in my mind the poor quality of materials used and the poor workmanship that must have been done on the vehicle.
3. On my 35,000km preventive maintenance, I could rightfully remember I was billed for tire and battery inspection. After leaving the dealership I noticed the vehicle to be swerving on one side. As it was already late in the afternoon and I had to rush home, I soldiered on an 88 km trip to our home in Iligan City. A few days later, one of our drivers informed me that the steel belt on one of the tires have sprouted out and that the tires already had lumps, owing to the fact they were heavily worn out. I caused the all tires to be replaced and guess what- the swerve disappeared.
A few days after the tire change, while picking up my wife and groceries from Gaisano Mall-Iligan, the vehicle refused to start. Ford-CDO sought to rescue but one of my drivers came first and told me to just replace the batteries as they are simply dead. I do understand the tires and batteries are consumables and should not be charged to the workmanship of the vehicle. However I could charge it on the dealership who failed me.
planning to keep it for 15yrs just done 10,000 km already replaced the transfer case fluid w/...
