I HAVE A 2006 ESCAPE HYBRID AND HAVE HAD TWO VALVE STEM FAILURES WHICH CAUSED SLOW TIRE LEAKS. I THINK FORD SHOULD RECALL MY VEHICLE AND REPLACE ALL THE VALVE STEMS AS THEY MAY FAIL WHEN I'M OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO ONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. *TR
THE TIRES ARE WEARING UNEVENLY. THE SHOP THAT DOES THE WORK ON MY SUV SAYS THE TIRES ARE THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE SEE IT BEFORE ON OTHER ESCAPE SUVS. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND MAKES A THUMPING NOISE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE TREAD DROPPING. THE MANUFACTURER WILL ONLY COVER 75% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL CONTITRAC BSW AND THE CORRECT TIRE SIZE IS P2357016. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 18,387 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,189. UPDATED 02-01-08. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED TIRE TREND HITTING THE GROUND AND 1/3" NOT TOUCHING GROUND ON THE INSIDE OF TIRE. UPDATED 02/01/08 *TR
