We were on holiday going to Marineland and as I was driving up the hill with the whole family and our camping gear the truck lost power and by the time I reached the top of the hill i was going 60 km/h and cars were honking behind me. I limped the truck to the for dealer were they took me right away and told me the catalytic converter is clogged. I had to rent a car to complete the holiday on my own dime, the dealership gave me a special rate because they had a built in budget rental company in house.

Escape XL V6
In The month of April 2009 I kept hearing a loud roaring sound, I took it to Ford for a test drive because no engine light was on, the mechanic stated that it sound like my Catalytic converter, so I took it to a shop who stated that I had three that was going bad. I never take it to Ford they are too high and over priced. The other other shop stated it will cost over 1800, I was unable to afford three, so he repair the cheapest one in the front of the car I think that cost 250, again Ford Escape is a mess , DO not buy any cars from them.
