CarComplaints.com Notes: With solid trends of engine failure — $4,500 to fix at 85,000 miles avg — AND transmission failure — $3,000 to fix at 75,000 miles avg — we can't recommend the 2006 Ford Escape to anyone except your worst enemy.
Tires would not hold air for very long. Issue was found to be leaking air from the rims due to high levels of corrosion. Dealer was mounting new tires, so they took a process to grind off the corrosion and perform a 'resealing' of the rim. Improved the the 4 wheels' ability to hold air pressure. Still leaks slowly, but not nearly as bad.
