Bottom inside of both rear wheel hubs, peeling and a lot of rust. Paint starting to lift on the outside of vehicle. It seems to be a real quality problem, either primer missing or low quality steel. Have rust proofed all my vehciles at least every other year and no issues with my 2004 Freestar and 2006 Fusion.
It seems to be occurring on all Escapes when Ford changed over the model year in 2008 up to to 2012. Recently visited local dealer and 6 of the 8 Escapes in the lot had this issue. The dealership I purchased the car from indicated that they have received reports, but notice of recalls. I contacted Ford 's Customer Service department 1-888-222-7814 and filed my issue. They transferred me to Ford Canada head quarters, 1-800-565-3673 and discuussed the issue. I understand the Corrosion Warranty is out of date. If we repair, will need to keep a receipt if case a recall is issued for reimbusrements.
