Ford's excuse that the muffler has "weep holes" designed in to let condensation out is pretty lame. Since the 1970's when mufflers were a frequently replaced item, I haven't had to replace any on my Ford Tauruses, Chevy Impala, Chevy Astro vans, Kia Sedona, or Toyota Prius.
Perhaps Ford has gone cheap on materials and no longer wants to sell cars with quality components. I don't accept leaking oil on my garage floor or public roads and neither should I expect to put up with dripping black sooty water?
Had I known the Ford Escape muffler had the weeping holes design feature I honestly would not have bought this car!
