I bought a ford escape from the Flamingo Car Group back in June 2007, I am active duty Marine and my credit was bad, I was mislead about the car I was buying and I have put so much money into fixing my car. Now I can't sell it and can't afford to get another car. I can't believe how some people will take advantage of military personel like that. I NEED details on how to sue the company to get my money back.

I bought a Ford Escape used with about50, 000 four years ago. I'm have about 13 months left in payments. Here is just a short list.
1) Honeycomb grill: It is all plastic and held in place by two little screws. The grill broke at the screw location after having for 5 months. I bought and install a new one that only lasted a couple of months when it broke in the same place. It is now held in place by bale wire.
2) Air bag light. Had the Escape less than 90 days. Air bag light came on. Took back to the dealer where I bought(30 miles away, special trip) was told they couldn't do anything for and it would be two weeks before they could get someone to look at it. I was told that as long as that light is on the air bags would not deploy on impact.
3) Exhaust Manifold: It cracked leaving me with an exhaust that would not pass the state inspection. Upon trying to fix it I was told I would have to order one though Ford for over $500.00 with my VIN number because something about every Escape is different just enough where I could not go savage with this part. Think goodness I was able to get it welded cause I could not afford to have one ordered.
4) The door handles: It started with the back driver door, just stopping opening. Now the driver door stopped opening. A stop at the local auto part store I'm told I'll have to go to the dealer or salvage for that part. I'm just starting that process, but in the mean time I do have the panel off my driver door so I can reach inside the door and flip a little metal piece up so my door will open.
5) Window: Just starting this week, I have a window that is not going up by press the buttons. Surprise Surprise!!!
6) The 6 CD radio. The CD part just reads error. It will not eject the 5 CD in the radio. It will not play any of the CDs. But the real kicker is I'm told I have to have a "special" tool to take the radio out to get my CDs out.
7) Just the radio part. It might come on when I start the car it might not.
Husband had a Ford F-150. Between the two Ford we will not buy Ford again. So much for the Ford tough slogan.
