I just bought a used 2017 Ford Escape (33, 000 miles) from a dealer in Washington State. Two things have happened in the 2nd month of ownership. One of the skid plates on the bottom fell off and the paint around the front windshield has started to flake off. The dealer shrugged their shoulders about the skid plate and told me I must have been 4 wheeling (it happend on I-5) and now they wont call me back about the paint issue. This is my fourth Ford. I wont buy another one but I think a smart lawyer might start a class action lawsuit about this.
