I said I would report any issues I’ve had with this car when I purchased it in January. FYI it’s a 2021 Ford Escape SEL with 2.0T and AWS.
Ive been very pleased with it up until about a month ago at 4000 miles when the rear end started shuttering while turning at low speeds. It gradually got worse, so I scheduled an appointment with dealer.
After waiting 2 weeks for a time slot, I took it to the dealer today with 5000 miles for them to look at it. I got a call this afternoon to come pick it up.
There is a service bulletin about contaminated diff fluid but they can’t change it because the one-time use drain and fill plugs are on back order!
Meanwhile I’m supposed to drive around with bad diff fluid doing more damage to it with no guarantee of anything other than a fresh fluid change some day when the drain plugs come in! Very frustrating.
