Escape Issues
Hey Everyone......just bought a 2009 Escape for the family today and i know every vehicle has its quirks.....anything i should keep my eyes on or fix right away....
I'm thinking like the brake dust issues on F-150's and breaking spark plugs of the last gen. F-150's....i'd rather fix the stuff right away than wait till later

Some of so-called issues were cases of just not reading the owner's manual word for word.
Throttle vibration is the AdvanceTrac resetting itself.
A low moan/grone after leaving a stop hardly heard if the radio is ON is the ABS system testing the HCU pump. That was in the shop manual I think.
Having a problem inserting the ignition key at times, me and somebody else had this problem. Not being able to turn it and I've ran into this more times already than I ever did on my '97 Ranger! Someone replied to my post that I should use the parking brake at all times like the owner's manual states! I asked for a explaination on that one too.
