The answer is simple, NO chains should be used on a vehicle that does not have sufficient torque to maintain tire speed. On a front wheel drive model or even a 4 wheel drive, the tire size and type is a passenger vehicle tire. The fitment of the chains will not only beat up your fender wells but abrade the sidewalls of your tires and cause a blowout. In addition the weight of the chains and improper balance of the tires will wear out wheel bearings and strip driveshaft splines. Depending where you live, tire chains are illegal in most states anyways no matter what type of vehicle it is. Good all terrain/season tires and reduced speed are the safest bet. Cause let's face it. If its deep or icy enough for chains....probably need more capability than an escape anyways.

Why does my 2002 Ford Escape engine light comes on intermittently?
The ford escape is a very temperamental car to say the least. The light could be coming on for several reasons. The escape has many sensors that can short circuit and cause the light to go on. I recommend taking your car to autozone. They will test your car out for free and narrow the problem down. Then you can go from there. Fix it yourself or take it to a mechanic.
