| cylinder 1 misfire | 14Relevance | 1 year ago | help_me_plz | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, should i repair it again or cut my losses? my Escape is throwing a cylinder 1 misfire. I think it was the same cylinder that had the misfire when I had to rebuild the cylinder head because one of the valves werent closing. I paid $2k back in 2020 for that repair. I worked without any issues until now. I could replace the spark plugs and ignition coils, but I am afraid that would be wasting money since that is not the root cause I believe. Thank you for your help! Ford Escape 2009 with 130K miles | |||||

| Power steering failure is common on those vehicles, right behind engine and transmission problems: You can check electrical connections for problems but chances are you need a new steering rack. Likely worn suspension and/or steering components. | |||||

| Hello from Texas. I have 2 vehicles. One a 2012 Mazda3, hatchback. Runs great, roof paint looking rough, gets 36 mph. Second is a 2011 Ford Escape, 4 cylinder, stick shift! Not sure of it's mpg, but it is less than 36. Insurance for the Escape is less than the Mazda. The Ford is in very good shape. No coat issues. I like both, but probably don't need both, and need to decide which is the better to hold on to. One thing I know is the Ford, being stick, will be a harder sell. Vehicle is used to commute to job, 45 minute drive one way. | |||||
| Answer to: Is the 2008-2012 Ford Escapes reliable? | 14Relevance | 2 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| When they were brand new, they were okay. My aunt bought a then brand-new 2010 Escape. She was a social worker and she drove for a living. She's retired now, and she still has that Escape. The dealership maintains it, including transmission fluid. She lives in a small town, though. 15+ years into that vehicle's life on the other hand, pass. You don't know any of the vehicle's maintenance history. | |||||

| I agree with @chucktobias, "dealer certified" isn't worth the paper it's printed on. My step dad bought a 2016 Ford Escape "certified pre-owned", it had gouge marks on the passenger rear bench and there were a bunch of air fresheners on the rear view mirror. A month later, while my mom was driving the car, it suddenly lurched and a check transmission message came on. Long story short, it was a flooded out fleet vehicle with its own insurance company, that's why it didn't turn up in a CarFax. The bank took their money back and he got into another Escape that ... | |||||

| Make sure you have an extra $5k in your pocket for when the transmission blows. (and good life insurance policy, because it will come to SCREECHING halt) I wouldn't touch it with a 20 ft pole. | |||||

| @NateDavis808 It could be any number of things, including a vacuum leak. I have a 2010 V6 4.0L Mustang with ~140,000 miles. I had rough idle, borderline stalling, and simply replace the spark plugs and ran a few a few tanks of gas with fuel injector cleaner. I also found a cracked spark plug on one of the cylinders. With a Ford, I recommend you look at Windows ODBII software and a Forscan compatible OBDI II scanner for $60. It will allow you to read all the raw engine data to help isolate the problem more precisely. The extended license will allow you to run service functions and reprogramming new/used electronic modules. You can use the free extended license for 2 months, or buy the one year extended license for $12. I bought a used ABS module off evilBay and took it to a ASE certified shop to have installed on a different Ford. The ASE certified shop could not reprogram the ABS control module to the vehicle. I used Forscan to reprogram the used ABS module using the as-built configuration information Ford makes publicly available. You can read about it here. | |||||

| ... means nothing. My step dad bought an Escape 8 years ago, "dealer certified" that it wasn't in an accident or flooded out. Long story short, it was a rental agency's former car and they had their own insurance. They didn't report it, and the car was flooded out. Around month after he bought it, my mom was driving and it flashed "trans program". My mom got whiplash from it. They tried to put a new transmission in, my step dad wouldn't let them, he wanted another Escape that wasn't flooded instead of that one. Then, the finance company got wind that it was a f ... | |||||

| ... I'm not sure if your Escape has GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) or ordinary port fuel injectors (depends on whether or not you have an EcoBoost engine). If it's ordinary fuel injection, rather than recalling them and putting new, properly designed fuel injectors in, they've recalled them to put some dumb thing in that detects fuel leakage, as if that's good enough. Rather than driving around an unknowingly primed molotov cocktail, now they alert you. Ford's Maverick and Escape were caught up in that recall. I'm honestly surprised they got out of replacing ... | |||||
