| It is basically a Ford Escape. The good thing is you got one with manual transmission which is much better than their automatic (the weak point of Escape), so you don't need to worry about it. Have your mechanic checked the car before purchase? | |||||
| Answer to: 2009 Pontiac G6 a good buy ? | 14Relevance | 4 years ago | Mod_Man | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I drove an absolute ton of G6's during my GM days. They had fleets of them for employees to use on business trips. They are ok little cars at first, but the cheap quality starts to show up with time. I never drove one with 100k+ miles that didn't leave me shaking my head over some issue with it. I would avoid it honestly. Many other good options out there for a car like that. And everyone I've ever known who had an Escape...couldn't wait to "escape" their ownership of it. I wouldn't recommend either. | |||||
| Answer to: Coolant leak | 14Relevance | 3 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| No problem. Unfortunately those are not the greatest vehicles around. Hopefully it will be OK for a while after the coolant leak is dealt with. ($500 sounds like a ripoff to replace a coolant outlet but I don't know how big a job it is.) The worst problem with those Escapes is the transmission, as apparently your folks found out, so you'll want to baby the thing. Better yet get the coolant leak fixed and then if at all possible dump the stupid thing while it's running OK before something else goes wrong with it. | |||||

| Check Fuel Cap light | 14Relevance | 3 years ago | rwall10597 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty - We've got a 2002 Escape with 219K miles and a 2006 Odyssey with 255K. We've had them both since they were new, and both are in remarkably good shape. We've never gotten a Check Fuel Cap light on either vehicle with the exception of one time a few years ago when I drove the Escape home after getting gas with the cap dangling. I cleared the code, that was a non issue. Two weeks ago we drove both vehicles to rural South Carolina, spent the weekend there, then left to drive home 30 minutes apart. In the morning, the Check Fuel Cap light was on in b ... | |||||

| Im trying to find out what it is so I can fix it. I just did struts, Powe steering pump, stabilizing bars etc in my Escape. I can work on cars. I will check it tomorrow, was just wondering if anyone had this issue. FWIW - My 4x4 Escape had a clunking noise that annoyed the heck out of me., check everywhere and nobody suggested to check the pinch bolt. Heres the kicker, I has someone do the control arms so I did not suspect it until I tried tightening it and it kept spinning, the nut was stripped. Got another bold/nut and tightened it. The noise didnt totall ... | |||||

| Hi Scotty, The name is Josh from Montreal, I've got a (2010 Automatic 4-cylinder 6-speed FWD) Ford Escape. It's got about 230,000kms on it and some wear and tear along, such as needing new ties rods in front of the car along with the usual ford problems from that generation of Escape (back wiper motor is toast, a/c fan resistor or motor, rusted out trunk). The car was warming up for a few minutes in the driveway when I returned there was a terrible burning smell so I shut off the vehicle. There was no smoke that I can remember, but afterwards the car wou ... | |||||

| I tend to agree between those three choices. RAV4 > Escape >>> Explorer. Assuming it all checks out. IMHO, the Ford Escapes between 2001–2011 were probably the better Escapes. It was built in collaboration with Mazda, and depending how you look at it, the Escape is a rebadged Mazda, or the Tribute is a rebadged Ford. But I still prefer the RAV4. | |||||

| Between those three, I'd go with the Rav4. The Ford Escape in those years were decent, my aunt got over 250k out of her 2010 and it's still going. She's had it since new and does all maintenance on the nose. The Toyota will well outlast the Escape if it was maintained. Have a mechanic check the car out that you want to buy. The Mountaineer is an upscale Ford Explorer, with either a V6 or V8, they didn't have 4 cylinder models. It probably will have similar issues to the Explorers sooner or later, they got the nickname Ford Exploder for a reason. | |||||

| ... 7. The only YouTube video I found on OBD pin 7 was on an Audi A3 with an issue on pin 7 (K line) as well because of a damaged wire. With key off & dongle off the OBD port, there was 0 V on pin 7. Out of curiosity, I did the same test on a 2001 Ford Escape with 4WABS, & pin 7 read 3.9 V & it was able to do ABS brake bleeding. Is the Ranger supposed to have the same voltage reading on pin 7 even though it was RABS? I had tested an Xtool A30M to do ABS brake bleeding & it only worked on the Escape as well. I was able to return the Xtool, get a ... | |||||

It started acting up a month after he bought it. The VIN was clean, except we noticed it was a rental car in Chicago. It was a flooded out car in a huge rainstorm they had and the dealership in Ohio didn't want to refund the money. Lucky for him, when the financing bank found out it was a flood vehicle, they took their money back. He bought the rental Escape he was driving. Now y ... | |||||

| Hi scotty. I've been watching your channel for many years now and i love it... I've never asked you a question before but here it is. I have a 2012 Escape V6 with an automatic transmission and i use it only 6 months a year. The Escape only has 60,000 miles on it. I store it in a garage with a battery tender when i am not using the car. I was thinking it is time for a tune up, changing the plugs, plug wires and coil. Should i use original parts from the ford dealer or is it ok to use after market parts for the job. I've heard that even ford ... | |||||

| ... of charging cycles to them, so their may be life left in the battery. If it were a Toyota hybrid, and the price were cheap, I’d say jump on it. There is a market for aftermarket new or refurbished batteries. And Toyota hybrids seem to last a long time, even taking into account battery changes. With that said, it is a Ford, and not as popular as the Toyota. The Ford hybrid is okay. Not as great as Toyota, but not absolutely horrible. I actually think the Escape chassis was built pretty strong. My only concern would be the aftermarket for a Ford Escape ba ... | |||||
