| Toyota Rav 4 | 14Relevance | 5 years ago | Robert S | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty I was thinking about trading my 2018 Ford Escape for 2019/20/21 Rav4 not because there is anything wrong with my Escape but because of the Toyota reliability reputation. However, I looked up the Rav 4 of these years and it seems there is a massive amount of complaints about the transmission. Is it because it's the new 8 speed? Your thoughts?

| ... reducing strain somewhat. My step dad has a 2.0 EcoBoost Escape and it's done well for him. I had a 1.6L EcoBoost in a 2013 Fusion, it got great gas mileage on the highway but it really lacked power, granted the Fusion is much bigger than the Focus-based Escape. After driving his 2.0, I wanted that motor in my Fusion. | |||||

| Dan, in the US that generation of the Ford Escape OP is referring to (2013-2019 model year) never got the dual clutch transmission (that was the Focus and Fiesta here). Instead, the Escape came with the Ford 6-speed AT. | |||||

| Clunking when turning and now won't start! | 14Relevance | 5 years ago | fordgirl1970 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... always count on. In the last month, intermittently when I would turn a corner I would hear almost a metal "pop" in the steering column, just a single pop. I switched driving vehicles for a couple weeks, and the next time I went to start it, there was nothing. All the lights came on, but there was no crank, no noise, no nothing from turning the key. The lights didn't dim when I tried to crank, so I'm guessing not the battery or the starter. Are these symptoms related and what should I look for? Also a side question, I always try to do repairs myself by educa ... | |||||

| ... recalls related to the Takata airbags. That generation (2009-2013) had up to 9 airbag recalls, and you’d want those addressed before you buy (not something to mess around with, esp. with possibility of shrapnel being hurled when airbag inflated). See below: With the 2012 Ford Escape, it had issues with excessive rusting, AC not working, and transmission failure. | |||||

| With such crappy choices, I am guessing they are all dirt cheap, correct? The Ford Escape is just junky and really unsafe, a money pit, not economical at all, and won't be worth a penny resale after you buy it. The Chevy has to many miles for GM products, although the 90's chevy's had somewhat better quality. The sorento is made like such garbage and buying it after 16 years would be a big mistake because those things are supposed to be in the junk yard by now. Get an old honda crv; they aren't that expensive. You will only pay like 3k for an okay 2002-2006 ... | |||||

| Here is my opinion on them: The Blazer is junk, it might last a while but they aren't the best SUVs. Definitely wouldn't recommend anybody to buy them for any serious money. The Escape speaks for itself: The Sorento is subpar-OK. Not particularly good and can last 150k miles if cared for but still cheaply made. I wouldn't consider it unless you can get it <$3000. Whatever you decide to buy, make sure to have a mechanic check it out. Don't you have any other options. What is the price of the cars? Maybe we could help you find something better in ... | |||||

| Does it have to be brand new? And how long are they planning to keep? If they buy used (which I recommend) then they can also look at the Toyota, Honda, and the Mazda’s. For longevity those are your best options. The Escape and Kicks won’t hold up or last as long and they they will be back in the same boat looking again for a vehicle. Also, some versions of the Escape and Mazda CX-5 feature cylinder deactivation which has a higher propensity to wear out/damage the engine over time - I recommend staying away from those. | |||||

| Of the 3 vehicles you mentioned, Explorer, Escape, and Fusion, the Fusion has been announced as being discontinued. The 2020 Escape and Explorer have been announced as "completely redesigned" and unless otherwise announced, will be continued in production. From sources such as Consumer Reports and J.D. Powers, reliability is considered "average". | |||||
| Answer to: 3 cyl engines? | 14Relevance | 5 years ago | J_C | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Why trade in what you have with only 50K mi on it? Keeping it seems like the better option no matter what engine the new models have, unless it is rusting out. It should have at least another 100K mi left in it and if you only manage to put 50K on in FIFTEEN years, a new vehicle for same very light use scenario seems like even more of a waste of money. Frankly I'd rather have a brand new 2005 Escape made today, than a 2021, but you could split the difference and get a 2nd or 3rd gen used Escape without the funked up engines! | |||||

He is the type to never stop doing his own work, even if I get a plow. But I can at least start helping and give him the option to stop. I would never try it with my 2001 Ford Ranger, 2L 4cyl, manual, with 230K miles, even if the rear suspension didn't just rust out. My everyday driver is a 2017 Ford Escape w/ 2.0L turbo.
