| Answer to: Ford Escape 2013 flex plate cracking | 13Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Those possible engine and torque converter problems are both very serious issues, as is a loud knocking at idle. If you do ignore what's happening and keep driving, the vehicle is going to keep having problems until you wind up with a catastrophic failure of the engine, the transmission, or both. Note that model is prone to a variety of engine and transmission problems: | |||||
| 2012 Ford Escape V6 multiple misfires | 13Relevance | 2 years ago | qtanyam | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I was in an accident last year and had to buy a 2012 Ford Escape blindly. unfortunately my body was so messed up I didn't think I traveled as far as I did without an oil change. anyways after the car started making noises I tested it and it had many codes pop up and the oil was empty pretty much. P0300, P0304, P0305, P0306, P001, P00018,and P00021. I'm still kinda broken and so are my pockets. I did change the oil and there wasn't any metal scraps but it also didn't help. I saw the water pump belt is frayed as well but I'm wondering if I ruined the vehicle b ... | |||||
| Answer to: Ford 2012 Escape 3.0 V6 rattle | 13Relevance | 2 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| To my knowledge Scotty no longer does heavy or deeply involved repairs any more, but only he can definitively answer that one. Dealers are typically the worst place to bring a car for anything except recalls and warranty repairs. A good independent mechanic would be the best choice. You might also try using a mechanic's stethoscope to locate the source of the engine noise. I wouldn't necessarily expect one of those to make it to 180K miles under the best of circumstances due to a number of possible problems, some other than the engine. However it certainly won't get that far if the camshafts work loose. | |||||
| Ford 2012 Escape 3.0 V6 rattle | 13Relevance | 2 years ago | TomMcDonald | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I have a Ford Escape 4-door 3.0 V6 Automatic 4wd (not turbo) with 95k miles and an engine rattle at idle and when revving the engine. Car gets 17.9 mpg but used to get 20mpg. I have seen videos saying the only problem with this engine is the Cam-hold-downs which have screws that loosen at over 100k miles. Fix is a 10 hour labor charge for retightening of cam hold-downs and possible screw replacements and other parts. 1) I live in Knoxville, Tennessee... do you do this kind of work? 2) Should I take it to the dealer and get the cam-hold-downs checked? ... | |||||

| AGM battery for a 2016 Ford Escape SE | 13Relevance | 2 years ago | alexbaz | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Would you please help me with a battery choice dilemma. Would an AGM battery be fully charged by BMS on a 2016 Ford Escape SE 2.0L Ecoboost? The car has the original flooded battery and after eight years, it may be time as a precaution to replace it with a battery more suited for the long Wisconsin winters. Your advice will mean a lot. Thank you. | |||||
| 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid Battery check | 13Relevance | 2 years ago | john1six | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I have enjoyed your video's now for years. Question: I have a 2006 Ford Escape hybrid. Auto transmission, 170,000 miles. I've owned this car for 14 years and it has been overall a great car. The problem has been with the hybrid battery, it first went bad after being ten years old, yes right out of warranty. Ford wanted $12,000 for a battery, which is what we paid for the car, so we opted for a rebuilt battery for $2600 which lasted about four years. We are now on the second rebuilt battery which is now about six months old and still under the on ... | |||||

| My aunt bought a brand new Escape a year older than that. She paid cash for it, because she drove for a living. I think she's close to retirement now. She was putting probably 25-30k miles a year on that car. She drove mainly on highways and country roads, though. | |||||

| Hi, Looking at a 2012 Escape with 105k miles. 6 cyl auto, VIN 1FMCU0DG5CKA99122. As Scotty's said before, you don't know about any accidents or major repairs just by the car check report. It's really scratched up in the cargo area, wondering if there's anything that can make it look better. Owner must have used it for hauling stuff. If the car checks out otherwise, thinking about asking for a lower price because of the condition of the back. Thanks. | |||||
