| Answer to: 1st gen Ford Escape | 54Relevance | 5 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| (This is the next generation but answers still apply, its basically the same reliability wise) They have particuarly horrible automatic transmissions. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy one. Otherwise they are OK. Definitely don't get the hybrid variants. FWIW, check out some of the carcomplaints data... "They’re definitely not as well made as a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V." Yeah, not even close. The only way I could recommend this car would be if its dirt cheap and a mechanic says the transmission is in good shape. I can't even imagine how many transmissions commerical ones in NYC have gone through... | |||||

| ... 200,000 miles on it. I purchased each when they had 108,000 miles. Only used either as a daily super-commuter (200 miles/weekday & leisure stuff for the last 100,000 miles. Only run Mobil-1/extended in the 2014 Escape 2.0L Ecoboost (change every 10k), for the last 90,000 miles. I ONLY run Ams-Oil in the 2003 Explorer-2dr with the Cologne 4.0L SOHC V6 (change every 20k with Ams-Oil EaO filter), for the last 90,000 miles.

| Those years had horrible automatic transmissions, other Toyotas from that time also had weak manual transmissions but not sure of the RAV4. You can find our thoughts on the Ford Escape, which I'm telling you right now isn't worth your time or money, here: | |||||

| Keep in mind in addition to engine repair costs in the future, you will have other issues to deal with including electrical and transmission issues. For that model year of the Escape, the top problem trend was transmission failure around 70,000 miles with average cost $4,500 to replace (hardly anyone can rebuild those anymore so you have to replace the whole unit). Plus additional money to troubleshoot electrical issues (not as bad as GM or FCA), also not Ford’s forte. Like I asked right below your post, if you plan to keep this vehicle for a long time and p ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2013 Ford Escape SE jerk when shifting | 34Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You really cannot trust anything a seller tells you. This is why a pre-purchase inspection by a good mechanic is a must when buying a used car. Unfortunately it appears those vehicles are prone to a number of serious problems, including transmission failure though engine problems top the list. By the description of your oil change it looks like that Escape has not been properly maintained which does not bode well. Problems with electric power steering also appear to be very common in Ford products. | |||||

| Answer to: 3 cyl engines? | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | AutoElectrical | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I took a trip in the EcoSport which is the smaller version of the Escape. I am a tall fat guy who needs room and I had plenty. The other part I liked about it is that car had a 2.0L natural aspiration engine. NO TURBO. The gas milage was stellar. I am going to look into buying one of these. Seriously that is MUCH better than the 3cyl Escape. Word to the wise. Go look at one and try it. But I AGREE with the average opinion here. 50K on you Escape? Drive it till its well over 100k or sell it as a private seller. If you trade it in they will export it. Wh ... | |||||
