2004 Ford Escape consumer reviews

We purchased our 2004 Ford Escape in November of 2010 and we love it ! It is great in the snow even though ours is FWD . Ours is the XLT model and it is nicely equipped with a 6 disk cd player and a moon/sun roof ! We also have the 201 HP 3.0 V6 . It has a lot of pep in its step and has great passing power on the highway ! It is very comforatable with the cloth seats . It heats up very fast on cold winter mornings too . The only complaint is that the steering wheel doenst tilt up enough even in the highest position . But overall it is a Fantastic car !

Bought this car new in 2004 and have been thrilled with it from day one. I have the 6 cyl which is not the best on gas, but it gives you that pep that I want when I'm driving on the highways. I've been thinking about a new car for a while now, but it always comes back to I can't bring myself to get rid of the Escape.

i've owned this car now for four years! NO PROBLEMS!!!! Great on GAS MILEAGE! I used to drive this car 50 miles to school and back 100 miles a day for a week i'd only have to fill the tank twice a week and it's GREAT IN THE SNOW!!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

I'v really enjoyed my Escape the past few years! I've had no problems with it and it has always offered great gas mileage. It's one the best small SUV's available, with plenty of room to carry all of my stuff. Very satisfied with my purchase of this car.

Just purchased my Escape 6 days a ago and 2 things went wrong, oil pressure sensor (no big deal $100) The next day on my way to work in Chicago weather 20 degrees and snow the Escape stalls as I am slowing down going around a corner. After further research I find that this was a big problem that created a recall for 2001-2003 but not 2004.I was pretty upset when this happened. still not sure if the suggested reprogramming of the Powertrain Control Module will fix the problem as the recall did for the 2001-2003, I have my fingers crossed.

The 6 cylinder is peppy but not great on mileage 18 city 24 country. It handles beautifully and the visibility for the driver is the best of any car I have owned. Short wheelbase allows great maneuverability in the city and parking lots. It drives like a sports car. You sit higher than the average and can see over sedans when in traffic. Lots of storage space with the back seats down.

i just love this car. i think it is the most safest car out thier. i just got into a bad accident involving a motorcycle, and the motorcycle came into my windshield, it saved my life because the windshield did not shatter.

Great fuel economy. Wonderful value! 100,000 miles and no problems, original brakes and tires and 24 mpg, hard to beat.

This is my big purchase vehicle and it has a great bang for the buck. I love all the features, except I wish the back seats would fold flat without having to take out the head rests. It's great for hauling and without the 4 wheel drive it still drives great in the snow.

2004 with 22000 miles when I Bought it. Now has 33000 and it's a gem. Put nitrogen in the tires and now get about 24-26mpg. Nice.
