2007 Ford Escape consumer reviews

its clean and reliable and comfortable no worries its a southern car with no rust . i'd go to california in this car today, needs nothing

This car met all of my needs, has plenty of leg room in front and back and has been very reliable and able to handle different terrains and weather.

We bought this car 5 years ago used with 44,000 miles, and now have reached 99,000 miles. We bought this based on on our experience with our 2001 Mazda Tribute (essentially same car and power train as Ford Escape). We bought our Tribute 10 years ago with 136,000 miles and now have 206,000 miles. No major mechanical issues with either car, other than routine stuff like brakes, batteries etc. Based on our history with the Tribute we expect to go over 200k with our escape. Both are still running strong. 4wheel drive is essential for Utah winter driving. Great reliability at a very reasonable price.

I have all service records for the approx. 4 years that I have owned this vehicle. It gets good gas mileage and has served me well while I have owned it.

Overall, it handles well and has no overt problems. The car was handed down to me at 95,000 miles. By 97,000 the engine started smelling of burning rubber and made weird coughing noises. It would occasionally lurch and make noises when accelerating on the road. A few weeks ago, the vehicle was upshifting from second to third gear and the RPM spiked about a thousand and the engine revved up loudly and the whole car lurched like a rough shift on a manual would feel like. Gas tank has rusted through and mass air flow filter cracked. Took it to two mechanic shops, they changed the injection I believe but it did very little. Pros however. The V6 is rather powerful, acceleration is good and it climbs well. It idles about as roughly as a truck with a larger engine. Very good power, just not the most reliable or comfortable.

paint started peeling at 26,000 miles, can't keep battery charged, alarm goes off when all the doors are locked,open door alarm goes on and off when driving down road. I've met 3 other people with the same problem.will never buy another ford again can't believe there's no recall on this car.

Purchased for my 16 year old to drive to/from school. Gets about 21mpg combined city/rural state route driving which is in line with what i was told. She LOVES driving it and i feel comfortable with her doing so.

This car is extremely comfortable and still drive well. It is reliable and I keep up on maintenance. It has USB ports and a multi disk CD player. Also, I love the sunroof.

Haven't yet had a car with a sunroof that doesn't end up leaking so there's that and because we bought it used the 6 disc CD player doesnt work and its ridiculous expensive to replace it so theres that....but overall it's a great car and it fits my family and all their junk so that's a plus!!!

Top heavy, will not corner, wheelbase is too narrow, highway speed transmission downshifts lurch. Constant repairs with 113,000 miles. Replaced - rear door switch to stop the alarm from going off, driver power window motor, front traction rods, now has interior exhaust fumes when defrost fan is on.
