Great SUV for all types of drivers

I am able to do so many things with this vehicle. Great on the highway or off road. This was a great purchase. Thanks for doing the legwork and preparing the vehicle for its next owner, me.

Good Second car , student car , runabout, dog car

Bought a 2011 Escape 2 yrs old with 15K, now 65K miles. 2 issues , 1) stuck throttle body (10% methanol Texas gas) , 2) was A/C failed to hold gas , was a $400 fix. Still have 3 of 4 OEM Michelins to replace soon. replaced battery once, Oil and filters and that's it. Basic car easy to work on, has bluetooth. Like boxy retro shape vs new. Light steering, FWD , V6 has some highway punch. Careful on the corners as it has a narrow track width but FWD. Depreciated from 28K to 6K in 6 years (Ford) .

many Issues after the 100k miles.

My car had the recall and Ford did not cover it because my vin number didn’t fall under. Steering wheel is stiff, it went into manual mode. Repair cost $3400 at the dealership.

Just got it. Drive wonderfully after 150 mile trip

We needed to replace our 2004 Honda accord and wanted a car that handled the weather in upstate New York better. So far its met our expectations and more.

Best Care I've Own

I have this car since out of the dealer, basic maintenance, use the Gas that's recommended and no problem. 8 years with me 120K miles, still going strong. Roads here in Puerto Rico are a disaster and after 110k miles changed for the first time the Shocks, plates, bushing and links. No problem with the engine or the Transmission. Planning to keep it for a long time.

I love my vehicle, but have to sell it!

This is a nice car. It is very dependable and gets good gas mileage. It looks great overall, a few minor dents and dings but has a clean report and doesn't effect the looks.

My First Car.

This vehicle is everything I was hoping for. Not just to get me from place to place, but to do it quickly, reliably, and comfortably.

Ford tuff

I have this Escape for 4 yrs had 13,488 miles when i bought it. Now has 256, 334 started needing stuff at 200,000 a/c compressor, condensor than fans radiator parts just not made to last that long. So its a great car got my moneys worth. Still in great shape cheaper to fix than buy a new car.
