Will never buy another Ford

My 2011 Escape has been garage kept since I brought it home new from the dealer at the end of 2010. Both rear wheel wells started rusting out in year five. Then a fuel vapor lock, air conditioning, idle pulley, exhaust system replaced and now an exhaust leak is causing a miss fire. Who has the $$$ left to fix that?? Will never buy another Ford 😔

Great vehicle we put 145k on it with no major issu

I wish Ford still made this design. It met all our needs and I would definitely have purchased it again if the current model was as good.

One of the best Ford of all time.

Great midsize SUV,great visibility ,good looking and above all it is super reliable.The 3.0L is a better choice compare to the 2.5L. The FWD is great in snow and there is no need paying extra for 4WD.

2nd Escape I have owned- 2011 2.5 AWD

I like the Escape. No surprise to me why it has been one of Ford's better selling vehicles over the years. I used to own a 3.0 V6 and it certainly did have more power and pep as would be expected. However, the 2.5 with the 6 speed transmission actually does reasonably well and can perform when you push it. And if you choose to go gently on it the gas mileage is quit impressive. I have done a few repairs on the vehicle and it is easy to work on. It has been very reliable and I always enjoy driving it. All in all I would have to admit that I am a fan of this vehicle.

125,000 and going strong

I bought the car new in 2011 fully loaded. I gave it to my daughter to drive this year. 125000 miles on it. the only issue with the car was that I needed to put on a heavier tread pattern when I changed the factory Michelin tires out at 90000 miles. I should have ordered the heavier tread pattern when I originally bought the car. It does much better with a tread pattern just the next size up from the standard tire. The vehicle is great!
