2012 Ford Escape consumer reviews

My 2012 escape has a salvaged title. Was hit in the front. Only replacements I’ve made since purchase is the radiator and brakes/rotors. It gets me where I need to go. Good for the price I bought it. Currently has 169,000 miles on it. Can definitely drive for longer. I see many complaints about conditions of their car but that all depends on the previous owner.

Air conditioning unit don’t work. The back hinges required replacement. The heat on works on high. The sun roof leaks, the wheel wells are rusting away. The transmission is not working properly. Huge vibrations in the drive train. Just a horrible SUV FORD 2012 ESCAPE

horrible car. i received it used from my aunt. i don’t remember how many miles were on it when i received it, but somewhere in the 100’s. upon buying it off her, there were so many problems. frame was loose, extreme rusting. got those fixed, and more problems fell upon me the next year or two. rusting got even more worse and was starting to snap off on the trunk, frame became loose again, SEVERE water leaking into car causing damage to the fabrics and a constant mildewy and moldy smell, ac broke ever since i got it so that happened before i even got it just never had the money to fix it, headlights sucked butt feel like can’t see nothing at night. and now, at the almost 190,000 mile mark, the microphone broke, the frame is AGAIN loose, head gasket blew about 10,000 miles back (at 170-180 ish). so many problems i can’t even continue to list off. truly a piece of xxxx car, glad my aunt sold to me cheap. not worth putting money into.

212,000 miles and I think it will go to 250,000. 2012 3.0L V6. Old school performance, no turbo lag. I keep it running on E85 whwn I can.

Bought with 89k miles. Upon inspection for noise ln front end I notice substantial rust on sub frame cradle. It’s rotted through where the lower a frame connects. The bolts that fasten the rear of the cradle are rusted in side frame and will not come lose. To get these bolts lose will cause damage to the unibody. Car is to dangerous to drive.

It’s2023 I recently purchased a 2010 ford escape 3.0L v 6 139000 miles no rust very clean I paid 2500 for this car even when prices are so high I have seen these cars go easily for 6000 or more I came from a 4 runner that I loved but I am quickly looking this car not as heavy a little light for my taste but ok and not nearly the hp as the 4.0 but I am getting a whopping 28.8 mpg on highway and 25mpg in town sometimes dips to 23 but quickly pics back up on highway plenty of power comfort is wonderful drivability is amazing for a13 yo car I am more than impressed I recommend this car if you can find one today at an unbeatable price to buy it knowing what I know now I would not be afraid to pay 4500 for this car for you’ve done ok with this one my wife always has the new car I am fine with buying what I call beaters but they never really are she has a 15 explorer that she loves but she has grown pretty fond of my escape and the 28 mpg is this unheard of for this v6 anyone else seeing this with their 6 cyl v6 let me know .

My car is 2012. Will barely go past 40 mile per hr. Has only 72 thousand miles on it. Had air filter replaced recently. Ran better for a little while. Now will barely move.

At this point my Escape have 104.000 miles on it, no issues. Great exterior and interior. Technology in this car for 2011 is great, Bluetooth, handfree phone,satellite radio. The materials used in this car are the long durability after 11 years the car looks new.

This vehicle was exactly what I was looking for. It drives great and there's plenty of leg room. There is a lot more storage space than I expected which is fantastic.

It meets all of our needs. Plenty of cabin room. great body style. Plenty of leg room. Just all around sound Suv. Good Gas Millage.
