That is the Porsche-designed 3.0 Duratec reliable engine with the water pump on the outside so it doesn't leak into the engine like the transverse 3.5L The longitudinal 3.5L does not have an internal water pump. Ford goofed by putting it INSIDE the engine for packaging better for a FWD with limited space. This is why the truck (longitudinal) does not have this problem.

I've had a 2011 2.5 FWD for 3 years. In that time I've: rented it to strangers for 2 years, moved a 6x12 trailer of 1300lbs of stuff from MN to SC, driven the trailer back to MN, and made the same drive back to SC again without worry. At 160k, it's still a reliable commuter just starting to show a little wear. Super easy car for a home mechanic too. It's one of those cars that compels you to pet the steering wheel and say "good job".

Now I have owed this SUV for 6 years now and have gotten to the point where the toughness of the SUV has become a thing of comfort for me. What I mean by that is when you go out to your vehicle and get use to just turning the key and putting into drive and leaving means a lot of someone. Just plain old it runs comes to mind…………….kinda like Fender guitars are to the music world. They might not be the flashiest and sexiest but man do they take a pounding and keeping going forward.

My wife bought new a 2008 Escape V-6. It was a great car until it was totaled in an accident. The only problem it ever had was an o-ring that would let coolant leak when it was below 20* Fahrenheit. When it was warm outside, it was fine. We replaced it and as luck would have it, it was out of warranty when it started leaking! 🥴 Our daughter had a 2013 Escape and it was a P.O.S. She drove it when she lived in Houston and it started to $100 dollar her to death. She bought a Rav 4 to replace it and loves the Toyota!

@JimmyJam266 Год назад

Two months ago, I bought a silver 2008 Ford Escape XLT V6 for $4K with around 151K miles on it. Initially I thought that I rushed into buying it but so far, I love it! Granted it did give me trouble with the start ignition switch as it seems to be a common issue, it has since been resolved. I love the black interior luxury feel and spaciousness of the car, especially the trunk. The car didn't have backseat headrests, so I bought used from a junkyard, just $20. My only gripe is the fuel efficiency. Recently, I took it to a local mechanic for a whole diagnostic check and I need new sparkplugs and coil for Cylinder 5 (it was misfiring, but bought new coils and sparkplugs online), a driver side lower control arm, alignment, and a transmission/brake fluid flush. Apparently my battery was weak, so I'm looking at getting a new one with AAA just in case. I'm learning more about this car as I go and being a New Englander, I'm curious to see how it handles snow!

Don't know much about the later models, but I have a 2003 Tribute 4WD and the only bad things I can find about it have been the paint job didn't last very long, the fabric glued onto the interior of the doors became "unglued" and the radio digital display doesn't work. Other than that it has been a fantastic vehicle and serves well in the snowy mountain areas in California. I didn't realize the relationship with Ford until I buckled a seatbelt and noticed it had a Ford tag on it. Then I saw a Ford Escape and other than a few body or bumper differences, seemed to be pretty much identical. Reminded me of Nova and Corolla in the mid to late 80's...pretty much the same vehicles with identical dashboards.

When Ford was collaborating with Mazda, Ford used to own up to 34% of Mazda, therefore any vehicles that were jointly produced were really around 67% Fords. The narrator talked about Nissan. Ford used to have a joint venture with Nissan. The Mercury Villager and Nissan Quest were similar when both were manufactured at a Ford plant 1992-2002. The Ford Maverick SUV sold in Australia 1988-1994 was a rebadged Nissan Patrol. The Ford Maverick SUV sold in Europe 1993-1999 was a rebadged Nissan Terrano II / Nissan Mistral.

Currently driving a 2020 Escape, 1.5 liter. Just turned over to 13,000 miles, and the air bag light is on. Ford Pass tells me that three of the air bags have problems. The rear hatch will not open, the rear camera does not work and the dome lights will not come on. I thought I would have a good reliable vehicle for many years to come. At least the gas mileage is good as I average between 26 and 31 depending on condition. This is my second Escape having a 2016 before with no problems what so ever, until I traded it off on the 2020 and the person who bought it used from the dealer had the transmission go out. That vehicle only had 68,000 miles on it. It had showed no signs of any transmission problems before I traded, never been off road or pulled anything. Wish Pontiac still made vehicles, have a 2003 Bonneville with 260,000 miles and still runs great, beating it will go to 300,000. I doubt my Escape will ever hit 200,000 without major repairs. Oh well at least repairs keep mechanics employed.

Nissan has a lot of problems with their CVT transmission, the new ones are not an exemption, and Ford have had a lot of complaints in Mexico because the bad quality and troubles with engines and transmissions as well. So I will always preffer Toyota, the Rav4 or even the new Corolla Cross, both hybrid or not I think is the best options.

Don't know what Ford did with Gen 2 body sheet metal wheel arch pinch weld fit - the inner and outer panels have about a 1/8" gap when welded. So the welds pull the panels together. OK but they spaced the welds about 4" apart so the panels bulge apart between the welds and wick water and rust out the arches. There is no rust at the welds since the panels are clamped together and basically sealed. What is troublesome is why the poor panel dimensions? Bad drawings? Deviated out of spec panels? And more trouble some is why didn't Ford just double up the # of pinch welds - they could have properly dealt with the problem. But I guess since this is a cheap, throwaway car, there would be no financial reason to help out Ford customers in Rust Belt areas.

Scotty. The escape you are pointing to ( which looks just like mine almost except mine is green and rustier) has ZERO connection to Toyota. And as for the Mazda/ Ford partnership- it has a lot to do with Ford owning controlling interest in Mazda during late 90s to early 2000s

I have red escape 2020 titanium. It’s no competition that Ford wins. It’s like driving a base X3, q5, glc. It has too much of European feel, especially the engine. The 2.5 eco boost has twin scroll turbo, meaning it has almost no turbo lag during acceleration. Nissan has nothing. Rav 4 prime is the only thing I would consider maybe better than 2020 escape titanium.

@KB-bh9hp 2 года назад

@Lucky Sin Luciano Ford employees, mechanics, and passionate owners on the forums who've done more research than either of us beg to differ. From my understanding the ev motors are new, the battery chemistry has also been charged from air cooled to liquid cooled, and is lithium ion instead of nickel hydride. The transmission, and engine have both been around for a long time, and have proven to be extremely durable. Ford has a good reputation for ev and hybrid reliability, basically every hybrid/ev model they make has above average or excellent reliability ratings. Switching to a liquid cooled system and offering lithium ion batteries instead of nickel are both changes which should enhance powertrain longevity. Liquid cooled ev systems are virtually bulletproof, the few brands still using air cooled, like Nissan, have some reports of ev components overheating. Lithium ion cells generally hold up better when it comes to repeated recharging than nickel cells. Everything about this is indicating the maverick will be reliable. Ford's renewed focus on quality, the fact that they used the very durable and well proven c2 platform and racked up something like 19 million miles of real world and simulated testing. Ford said developing a vehicle with low long term ownership costs was a high priority for the maverick. Not to mention basically every mechanical who's looked the maverick over says it looks like it was designed to be easy to be maintained and worked on. Ford knows people keep their trucks for decades, they know this has to be successful, and it seems like they've delivered.
