How reliable are Ford Escapes?

  • Non hybrid models have these problems, vacuum leaks are acquired after around 7 yrs. All unclamped hoses will leak, in the factory they are not required to install clamp on prone area which makes all american cars susceptible to performance problems. The PVC valve is in a really bad place to get to, its under the... Read More
  • I work at a Ford dealership in Western Canada and have found these to be a very reliable little vehicle. We mainly see them for maintenance, and most of the few I have seen with costly repairs were due to lack of maintenance and abuse. One issue we have seen is mud related wear if the customer drives in a lot of clay... Read More

Other Choices:

If you color within the lines, only a few measure up to the same narrow definition of a compact SUV as the 2009 Ford Escape. Many people admire the styling of the Saturn Vue. Like the Escape, the Vue offers a hybrid option (a second hybrid choice is on the way for the Vue). The Hyundai Tucson drives more like the pre-2009 Escapes, but does so with a low price and an especially long warranty. In terms of driving dynamics, the Honda CR-V is one of our all-time favorites, but some people have a hard time getting past the SUV's styling and the lack of optional V-6 power. However, the SUV that comes closest to the Escape is the Dodge Journey. In terms of styling, the Journey has strong looks that turn heads and plenty of features inside, such as multiple cubbies and rich infotainment options. However, the Journey's interior design isn't pleasing to the eye, and the materials feel subpar for the category—not just in comparison to the Escape.
