Ford Escape Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Jun | 2010 | 0 | rear back glass greased by dealer, but started squeaking again on way home from dealer on paved road. squeaking in rear of vehicle, sounds like coming from back seat latch. dealer advised coming from back glass. told me because I drive on dirt road (2mi/day) dust is getting on the glass under the rubber seal, they applied grease. | |
| Dec | 2010 | 28000 | 40 | heard noise in transmission area then in right front area, dealer claims it was dirt & rocks wedged underneath. Also they were saying I must have high centered it, not true. I drive 2 miles/day on a dirt road with minimial gravel. Local Dealership service worker lied to Ford rep about what I advised the issue was. Totally unacceptable. Do not recommend local service department. Mentioned that unacceptable that back glass should require greasing, who ever heard of such. Also didn't realize I would have to crawl under my vehicle everyday to remove rocks & dirt that may have gotten under it. Phoned Ford to inquire/complain that must be manufacturing flaw if dirt/rocks cause excessive noise on AWD off road vehicle. Really didn't care, also mentioned back glass issue. Advised will tell engineers, but didn't really seem to car Would not recommend this Ford Escape to anyone buying it for use other than paved road. Apparently isn't capable of going on any other surface without issues with dirt/gravel build up. |
