Cursed car

I was sold this by Stockton Auto World. They lied & gave me the runaround from day 1. Never did get real story from anyone. Think FORD needs to be more proactive in follow through on this particular model & year.

It’s a Ford

It’s a Ford and it’s a lemon! Ford needs to stick to big trucks because this is the second Ford vehicle I’ve had and they are nothing but trouble with problem after problem. I will never waste my money on another Ford vehicle!

A good SUV for the money

My Escape is 5 years old now with over 100k miles on it. Other than normal service items (tires/brakes/fluid changes) it has held up fairly well. MPG has been consistent at 25 city, 30 highway for the entire time. There are a few items which could have been better. The engine transmission combo was not the best. The engine developed a knocking sound at 38k, which according to you-tube videos is possibly a crack in the block. The idle has never been smooth since I bought it. The transmission is a 6 speed, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd are not geared correctly. The tranny drops down into 1st at anything under 20 MPH and going from forward to reverse sometime ends up in a hung change followed by a slamming into reverse. The tranny requires fluid changes every 20k - too much maintenance. The rear hatch release gave up the ghost at 80k. Other than that - it still runs, no leaks, and hauls a goodly amount of stuff for a small SUV.

2010 Ford Escape

Rusting at 7 years old......terrible. And the air conditioning system is a poor, poor design that fails and costly to repair.

Ford Escape 2010, purchased used

I purchased this vehicle used. I didn't have a large choice in this particular SUV model as it was the only one on the lot at the time. There might have been a few other SUV model types, My history was in driving small - medium size sedans. I wanted something heavier, that could handle tough winter conditions better than my Ford Focus did. Like I mentioned above, it tends to be more of a gas-guzzler on A/C so I wish I had a "hybrid". When gas prices are like they are now, this isn't much fun. I do feel safer in the car and enjoy the wide front window which allows for much unimpeded viewing.

Trouble

I've had to do many repairs including new transmission! Since 4 years after purchase, after warranty was complete... it's been downhill for repairs. I won't buy another one for sure. There is something wrong every 8-10 months.

Question

My 2010 has not been great, I had to replace transmission 2016 and have had many issues over the past few years! Don't think I'd ever buy one again unless they prove the mechanics have improved. To bad because I like Ford's

2010 Ford Escape

Would not but another Ford. We've had 3 prior Ford Vehicles 89 Ranger, 88 Bronco II, and a Mercury Lynx. Minimal problems with them. Ford Escape has been continuously problematic. Throttle body went out early on Ford refused to replace it so we paid to have it done. Several years later Ford comes out and admits a problem with it and would replace it. Exhaust system continually triggers the engine light. Problem was fumes escaping from the gas fill nossel. It's been replaced a couple times at our expense but continues to be a problem. Flat tire sensors started to go at around 80k miles giving warnings that tires were going fast when they weren't. Cost to replace one of them is around $275. We replaced one just to have another go several months later so we just live with it. Problem is it can't be disabled and the alert startles you. Then the audio out of the blue comes on seemingly randomly and in a loud voice says "Do you want to run a vehicle check". This too can startle you potentially distracting the driver and causing an accident. It too can't be disabled. Unfortunately Ford seems to be on a down hill slide. I would no longer recommend Ford Vehicles.y

And When it was relatively new both the passenger side in the driver side front window were scratched because of rolling up-and-down. Basically it's run well except for those few issues. Also the gas mileage is less than listed on the sticker. Got a 4 cylinder. Won't do that again.

2010 Ford Escape

I love this 2010 4 wheel drive SUV. The only thing this year model was missing is the back up camera. I wanted to trade it in to a 2014 and was VERY disappointed in the new body style that looks like every other model on the road and they took the roominess out of it. I feel closed in in the newer years so I will not be purchasing another Ford Escape :( On the search for a new SUV with all the amenities of my 2010 Ford but with the back up camera plus whatever.

Ford electrical issues

Overall I do love my Ford Escape but I don't understand why Ford always has so many intermitten electrical problems and because they are intermitten it takes forever to pin point the real problem to correct it.

Above average because of dependability.

I rate the 2010 Escape above average largely because it has been very dependable for over 110000 miles...the most miles I have ever had on a car. However, there have been several minor issues I've never dealt with before like the fuel intake and a faulty door locking system.

2010 Ford Escape

I've owned my Escape since 201O and have been nothing but completely satisfied with just one exception, Since I live in Dupage Co I had to have my car go through the Vehicle emmissions test every year~ I have found this to the3rd time I've had to have the automattic gas tank cop repaired due leaking fumes I If the car had a simple gas cap I'm sure I would have Saved aver$400 in repairs. This Convince in not needing to use a gas cap to be quite costly and not worth haveing. A simple gas cap would do next time.

2010 Ford Escape

I bought this just before Harvey came to visit the Houston Texas area. I knew I wanted a vehicle with good ground clearance to use to drive to and from work because at the time the company I worked for was relocating to an area the is known for flooding (during Harvey the water reached 3 feet over the road in front of the new location). I also wanted a model that I could get parts years later. The only issue that I have had is the ABS failed (brakes failed), Ford had it for three day and could not find the trouble and I got the run around from them. In shear desperation I picked up my Escape and made my way to Precision Services and told them what happened. They knew what the issue was and performed a power brake flush, inspection, and adjustment. If I need help repairing any of my fleet above what I feel I can do myself, Precision is where I take all my vehicles.

Sturdy little SUV

This is a sturdy and reliable little SUV. It has good room inside for people (unless you are over 6 ft) and cargo. 4 cylinder engine is just enough for both city and highway. Decent fuel mileage if you are easy on the accelerator. Wear and tear items are no more than expected for a car over 100K miles. Tires, exhaust, rear liftgate actuator and rear window seal, and a couple of suspension parts. All very normal wear items.
