Continuing to get good service from my 2012 Ford Escape

With 120,000 miles on the odometer, my Escape continues to serve me well like the first day I drove it. I attribute that to two factors: it is a good car and has gotten good service from Weber Automotive.

Works as hard as a truck

Purchased my Escape used in an emergency situation after losing my F150 in an accident. Have always owned and driven pickups however I've found that in my old age the Escape does all the work my pickup use to and is easier for me to get in and out from. Comfortable ride, economical and easy to maintain in all respects. I have a hundred thousand plus miles on it and it's still going strong and looks as if it just came off the showroom floor. It will be a sad day when it goes out of service.

Second Best Vehicle I Ever Owned

I’ve had my 2012 Escape for 10 years and my other most favorite car was a 2001 Escape I had right before it. I’ve had both over a decade with great driving and gas mileage. Typical wear and tear on tires and brakes, but no other engine problems. Wish it could last another 10 years!

It's a Ford

Minor issues with switches, Ac issues, and clutch. Overheating as time goes by. Other than that, it's good comfort with plenty of room and easier to manoever around. All in all, it's great on gas mileage

2012 Ford Escape 4cyl.

Fine car. It has 45,000 miles. Good mileage for it's size and weight. I would have preferred a standard transmission but it was not offered with 4 wheel drive. The downshift on the shift lever is nice though. Dealer service is excellent.

2012 Ford escape

This is the 2nd escape I've owned. I love it. Now let me say this. I dont care for the 6 speed transmission, and the escape has a design flaw in the hatch release. Ford totally blew it with the 2013 redesign! Bad move!

More Good Than Bad

I'm at 150k miles and have only needed things that were expected to ware in due time. I've always been surprised how will it does on rocky trails. Other than ground clearance, it gets me to out close to I need to go in the forest or desert.

Pretty pleased

I live the mileage I get with my Escape. I was not aware how've low I sat inside until after I purchased it. My previous car was an Explorer and I sat up higher, which I love. I don't need great pickup so th 4- cylinder was fine, but my next car will have the 6-cylinder or at least the Ecoboost. I don't it a lot of miles on my cars so I'm pretty easy to please. I would have liked to have more options but this was my first car to buy new and I could not afford anymore. I will probably never buy another brand new car.

Everything We Had Hooed Fot, . . .but:

We had purchased this car new in October 2012. The only negative comment I have is; RUST!! Rear wheel wells in particular. Not feeling alone in this problem, as 95% of these cars seem to have the same problem. It starts early, & it looks terrible. Other than this, it has been a great car. Dependable, economical to operate and, up to 2012, a very nice looking & clean styling job. We have traveled cross country in the car, & have found it to be a very comfortable car to travel long distances in. I have no immediate plans to sell this car, but would consider another Escape when & if I do. The new Escape is a much different, but appealing design & if they’ve done anything to resolve the rust issue, I would probably be a repeat customer.

Very reliable

Aside from the obvious issue of rust on the rear quarter panels (wheel wells) the only problem I have had with this vehicle were the brakes early on in it's life, which was really just more of a personal preference. The stock front brake rotors were crap and I replaced them early on (30k?).

know your car weakness

know which parts need maintenance stay on top of the axle ring bushing which may wear out after 100,000 miles. change or check trans gear box oil once a year. and your ford escape will last over 200,000 miles. I have two ford escapes and they have over 150,000 miles already.

Escape mechanically has given us great service for 140,000 miles my big complaint is the body it’s starting to rust out at the rear wheel opening moldings way too soon and I’ve seen many other models rusted in the same spot

Escape has served uswell mechanically for 140,000 miles normal wear and tear nothing nothing major a few suspension components it also gets good mileage around town 20 miles per gallon in averages 26 on the highway and except for the premature rushed were very happy with it
