How many miles does a ford escape usually last?

I have a 2003 and it has 389000 miles on it (yes I checked my vehicle history )a d uts still running like a new one !howidk but I'm here to tell you it does .

Ahhh, you guys were just breaking it in. My 2002 Escape had racked up a little over 727,000 be fore I finally had to retire it.

130k is a joke, they last waaaaay longer than that

Just purchased a 2014 Escape 1.6L 2WD at 100,000 kms. How long will it last? Car complaints forums say to avoid it like the plague. I should have done enough research but VIN says no recalls.

So I have a 2014 Ford Escape - never had one issue. Paid off in April 2020 and I take care of the car, oil changes, tires rotated, recalls taken care of and so on. I was driving home last week and it would hesitate at a stop sign or a light but then it would go into gear.The next day it went to a local mechanic that we trust. Got a call and the whole transmission has to be replaced or rebuilt, anywhere between $3100 & $4000 - WTH - So I looked to see if there was a recall and evidently there is litigation going on about recalling the 2014 Ford Escape. This is what is written about it: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Ford Escape, and 2013-2016 Ford Fusion vehicles, equipped with six-speed automatic transmissions. The bushing that attaches the transmission shifter cable to the transmission may degrade over time and cause the bushing to detach from the transmission. 2014 is considered a devastating one for this model of car because of its transmission. The 2014 model would often stop completely while it was driving down the road. Owners reported having to turn their car on or off again several times on a single trip. Shockingly, Ford never recalled the transmission. I am so mad - I will never buy another Ford again!

2007 Escape with 352,000 and still going.

So if a new trans is put in or a rebuilt will the car be good or as good as the trans

Mine is at 180,000.....driven everyday ,,,,it is a noisy sonofagun though!! People on cell phones ask me to roll up my windows and I tell them "my windows are rolled up! Its the loudest auto Ive ever owned!"

I have 198,000 miles on my 2010 xlt. Doesn't burn oil. Runs great. Just took a 3000 mile trip. Averaged 23.6 mpg in the mountain west.

2011 ford escape with over 270,000 miles on it and runs like a top. No problems ever just regular maintenance.

The Ford Escape last 320000 miles with good care and maintenance.

I have 230,000 miles on my 2003 Ford Escape only thing I had to replace is the valve gasket besides that it runs great and always fires up it's all about how often you change the transmission fluid but oil expecially, the key is to use synthetic oil from Ford

My Escape has 147,000 miles on it and still runs like it is brand new.

150,000 and counting on my 2009. Have only had to replace brakes, tires, water pump and tie rods

Billy J is a moron

Just traded in my (Ordered it new) 2001 Ford Escape with 217,000 miles on it. Tires, brakes, few coil packs and a fuel pump, located under the rear drivers side seat, that took less than 10 minutes to replace. Always started and ran great. Traded up to a used 2015 Ford Escape.

I have a 2005 Ford Escape V6 and it's running great at 183,000 miles. The biggest issue is the rust around the rear tire well.and the tail gate.

I have 179500 on my 2012 escape. Runs like a top except air conditioner kicked the bucket last year. Uses no oil. Getting over 27 mpg avg. Only put tires and brakes on.

The Ford Escape was basically the same car (a few engine choices) until 2012. In 2013 it changed completely, with smaller 4 cylinder and turbo options. From what I'm reading here, it seems that longevity may be much lower on the 2013+ versions.

2004 XLT V6 with 267,000 and going strong!

300,000 on my 2008

I just bought a 2012 Ford escape with 130000 miles on it.so far its running great.but I've seen a lot of mixed reviews about them. My main issue is the mykey lock. I have to pay ford350 to replace it so I can take it off.can only turn my radio up halfway cuz of it. Unless anyone knows how to bypass it.

A ford escape generally lasts for 130,000 miles.

2013 Escape, 268,000 miles and still going strong @ 4,000 mi/mo - starting to put some $ in it though (more than tires, oil, brakes, etc).

150,250 miles on mine - 2007 Escape XLT - 4cyl duratech Eng. 165hp model - Had to do a number of repairs: Transmission replacement, Engine/transmission mounts replacement, A/C Compressor clutch and A/C compressor replacement, A/C Rebuild, Belt changes, replaced tie rods, steering linkages, trans-axel seals and packings, brake line replacements, parking brake cable replacements, Right window replacement, right aft window motor replacement, valve cover, exhaust flex pipe, added and fixed the transmission cooler leaking 3x, spark plugs, plus general maintenance like oil changes, air filter changes etc.

161,000 on my 2003 V6 original owner 2020 rollin on

Just bought a 2008 6 cyl XLT with 101k miles for just $1,000 ! Passed inspection with no issues. Hope my daughter drives this for 10 years.

213,000 miles on my 2010 ford escape. Loving it! Some rust above the rear wheels and some A.C. Issues. Otherwise great buy. Very glad to have purchased it.

210804 on my 2014. So far I have only had to replace tires and a battery . I have not had any major problems

I have a 2011 4 cylinder that has 160,000 miles on it. I had to have some transmission maintenance done to it around 90,000 miles, but nothing major if I remember correctly it was a seal. Other than that, just brakes, tires. My heater fan just went out, and for the last few years the heater fan only worked on high. Just minor things.

My 03 escape xlt has 256,000 miles on it and it still runs great.

Have a 2008 Ford Escape XLT V6 3.0 liter, 175,000 miles still runs strong. Replaced spark plugs and new battery and synthetic oil change and it run in excellent condition!

My 2003 XLT was going on 206000 when I traded it in for a 2012 Escape.

213,000 some odd on my 05 and it crapped out yesterday. Just brought home a 2011 with 140,000 on it. Not what I wanted, but for the price, vs a pick up truck, I got what I got.

2007 model with over 240,000km. Replaced transmission, replaced break lines on front. Tires and pads are consumables. (Note 130,000 miles is 210,000km). Water pump seized three weeks ago and took out the engine. If I had caught the gage going up it Probably would have had atleast another 30,000k.

I have over 211,000 on my 2001 XLS. Runs great still and always starts.

2006 3.0 xlt 4x4. Trans replaced at 190k. All services done and frequently maintained with OEM parts. 202,000. 22 mpg and runs well. My 2017 Ecoboost Mustang is a different story. Head gasket failed at 28k.

189000 on my 2013

We have we have a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid... It has 214000 Mi on it, and runs like a champ!!!!I must say, I believe this is the best running vehicle we've ever driven! It's been very reliable!We've only had to replace tires, and have an oil change! We drive it everyday, quite a few miles a day! Everything works in it, and it's a very quiet running vehicle! This has been the best experience with a vehicle we've ever had! We would definitely refer people to buy a Ford Escape! Has definitely been a very positive experience for us! We're very happy with our 2007 Ford Escape!!!!

367000+. On a 2007 wed with a V6. There is a $5 oil seal that I should replace but I’ve been too lazy to do it, Ran the oil down so low that you could hear the lifters knocking twice Replaced three coil packs, the air-conditioning compressor, tie rod ends, in front struts. She was backed him to buy a box truck hit hard enough that radiator was destroyed so I had to replace that as well, The only electrical problem has been the lights on the radio Still driver 4000 miles a month can’t kill the little beast

200908 on my 2013,whats the max on an escape?

We have a 2003 with 320 thousand miles with zero problems other then brake pads tires oil changes and spark plugs every 100 thousand miles. We also have a 2013 with 230 thousand with zero problems. You do the proper maintainer and they will last a long time. Most people that have problems are the ones that would have problems with any vehicle.

I have a 2006 Escape. I have replaced the 6 coils twice thru the years. Other then that its been just tires, oil changes. To date I have 249,000 and it runs awesome.

I have a 2009 standard transmission Ford Esacpe with 173,000 miles on it. It runs great haven’t had any real serious issues other than standard maintenance such as brake pads battery alternator and tie rod replacement but I will say what has been kind of “fluky” was I had to replace the key ignition switch on the steering column and a belt tensioner wheel went bad. Since the mechanic had to get down into the tensioner I told him to replace the water pump for just added insurance. Also had to replace a/c evaporator core. But overall the engine runs great. I change the oil with synthetic oil every 7500 miles

Ours is a 2007 and has 249,000. Still going strong. No major issues

I have a 2003 2wd ford escape it has over 225000 still get 21.5 mpgs. I live in WASHINGTON St the hill are killers.

2007 for escape with almost 240k miles😌 only thing wrong with it is that it burns oil frequently so I’m constantly putting oil in it every couple of days

Husband is finally getting rid of his 2001 ford escape. 311,000 miles and some change.

Tengo una ford scape 2005 con 288,000 millas y aun esta en muy buenas condiciones, si le he invertido dinero pero cada dollar ha valido la pena, me encanta micamioneta

2010 Ford escape 300,000 and still running like a champ

My 2013 (bought new) is just shy of 94,000 miles and apparently needs a new engine.

I have a 2011 escape and up to 271 000 kil.

143,000 on my 2010 Limited 4cyl. Bought it new in Dec ‘09. Runs like a champ! Only some minor issues. Most annoying thing I’m currently dealing with are these TPMS “sensor faults” that happen sporadically. Glad to see so many Escapes here last into the 200-300K range.

2013 Ford Escape 65 000.for $ 9000.00 good price also it says they only last 130000.00 mile no good right?

200,626 on my 2010 Ford Escape xlt v6 and it’s still going strong. Just a few minor things but other than that is great. Daily driver and still going. The only problems are the check tire pressure sensor fault and the pressure is just fine. Other times when I’m idle somewhere it would be the oil light. I’m my mind, the escape is a pretty good vehicle and is reliable. I’ve had mine almost since it was new and it’s good!

My 2005 Escape has 319000 ins and still going strong

149,200 on my 2011

236000 and still going strong!

My 2004 escape only has 180,000 and still going

My wifes 2014 escape titanium made it to 131000 and has been in the shop for better than 6 months at ford needing a new engine put in it got a new engine from ford and they cant get the timming right on it now. So i would tell anyone thinking of getting one not to and if you have one sell it quickly

243000 on mine

Mine has 200k miles. Runs great.

I have 228,000 Ipull trailers, load it up for work. Best vehicle I have ever owned. Front brakes at 186000. Tires and a battery. 23 mpg avg, this little baby will hit 26 mpg cruising without a trailer.

2001 XLT Escape I bought in 2001 with 2 miles on odometer, it now has 189,560 miles on it..... Today Aug 30 2020 it slowed down,But it still runs very slow 15-20 mph..... I think I will take it to a local mechanic and have them do a diagnostic, I think it is the transmission????

155,000 on 2009 escape. I have only paid for oil changes, new tires,brakes and basic maintenance. Heat/ac blowers just now are only working on the highest level but has not went out! Love this suv!!!

260,000+ and going strong

My 2005 Escape has 319000 jams still going

The lady that cleans for Friday me has 2014 Escape that has 449754 miles on the original drivetrain, with no major repairs, and still runs like a well oiled machine, you can barely hear it running.

So far I’m at 320,000 miles on my 09 Ford Escape. I bought it used 4 years ago at 90,000 miles. I’m a Lyft/Uber driver. I’ve had no major issues with my engine or transmission, other than replacing the valve cover gasket once and the transmission seal and bushing 3 times. I have replaced just about ALL the suspension 3-4 times and front wheel bearings 4 times. I switched out to full synthetic oil when I bought it and keep up on my maintenance. Today I’m having to replace the motor/transmission mounts. I have replaced the tensioner 2 times so far, as well as the driver side ABS speed sensor 2 times. I Love my Escape.

My 2009 escape has 324,355 kms and still going. I have kept up on maintenance and have only replaced tires

2009 ford escape no problems except and bad Censer has 234,257 mileson it Going strong.

2011………issues >valet key(((((

I have a 2003 Ford escape with 360,000 miles on it. I had to replace the tranny at 285,000 causeI have a 2003 Ford escape with 360,000 miles . I had to replace the tranny at 285,000 because I was towing something too large in 102 temp and overheated it. But it is still running strong.

I have a 2009 Ford Escape with 422,397 km . Need some talc but still use it every day

2008 212k miles Im the 2nd owner bought it from a hospital they maintain it very well

The transmission in our 2014 Ford Escape went out completely at about 130,000 miles. We had to pay thousands to have the transmission completely rebuilt. Then about a month later we had to have the tubes all replaced because the transmission fluid kept leaking. Under the hood is so poorly organized and such a pain to get to for the mechanics that labor is always way higher for the amount of time they have to spend under the hood getting to anything. We were turned away by 2 car shops in arow because the shop owners hate working on Ford Escapes so much. The last guy we found who was willing todo the work we needed said he have smelled gas for a momentwhen he turned it on .. He went on to say that if it goes up in flames to just let it burn. Then when we asked about resale and he said if it was his car he couldn’t sell it to someone because his conscience wouldn’t allow him to screw someone else over like that.This car has been such a nightmare for us. We can’t wait to get rid of it.

2007 - running and looking good at 270k

I have a 2009 ford escape XLT 3.0, bought it with 112000 and now its up to 143000. Before buying it have new coils, new breaks, has had issue with the tire pressure sensor since purchase, these are notorious for that, no biggie. Engine runs great and everything else. I've noticed a theme in the comments and from the mechanics I've had do maintenance, is that between the other engines and the 3.0, the 3.0 is the better one. Less issues and long life. There have been a few other escapes without the 3.0 in my family and they didn't last long. I'd say if you have the 3.0 don't sweat it, but the rest?.. Maybe retire early before it leaves you stranded or out of transportation.

My 2004 Ford Escape has 352,000 miles and still going.

My 2005 escape 2.3 have 235000

Seems like the ones that last the longest are 2012 and older. I think those were actually Mazda’s. 2013 and up are Ford’s.

I have a 2008 with the 3L engine that just went over 436.0000 and usually push the rpm over 5500 and the only problem I have had is I keep replacing rear half shafts cause they are weak so going custom shafts

2003 267000

Mine has 267,000 it’s an 2003

I have a 2014 Escape engines never been replaced I have 373,000 mi on it this comes from keeping the car service and taking good care of it

2001 Ford Escape XLT V6 AWD with 310,000 and runs like a beauty just do your maintenance people and take care of it

We have a 2013 SEL 185,000 was in shop 3 times recently for leaks, kept leaking antifreeze Now it’s at a transmission shop having to get rebuilt transmission, ugh

My 2003 V6 Escape has about 320,000 miles. Mostly highway and driven regularly except for a one year stint when it sat. It's been very reasonable with repairs original engine and transmission. I love it more than my 2011 Escape AWD 4cyl that seems to have constant problems with the bearings and all things suspension. The 2011 Escape has 185,000 miles. The 2011 I have replaced transmission once and wheel bearings at least 3 times along with cv joints etc ... I drive off road a lot for work and I expect the dirt to get in the brakes and wear on the rotors for any car. I thought the AWD Escape would be good for my job (off road on farms through mud etc). It is not. The '03 2WD is less problems. I think the AWD being constantly engaged is problematic for my driving style and is maybe better for snow situations than mud. 2013 4WD not a 4WD for a GA country girl but an AWD for a Illinois soccer mom maybe. The 2013 AWD has definitely pulled me through some ugly mud but not worth the cost to maintain. Better to stick with the older 2WD and walk or get pulled out by a passer by. The V6 in my '03 escape has made me never want to drive a 4 cyl again. Especially in a heavy vehicle like that. When you have to turn left on a crammed pack highway with log trucks and people speeding. It's not good. The 2003 2WD 6cyl gets just as good gas mileage as the 2011 4cyl AWD. I almost sold my 2003 Escape once and now I am so glad I didn't. I'm going to keep on keeping the '03 up and if the engine or tranny goes I will replace because that will be cheaper than a new car and I know exactly what I've got in it and what it can do. Also, the newer problematic Escape was driven mostly city miles by the previous owner and the older better Escape was driven mostly highway miles by the previous owner. I drive mostly highway. I've learned from this experience to look for one owner vehicles who have mostly highway miles. The city miles take a toll on you and your car. Also, a 4 cylinder is not saving you gas if it is working harder to pull the weight of the vehicle. V6 is probably equally good on gas and gives you more punch to pull out (in a heavy body suv).

Just hit 200,000. Motor is bullet proof but had 4 transmission put in. First one at 18,000 and last one at 126,000. Thankfully I got the extended warranty.

I have a 2010 escape brought it 2nd hand with 90,000 on the clock, it has done 336,000kms it has had regular services every 10,000 kms tires done when need, breaks done when need and the eco fuel sensor failed at 280,000kms (hasn’t been replaced) the dif has a leak and the transmission has just gone in it I have been quoted a price range of $3000-$7000 for a rebuild that is with labour costs. Not planning to get it done as I have about $1000 worth of repairs that needs to be done.

314000 and still running great

My 2012 has 454000 and is still running strong hopefully stays like this not noisy at all it is a hybrid

2008 Ford Escape 4cylinder. 210K miles, zero engine issues, only issues I’ve had are the brakes. I wish the car would die so I can convince myself to buy something but I don’t foresee that happening. Runs great.

2011 Escape V6 with 174,000 on it. I regularly change oil and changing transmission fluid is easier than changing engine oil. I done the coils, plugs, front brake hoses, shocks/struts, brakes, sway bar links, control arms, AC compressor, and purge valve. Mine is starting to rust on the rear fender wheel wells now.

I have 2005 ,has 264,000sh on it,still run.

We have a 2001 Ford Escape with the 6 cylinder motor and it has155,099 on it and still running great. Gas mileage not so great but these weren't known for getting great mileage.

2007 Ford Escape 260,587 Miles XLT V6

2010 escape 246000 kilometers runs good just bought it last week seats are a bit hard though.

My 2012 Ford Escape Limited clocked 348,164 .0 miles on the odometer W/the original back brakes still intacted the transmission has given up I imagine the pump seal from what I was told was leaking extremely bad so after a Great run the Towels in on her. And not once ever did it leave me stranded on the roadside..a true testament to Reliability and dependably...!!!!

258000 miles on my 2011, only unusual issue is that it is on its3rd ac compresser runsgreat

My 2006 Escape Limited runs fine. Slight oil leak found in 2019, using high mileage oil stopped the leak. 225000km up today. Changed struts and shocks last year, feeling like a new.

Got 2013 Ford Escape SLE and it's the best car we have ever owned.Only issues were battery and covered under warranty both times. 109, 000 miles and brakes are still in good shape

2014 escape with 111,221 miles no issues and regular maintenance

My 04 escape xlt has 257,000 on it and it still runs great

My 2010 Ford Escape currently has 205,103 miles on it an I’ve had it for 3 years in that time I’ve hit two deers an only replaced the air filter,radiator,alternator,brakes an tires it’s still running strong.

2013 with 141K. So far; only oil changes, new tires and batteries.

Just purchased a 2014 Escape 1.6L with 100,000kms. VIN says no active recalls. Car complaints forum says to avoid it like the plague. I am stressed about this.

Those of you with 200k+ on yours, that's great? I'm impressed with how much care you must have put into it did you replace the transmission, engine, or other major components? Was the transmission recall repair free, and did it solve the problem? Steering or other.

20005 miles on mine 2010 Ford Escape no major problems

58,000. Major issues ?

My 2005 Ford Escape has more than 241,000 miles and still drives good

132,000 on my 2003 xlt v6. Just now needs coils and plugs.Everything else is normal oil change, tires and frontpads. 1 new muffler and had to take the two (rusted out) factory runnimg bords to pass inspection. One rust through hole on rear fender well

I currently own a 2007 Ford Escape and just turned over 230,000 miles on original engine. It’s had regular oil changes, 4 sets of tires, 2 batteries. Just in the past week I had an alternator put in and a day later the air conditioning compressor went out. I won’t be paying for an ac compressor. All this to say our new 2007 Escape has been a dream.

2008 Ford Escape - 208,000 miles and had recall in 2014 on power steering sensor. Ford fixed recall, but in 2020 steering column assembly went bad. $2,800 fix at Ford dealer. Consumers filed litigation, but was unfounded. Ford failed to recall new issue even though power sensor in 2014 was an issue. Overall good vehicle, but expensive to fix the latest issue considering age and miles.

Mine is a 2012 and has 197, plus and counting. Only big item I have to replace is the exhaust system. And have done a few minor repairs. But, runs like a top. So glad that I have bought it.

I have 241,894 miles

I have an 01 escape xlt with 305,000 miles and an 03 escape with 352,000 and they both still run fine. The 03 is the better running of the two but I'm the second owner and it's been meticulously taken care of. The 01was supposed to be a parts donor but ended up being a second vehicle to drive daily if needed. Great suv

I have 206,000 miles, subframe broke at 140,000 it was replaced still runs great

My 2007 Escape Hybrid just turned over 200,000 miles and is still running great. Had to have the water pump replaced, but it was a recall and Ford refunded my money. Best car I have ever owned.

This is complete and utter bs my 2013 Ford Escape has 110000 and still going strong

11,000 on my original engine and the second engine may be failing after 2,000 miles. The 1.5 engine seems like it has a design problem.

200000 on my 2010 escape and runs great

200908 on mine, whats the highest it goes?
