Used 2003 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
My 1st SUV!!!
This is my first SUV, so I can't compare with others. But so far, I have no complaints. The car chassis feature is why I chose it. I have been a Ford leaser for many years and did not necessarily wish to stay with Ford, but after checking other makes and models it was this vehicle that overwhelmingly won me over. I am happy I did the research and have been enjoying the easy ride, the ample space and the absolute comfort of my SUV!!!
Escape won me over
Never owned a Ford.... never cared to. But then came the Ford Escape! Lots of BANG for the $$ and lots of room. Only Ford I'd recommend!!!!! Thanks FORD!!

Wonderful SUV!!!
I love this car! It's car foundation gives it handling that is perfect for the city, but it is substantial enough that light trails hardly felt any different than the road. It only has a 15 gallon gas tank so when on the highway I have to stop often to fill the tank. I bought the new 'Gold Ash' color(very distinctive). The back seat is roomy and I have personally fit three kids and a dog in the back at once and everybody was still comfortable. My chief complaint is knob placement inside. The knob's are grouped close to the steering wheel and difficult to see sometimes. Other than these relativly minor complaints overall a great car for any active person.
problem ford
I have had this car fixed 5 times. It still will not start. I keep a journal and I have to crank it up to 12 times to get it to start in the middle of the month every month, and 6 times every time on the first week of each month. I think this is an electrical problem. I have had the idle valve replaced and it still will not start. Also has had 3 recalls done on it and I just had the power steering hose replaced on it last week. I do not know what to do just keep begging Ford to fix it so that I will not be late for work anymore. Cranking problem started 2 years ago and I have been told that this car can not be fixed. It only has 30,000 miles on it.

Escape is fun to drive - smooth riding, transmission is smooth, and has power in the 6cylinder.
