Used 2009 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
Beware -Think...Read before your buy
I have problem after problem with the SUV. Really thinking about public transportation. Clicking in the wheels, shifting is horrible, transmission seal leaked and this is in the first 3 months of me own the vehicle. The good reviews must be from the dealerships. Think and research before you make this purchase.
Old friend
I was so sad to say goodbye to my old friend. It never caused one ounce of trouble. Only my feeling it would be good to have the new driver assistance applications available caused me to sell it. Whoever buys this SUV will find it gives the best service possible for one its age and younger. I kissed it goodbye.

Escape
Have had this car since bought new in 2009. It's been great! We have an XLT AWD. Ours includes fog lights, sunroof, and leather seats. Ours also has running boards, and a roof rack. It's great for daily use! The second row had a fair amount of space, and the front has plenty. Some minor issues with the car are that the back door to the cargo area doesn't open, we have to either fold the 2nd row, or use the opening back window. But that's pretty much our only issue! The car is great, and is used daily!

Great Buy
I bought this in April of '09 and waited to write this review, because I wanted to see if my delight in this car would hold--it has. So far, I've gotten 26 mpg's but it's still adjusting. I saw where Edmunds said getting the rear seat down was difficult -not so- lift a handle and down it folds. I'm loving the Siris radio that comes free for 6 months. I will subscribe when it runs out. The fit of the car is great. My husband loves it too. I bought this car because when I researched cars on Edmnds, the people who had bought this car gave it such high marks. They were right. No complaints at all.
The Best!
I was looking for a new vehicle and did a lot of looking believe me! I compared rebates, safety, performance, etc., and Ford got my vote! This is my 7th Escape and WOW.. What a gem! A huge improvement over the others in years past! Yesterday I got 28.2 mpg! V6- 4wd. I purchased this baby LOADED... And it's definitely a Very Sweet Ride! I would highly recommend this vehicle. It's very well worth it! Black Pearl is the color and it changes colors in the sunlight. I get tons of comments on this one. Very tight SUV and have not had any problems with the brakes... NONE!
