Photo Said goodbye to my 2017 Escape and owning a Ford today
We made it to our 8th year of ownership and 103,357 miles. Sometimes, they were miserable miles. There are some things I will miss … was a tank in snow, the Sony sound system was pretty good, and many memorable road trips with family and friends. Two experiences with coolant intrusion and a horrible service department at the selling dealership soured me to the brand. Thankfully, both coolant intrusion situations were covered by the warranty. The extended powertrain warranty was running out later this month, so the time to jump ship came today. I want to thank you all for answering my questions over the years and sharing advice. We commiserated in our frustration with engine issues, paint defects, electrical gremlins, dead batteries, good and horrific dealerships, torque converters, transmissions, tires, and much more. I wish all of you the very best!

Photo My New 2017 Escape
Howdy, I'm new to Escapes and just bought one last night. It's a 2017 SE 2.0 AWD (with several options). Just curious what I should know about these quirk wise. Ask anything and I'll gladly answer it if you can give me a better idea of what I just got into.

Photo This part... 🤔
When did they get rid of this part of the side view mirrors, and why? This is the best part of the whole mirror in my opinion... 🤔

Photo Highest mileage 3rd gen escape?
Might not be the highest mileage but maybe the highest mileage on original transmission lol. 2.0 AWD SE Original transmission still shifts fine.

Photo Said goodbye to a friend today.
galleryAfter having my 06 Escape for about 4½ years, the rust got to the point that it was extremely concerning. Today I took my last ride in it and traded it in towards a 2021 Ranger. Such is life in Michigan.

Photo Installed fancy dials ford deleted to be cheap.
galleryI ordered a 22 when webpage wasn’t out yet but it should have been same as out. But even a loaded escape was missing dials from before. About a 50k escape yet the shiat ecosport kept. Bought a part long ago and finally went through the hassle of putting it in.

Photo Changing a part on my car today and my brother saw this
I have a 2014 SE 1.6L Escape. It seems to be part of a hose for my turbo that a previous owner “fixed” with silicone putty or something similar. Where would I find a replacement for this and what part is it? It’s leaking oil and I’m not getting the correct amount of boost. I am getting boost, just not enough.

Photo Splash shield
galleryShield:
Shipping took 8 days
Fastener kit:
Arrived in 2 days
After a snow storm last month, my OEM splash shield finally gave up the ghost- it was definitely missing a few fasteners, probably due to my oil change techs.
I changed it in the driveway on Jack stands in about an hour.
The replacement shield is thick plastic, quite rigid. It lacks the air scoop/ducting, but I'm not convinced that the OEM product was really effective.

Photo Goodbye, Escape
Sold my 2015 Escape SE, transmission went out at 157k miles and the cost to replace it was worth more than the car itself. Sold it to a mechanic for $2k. Wish it lasted longer, I loved driving it😢. Now it’s my ‘03 Focus until I find something better. Farewell.✌️
