Pros: What do you like about 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid? Good mpg compared to other SUV's. After 4 years, overall avg is 29 mpg. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid? Have it made by a reliable, non-union Asian car company that produces quality, low maintenance/repair vehicles or that don't use shoddy, failure-prone components. At least if Ford is going to use cheap components they could increase their warranty from 3/36 to 5/60 or more. It was a complete rip-off to have to replace the front left bearing at 39,000 miles in 2 years (3000 miles out of warranty sir, please fork over $800), then one year later have to replace it again! 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid Review: I've lost all the money I've saved on gas by replacing the front bearings twice ($700+/incident) and now the brake master cylinder ($1500). I've driven 5 other cars in 28 years of driving and have never had to replace a wheel bearing or a master cylinder. I've done this all in 4 years and 60,000 miles. |
