Grabber Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 I like the Escape and my wife wants a new one. However the 2013 Escape has had 4 recalls so far and it makes me wonder when the bugs will be worked out. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121201/AUTO0102/212010333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 This is why it is a wise practice to wait for Job #2 builds on new generation vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianspony Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 That's too bad. My son is still driving my 2001 Escape I bought new that has well over 250,000 miles and my 08 Escape has over 130,000 miles now trouble free. I'm not too crazy about the looks of the new Escape Ford changed it to. Knowing this I will stay clear of another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 What's the big deal? Toyota recalls almost every vehicle they make and have the most recalls every year but people keep buying them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
