Hey everyone! Just checking in to see if anyone has purchased touch up paint for Antimatter blue - code HX. I called a dealership in the area and I can order some through them but it only comes with the paint and clear coat no primer for 40$ CAD. Just wondering if that is my best option or if anyone here has found success with other paint products.

Hi yall, i need help. When i turn on my AC, it’ll blow for about one full minute and slowly stop blowing COMPLETELY, no hot air or anything. I live in Texas and this heat is horrible for my kids and I. I plan on taking it to the shop Friday but was hoping to come here to see if anyone else has had the same problem or possibly knows what it could be.

I have a 2009 escape 2.5L, ive replaced the water pump and thermostat but im still getting no hot air and car is overheating. Im thinking clog in the radiator but i dont want to make an expensive and unnecessary repair.

Hey everyone, I've got a 2013 escape that ran into some issues and it sat for almost a year. I'm finally cleaning and fixing everything to get it back on the road, car is at about 99k miles right now. I installed the new battery, plugs, and vacuum pump yesterday. Can starts and runs fine. I turned on the ac to make sure it still works (live in florida). The ac started running fine, then the belt started squealing and i'm assuming smoke from the belt near the engine bay. Shut ac off and everything runs fine. I'm assuming its the ac compressor clutch which isn't a hard job to do. What i'm wondering is 1. Can the compressor pulley/clutch assembly be pulled without evacuating the system. 2. Can it be done with it still mounted in the car? 3. If it can be has anyone found a replacement clutch/pulley for a decent price. Rockauto has the clutch/pulley assembly for 184 and a new compressor is like 220 so not much cost saving there.

Hi, I have a 2013 Escape I bought 2nd hand and the previous owner had an Avital remote start installed. The remote start is acting up and I decided I'm just going to uninstall it. I took the covers off the steering column but I don't see the module anywhere there. Does anyone have any ideas where it could be hiding at? Thank you for your help.

hey all! i've driven a 2012 XLT since 2017 and recently i've tried hooking up a trailer to it for the first time. went smoothly until we tested the brake lights on the trailer--crickets.

everything was hooked up correctly, so my spouse replaced the housing and clipped back the wires a bit because there was some damage close to the ends, and it still showed no signs of life.

my question is if anyone else has dealt with this, and how did you fix it? and if the whole wire needs replaced, how complicated/expensive was that? i'm very fortunate to have a friend who can take apart and put back together any vehicle, and i'm wondering if this will be a case-of-beer compensation or a $150 gift card to texas roadhouse compensation! TIA!

Currently 115,00 miles.

Turbo replaced at 100k for $3k

New Tires at 100k for $1200 (Michelin Cross Climate 2), probably have another 30k miles left on them.

Car chews through batteries every 2 years.

Passenger window replaced due to break-in ... can still hear glass rattling when I close the door.

Car would be considered in fair to good quality as I use it for work and abuse the interior loading and unloading equipment. KBB value for trade-in is $4k.

I wouldn't have thought otherwise about keeping this to 150k-200k miles but I hear some horror stories from this sub.

I'm not about to dump $7k into a new tranny for this thing and I hear that the real expensive stuff starts failing around 120k miles.

I make plenty of money but I'm cheap. This is a personal/work vehicle (self employed) and my car is essential to my business.

The only car I've had my eyes on is a Rav4 Prime.

Do I dump this thing while it still runs and go a different direction or cross my fingers for the 150k+ mark?

We bought this car so my wife can drive a more fuel efficient car than our Highlander. She works 2/3 times a week and drives around 100/miles round trip.. I know the Escape has a 14gallon tank, so when the sales person filled up the car so we could drive it off the lot, the "miles to e" was at 220.. I know he said he reset the car to factory, is that true miles to e number or will it change as driving habits get recorded by the car?

Anyone know the part number for the rear wiper motor cover for a 2011 Escape? I broke mine trying to remove it to replace the motor and can’t seem to find the part anywhere.

Bonus points if you know where I can get it in Canada! Thanks

I've changed a lot of tires and I've never ran into this. I got the lug nuts off and everything but the tire just won't budge. Could it just be corosion? If so does anyone have any tricks? I've sprayed it down with WD-40 already.

Loving my new 2024 escape! Bought in brand new, currently has 4500kms on it, and I noticed a roughly 10cm crack in the windshield, at the bottom near the passengers wiper blade.

No rock hits or anything, I avoid gravel roads like the plague. I do drive on a lot of bumpy road because of poor road maintenance.

I’ve seen a few things with older escapes having this issue, apparently it’s an incorrectly installed cover? Anyone else experience this? I’m assuming replacement is covered under warranty?

I have a 2016 ford titanium 2.0 - 110k miles, transmission is working fine but recently I started having tranmission fluid issues. Someone is offering a Honda Civic 2016 EX excellent condition 75kmiles + $1200 in favor of him. Should I go for it?

Hey guys so I got my my car checked what it needs for saftey Left side rocker the rear right side rocker are both rotton both front inner tire rod ends 1 tire , front brakes and rear brake service 1100$ for everything other then the rockers including labour's and saftey. I'm going to have to bring the car into a body shop for the rockers to get fixed for it to pass the saftey. I was wondering if anybody with experience in this knows what a good price would be for the two rockers in Ontario Canada ? I'm assuming if its not every rocker it will cost less but the labour and welding will be majority of the cost ? But the Body shop is closed for the weekend so can't get a estimate for 2 days ! This is my first vehicle so this is all pretty new to me going to be driving it 3500 KM to Alberta in 2 weeks so it needs to be fixed

I have a 23 FEH. Recently learned that it can be connected to Wi-Fi. Is there any reason to do this? Doesn’t the Sync system receive updates over the air?

Any suggestion’s on what to buy next? I’ve driven a 2011 Escape XLT V6 3.0 for the last 11 years and I love power, hauling capacity, tech etc. What should I get next? I’m looking at Bronco Sport but not the same. I can’t find any small SUV V6. 2012 Escape with low mileage?

Does anyone know what could be wrong?

I’ve had my 2016 Ford Escape for a year now, everything worked fine up until a few months ago, I’ve tried resetting it with the power and seek forward button but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

It used to just take 30 minutes to turn on, but now it rarely turns on, the audio will kick on but the screen won’t, when the screen does turn on it’s momentarily and then it like shuts off after flashing strips of different colors. When it does come on the touch screen and everything doesn’t work and it’s laggy.

Are there any connections anywhere that are easily accessible that I can check or a fuse somewhere?
