Q: Ford Escape?
My current lease on my car is going to be up next year, and I was wondering if any of you have driven the Ford Escape, or own it? Do you enjoy driving it? I'll probably buy it this time around now that i'm making more money. So looking for honest opinions on the car....I went to look at them the other weekend and thought they were cute. Thanks!
A: i work on them pretty regularly as long as you keep up on the maintenance they are fairly reliable vehicles 4 wheel drives have less tire wear issues than 2wd ones but other than that they are a good vehicle
Q: ford escape?

Q: What is the best and cheapest way to add freon to your 2003 Ford Escape?
I have a 2003 Ford Escape XLT. Recently, the air conditioning has started taking a little longer to cool down the car. The air flow just doesn't seem as cold as it usually does. After driving for a short while, the air finally gets cold. Does this mean that the vehicle needs more freon? The air conditioner has never been serviced, so is this a possibility? How much does it cost? Where is the best and cheapest place to have this done? Thanks!
The extended warranty on the vehicle has already expired since the vehicle has over 70K+ miles.
A: You probably do not have a problem. Remember it is summer and a car that has been sitting in the sun all day absorbs a ton of heat.
Ambient (air temperature) will play a critical role in how long your Escape will take to cool down the interior. I recommend that after you drive a while and the car starts to cool off on a real hot and humid day, insert a thermometer (a/c thermometer from auto parts store)in the center dash vents and the temp should be in the 40's with blower on medium.
On a cooler less humid day the truck will cool down faster. Until the truck cools down, do not run the a/c on max, this is a recirculate mode that re-cools the already cool air in your vehicle
If this is not the case, when the a/c is on, verify that the compressor is turning all the time and the electric fan is on. If the compressor cycles on and off you probably have a leak and need to get the truck serviced by a reputable facility or your local Ford dealer
Q: How to replace the gray trim moldings on my Ford Escape w/ black?
I have a 2001 Ford Escape, which comes with your general factory stock gray trim moldings (ugh). But I'm going to put a black brush guard on mine, and would rather there be black trim than the gray. Where can I buy the ENTIRE set for my Escape?
And please don't recommend painting. Past experience says that plastic paint isn't the most efficient. Thanks.
A: try LMC.com
Q: How to remove Water from underneath a 2005 Ford Escape Car Carpet?
Im driving a 2005 Ford Escape and i left my car door ajar and LOTS of rain water got in. I sucked most of it up with a Wet Vac so now the carpets dry to the touch but there's still water underneath it. So how would i get rid of the water trapped underneath it???????
A: Remove the carpet and vacuum up the rest
Keep the fan on high and blowing on the floor and it will speed up evaporation.
You obviously live where its warmer.
It will evaporate fairly quickly by itself
Put a small household fan in there overnight to also speed evaporation
Q: is it possible to get a remote start installed on a 2010 ford escape?
i'm broke so we bought the basic 2010 ford escape. it doesn't come with a remote start on it, but i wanted to get one installed. about how much would it cost? and is it even possible?
A: As long as it's automatic.
You can't install a remote start on a manual car because the neutral safety switch is the clutch, which has to be pressed down for the car to start. In automatics, its just having it in "P" for Park.
I think Advance Auto has a Do It Yourself, or Install It Yourself rather, but its like $400. I'm unsure of the average costs but it cant be too cheap.
Q: How to make a 2008 Ford Escape look cool?
I have a silver 2008 ford escape, chrome grille on front. I already have 5% tints on all windows but the front windshield. What else should I do or get?
A: Well what kind of cool do you like? If you like the "Truck" look, then get a bush bar on the front with some BIG PIAA lights on it.
If you like the "PIMP" look, then you can get some new rims, or start looking into getting a lowering kit or puttin it on bags.
Q: Can the average person fix a problem on the latest years of the Ford Escape?
I'm thinking of buying a 2007 or 2008 model Ford Escape. Can the average person change the water pump, thermostat, alternator, starter, or brakes on these newer cars? I've fixed these things myself on my 1998 Rodeo and want to be able to do the same with the Ford Escape.
A: If you have been able to handle the problems with a 98 Rodeo, then you might be able to resolve the problems that you will face with a newer vehicle. The major difference will be in recovering codes that will set due to sensor malfunctions. Then being able to interpret the code to perform the repair. Diagnostics's is a field that requires more knowledge than the average person possesses. I've been at it for over forty years and get stumped every once in a while. I feel for the person that tries to understand to days cars with all of the new technology. Good Luck
Q: Could you install a Ford Escape engine in a Ford Windstar minivan?
I own a 2000 Ford Windstar and would like to know if I could install a Hybride Ford Escape engine in it. I am puzzled with the fact that in America there is no type of Hybride minivan but plenty of Hybride SUV. Could anyone help?
A: Yes it is possible,.
Q: How hard is it to install a trailor hitch to a 02 Ford Escape?
I have a 2002 Ford Escape that does not have the towing package. I just boat a boat and now need to pick it up. What all do I need? How hard is it?
A: Most of the hitch manufacturers have a hitch that will work, and most are pretty cheap. But be prepared to removed some hardware and FOLLOW the directions. I once had a bolt come loose from the guide wire and a 1.5 hour install turned into 3+ freaking hours under my wife's new car. (I felt like taking it back to the dealer). With Fords, the hitch is pretty easy, but check to see if you can get an inexpensive wiring harness too. Our old Taurus' harness was outrageous and I ended up finding a wiring 'workaround."
