problem #3

Nov 162011

Escape XLT 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles

My 2005 Escape is lousy on fuel mileage. I make sure tires are properly inflated and every once in a while I run 89 octane for a little extra mileage. Now my Escape has oil leaks and check engine codes for fuel related issues. Never again will I own a Ford Escape.

problem #1

Nov 182007

Escape

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,210 miles

I bought my 05 Escape in Nov 07 with a few miles over 26,000. Was explained to me fuel mileage would run around 20mpg. This vehicle is a monster on gas! I live in town and put approx 15 miles per day. My fuel mileage? 9mpg.

Ive taken it to Ford dealer with no positive results. All I'm told is 'the computer tells us you are getting 21.7 mpg". That is sooooooooooooo off base. The highest I've ever been able to get is 12. The dealer is definitely not interested in listening to me or in addressing my concerns. Am very frustrated!
