I see more and more people are having problems of replacing the egr valve on their 2001 Ford Escape. I replaced mine twice and the dpfe sensor twice and just had the computer replaced at just under 42000 miles. There is too many problems with this model year and the warranty is up.. they (Ford) make so these cheap parts last until warranty expires, so the consumer has to pay I bought Ford all my life but I'm having second thought after this buy.

There were numerous problems. The egr sensor (dpfe) was replaced along with the sop driver side outer belt molding, fuel pump, sway bar links and iac. There was a loud noise coming from the driver's side window, water leaked around the tailgate window, the vehicle was hard to start, the iac was sticking, the driver's side window squeaked and rattled, the vehicle hesitated upon starting, there was play in the front sway bar links, the coolant light stayed on, there was a crack around the oil pan and the oil drain plug was problematic, and the accelerator pedal was sticking.

Engine check light indicated that that egr sensor needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced this sensor and the egr pressure valve. The dealer claimed that Ford knew that this was a problem after production, so they produced a new sensor. At the minimum, a tsb should have been issued.
