2011 Ford Escape - Not worth the money

I purchased my vehicle brand new in July of 2011. It was my first brand new vehicle. I loved it until the next month when I was on the interstate in traffic. It was August so I of course had the air conditioning on. After sitting in traffic for about 5 minutes I noticed that every time I pushed on the gas pedal the transmission would jerk. It did this for the next 20 minutes I was in traffic. I took the car in for service and was told that nothing was wrong with it. After driving the car for another year with the same problem it got worse. I was on the interstate going 65 and the car engine revved up on it's own and came to a sudden stop on it's own, and I was almost rear-ended.

Story

Driving around in the summer with my sunroof open and my music up!

Pros

Nice body style and I love all of the included options with the limited edition.

Cons

It doesn't have a button to pop the hatch. You can only pop it from the handle. No back seat air vents.

2001 Ford Escape - Ford Escape problems

This vehicle may have been a great car in its day, but as the years have gone on, many issues have arisen with this car. Since the day I got this vehicle (used), something has broken monthly. When I had spent almost what I paid for just in repairs, I knew it was time to get rid of it. I had a good run with this car. It is a good-looking vehicle, and the storage comes in handy.

Story

I used this vehicle to move my stuff when I bought my new home. I made several trips in this car. It was a happy moving day.

Pros

I like the overall look of the vehicle, specifically the exterior. When everything is in working order, the vehicle runs great. It is also a good utility vehicle because you can fit a lot of stuff in the back if you need to. I used this car to move my belongings when I moved to a new home.

Cons

The interior of the vehicle kept falling off, even after multiple applications of spray fabric adhesive. Many things went wrong with the car itself. I had to have the starter replaced. The Cadillac converters went bad, and my check engine light was on constantly. This is when I resold it. It was just going to cost way too much for me to have it replaced. I decided it was not worth the trouble or the money.
