#92 of 150 noisy heat shields by cgb002 Oct 23, 2007 (5:06 am)
My 2008 sure seems to make a lot of heat shield type noise. When its first starts, when its stopped. Just clicking away. Doesn't sound very good.

Replying to: mb789 (Sep 30, 2007 11:23 am) Hi,  I am replying to your msg about Escape verses Jeep Liberty. I don't know if you made your choice already but if I could change my purchase, I would go for the Jeep Liberty. They are far more of a machine than the Escape. They also burn more gas. But if you want reliability and good off-roading with good traction, that's the way to go. I ended up buying a 2007 Limited Escape..... I wish I hadn't.   For hwy driving and city driving the Escape is good enough. Janr Replies to this message: mb789 (Oct 23, 2007 4:51 pm) ron1958 (Oct 24, 2007 5:15 am)

Replying to: janr (Oct 23, 2007 10:00 am) Thanks for your reply. I have not purchased anything yet.   I am still considering the Escape along with a Subaru Forester w/premium package, and I'm still considering the Jeep Wrangler and Liberty as well.   What is it that you don't like about the Escape? Do you have the 4 cylinder or 6?   To help with fuel, I am hoping to find a 4 cylinder 4WD/AWD that I would be happy with. I like Subaru, but I would like to buy something made here in the U.S.   I have been impressed lately with what seems to me to be the innovative stance Ford is taking. Their prior Escapes had safety issues, and with the new Escapes, they've worked to improve and fix these issues.   Plus, I read two automotive articles recently from different sources, and they both referenced people from Ford that were discussing certain industry topics such as the future of paint colors.   I like it that Ford is out there talking and giving input in the industry. Even though some experts sayd Ford is in bad shape, to me, they are trying hard to put out quality products that are innovative, safe, and fresh.

Replying to: mb789 (Oct 23, 2007 4:51 pm) I bought a 2008 Escape back in March when they first hit the showrooms. I can tell you it is an awesome vehicle for the price. I have the FWD 4cyl XLT. The ride is great, it handles good and is quiet. My wife owns a 2004 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe, and she likes to drive the Escape over the Honda. I have 4500 miles on the Escape to date, no problems or issues whatsoever. I am averaging 25-26 mpg as displayed on the computer. I would buy one of these again in a flash. Ford has come a long way in innovation and quality control with this new Escape.
#96 of 150 Re: Im still stuck on Sync [fomocona] by jared_mc Oct 24, 2007 (6:16 am)
Replying to: fomocona (Oct 09, 2007 4:49 am) Well I understand that the Sync system will be offered on the models made in 2008 but I dont believe it is fair that the early opters who first supported the new vehicle when it was first released should be left out. Will we be able to get this system added to our existing cars or will be left out? That is the real question I wanted to know.
#97 of 150 SYNC is not possible after market. by mschmal Oct 28, 2007 (8:41 am)
The Sync system is wired to every electrical system in the vehicle and can not be added after the fact.   Future Sync applications (which will be available to previous owners through updates) will provide the same type of features as OnStar.   Mark.

Replying to: mschmal (Oct 28, 2007 8:41 am) Hello, Mark...   If it's true that SYNC will become Ford's answer to GM's OnStar, in future, then I DEFINITELY would purchase a Ford in time!   Just how long in future do you think SYNC will become the "new" OnStar, so to speak?   Peace!<-AladdinSane- -
#99 of 150 Re: 2008 brake noise [cgb002] by yvonnie01 Nov 01, 2007 (1:07 pm)
Replying to: cgb002 (Sep 07, 2007 6:58 am) I bought a 2008 Escape in June. After about a week, I noticed a grinding noise when I take right hand curves at about 20-25 MPH. Is this the same type of noise you heard, and if so, did you get it fixed? I've had my car at the dealer 3 times and they can't "duplicate" the noise therefore nothing has been fixed on my car. I'm taking it to a different Ford dealer, but would like to know if you have any more information I can give them to help resolve this problem. Any thoughts? Thanks.

#100 of 150 FWD V. AWD by desmo1 Dec 06, 2007 (1:32 pm)
We are going to buy an 08 Escape Limited in a few months and would like to know what you can tell me about the following.   Has anyone here had (or heard of) problems with the AWD system? If so, what kind of problems?   How does the gas mileage compare between the AWD and the FWD?   Thanks! Replies to this message: coolbeansoh (Dec 06, 2007 3:08 pm) desmo1 (Dec 06, 2007 5:56 pm)
