Q: Yellow symbol on ford escape?
I just got a used ford escape. It is in veryy good condition but i was driving and this weird yellow symbol came on my dashboard. It is almost a rectangle but missing a corner and has three spots where there a raised edge on the rectangle. [bad description i know] I don’t have an owners manual right now. Any ideas?

A: Based on that description I couldn’t guess which symbol you’re describing.
I would have looked it up for you but you didn’t tell us what year the Escape is so therefor I will just give you the Ford-Owner Resource site
From there you can download the complete owners manual for the Escape and all the symbols will be explained.
You will probably want the rest of the manuals any way , right?

Just go to this site, ( http://www.genuineservice.com/genuineservice/en/default?page=Home ) submit your year, make, model & Voila! Instant free owners manual!
I hope this helps

Q: How to replace a Ford Escape stereo?
I recently bought a used ‘02 Ford Escape. The CD player did not work, so my husband bought me a new Kenwood car stereo. We had to pry the old one out of the dash. Now my key less entry won’t work and the key has to be on or motor running to lock/unlock the doors. We wired the new stereo but it won’t power on. HELP!!!

A: Check all of your fuses!!!!!In the car and under the hood.Hopefully he used an adapter plug and didn’t cut the factory plug off.Most likely you blew a fuse.Good Luck,and next time let a professional do it.

Q: Which is better, toyota corolla or ford escape?
needing some help. right now, i have a 1999 toyota corolla. it’s in fairly good condition. my parents have decided to buy my sister’s used 2002 ford escape. i get to decide to either keep my corrolla or take the escape. i’m having problems deciding.

so, i thought i would post a question asking for your opinion.

Q: What is the longevity (mileage wise) of a Ford Escape, specifically a 2001 or 2003?
I am looking into purchasing a used 2001 or 2003 Ford Escape and have found a few that differ in mileage. The one I like the best has the highest mileage but I was curious how many miles these things can go for … 150k? 200k?

A: depends on the owner regular maintance and just used to drive they will run for 250k+ but you will have to replace some parts that do wear out with tat many miles and so on but the motors will run forever

Q: Ford Suv, im looking to buy a 2007 Edge or a 2008 Escape used with low km for under 20k Canadian.?
Which one would you recommend for mostly city driving, performance and comfort.

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.enacre.net

Q: Escape Hybrid used as a back-up generator?
My wife & I will be buying a used Ford Escape Hybrid in the next few months (if we can find one). We also would like to have a generator so we’ll have power when it goes out (it does too often). Is it possible to run power from the Escape Hybrid to my breaker box just like I would with a back-up generator? I assume I would need a very large inverter. I have seen many big inverters that convert 12 volts or 24 volts to 110/220 but the battery pack in the Escape Hybrid is ALOT more than 12 or 24 volts. I really think this would be a sweet system because I wouldn’t need to run the generator nonstop in order to have power. It would use the battery power until it began getting low, then the gas engine (generator) would start up – just as if you were driving. I would assume this would provide my home with more power than a $500 generator. Anyhoo, is this possible? Any knowledgeable input would be appreciated. Thanx!

A: You would be better off buying a gas generator.

I’m not sure what voltage the electric motor runs off of, but good luck finding an inverter other than a 12 or 24V unit. Then you need to look at what you will be powering: fridge, heater/ac, maybe microwave, couple lights. A fullsize fridge alone will drain batteries powering an inverter pretty fast. Then think of the fuel to run a 4-cylinder engine.

Purchase a generator, I would say at least 2500W. The best thing to do is look and see how much your appliances use, add up the fridge, a few light bulbs, maybe your TV… Just whatever will need to be turned on while on gen power, and add it up, Then get a bigger generator than that. Go for a generator that produces 240V (your haouse brings in 2 legs of 120V at different phases to produce 240). The way houses are wired, half runs off of one leg, the other half runs of the other leg. You could hook both legs to 1 on the gen, but anything that runs on 240V power will not work.

If you buy a generator with electric start, you could get an automatic switch gear, so when the power goes out, it automatically starts the gen and switches over to temporary power, when your main service comes back to life it will switch over and shut the gen off.

Q: anyone know that life expectancy on a Ford Escape?
I have been looking to buy a USED Ford Escape yr models 2002-2004. The problem is the miles I have found seem to be pretty high, like 110k up to 165k. My concern is should I buy with these high miles or is the Ford Escape reliable for a long time? Anyone know the life expectancy… I could really use some advise – have been all over the internet trying to find info and can’t find what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance for any info

A: It will last till the day it dies, lol. There is no guarantee on any car. I have seen Towncars with 300k+ and running strong and honda’s with 100k that have blown head gaskets. Most any car built these days will last well over 200k if properly taken care of from day 1. Most good cars with high miles are one-owner cars. They have lots of money invested in them since they bought them brand new and take care of them.

Q: How Do I Use Cruise Control on My 2001 Ford Escape?
I have a 2001 Ford Escape, and I read the manual, but I still do not understand how the cruise control works, or how to use it. I am not even sure if it is called “cruise control”, it’s those buttons on the steering wheel that say on/off, resume, accel, and cruise.

A: What I do no my Ford is this:: As soon as I start the car, I turn the cruise control ON. When I get to the speed I want on the freeway, I simply push the SET button. Your done. If you have to stop for any reason, you can hit RESUME# when you get above 35/40 MPH. I usually wait until I get to around the correst speed. Good Luck

Q: 2005 Ford Escape XLS 4cyl Engine Life?
i just purchased a used 2005 ford escape 2.3l I4 4×4 auto transmission, it was a company vehicle for the past 2 years and they managed to put 77,000 miles on it. I also just put new 18″ rims and new 265 tires on it which i sit up higher now. Will it have to much pull on my engine?? How many miles can i expect to get out of my car? THANKS

A: Well, with the new tires, you will be just fine so long as your foot isn’t partially made of lead. Another thing to consider is, why did this company sell the vehicle, there had to be something that caused them to want to rid themselves of it. Another thing is, what kind of company was it, and how big was the company, a large company will have a maintenance schedule for the vehicle and have a specific mechanic that all their vehicles are taken to when an issue arises, a small company has employee’s who drive the heck out of a vehicle and the company doesn’t invest a whole lot of time or money in doing proper maintenance on them.

Now, moving past that, you can expect your vehicle to last as long as you are willing to take care of it. Do your oil changes every 3 moths or 3,000 miles, get your scheduled transmission services, your tune ups, and generally keep up on your vehicle, and it will last you a long long time. Every morning, do a walk around, check under for leaks, check around and just look at all you can, make sure everything looks ok. Every time you fill up with gas, check your oil while you are there. Find one specific brand and kind of oil and use it in your vehicle, and always have a quart on hand in case you need to top it off. Don’t forget to check your transmission fluid. Always after being warmed up and driven, and idling in park.

I have an 84 Chevy Suburban with a 6.2 diesel engine, and she runs like a dream, and she’ll keep running, so long as I take care of her. Just treat your vehicle right, don’t take the cheap quick fix if something is wrong, and you and your vehicle will be happy for a long time together.
