I'm absolutely loving my 2011 Ford Escape! I'm a woman and I can do a lot of the work myself! I get 29 mpg, and I need to replace the EVAPE PURGE, which I can replace myself!!! And it's only going to cost me $41. I'm 57 disabled Old gal, so that's a win for me!
I've only had this one for 3 months. I bought it used, $300 a month. I only make $889 a month on disabity, get $95 a month for my 16 year old daughter. I let my husband drive it, he says it's like driving a go cart! Yeah his old Chevy gets maybe 11 mpg, I'll stick with my go-cart, Thank You!
@@fishinteddybear3614 trusty but rusty we have a 12 soild gas mpg v6 But every single one you see in Minnesota those years are rusted in the rear wheel Wells most American made trucks are as well too something bad they did those years
Good for you fixing it yourself!! I'm not an auto mechanic by trade, but I have been wrenching since before I could legally drive back in the 70s. I could go on with personal bad experiences with mechanics. I'll keep doing it myself as long as my health lets me.
I still have my 2011. Almost at 150k miles and it’s still running fine. My check engine light has been on for years now lol. It’s the evap purge valve and has never even given me a code so I just live with it. We don’t have emissions where I live so
My company has five Ford Escapes in our fleet, and they get between 28 and 32 MPG. Admittedly those are highway miles but we are very happy with the cars.
Mom has a 2013 Ecoboost Escape it has 160,000 miles she has had no problems with it. She has owned it since brand new it's a city car she delivers medical supplies and has been driven hard stop and go .... Those Ecoboosts are great engines despite what Scotty says about them.
My 1988 Thunderbird with the 5.0 liter V8 got 28 mpg city and 32 on the highway. And I ran it like a beast. Lasted 246,000 miles. Ford has gone backwards since then.
I had an '86 T Bird Turbo Coupe & while it wasn't a V8, for a 2.4 ltr. 4 cyl. w/ a turbo it was a "BLAST" to drive. Yes, Ford has derailed since then. 😲😲😲
I had a 1989 Crown Vic with that 302 and I did almost all highway driving at the time; and yeah I could easily get in the mid/high 20s for mpg if I drove reasonably. And believe me, when the fuel gauge broke I got VERY in to tracking my fuel economy!
As a (retired) ASE tech, I wasn't thrilled about my wife getting the 4cyl. w/turbo because I know the cons but... It was what she wanted and there are some pros, primarily the gad milage. We have a 2018 GMC Terrain, bought new and she gets about 32mpg, which ain't too shabby for an SUV. The thing I do make sure happens is that every time she has the oil changed, A) they use the right oil and most importantly, B) which is to disable the fuel system and prime the turbo before restarting the engine. Dry starting turbos (yes, some purport to "stay wet" and be less susceptible to damage) because starting *any* turbo after draining the oil can lead to premature wear and early replacement. The early Ford turbo (i.e. the mustang in the early 80s) chewed up turbos and spit them out after 20k miles or less. It's not as bad now but still a huge difference if you don't dry start your turbocharged car. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
@@James-il3tq Nope, just driving back and forth to work. I just checked and i stand corrected, max was 32mpg, no hybrid. The savings in gas will help pay for the early rebuild later (and she gets the GMC extended warranty). I told her about it and she'd rather save the money on gas now. It is what it is. And I can live with it.
You should know if your truly a retired mechanic, is to keep thoes lube monkeys paws far.. FAR away from your wife's car... They are going to use generic bulk oil. And a crap filter.Unless you physically can't change oil, why on earth would a let your wife buy a poor track record GM product? I suppose if your truly a good mechanic, it's not too bad. Just be ready for that timing chain and top up the oil often!
My sister has that same car. We have taken it on several long road trips and it ran perfectly fine, even up high mountain grades. Oddly enough her car has the same evap problem. They mechanic said it was very common with that car/engine. Her car wouldn't start after putting gas in it unless she waited a couple of minutes to start it up. I think she's got it fixed now.
The Ford evap valves for most 20xx Ford SUVs is known to fail. It's an electrical connector and I think 2 bolts, extremely easy to reach under the hood and takes 3 minutes to swap. $20 part, too. No reason not to replace them if there's an evap code!
My wife has a 2020 Edge with the 2.0 ecoboost and just FWD. We both tend to drive gently and I over maintain my vehicles with fluid and filter changes more often than the factory recommends. Her car gets 27 combined and usually 33 hiway. My new AWD FX4 Maverick with the same motor and 8 speed trans gets about the same. We're quite happy with that. Love your shows Scotty! Keep up the good work!
Scotty, it's the purge valve stuck open. Unable to bleed up fuel tank and rich condition? Pull the valve and blow through it I bet it's stuck open. Tap it on the bench and try again. Bet it closed. $30 bucks for the new valve. Cheers!
Brian, you are 100% correct. The normally closed purge valve on the engine is stuck open. And only gets tested above 41deg f. And there is no evap system pump on this Scotty. Only on hybrid Fords will you find an evap pump. To test the purge valve read your ftp volts at key on engine off with scanner. A good value is 2.61v. With engine idling the ftp should not drop in voltage. If it does the purge is flowing assuming the valve is not being commanded on. Unplug the 2 wire connector on the valve to verify. Replace the purge valve if the results are not as described above.
Yea that’s all that’s wrong with mine. The stupid purge valve up on the throttle body. I really should get around to changing it so I can take the black electrical tape off my dash lol
For me I don't trust EcoBoost engines at all. I definitely trust the Coyote V8 wayyyyyyy more than any EcoBoost engine out there as far as reliability goes.
I have a 2015 F150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost with 264,000 miles. It's been tuned for 100k of those miles and still ticks along. I did replace the driver side turbo and got a low mileage used one from LKQ. $300 and 45 minutes later it was back running as smooth as a sewing machine. Not bad.
@@CJColvin Overall? Those engines were very simple so probably not. Truthfully most modern engines probably won't be as reliable as those given that new engines are pushing a much higher power density plus being far more electronically controlled.
My old Mustang with the 289 v8 and 3 speed auto got 25 on the highway and was happy with that. My wife's 07 outlander with a 3 liter v6 150K miles is rated at 27 mpg, one day I drove it easy and it said we got 29 for that trip. I will probably never buy another new car.
It is a good thing he Brakes, for Dodge Dealerships. Otherwise, you might have been run the hell over. Under the right circumstances, you might have been a "Shooting Starr," which could be "Hazzard"ous to your Health, "General Lee" speaking.
No modern car has a problem passing people or merging. On top of that, you’d be better off taking it slower in most situations. People are stupid and think they need more power and they don’t. People need more patience not power.
Got 2013 Fiesta 1.0L ecoboost. I did 150k km on it and done nothing but changing engil oil every year. I did chip tunned it tho. Ist 150bhp (origianlly 100). That may seem crazy but nothing ever broke. I love the way it drives. I can get an amazing gas milage and not strain the engine when driving conservatively and when needed its super zippy and fun.
I have an evap code on my 07 Honda Accord and even though Colorado does emissions testing my car is too old for the engine light regulation and as long as I pass the dymo test I'm good.
My mom had a Barracuda! This was about 1972. This was before I had a clue about cars and just wanted to have one to get out of the house. I had just turned 16. Anyway.......it was 2-door. Yellow with a flowery looking vinyl roof. It was soooooo cool looking and I loved driving it. Mom took it to a dealer and traded it in for a different car just for me.....a 1970 Ford Pinto hatchback. 🤔
Parents had a Dodge station wagon with the 225 Six. Had pushbuttons for gearshifting. Another long lasting car. I also had a 67 barracuda with a ‘70 340 dropped in it. 4 speed and no power draining extras. I REALLY regret selling it!
This video reminds us that there's always new technology out there that we are always going to spend our money on, I wonder how many people are financially capable to keep up with the waves of new technology coming up
when the battery's low on a Lincoln LS the electronics go ape, pop, your trunk lowers your windows, opens your moonroof, horn go off lights blink off and on
Scotty we bought a 2018 1.5 escape 30k miles used. The torque converter failed. Those 1.5 ecoboosts are known to blow head gaskets also. That’s why In 2019 they went with a 3 cylinder 1.5
A friend of mine just had the transmission fail on his 2014 Escape Titanium 1.6 at ~120k miles. Cars are so expensive now, he is going to suck it up and put in a replacement with a 3 year warranty.
My 2002 Rav4 AWD with a 2.0 liter only gets about 20 mpg. I'm pretty happy with that since the AWD comes in really handy getting me through the snow during the winter months here in Canada. The only car I owned that got mind-blowing gas millage was a 2005 VW Passat TDI (full size sedan that could actually seat 5 people ~ 4 adults and a child). Driving from Calgary to Vancouver I could average 48~49 mpg and even 51 mpg at times. Nice thing is back in 2005 the VW Passat also came with a full size spare as well! Expensive to repair though if you had any major engine or transmission problems.
Most modern engines are not only unreliable, but not particularly efficient either. My 3800 Grand Prix gets 30 mpg on the highway regularly. and I paid less than 7k for it with low miles.
Modern engines are way more reliable than old engines. Well, depends on how old we’re talking. Back in the 60s and 70s you’d be lucky to get 100k miles from a car. Even crappy GMs can usually make 100k now.
My moms got a 2012 excape with 160000k on it. Had no work done. My dad always makes jokes about how ford sucks for some reason. His 2010 chevy hhr constantly needs work done. Ford over chevy any day
2012 was the last year escapes weren’t junk. 2009 hybrid escape went almost 210k miles before transmission finally started giving out last year and the ac quit. Overall tho, was a great vehicle and reliable
@@talisikid1618 you do realize the generation of escape she’s talking about was engineered by Mazda, built on the old Mazda GS platform and had the Mazda mzr 4 banger right lol
I had one of those and I traded it in for a current type RAV4 AWD Hybrid. The only reason I traded it in was that the RAV4 has AWD. And I tow a camping trailer. That was the main reason why I picked the Toyota. The Ford Kuga (Escape where you are) sometimes had problems (only 2 wheel drive) with traction while in the grass or on gravel. Other than that, the Ford had a more solid drive and had a lot more silent engine than the RAV4. Quality wise both cars are about the same I guess. However, the Toyota is NOT a drivers car, the Ford on the other hand is. My RAV4 is now almost three years old and I’m happy with it, no need to trade it is at all. Greetings from Hekelingen, Holland. Bye, Willem.
I had a 2010 Ford Edge, it was beautiful black on black. V6 abs ran great, awesome gas mileage. Loved it. I needed a truck and traded for a 2014 Honda Ridgeline that I really loved. I’d still be driving one if they hadn’t ruined the ridgeline. But my edge was awesome.
My gm suv naturally aspirated 4cyl gets like 25-28 consistently and it’s shaped like a brick. Wish ford hadn’t ruined the ranger, and a little excited for the maverick since all the “mini trucks” are now considered mid size. Loved my 2010 ranger when I had it.
Scotty, the evaporator pump is under the emissions warranty. Might as well change that system. That is the reason for the extra long forced emissions warranties on all vehicles. Plus time for fuel line filter replacement. The electric fuel pump will love your for it. Last longer and is not under stress with old fuel filter partially clogged.
This was built down the street from me. I've seen literally thousands of Escapes, Expeditions, Navigators, and huge F-450s over the past several years. But, all this over computerized, over electronic cluster f--- is why I just don't really like 90+% of cars or trucks built in the past decade. That junk just doesn't hold up over time and even Toyota and Honda reliability is suffering due to it. There's just something to be said about simplicity.
The airbag light on my 2004 Sequoia came on when it got really cold recently. Looked online and it is a fault that occurred with some other Sequoia owners during winter months. Only happened once, hasn't appeared since.
Battery, brakes, oil changes, and minor maintenance for my 2.0 Ecoboost and get 24mpg. No problems at all with 123k miles. I think I got a car made on a Monday or something.
The 2013-2016 EB 2.0 was a Mazda/Ford design, with better reliability and no start/stop button. The 2017-2019 Escape 2.0 is a Ford product with twin-scroll turbo and the stupid start/stop gadget. Unfortunately many of these also have the coolant intrusion issue.
I looked up that Xtool, is yours the pro (D8) @ $699, or the D7 ($479)? They seem to have several models available but doesn't work on everything. They ask that you email the VIN number to verify. I think it that it could reprogram keys.
I am a fan of these late-2010's Ford Escape's with the 2 L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine and 4WD. They are more reliable compared to the ones with the 1.5 L and 1.6 L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine - those engines had a lot of problems.
So this is why all the little suv drivers love to race me, when I drive my 27 year old Camaro convertible. One thing the new cars with never make 333,000 miles, same engine, tranny, rearend. And still 25 mpg.
The only Ford sedan I ever had that was not garbage was a 2001 Taurus. Windstar was garbage, Rangers were garbage. Fullsize Trucks were/are pretty good - I still have a 1990 F-250 that I bought for $800 in 2013. It isn't pretty, but it runs. 300 6-cyl
I have the same car but a 2018 titanium. I just had a new engine put in because of a very nasty leak between the cylinders and coolant chambers at 47k miles. It happens a lot with these escapes. Mostly within warranty, but still. Buyer beware...if your coolant starts to disappear and you get a code for the spark plugs, run to the dealership before that 60k mark. I still love my escape tho...I still drive her everyday. :)
Trouble is the overwidth tires on many, many new vehicles.. ,beside the ridiculous price, is they cause wind drag. Especially in the Winter.. they tend to push snow rather than cut through it and the extra width means less weight per square inch ... less traction. Not everyone needs Monster truck or Indy car profile tires. My two cents.
@@jamesvandamme7786Off hand, how many pounds is that? I do like that (at last check) Mazda still has real-geared automatic transmissions... I got 36MPG in an Outback but the CVT transmission was garbage and the blown head gasket at 89k finished it off.
My wife has had 2 Escapes, and now she drives an Edge with this same 2.0 Ecoboost , it’s a peppy engine in sport mode, but yes, it’s a pig on gas, you can see the needle go down as you drive, it’s terrible for gas mileage. I have a 2020 Camry, longest fuel average I seen was 47 miles per gallon, going 65, while on cruise control. Toyota for me, Fords for her 🤷🏼♂️
That's Why I Love Ford's, they NEVER BREAK DOWN unlike Toyota and Honda Garbage and to top it off, Ford Never Took a Dime of Bailout Money in 08 like Toyota and Honda and everyone else did. That's why they have so much better quality
I have the same escape year and model 57k miles, drove from Detroit to Atlanta round trip. I got 26.7 mpg. I also drive lyft in Michigan I get 22.6 mpg locally
I had a 2014 Ford escape titanium 2.0 ECO-boost engine and it slurped more fuel than my 2011 Ford RTR Conv. Mustang V8 5.0. Those turbocharged 4 cylinders ECO engines While peppy, use lots of fuel.
I have a 2013 Escape. It gets around 21 to 25MPG. Right around 100k miles the backup camera decided to display upside down and intermittently stops working. It's a good little SUV to take fishing 🙂
No ecoboosts, no turbo chargers, and nothing manufactured after 2008, for me anyway...Don't want the newer technology, or the planned obscolescence....Older Toyota's/lexus/and older Ford trucks, is what I'll stick with...No problems yet, but it only has 75K miles, problems are probably coming though...
All late model cars I don't know when it started I can't give you an exact date but they started only making them to last 150,000 miles Yes you can make them go further than that obviously depending on if you want to keep fixing everything and how well maintained it was to get to that 150,000 mile mark It's no longer a set amount of time it needs to last It's just $150,000 miles and they know that people hit that number a lot sooner nowadays too I don't know but if you look in your owners manual it'll tell you all the intervals that which they be service a lot of them end at $150,000 They don't tell you to do anything after $150
meanwhile the latest gen toyota rav4 is averaging 30+ mpg without being turbocharged and about the same size. The transmission will make a huge difference
That looks like the 2.0 turbo. I had an Escape just like this. My 4,000 pound Taurus gets the same mileage as the Escape did. The only edge was on a longer highway drive.
I had the same year Escape but it was an SE with the 2.0l motor. I would regularly get 28 to 31 mpg on the highway. I would set the CC on 72 and get that MPG all the time.
2017 Ford Escape - make sure that the recall is taken care of. It can hurt someone if you have a limb out a window and the up button is pushed by accident. The auto reverse fails and it crushes the arm instead. Not a good feeling. Otherwise it is a pretty good car.
I see people "covering the brake" as you just described quite often, their brake pad/rotor life must be terrible. Driver instructor to student: What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Spousal unit does that to a Prius. Gas-brakes-gas-brakes. 55MPG. Me: Gas, coast, coast, gas, coast, brake... 62+MPG for a full tank! In Los Angeles traffic, 70+MPG full tank! I drive like a grandma and am proud of it.
I feel like I am asking my dad a question that i know he will yell at me for. Here goes.. I have a Excursion 2000. love the car. How can I increase gas mileage? Are those " chips " any good. . In my circle of friends , I am the official boat hauler and official parent baseball team hauler. Just saying , so you don't tell me to have it crushed for recycle.
Just came back from the emissions inspection on my 2010 Ford Escape. The emission inspection station said they couldn't detect any emissions. They recommended driving 100 to 200 miles on the highway and bring it back. Never heard of this problem before.
My 2.0 EB got around 18-19 mpg in the city with average driving. About 27 mpg on the highway. All my friends with similar sized SUV from various brands get similar mileage because of city traffic.
Hi Scotty, I love your video's. They are very informative. I'm curious to know do you ever have any service work for an 08 Acura MDX? The SH-AWD CEL is on. I took it to the Acura dealership for a full diagnosis. They recommended a new rear fuse box/multiplex control unit as well as the fuse and relays as well as the A/C relay because the A/C needs to be manually turned on and off, the power steering feels tight, to be its a rough ride and the front heated seats do not work, nor the headrest dvd monitors that I know are aftermarket installed. This vehicle also has an aftermarket Code Alarm security system that added a remote start. All the aftermarket items were already installed at purchase by previous owners. I was advised by Acura that the multiplex control unit would fix all these issues with the fuses and relays, but while replacing that, they came and told me I needed a new wiring harness that costs $3500 because it has been chewed by rats and needs to be replaced as well. I agreed to do the first job which was about $900 with the diagnosis, but only charged me about $750 since I agreed to have the rear fuse box ordered and installed by Acura. After advising me about needing a new wire harness, Acura completed adding the rear fuse box. Nothing they advised me that would work once the multiplex control unit was installed worked like I expected. I don't understand why Acura didn't find out I needed a new wire harness initially with the full diagnostic as well as when they determined I needed a new multiplex control unit to explain that replacing the multiplex control unit wouldn't fix my issues? Yet, I digress. Does it need to be reprogrammed after the wiring harness installation or when the rear fuse box was installed? The SH-AWD CEL is still on and everything is still not working. Plus the day I drove it home, it was pouring down raining and I believe I got a little shock through the driver seat that wasn't on. 👀💯 Please help me. Since I had the multiplex control unit replaced, I thought the truck would work, but I'm not fortunate to purchase your recommended diagnosis tools, so I'm trusting your many years of knowledge and expertise to help me out. I know this inquiry is loaded, but I truly need your help. I recently purchased this vehicle and the used car lot was willing to pay the repair costs, but like me wondered why Acura didn't find the bad wiring harness when the full diagnosis was originally done, had we both known about it, we could have made different arrangements, but now too much time lapsed. Also, now since the Acura dealership worked on it, the used car dealers say that they don't know if Acura caused the wire harness issues. I don't know what happened, but the truck cranks up fine, the motor and transmission sounds good, it just doesn't have the Je ne sais quoi I know the Acura MDX with SH-AWD should have after driving my 2007 model since 02/2019 that someone hit me and damaged the front quarter panel and frame that totaled it. The 2008 steering wheel feels tight and the car feels heavy and I won't turn on the comfort/sport mode until it's properly repaired because I don't want to mess anything else up. I just need a reliable working vehicle that I don't believe is electrocuting me that everything's working as it should. I thank you for your consideration. Best regards, An humble UA-cam subscriber
If I could get Scotty Kilmers to check out my car with his huge $6000 dealer level scan tool I would drink the shot of whiskey and pack up the Hash Pipe with Rocky and get all schmoked up
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuff worm in flap-jaw space, with the tuning fork, does a raw flip on a hairy caring rock. I need scissors. 61 of them!
Them new tundras are boutta be the biggest letdown. If they had a V8 and no turbos or hybrid, it would’ve have been perfect 😭. Hybrid engines don’t belong in SUV/ big trucks
Scotty, Love the scan tool. My wife’s 2018, once pristine, Ford Escape with low mileage struck a deer that was moose size and it suffered $15,000 of damage. It is due back from the collision shop and with all that damage I want proof the vehicle systems are working. I think I want proof of the vehicle passing all the tests a proper scan tool will check before I accept. What are your thoughts and recommendations? Bill
Ford seems to have made garbage EVAP system components recently. My and my girlfriend's 2017 Mustangs trip those codes every couple of months. My mom's 2018 does as well.

Hey Scotty can you review Haval cars?
Hey Scotty can you make a video of you with your hands tied behind your back
I'm absolutely loving my 2011 Ford Escape! I'm a woman and I can do a lot of the work myself! I get 29 mpg, and I need to replace the EVAPE PURGE, which I can replace myself!!! And it's only going to cost me $41. I'm 57 disabled Old gal, so that's a win for me!
I've only had this one for 3 months. I bought it used, $300 a month. I only make $889 a month on disabity, get $95 a month for my 16 year old daughter.

Good for you fixing it yourself!!
I'm not an auto mechanic by trade, but I have been wrenching since before I could legally drive back in the 70s. I could go on with personal bad experiences with mechanics. I'll keep doing it myself as long as my health lets me.
I still have my 2011. Almost at 150k miles and it’s still running fine. My check engine light has been on for years now lol. It’s the evap purge valve and has never even given me a code so I just live with it. We don’t have emissions where I live so
My company has five Ford Escapes in our fleet, and they get between 28 and 32 MPG. Admittedly those are highway miles but we are very happy with the cars.

My 1988 Thunderbird with the 5.0 liter V8 got 28 mpg city and 32 on the highway. And I ran it like a beast. Lasted 246,000 miles.
Ford has gone backwards since then.

It's not as bad now but still a huge difference if you don't dry start your turbocharged car. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
Was that 35mpg all downhill? You need a hybrid SUV to get that fuel economy
@@James-il3tq
Nope, just driving back and forth to work. I just checked and i stand corrected, max was 32mpg, no hybrid. The savings in gas will help pay for the early rebuild later (and she gets the GMC extended warranty). I told her about it and she'd rather save the money on gas now.
It is what it is. And I can live with it.
You should know if your truly a retired mechanic, is to keep thoes lube monkeys paws far.. FAR away from your wife's car... They are going to use generic bulk oil. And a crap filter.Unless you physically can't change oil, why on earth would a let your wife buy a poor track record GM product? I suppose if your truly a good mechanic, it's not too bad. Just be ready for that timing chain and top up the oil often!
@@James-il3tq I get about 30 per gallon in my 2010 equinox, even thought it burns oil.
Curious how you do this with a new Escape 2.0 turbo that has pushbutton start? Wouldn't running the injectors low or out of fuel be bad too?
My sister has that same car. We have taken it on several long road trips and it ran perfectly fine, even up high mountain grades. Oddly enough her car has the same evap problem. They mechanic said it was very common with that car/engine. Her car wouldn't start after putting gas in it unless she waited a couple of minutes to start it up. I think she's got it fixed now.
The Ford evap valves for most 20xx Ford SUVs is known to fail. It's an electrical connector and I think 2 bolts, extremely easy to reach under the hood and takes 3 minutes to swap. $20 part, too. No reason not to replace them if there's an evap code!
So, it's not odd that you had the same issue as this one..lol
My wife has a 2020 Edge with the 2.0 ecoboost and just FWD. We both tend to drive gently and I over maintain my vehicles with fluid and filter changes more often than the factory recommends. Her car gets 27 combined and usually 33 hiway. My new AWD FX4 Maverick with the same motor and 8 speed trans gets about the same. We're quite happy with that. Love your shows Scotty! Keep up the good work!
Scotty, it's the purge valve stuck open. Unable to bleed up fuel tank and rich condition? Pull the valve and blow through it I bet it's stuck open. Tap it on the bench and try again. Bet it closed. $30 bucks for the new valve. Cheers!
Brian, you are 100% correct. The normally closed purge valve on the engine is stuck open. And only gets tested above 41deg f. And there is no evap system pump on this Scotty. Only on hybrid Fords will you find an evap pump. To test the purge valve read your ftp volts at key on engine off with scanner. A good value is 2.61v. With engine idling the ftp should not drop in voltage. If it does the purge is flowing assuming the valve is not being commanded on. Unplug the 2 wire connector on the valve to verify. Replace the purge valve if the results are not as described above.
Yea that’s all that’s wrong with mine. The stupid purge valve up on the throttle body. I really should get around to changing it so I can take the black electrical tape off my dash lol
For me I don't trust EcoBoost engines at all. I definitely trust the Coyote V8 wayyyyyyy more than any EcoBoost engine out there as far as reliability goes.
I have a 2015 F150 with the 2.7L EcoBoost with 264,000 miles. It's been tuned for 100k of those miles and still ticks along. I did replace the driver side turbo and got a low mileage used one from LKQ. $300 and 45 minutes later it was back running as smooth as a sewing machine. Not bad.
I just wish they didn't detune the coyote for the f150
@@angrywhistlingcock5209 Yeah but the question is will it outlast the 302 and 351 Windsor V8s.
@@tatsuhirosatou5513 the cotoye actually has a history of being less reliable than the EB engines on the newer f150's.
@@CJColvin Overall? Those engines were very simple so probably not. Truthfully most modern engines probably won't be as reliable as those given that new engines are pushing a much higher power density plus being far more electronically controlled.
My old Mustang with the 289 v8 and 3 speed auto got 25 on the highway and was happy with that. My wife's 07 outlander with a 3 liter v6 150K miles is rated at 27 mpg, one day I drove it easy and it said we got 29 for that trip. I will probably never buy another new car.

Got 2013 Fiesta 1.0L ecoboost. I did 150k km on it and done nothing but changing engil oil every year. I did chip tunned it tho. Ist 150bhp (origianlly 100). That may seem crazy but nothing ever broke. I love the way it drives. I can get an amazing gas milage and not strain the engine when driving conservatively and when needed its super zippy and fun.
I have an evap code on my 07 Honda Accord and even though Colorado does emissions testing my car is too old for the engine light regulation and as long as I pass the dymo test I'm good.
Had a 69 318 Barracuda. Drove it 250,000 miles and still ran great. Wish I hadnt sold it. It got well over 20mpg on highway.
Wish my 340 duster got that much 😪
My mom had a Barracuda! This was about 1972. This was before I had a clue about cars and just wanted to have one to get out of the house. I had just turned 16. Anyway.......it was 2-door. Yellow with a flowery looking vinyl roof. It was soooooo cool looking and I loved driving it. Mom took it to a dealer and traded it in for a different car just for me.....a 1970 Ford Pinto hatchback. 🤔
We had the same Baccaruda (Barracuda) and that 318 was an absolute beast. That and the slant 6 were Chrysler’s best engines.
Parents had a Dodge station wagon with the 225 Six. Had pushbuttons for gearshifting. Another long lasting car. I also had a 67 barracuda with a ‘70 340 dropped in it. 4 speed and no power draining extras. I REALLY regret selling it!
EVAP code on my 2003 caravan usually means loose gas cap or a leak in the evap hoses or canister.

My 2017 Ford Escape 2.0 EcoBoost AWD with 111k miles has not had any problems 🤞🏽
Just about time for transmission replacement
Scotty we bought a 2018 1.5 escape 30k miles used. The torque converter failed. Those 1.5 ecoboosts are known to blow head gaskets also. That’s why In 2019 they went with a 3 cylinder 1.5
A friend of mine just had the transmission fail on his 2014 Escape Titanium 1.6 at ~120k miles. Cars are so expensive now, he is going to suck it up and put in a replacement with a 3 year warranty.
My 2002 Rav4 AWD with a 2.0 liter only gets about 20 mpg. I'm pretty happy with that since the AWD comes in really handy getting me through the snow during the winter months here in Canada.
The only car I owned that got mind-blowing gas millage was a 2005 VW Passat TDI (full size sedan that could actually seat 5 people ~ 4 adults and a child). Driving from Calgary to Vancouver I could average 48~49 mpg and even 51 mpg at times. Nice thing is back in 2005 the VW Passat also came with a full size spare as well! Expensive to repair though if you had any major engine or transmission problems.
Most modern engines are not only unreliable, but not particularly efficient either. My 3800 Grand Prix gets 30 mpg on the highway regularly. and I paid less than 7k for it with low miles.
Modern engines are way more reliable than old engines. Well, depends on how old we’re talking. Back in the 60s and 70s you’d be lucky to get 100k miles from a car. Even crappy GMs can usually make 100k now.
My moms got a 2012 excape with 160000k on it. Had no work done. My dad always makes jokes about how ford sucks for some reason. His 2010 chevy hhr constantly needs work done. Ford over chevy any day
2012 was the last year escapes weren’t junk. 2009 hybrid escape went almost 210k miles before transmission finally started giving out last year and the ac quit. Overall tho, was a great vehicle and reliable
Japanese all the way. Toyota/Nissan every time.
@@talisikid1618 you're joking right? You spelt Toyota and Honda wrong....Honda is WAY better than Nissan. And Ford isn't bad

I had one of those and I traded it in for a current type RAV4 AWD Hybrid. The only reason I traded it in was that the RAV4 has AWD. And I tow a camping trailer. That was the main reason why I picked the Toyota. The Ford Kuga (Escape where you are) sometimes had problems (only 2 wheel drive) with traction while in the grass or on gravel. Other than that, the Ford had a more solid drive and had a lot more silent engine than the RAV4. Quality wise both cars are about the same I guess. However, the Toyota is NOT a drivers car, the Ford on the other hand is. My RAV4 is now almost three years old and I’m happy with it, no need to trade it is at all. Greetings from Hekelingen, Holland. Bye, Willem.
I had a 2010 Ford Edge, it was beautiful black on black. V6 abs ran great, awesome gas mileage. Loved it. I needed a truck and traded for a 2014 Honda Ridgeline that I really loved. I’d still be driving one if they hadn’t ruined the ridgeline.
But my edge was awesome.

Scotty, the evaporator pump is under the emissions warranty. Might as well change that system. That is the reason for the extra long forced emissions warranties on all vehicles.
Plus time for fuel line filter replacement. The electric fuel pump will love your for it. Last longer and is not under stress with old fuel filter partially clogged.
This was built down the street from me. I've seen literally thousands of Escapes, Expeditions, Navigators, and huge F-450s over the past several years. But, all this over computerized, over electronic cluster f--- is why I just don't really like 90+% of cars or trucks built in the past decade. That junk just doesn't hold up over time and even Toyota and Honda reliability is suffering due to it. There's just something to be said about simplicity.
@@jamesvandamme7786 Simplicity and emissions really aren't related. A lot of super complex vehicles are failing emissions tests.
That's funny Scotty, the 2.0 Ecoboost in my AWD Escape averages 26-28 mpg on most tanks. On trips I've gotten well over 30 mpg.
The airbag light on my 2004 Sequoia came on when it got really cold recently. Looked online and it is a fault that occurred with some other Sequoia owners during winter months. Only happened once, hasn't appeared since.
Battery, brakes, oil changes, and minor maintenance for my 2.0 Ecoboost and get 24mpg. No problems at all with 123k miles. I think I got a car made on a Monday or something.
There’s always good ones, even of known unreliable cars.
But, 123k is nothing
The 2013-2016 EB 2.0 was a Mazda/Ford design, with better reliability and no start/stop button. The 2017-2019 Escape 2.0 is a Ford product with twin-scroll turbo and the stupid start/stop gadget. Unfortunately many of these also have the coolant intrusion issue.
I looked up that Xtool, is yours the pro (D8) @ $699, or the D7 ($479)? They seem to have several models available but doesn't work on everything. They ask that you email the VIN number to verify. I think it that it could reprogram keys.
It is a purge valve problem it's under the hood easy to replace ive replace it on my 2017 ford fusion 1.5
I love the level of sarcasm in your voice when you say "driver's front door module" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Maybe the electrical code registered when the battery was replaced.
I am a fan of these late-2010's Ford Escape's with the 2 L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine and 4WD. They are more reliable compared to the ones with the 1.5 L and 1.6 L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine - those engines had a lot of problems.
Hey Scotty hope all is well thank you for everything!!! 👍👍👍
hello and thanks, same to you!
my son's 2014 yaris just got new brakes. 164k miles on the originals and the rotors and drums are still fine.
Have a 2012 Escape 44,000 mls. Gets 26/32 mpg
Can change the battery without dismantling the engine compartment.
If you want eco mood use only a quarter of the throttle, you want sport mood press full throttle and drive normal to be in the middle.
I have a Ford Edge 2014 eco boost 4cyl... not bad very comfortable to drive. Scotty is like the rocket scientist of cars!
So this is why all the little suv drivers love to race me, when I drive my 27 year old Camaro convertible. One thing the new cars with never make 333,000 miles, same engine, tranny, rearend. And still 25 mpg.
The only Ford sedan I ever had that was not garbage was a 2001 Taurus. Windstar was garbage, Rangers were garbage. Fullsize Trucks were/are pretty good - I still have a 1990 F-250 that I bought for $800 in 2013. It isn't pretty, but it runs. 300 6-cyl
I have the same car but a 2018 titanium. I just had a new engine put in because of a very nasty leak between the cylinders and coolant chambers at 47k miles. It happens a lot with these escapes. Mostly within warranty, but still. Buyer beware...if your coolant starts to disappear and you get a code for the spark plugs, run to the dealership before that 60k mark. I still love my escape tho...I still drive her everyday. :)
Trouble is the overwidth tires on many, many new vehicles.. ,beside the ridiculous price, is they cause wind drag. Especially in the Winter.. they tend to push snow rather than cut through it and the extra width means less weight per square inch ... less traction. Not everyone needs Monster truck or Indy car profile tires. My two cents.
I'm getting 21.6 MPG combined with my TOYOTA 4RUNNER SR5 with a 4L 6-cylinder engine!
@@jamesvandamme7786Off hand, how many pounds is that?
I do like that (at last check) Mazda still has real-geared automatic transmissions...
I got 36MPG in an Outback but the CVT transmission was garbage and the blown head gasket at 89k finished it off.
My wife has had 2 Escapes, and now she drives an Edge with this same 2.0 Ecoboost , it’s a peppy engine in sport mode, but yes, it’s a pig on gas, you can see the needle go down as you drive, it’s terrible for gas mileage.

I thought the bailout money was available only for the 'big three'
I have the same escape year and model 57k miles, drove from Detroit to Atlanta round trip. I got 26.7 mpg. I also drive lyft in Michigan I get 22.6 mpg locally
Scotty turned red, when he hit that eco boost 🤣
I had a 2014 Ford escape titanium 2.0 ECO-boost engine and it slurped more fuel than my 2011 Ford RTR Conv. Mustang V8 5.0. Those turbocharged 4 cylinders ECO engines While peppy, use lots of fuel.
I have a 2013 Escape. It gets around 21 to 25MPG. Right around 100k miles the backup camera decided to display upside down and intermittently stops working. It's a good little SUV to take fishing 🙂
Any automatic transmission will fail eventually and will cost more than a new one to rebuild it. Forget the automatic ones. Very simple and logical.
No ecoboosts, no turbo chargers, and nothing manufactured after 2008, for me anyway...Don't want the newer technology, or the planned obscolescence....Older Toyota's/lexus/and older Ford trucks, is what I'll stick with...No problems yet, but it only has 75K miles, problems are probably coming though...
Don't forget to reset the BCM after a battery change
All late model cars I don't know when it started I can't give you an exact date but they started only making them to last 150,000 miles Yes you can make them go further than that obviously depending on if you want to keep fixing everything and how well maintained it was to get to that 150,000 mile mark It's no longer a set amount of time it needs to last It's just $150,000 miles and they know that people hit that number a lot sooner nowadays too I don't know but if you look in your owners manual it'll tell you all the intervals that which they be service a lot of them end at $150,000 They don't tell you to do anything after $150

As I recall, you previously reported the evap system is affected by the bad habit of topping up the tank beyond auto shutoff.
meanwhile the latest gen toyota rav4 is averaging 30+ mpg without being turbocharged and about the same size. The transmission will make a huge difference
2 to 4 months wait to get a Prius or the Prime delivered in Northern Cal.
That looks like the 2.0 turbo. I had an Escape just like this. My 4,000 pound Taurus gets the same mileage as the Escape did. The only edge was on a longer highway drive.
I had the same year Escape but it was an SE with the 2.0l motor. I would regularly get 28 to 31 mpg on the highway. I would set the CC on 72 and get that MPG all the time.
I love that color. A nice looking Ford SUV.
Convenient OBD port too.
2017 Ford Escape - make sure that the recall is taken care of. It can hurt someone if you have a limb out a window and the up button is pushed by accident. The auto reverse fails and it crushes the arm instead. Not a good feeling. Otherwise it is a pretty good car.
I had a 2016 & 2018 Fusion the 2016 got better mpg without a turbo than the 18 with eco boost with turbo
P1450 is purge valve. Every time
I have a 2018 cross over it gets an average of 21 mpg combined and it can get 30mpg on the highway the difference is it has a 2.4l inline 4 cylinder

Weight and size of the engine has the most influence on mpg, besides how it's driven.
Dont have gas caps
I see people "covering the brake" as you just described quite often, their brake pad/rotor life must be terrible. Driver instructor to student: What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Spousal unit does that to a Prius. Gas-brakes-gas-brakes. 55MPG.

I drive like a grandma and am proud of it.
I feel like I am asking my dad a question that i know he will yell at me for. Here goes.. I have a Excursion 2000. love the car. How can I increase gas mileage? Are those " chips " any good. . In my circle of friends , I am the official boat hauler and official parent baseball team hauler. Just saying , so you don't tell me to have it crushed for recycle.
Just came back from the emissions inspection on my 2010 Ford Escape. The emission inspection station said they couldn't detect any emissions. They recommended driving 100 to 200 miles on the highway and bring it back. Never heard of this problem before.

Hi Scotty, I love your video's. They are very informative. I'm curious to know do you ever have any service work for an 08 Acura MDX? The SH-AWD CEL is on. I took it to the Acura dealership for a full diagnosis. They recommended a new rear fuse box/multiplex control unit as well as the fuse and relays as well as the A/C relay because the A/C needs to be manually turned on and off, the power steering feels tight, to be its a rough ride and the front heated seats do not work, nor the headrest dvd monitors that I know are aftermarket installed. This vehicle also has an aftermarket Code Alarm security system that added a remote start. All the aftermarket items were already installed at purchase by previous owners. I was advised by Acura that the multiplex control unit would fix all these issues with the fuses and relays, but while replacing that, they came and told me I needed a new wiring harness that costs $3500 because it has been chewed by rats and needs to be replaced as well. I agreed to do the first job which was about $900 with the diagnosis, but only charged me about $750 since I agreed to have the rear fuse box ordered and installed by Acura. After advising me about needing a new wire harness, Acura completed adding the rear fuse box. Nothing they advised me that would work once the multiplex control unit was installed worked like I expected. I don't understand why Acura didn't find out I needed a new wire harness initially with the full diagnostic as well as when they determined I needed a new multiplex control unit to explain that replacing the multiplex control unit wouldn't fix my issues? Yet, I digress. Does it need to be reprogrammed after the wiring harness installation or when the rear fuse box was installed? The SH-AWD CEL is still on and everything is still not working. Plus the day I drove it home, it was pouring down raining and I believe I got a little shock through the driver seat that wasn't on. 👀💯 Please help me. Since I had the multiplex control unit replaced, I thought the truck would work, but I'm not fortunate to purchase your recommended diagnosis tools, so I'm trusting your many years of knowledge and expertise to help me out. I know this inquiry is loaded, but I truly need your help. I recently purchased this vehicle and the used car lot was willing to pay the repair costs, but like me wondered why Acura didn't find the bad wiring harness when the full diagnosis was originally done, had we both known about it, we could have made different arrangements, but now too much time lapsed. Also, now since the Acura dealership worked on it, the used car dealers say that they don't know if Acura caused the wire harness issues. I don't know what happened, but the truck cranks up fine, the motor and transmission sounds good, it just doesn't have the Je ne sais quoi I know the Acura MDX with SH-AWD should have after driving my 2007 model since 02/2019 that someone hit me and damaged the front quarter panel and frame that totaled it. The 2008 steering wheel feels tight and the car feels heavy and I won't turn on the comfort/sport mode until it's properly repaired because I don't want to mess anything else up. I just need a reliable working vehicle that I don't believe is electrocuting me that everything's working as it should. I thank you for your consideration.
