2001 2002 2003 Ford Escape XLT V6 transmission woes. Pov test drive walkaround

If you can't spell stupid right you might be the "stupit" one

[@dougprobert5378]

What's wrong with you.

[@Doyleman777]

I have a 03 3L 2wd escape that hit 163k miles and she’s my pride. Made a 3400mi round trip with *mostly* no issues. Shortly after my water pump died but replacing it wasn’t too tough. Put new sway bar links and bushings in, a new radiator, and ignition coils over the last 2 years but she shifts fine despite that Gen having notorious transmission issues! I need to change the oil pressure switch to rid myself of the oil lamp light and fix some intake manifold issues sooner rather than later, but she drives just fine aside from minor hiccups and in my opinion is decently easy to work on. I hear the alternator is a pain, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there

You are quite the mechanic!

@Megan Miller KZbin is like school teaches u important things that matter compared to school which all they care about is money

[@CarswithNash]

That is typically what ends the life of those, is the transmission, I figured you were being a brave man to floor it!😂 I think the engine was Ford because they use the same one in the Taurus it was actually an option in the Taurus you could get the 12 valve 3 L or the 24. Vulcan and Duratek I believe Duratek is the 24 valve like you’ve got there, both pretty solid engines.

I love ford escape xlt 2004 👍💖

[@just_your_average_t33n34]

There have been three people in my family with gen 1 ford escapes. My grandma had a 2006 XLT with AWD. My sister got one that was practically the exact same car, same color, same interior color, same year. And me. I have a 2002 that has also been very well maintained. And you were wondering which company made the V6. Ford made the 3.0 V6, mazda made the 2.0 4 cylinder. With three being in the family of mechanics, i know many facts about them

[@mvc2177]

How reliable are they?

[@just_your_average_t33n34]

They're amazingly reliable depending on the year. Some say not to get an 04. Mine is at 220k miles and still is a dream to drive. Both my sister and grandma got theirs to about 350k miles. One thing that can make it a bit risky is if it's a city car over a highway car because of the stop start and the constant speed change. If it's a city one, there's a chance it'll need a transmission

[@johnqueen2754]

I have a 2002 2.0 5 speed. Want fire. Went through a creek and got wet and quit. Want crank back. Changed coil pack and crank sensor. Just want fire. Good car. Great car. Good video

Thanks. Pretty good lil SUVs

I have an 2002 escape with 219 k I bought it at 171k. It shifts slightly hard from second to third every sence. When I disconnect the battery an reconnect it, it will slip third gear like you can feel the lose of speed an hear the increase in rpm for a second. In a few days it gets back to it's normal hard shifting lol I don't understand it but it still running.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Yeah we ended up having to put a transmission in this one

[@tacticalemt_89]

2003 ford escape as my first car. Only thing I have had problems with is the exhaust and now the transmission is starting to shutter

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Same on this one

[@issavibez394]

I had a 03 before they are junk

[@jamesbottelman3347]

The catalytic converters are clogged.Gut then and the performance will be awesome!

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

We put a transmission in it

[@internetmeta]

@@JoesGoldenGarage How much did that cost?

[@juanmanuelgil3436]

How it went for the transmission? Had it serviced? The flashing OD light usually means it's overheating

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Full rebuild for $2000

[@clover7359]

I bet it gets horrendous gas mileage. What, 16 city 20 highway? I've never seen an efficient duratec 3.0, and that one seems like its laboring.

[@bretthuey30]

A full 13 gallon tank gets me 320 highway, 290 city.

They're not efficient at all, but extremely reliable
