Toyota dealers keep telling people that the transmission fluid is lifetime & everyone falls into the 10k interval oil changes (regardless of where/how you drive). You don't need an extended warranty: maintenance!

[@Steverz32]

We have a 2024 Prius & it said the 1st oil change was due at 10K🤣😂🤣We will be getting changed at 5k & the transmission flushed at 40K! Oil is cheap, motors & transmission are not!😊

This is one reason why you should avoid turbo cherged engines.

[@thenaturalyoutubing1067]

Avoid ford engines.* plenty of reliable turbo cars and trucks. Diesel turbo trucks regularly get to a million miles.

[@thejourneymen7722]

2018 Ford F150 220,000 miles zero issues to date except regular maintenance. Of course I change oil every 3000 miles not the computer recommended 6 to 8000 miles that’s what kills a turbo charged engine, not the name of the manufacture.

[@Crunchifyable2]

It's not a turbo problem, it's the engine block defect on various Ecoboost engines. Coolant intrusion, probably cost cutting.

[@ScottKelley]

I've got an ecoboost Escape titanium and it had a bad gasket on cylinder 3 that caused coolant in the cylinder and scored cylinder wall. So had a new short block installed. That block was a bad block and developed a hairline fracture on the cylinder 3. Had to get another new short block. Then somehow a connecting rod was damaged during those two rebuilds and caused more damage and ended up a getting a whole new long block lol. Thankful for warranties...

[@wisdomSP]

Sheesh. I hear about a lot of problems with these Eco Boost motors.

Used to own a 2017 MKZ with the 2.0T Ecoboost. At 53K miles cylinder misfire and culprit cracked cylinder causing coolant intrusion. All fixed under Warranty. Vehicle was sold to CarMax shortly after fixed and then replaced with 13 RDX.

[@chrisbell6627]

The 3.0 v6 in old escape was good engine

[@onnu2001]

Mike, avoid all Escapes 2013 to present. The ones that have good transmissions will have coolant loss from hairline cracks in the block. It’s not a some problem, it’s all. Ford losing the partnership with Mazda has made them a company to AVOID.

[@rorosnusnu2035]

What about the Bronco sport?

[@aaronbritt2025]

What does this have to do with Mazda. When they had the partnership, the engines were made by Ford. Miata and 323 had Ford engines. B series truck was a Ford Ranger with a Ford engine. Mazda got stuff from Ford, not the other way around.

[@Agent22817]

The coolant intrusion issues were 04/19 and before manufactured 1.5L engines. I have not seen any issues with the redesigned short block used since or done for warranty replacements.

[@tompettibone]

They redesigned the block. So 2020 and newer have the new blocks in them and are more reliable. We have a fusion that had the engine replaced at 70k and then the transmission at 78k.

[@onnu2001]

@@tompettibone 2020? That’s 7 mode years of junk. The 13 and up fusions are garbage. The remaining non turbo 2.5’s are fine, but the trans are frequently failing before 100k. This is a company that had one of the most complete reliable lineups in the entire industry to not worth investing a penny into.

[@JasPlun]

What year Camry? The transmission issues were an early on problem that got fixed by late 2019. After 2019 they pretty much had the transmissions problem free. The main issue with them is the learning computer you might have the computer memory wiped and find the transmission is still good. I would check it to be sure unless its slipping. Our 2020 Camry has been rock solid, but I always service my vehicles well and service the transmissions every 45k miles for regular automatics. Check with Toyota to make sure they did not have an extended warranty on it too the early 2017-2018 models had some issues. You will sell that baby Fast! I can't stand Ford I owned a Fusion which was basically the same as the Escape. Last Ford I buy I stick with GM and Toyota. Through the years I have owned both and had the best luck ever with both brands. I am still driving my 2003 GMC Sierra with over 200k miles problem free. I would be leary buying a GM truck now though. I have heard Active Fuel Management has claimed a lot of engines. I guess I could buy one and have that deleted to save the engine though:P One last thing Ford extended the warranties on the Escapes over the block failure issues might check with them to see if its covered:P

[@dvStl]

Coolant intrusion. Common on these motors of this generation

[@daewooparts]

The absolute best way to fix one of those escape engines is just to put a pipe between the seat & accelerator pedal & redline it till the engine either quits or explodes internally...or catches fire 🔥

[@johnweiland9389]

When the engine was cold, dod you check the coolant level and the engine oil for milk shake? 21 hours labor means new engine? If you have a mechanic why didnt he check it before you bought it?

[@charlessanders1342]

I wouldn't touch a "ecojunk" as heard alot if issues as it's crazy your guy had that motor out in no time and a good motor put in and running so did u put in a good used motor or ??. Cost?

[@elizabethpeterson1644]

I had a 2015 Ford Escape SE in the same color. The engine died on me with an oil leak. It was mid March 2022. I had that vehicle for almost 5 years. It was very easy to drive around in. Even the controls were easy to used. Now I drive a 2020 Ford Escape SE in black. I just loved my current vehicle. My favorite thing in the 2020 one is using Apple Car Play.

By watching I think that is 2016 Forester 2.5i, I don’t know how many miles that one had. Side note: I’ve 2016 Subaru Forester as well it’s 2.5i Premium with 63k miles on odometer. I would double check on the cam carrier oil leak and front both lower control arms. I just got done fixing those two are the common issues on that generation Forester. Just letting you know.

[@philg5888]

Yeah the 1.5L engines and 1.6L engines in the escapes are garbage, there is so many issues with them from 2013 till 2019 model years, there is recalls on them for the block designs and also on the faulty transmissions as well. The only good escapes of that generation have the 2.0L or the 2.5L engines, but they’re still at risk for having a bad transmission.

[@VanisleNSX]

The Toyota Camry had a bad transmission?! Of course all makes and models can have issues but it’s an absolute FACT that Toyotas and Hondas are superior in terms of reliability in comparison to the big three automakers.

[@20smgreen]

We have the same 14 Ti Escape and at 125k the transmission went out, no warnings........$3800 to fix.

[@rebelzl1444]

There is a recall they do not advertise, my daughter got a free motor installed from dealer for free Had same problem, done at Malloy ford in Winchester VA

[@jondas05]

Subaru Forester will be a bad transmission not front diff since they are built in to each other, and it's an expensive CVT.

[@ChevyDude]

Actually the Subaru has a very strong CVT as they use a y and not a belt. I haven’t seen a transmission issue on the 50+ Subarus we have sold in the last 2 years. Toyota is a different story.

[@mph5896]

I was going to comment, that's a tough way to make a buck. BUT, then I saw you want $10,487 for that😆. I would be rebuilding Escapes all day long if I could get $10,487 for them.

[@aydenjames-dj2gu]

what do you mean? i live pretty far from this guy and you can expect to pay around 10k for a good mileage late model vehicle (2013-up), these escapes are solid if taken care of and this engine has 0 miles. a decent deal for the average buyer, i also think this guy does in house financing for some of these cars so naturally prices are a bit higher with that too.

[@mph5896]

@@aydenjames-dj2gu Why do you think he put a new 0 mileage engine in that Escape? That is a $6k engine from Ford, just for the engine. Not including labor. I'll bet money on it he put a used salvage yard engine in that Escape with about the same mileage. I am very familiar with those Escapes. They are NOT solid, and are VERY expensive to fix. When (I didn't say "if") the trans goes out, that is a $5-6k repair.

[@christopherharris3229]

​@@mph5896100% correct.

[@ScottDreyfus]

Used engine for those is a 1k or less if you don't need a turbo. It's probably going to save you money in the long run but it's just gonna do the sane thing for someone else.
