[quote=Anonymous]I have a 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid that I love.  I have an SUV that gets between 29-31 MPG.  It has 149K on it and still runs great.  Current plan is to keep it another 3 years until it hits about 200K.  Very little maintenance.  Tires every 50K, oil change every 10K.  One factory recall; an electronics issue from a defective part.  It did fail when we were on travel and it caused some annoyance because we couldn't drive above 55mph without the engine stalling.  So it took a little longer to get home.  But once home, took it to the dealer and they informed me that I had ignored a recall notice on the part and they replaced it without cost.  At 149K, I just had to replace brake drums and pads for the first time and a tire sensor that had gotten damaged.  So other than tires and oil changes, I have spent $800 over 11 years.  Not too bad.

Based on my experience, 2 friends bought Escape hybrids before they were discontinued in 2013.  And my brother has a non-hybrid Escape.  He has a 2009.  The majority of the Escape owners that I know have been quite happy with their experiences.[/quote]
