[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have or has anyone considered the Ford Escape PHEV? This is one we are thinking about, but they seem to be very difficult to find locally, as least looking at inventories online.[/quote]

Why ?. Fords stink recall heaven [/quote]

DP.  This may have been true in the past, but not so much in the last 20 years.

I owned a Ford Escape hybrid from 2006 until 2019.  It was a good car for 150K miles.  But then the problems started to mount up and the cost for repairs outstripped the value of the car.  The A/C stopped working, then there were problems with the power steering, which was the final straw.  Both of the issues required the onboard computer to be replaced first (about $3500) and then after that, they individual problems could be addressed.  It was likely to cost well over $6K for the repairs.  But prior to the computer issues, I had very few issues for 13 years and I loved that car.

I also know 2 people who bought Ford Escape hybrids after my positive experience, so I knew one that had a 2009 and one with a 2010.  They discontinued that model in 2012 (I think).  I have no idea about the latest PHEV version, but the older version was well worth it.  [/quote]
