2001 Ford Escape XL review from North America
"110,000 miles and smiling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant level light.
General comments?
This has been the best vehicle I have ever owned for powertrain reliability with over 110,000 miles and it runs perfectly. I've maintained it to specifications and it is like the day I bought it. It has tons of get up and go and has not slowed down one bit. A couple minor things were fixed during the warranty period. The only complaint would be the coolant level light is faulty and there doesn't seem to be a good fix. I plan on driving it at least another 45,000-60,000 miles before I replace it.
