Comments on Ford Escape!??

[maop99]

Saan kaya ako makakakita ng 2.3L? Help Kiper hehehehe

[maop99]

Hassle be yung mga recalls na yan? baka magsisisi lang ako?

[boybi]

kung 2003-04 model yan, medyo bago pa. pwede mo naman itanong sa seller kung napaayos nya na yung recall sa casa. also, covered pa yan ng warranty since 3 yrs naman ang warranty.

[kiper]

usually, kapag bagong labas ang kotse ung mga old recalls na apply na dun sa brand new kaya wala na problem.

brand new na kasi bilin mo!

sir boybi, 2 years/50,000kms lang po warranty ng FORD..jologs eh..haha

[maop99]

oo nga kiper sana....hehehehe....gaano katagal gawin ba ang mga recalls na yan? how many days? pagkatapos ba gawin good as new na ulit? Thanks kiper....

[mazdamazda]

napansin ko... halos lahat ng car manufacturers bumalik sa 2 years / 50K km na warranty.

ang 2.3L na escape ay lumabas lang ng late 2004. mahirap maghanap ng 2nd hand na ganyan since napaka bago pa.

mostly dito sa pinas silent ang recall. katulad nung rav4 ko, pinalitan na lang nila bigla yung front disc brakes ko.

[maop99]

O nga baka kasi dito sa atin sensitive tayo sa mga ganyan baka isipin natin na malaki problema ng auto? pero baka sa US its normal at baka nga mas gusto nila ng recall dahil libre ang ayos at mapapaganda at masma-pa-parfect pa ang kotse nila di ba?

[mazdamazda]

normal lang sa US ang auto recall. kahit Ferrari gumagawa niyan.

mas delikado nga kung hindi nag rerecall.

The 2.0 is not really a bad motor. But Ford stopped making that motor already and had to outsource engines from Mazda (hence the move to the 2.3).

[kiper]

Actually, 2.3L talaga dapat ang ilalabas nila nung una..kaso nagkaroon ng problem ung engine na hindi nila agad maresolve kaya ung 2.0L Zetec engine ng Focus muna ung ginamait for the meantime..kaya ung 3.0L Duratec naman ung naging mabenta sa Escape because of the specs.

Guys, did some inquiring, and I found out na super mahal pala ng brake pads ng escape. Its around 11-14 thousand, is this correct? Double siya ng cost ng brake pads ng BMW and triple ng cost ng mga Japanese cars.

Is this a sign of a high maintenance cost for the escape? How much does it cost to tune up the escape?

Thanks guys!

I searched online and seems to me that they are just normal prices....Might wanna check out some other stores.

maybe you are talking about brake pads for all four corners - then it is just priced right.

a pair of brake pads for the rav4 costs around 6K.

[Supierreman]

for that price bili ka na lang ng EBC brakepads. There's this new EBC line na equivalent sa greenstuff pero made for SUVs. It's labeled as "EBC SUV" Ask Auto_xer i think they have these. baka meron para sa escape.

For the CR-V 4.8k brake pads for the front pag sa casa. EBC SUV pads are around 7.2k. I got a good deal from a guy selling it at our club i opted for EBC redstuff for 5k

[BlueBimmer]

i dont know y brake pads of ur cars are expensive, full set front n rear for my e36 only cost more or less 3k ata. bendix standard, though thats dealer price. i didnt go for high performance brake pads cos dont wanna risk the chance of wearing out my rotors sooner.

BlueBimmer: Dude where do you source your parts? Baka pwede pa refer? hehehe

[BlueBimmer]

my bro is the purchaser, distributor's name is C. Rueda (corp. name), thats what i always see on the PO.

[maop99]

nakalagay lang sa manual okay na ang 93 octane but I want to put velocity mas maganda performance and mukang masmatipid....Is this okay? wala bang masisira like gas pump or caould it cause knocking? or should I shift back to super unleaded? Help naman mga experts diyan....Thanks

[odell]

oo naman. wala naman problema dun.. mas lalakas hatak pero mamumulubi ka nga lang hehehe

[amboy]

yes you should have no problem with ford escape and velocity. i have a lot of friends doing that already. the only drawback is that everytime they fill up with velocity, for some reason sumasakit daw bulsa nila hehe!
