2002 escape xlt 4x4
I am thinking about buying a 2002 escape and I was wondering what to be aware of as far as problems, are the tranny's an issue, what about the four wheel drive system.
Thanks for any input.

The only thing that I would consider out of the ordinary maintenance on my '02 was replacing the front wheel bearings. Everything else just standard consumables that you would need to drive a vehicle 150k miles and 8 years. Now it is the family spare vehicle or the wife's winter unit so the Mustang can sit in the garage.

'02 Escape
I Bought mine used,about three years ago,with about 80,000 miles on the clock. I have replaced bank two catalytic converter,the upstream oxygen sensor on that cat.conv.,C.O.P.s on cyls.#one and three,and the left front wheel bearing. This was more than I had expected,but not as bad as it could have been.What I am really perturbed about is body rust under the plastic,around the lower body,

I have an 05 3.0 awd with 120K on it now. Bougt it 3 years ago with 40k on it. I have replaced 2 ecm, 6 plugs, 8 coils, 2 front wheel bearings, 1 transfercase, 2 cv shafts, front lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods, and sway bar end links. Guess I got a bad year.
