We have updated results for the Escape, Mariner, and Tribute to include owner experiences through March 31, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010: 30, better than average

2009: 61, about average

2008: 57, about average

2007: 40, better than average, small sample size

2006: 66, about average

2005: 81, about average

2004: 31, better than average, very small sample size, likely not accurate

2003: 112, about average, small sample size

2002: 119, about average

2001: 84, better than average, small sample size

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

These stats require more data, so we only have them for a few years so far:

2009: 62, 3

2008: 60, 3

Ford Escape Lemon-odds and Nada-odds

We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We have updated our reliability stats for the Escape, Mariner, and Tribute (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through December 31, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011: 13, better than average, sample size one below the minimum

2010: 45, about average

2009: 65, about average

2008: 45, better than average

2007: 70, about average, small sample size

2006: 66, about average

2005: 71, about average

2004: 75, better than average, very small sample size

2003: 116, about average, small sample size

2002: 94, better than average

2001: 67, better than average, very small sample size, seems too low to be accurate

We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds," to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop.

These stats require more data, so we only have them for a few years so far:

2010: 80, 4

2009: 60, 8

2008: 64, < 1

2006: 59, 4

Thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We should have an initial stat for the redesigned 2013 Escape next time, but it's going to be close. A few more participants would be especially helpful with this one.
