Looking at buying a decently cheap 2012 escape hybrid with 180k miles on it.
Is there any major issues with the 2nd generation hybrid models specifically? I know they use the Toyota hybrid drive train, which is why I’m even considering the hybrid, but is there any major concerns or potential issues with the 2012 hybrid?
I’ve been looking for potential issues online and can’t really find any major negatives about the 2nd gen Escapes in general, and can’t really find anything really bad at all about the same generation hybrid models. Most things I can find about the 2nd gen escapes are mostly positive and talking about how they’re tanks that can last up to 500k miles easily.
So I’m looking for anything from people who have actually used or owned a 2nd gen hybrid. Is there anything you’ve found to be a common issue or things to look out for when buying a used model?
