XLS 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
I got this car back in March and two weeks later it broke down in the middle of the freeway, left me stranded.
They said it was the sensor and had to replace it. First time that Ford lets me down since I have been buying Ford cars since 1997.
Also the car vibrates, shakes, and rattles like if it was an older car. Not sure what is up with that, but the dealer said that a lot of people were complaining about it too.

XLS 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)
Bought a new 2013 Escape in December of 2013 because I could not locate a new XLT or LTD 2012 model. I was never totally happy with the new body style. When a 2012 model was for sale at my local Ford dealership, I traded my 2013 model for the 2012 model. It is exactly what I had been looking for in 2013.

I loved my blue steel Ford Escape. I travel all over place with this and have no problem with it. It been so good to me, I feel safe in bad snow storm and handle it with no problem, I put lots mileage on this for 10 years so am switch to other 1918 Ford Escape. 2012 Ford Escape is my most favourite.
