14 Escape 2.0L AWD Titanium / Bought used with 25,700 miles on 12/11/14. Bought used thinking all possible issues should be resolved. MPG is terrible at 21 HWY and 17 city. We have now driven this vehicle a 1000 miles and I am ready for my fifth fill-up. The gas gauge appears to be off. At the quarter mark, I am only able to put in about 8.5 gallons. After reading the manual, I discover the term Eco Boost has nothing to do with fuel economy. I haven't really figured out what it means. This vehicle is really easy to get in and out. It has great acceleration but the ride is little bumpy but as short wheel base will cause this issue. The wife loves the car and that's what counts.

Steering wheel is offset to the right just enough to not be inline with the dash gauges. They lied about the MPG. You can figure on the tradin-value to lose at the rate of $10k per year for the first two. Horrible wind noise, you can't roll the windows down at 55mph and keep your hearing. Rough ride. They just discontinued the Vehicle Health Check feature they suddenly call “Complementary”.

Worst purchase ever! True lemon! Bought Jan 2014. Day 1: passenger headlight out. 3 trips to dealer, got it replaced. Then back to dealer for: rear lift gate out of alignment and sometimes doesn't close at all(4x tried to get it repaired), exterior lights periodically flash by themselves, SYNC won't display txt msgs (did once), door seals are horrible (TONS of dust), abnormal lag when accelerating to highway speeds, AC failed on first use, windshield wiper hits driver's side upright, 14,000 miles-lots of rattles, rear shocks just replaced, driver's window has mind of its own, headliner sagging in rear, driver presets do not return, poor performance of AC when it does work, etc.
Never Buying Escape Again

Bought this vehicle for my wife from Carmax. Certified pre owned with 54,000 miles. The passenger rear speaker has never worked even after talking it back to the dealer for repairs. Around 80,000 miles I had to replace the transmission and as soon as we took it to the shop the mechanic knew what it was because it is so common with this car. Even after replacement we are still having issues with transmission. Shifting from first to second is terrible. Warning lights come on all the time. We continually get letters in the mail regarding recals. The entire cooling system was recalled and we had to get it replaced for over heating issues. The climate control is terrible as well. I bout my wife a heated blanket for her ride to work during the winter because the air would not get hot. 90% of the miles are highway miles and I take of my cars so we should get well over 100,000 miles with minimal issues. I can’t believe ford’s lack of quality control with this. They must put all of their resources into the F-150 production because the Escape is lacking in every catagory. If you want a reliable ford suv I would recommend the explorer or above.

I have a 2014 FWD titanium.i like it a lot. Best car I have had. The tech works well. The performance and ride are very good. Lots of fun! I wish that it got better milage but for 240 HP it is pretty good.
