CrackedWarped Head—Entire Engine Needs Replacing

2014 Ford Escape Titanium 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful

Would advise against the Ford Escape, including the 2014. Constant coolant, engine, overheating, computer issues. Has multiple recalls on its cylinder head and engine. The dealer recommends scrapping our car; the full engine replacement is $10k.

78,000 miles and going strong - first owner

2014 Escape 2.0L Titanium 19" wheels, sunroof - still running strong at 78,000 miles. Paid for extended warranty covering up to 8 years/100K miles for piece of mind. Still absolutely love this car. First all the good news...Runs well, still tight, performs well, good gas economy, quality paint job. Built Oct 2013 as a JOB1 edition, Also great paint job. Love looking at car. Repairs - now on 3rd set of tires - LOVE LOVE the Michelins, Conti's got rough at 35k-38k. Had the RR wheel bearing replaced - got noisy. Have now replaced 3rd brake light twice. Have replaced various bulbs (rear brake, front turn signal, cornering light). Need someone with very small hands to help switch front bulbs/ rear brake light easy to change, no other repairs. Annoyances - drivers seat lower cushion leather cracking, wish the BLISS indicator lights on the outside mirrors were larger and brighter, had to replace all lug nuts because the stupid plastic clading/ brought solid chrome replacements on Amazon before recently replacing tires at Costco. Great features I continue to use: Sport mode - much better 1:1 pedal to acceleration response when feeling sporty; keeping car running after closing door/honking then locking for a quick run into a store, B pillar push buttons to lock/unlock car without a key; seat heating dials instead of buttons, so easy to reach all controls; 4 spoke steering wheel that allows me to hold steering wheel at bottom when cruising; electric windshield wipers both sweeping out to clear more windshield. Overall - best car I have had since my first car in 1973 by far!

For a small to mid size car - quite roomy family, great for hauling, easy to drive and maneuver.

Traded up to Titanium 2.0

I purchased a 2013 Escape SE 4wd w/ the 1.6L engine and loved the vehicle. I wished I had gone with more features, so I traded it on a 2014 Escape Titanium 4wd with the 2.0L engine and all the goodies. I love this vehicle! I've owned a lot of cars, from most all manufacturers, including high-end cars, and this new Titanium is my favorite all-around vehicle. I get very good gas mileage, it's very comfortable, and the NVH, fit and finish are on par with the luxury brands. Sync w/ MyFordTouch is terrific, and intuitive. I can also use the manual controls easily if I don't want to use the voice or touch controls. Ford has really done a great job with their new vehicles.

Bought the 2.0L Titanium with AWD in November. Really like the car -- the technology system was pretty easy to master. Really like the handsfree phone. But am sorely disappointed with the mileage -- 14 MPG with mixed city and highway driving. Dealer said wait till we hit 5000 miles but at 4500 miles have seen no improvement. Will not keep the car long at this rate. Am already looking to get rid of it.
