Recalls AND THINGS that they refuse to recall

At 110,000 miles the coolant will leak onto the engine block and crack it. The electronical system can't really be managed because the system used is no longer in use by Ford so you can't do system updates or check anything in your car for that matter using the touch screen on the dash. You will have a problem with gas leaking as well as a problem with oil leaking. I have read so many reviews about the electrical issues. I had to turn my car in back to the dealership because I spent $10,000 and Ford had another $6,000 worth of repairs needed. The transmission will slip and the motor mounts will fail. Have only 115,000 miles and trans goes out? I thought it was me but I have purchased 5 cars and NEVER had an issue before I gave them away in great shape. Oil changes every 3k miles, engine flushed every 20k and parts replacement done before part failed completely. You will need a good warranty on the battery too because you will replace it A LOT through 200k miles I read. Most of them are not Running well I have read. Such a shame.

CrackedWarped Head—Entire Engine Needs Replacing

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.
