This car has opened the road for us to travel.
We recently purchased a Ford Escape 2014 from Seeley Ford and Kia on Stadium dr. Kalamazoo Mi. This car was a real God send for the price they allowed me to buy it for. We find this car easy to drive with a lot of bells and whistles. I enjoy the technological part and the comfort of the seats and ride. We took it on a road trip recently from Mattawan, Michigan to northern Michigan around Gaylord then up to the bridge and back home on less then $70 for gas. Living on a fixed income this will make it a more do-able thing for us to travel on a shoe string savings. My husband and I are both disabled with Fibromyalgia and find it hard to ride for a long period of time. We suffered very little discomfort or fatigue from riding up to Gaylord or back home.

Worst car i've ever owned... sad really.
Was hoping a "newer" car would be the best thing, definitely did not do research and got this car.... Worst decision ever made. SOOOOO many recalls, the engine needed replaced before the car even had 34k miles. NOT RIGHT. luckily it was covered under the warranty. Engine light comes on every month at least since owning the car. (8months) has been sucking down gas so much so you can watch the meter go down, cant take it to get fixed without paying since the engine light didnt come on for that problem, waste of money completely. I do not advise anyone getting this car 100 percent. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I had a 2004 mazda van that ran smoother, and quieter and paid less in gas than this 2014 escape Only good thing about the car is the rear view camera and the heated seats, and the leather is comfortable, other then that, BAD quality. No large adult can fit comfortably in the back seat also, way too small cramped and seats arent as comfy as the front.

Making the Ford switch
I traded my 2012 Honda CRV for the 2014 Ford Escape to escape the Honda's horrible cabin road noise problem. In my humble opinion, the Honda was built on the cheap, while the Escape's interior materials are much better and the doors don't sound like tin cans. Fast forward to July, 2016. I've put over 50,000 miles of mixed driving on my 2014 Escape, which also includes two long road trips to Colorado. I've owned at least 35 cars and trucks and must say, the Escape is one of the very best vehicles of the bunch. It's fun to drive, love the fact it gives me great gas mileage (I have a heavy foot), the little fuel injected four banger engine has all the power and pickup I need while driving on the interstate highways, the seats are perfect as I can drive for hours without having back problems or undue stiffness. It's given great service and never had any mechanical problems or issues. The interior materials have held up very well and look about the same as my first day of ownership. We're now into January 2017 and I've had the Escape for three years, which may be a record for me, since I've been prone to trade vehicles once they hit 40,000 miles. It's been a very good and reliable vehicle and have never had any problems or issues. I change the oil and filter every 4,000 miles. The original tires lasted 45,000 miles. 90% of my miles are highway miles which is much easier on vehicles than town driving at slower speeds. I'm a happy camper and don't plan on trading anytime soon.

Was a great car until I hit 60,000 miles
Bought the car used with 17,000 miles, only problems I had was 1: lid for console broke and dealership wanted $400 to replace console and wasn't covered under warranty 2: Only one of the 4 charging ports in the car worked, I payed approximately $400 to repair, wasn't covered under warranty. Fast foward to 62,000. I had received a recall notice about the coolant sensor, twice I called the dealership and was told 1: hadn't received and instructions how to fix and 2: didn't have the parts necessary to repair and would contact me when available. I was driving home from work one night and my car flashed a bright red message to pull over safely as soon as possible because my car was overheating. I sat on the side of road for 15 minutes, then proceeded home (was only about 5 minutes away). Had radiator checked the next day, was almost empty, had it refilled and was told "all these cars leak". Called the dealership and told them what happened and they instructed me to come in that day to have fixed because they "now" had parts. They also fixed the seal on the axle which was covered under warranty, car was driving well. 2 months later, I was sitting in traffic and my car wouldn't move for a few minutes. I was able get to parking lot and seemed better. When I was driving home on the highway, the RPM gauge was almost up to six and fluctuating wildly but car was driving fine. I got off on the ramp and car started to act very sluggish and not driving well at all. I ended up being stuck at a stop light blocking traffic and having to get towed to the dealership. This time my transmission was overhauled which was covered under the extended warranty that I am so thankful that I purchased. Have had the car back for 2 weeks, so far so good, but really nervous about reliability in the future.
