Water Leaking

Had vehicle for a little over 2 years now. Great acceleration and handling. Gas mileage not as advertised. Average 20 mpg city and 26 hwy. Only problem is the water leak on passenger side front. Both sides were leaking but dealer fixed drivers side. After two attempts by dealer to repair, passenger side still leaks. We are glad we leased and did not buy this vehicle.

I'm amazed to hear the complaints by others of bad gas mileage and the Sync system. I'll address those first. A 2012 Escape with the V-6 has much less HP and torque and will only get about 19mpg city. Our 2014 2.0 Eco Boost gets around 22 to 23 in the city commute with 240 HP, it's got more power than my 1985 Mustang GT. It scoots! Plus the MPG is 15% higher than its V-6 predecessor. What about that isn't awesome. The engine is so good you can find it in the Range Rover Evoque at 40-50k. Any complaints here just can't be non-agenda driven. The SYNC system is very intuitive to us. No problems at all. I'm not really sure what is so difficult to understand.

In August, 2013, I purchased my 2014 2L FWD Titanium model. Aside from the bad work from Brandon Ford, where I purchased it AND Ford refusing to honor my $1,200 warranty for a shattered panoramic glass which took 3wks to repair, and the air leak it's been almost flawless. I've waited for months for the dealer to return my calls and for Ford to do the right thing, so hey, I'm going to talk about it. The good part is, I like the vehicle with little exception. It isn't as smooth as my Explorer AWD was, but steering feel from the D/S is excellent and driving exp. is great. Economy has gone UP! Started around 22mpg avg and has gone to nearly 25mpg avg. 8.1k on the odometer.
Two time Fail Faulty 2014 Ford Escape Transmissio

This car is terribly dangerous. Ford failed faulty transmission went out twice once at 84,329 miles. I purchase it new & this is what I ended up with. Fixed by dealership Jan. 4, 2017. Then its went out again Jan. 18, 2018. Sadly it was given only one year warranty. So it would cost 4,229. 00 to fix it. I asked other mechanics & they said check out google complaints for your car. I did & there are so many complaints out there & guest what Ford is doing about it? NOTHING! Mechanics are saying get rid of it because once it is repaired look for it to go out again within one to three years. Plus there are other Ford cars with this same problems. 😢 to have a car note and have to ride uber, lyft , & public transportation to get around. I don't have 4,229.00 to fix it. Ford need a class action law suit started. Someone out there with money we need your help!

Never broke down, but.... CV joints, wheel-bearings, or something in the front-end began howling at about 50K. Never actually diagnosed, but the noise is consistent with that type of thing, and in any case its LOUD. Now 62K, and wipers turn on randomly, blower motor went out, and when it gets real cold the radio and rear back-up camera don't work. Tires are good and rated at 60K. One got a hole in it but still went to 58K+, and the other three are still going strong. ***Update*** 89,000 miles: all above problems plus a door/door-lock issue were fixed either under warranty or as factory recall. After sitting for 3-4 weeks, the radio would no longer keep time after being set. After one day, it mysteriously fixed itself. Where the driver's side metal rear-quarter meets the plastic rear-bumper molding, it is falling out of alignment. A minor cosmetic issue. Still never broke down, good reliable car that I plan to keep. ***Update*** 96,000 miles: replaced battery since last entry.
