I purchased a 2014 Ford Escape 35K miles, 1.6 Liter engine, 4WD, Ecoboost w/ Turbo in Nov 2016. At first everything was good at 40,000 miles a wheel bearing needed to be replaced, 50,000 the axle seal needed to be replaced, at 60,000 the Turbo case is leaking oil! Then just last week the transmission stated to slip! And of course it's out of warranty now, can't believe all this has gone wrong with this car! Ford has definitely gone down the drain as far as quality built vehicles go and they do not stand by their vehicles either from what I hear. Their more concerned about their profit margins and shareholders then they are their own customers. My family has owned nothing but Fords for the past 60 years! If Ford will not stand behind the vehicles it builds I will not stand behind Ford that builds these vehicles! I never thought the day would come when I would say I will never buy another Ford product again! All I've ever bought and owned was Ford vehicles, I was a very loyal customer. My advice to Ford Motor Company is they should read some of these reviews and get with it and at least stand behind their product which apparently they have not done in a while. I feel it suffices to say that Ford Motor Company unfortunately will never be what they used to be.

Bought a used 2014 Escape 2.0L turbo AWD and have driven over 20,000 miles along the Colorado Front Range of the Rockies. Acceleration and handling are superb on twisty mountain roads and on 75 mph interstates. Cross winds of 40 mph do not affect steering this car at high speeds due to a good aerodynamic design. The turbo engine gives rapid acceleration, even uphill, and is great when merging into the 75 mph Colorado interstate lanes from short entrance merge lanes. I keep my car on the Ford maintenance schedule and have not had any major breakdowns or repairs. I purchased the Escape 2.0L Turbo AWD because I wanted a performance car with a large interior carrying capacity. I have no complaints and am exceedingly happy with my purchase.

There is nothing to add as I do not have the car anymore. I traded it in after the first year. I would not put up with such a defective car. The following are past ratings: I only kept the car for less than a year due to its defect. I don't know if Ford solved the problem but the Ford Representative told me they would not correct it and only on future models might there be a correction. So, what about all the ones that were defective? Again, Ford does not care. I will never cross their doorway again and I recommend this to all. There is nothing new to add. I do not own this car anymore and will NEVER buy a Ford again. The only thing I have to add is that I do not recommend buying a Ford as they would not repair my problem or on all the other Escapes with the same problem. What a black eye on them. Read the following for the situation. Ford must not care about their customers. Just sell the car and be done with it must be their motto. Their actual response from a company representative to me was, "nothing is perfect, deal with it". I did and it is gone. I only kept it for one year and that was too long. It has been over eight years since I traded in the Ford Escape for another SUV. Nothing has changed in my opinion of the Escape or Ford's attitude and response to it. The original review follows. The dash lights are suppose to automatically dim with the ambient light. Therefore, the dash lights remain on full bright making seeing out difficult. Mine don't and I have had it in the shop several times but to no avail. Since Ford would not repair the car and did not care about their customers, I traded it in for another much better car after one year of ownership. The new car is not a Ford and I will NEVER buy a Ford product of any type again! A Ford Representative said, "that is tough, nothing is perfect and just deal with it". (I did by getting rid of the car) There is no advisory on it yet and so they do not have a fix. (I am sure they have totally forgotten about their past customers now) I was told they don't plan to make a repair on this one. Maybe on next year's model they will. But according to Ford technicians, they know it is not working correctly. What a poor way to design a car. It is a sad fact that Ford will build such complex cars but are unable or unwilling to correct them. Other threads I have read on the internet are experiencing this same problem. Ford does not care.

I purchased the car on a whim as I needed to travel across country. I was shopping for a midsize truck or larger SUV. I have it listed on a a variety of sights for thousands under retail and all I get is low ball trade in offers. This vehicle still has a Factory warranty and in very good condition. Not a good resale vehicle.

2014 Escape Titanium, what a great car. have had no problems in a year and 25000 miles. mpg consistently high 20's. transmission shifts oddly but that is explained in owners manual. not bad, just different. Only weak point is design of console storage, very deep and narrow. Handles like a sports car. Looked at CRV and RAV 4 when we purchased it. They remind me of kitchen appliances. Got great deal, $5000 off and 0% for 72 mo
