Used 2015 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
All around good vehicle so far.
I bought the 2.0 AWD Titanium addition. This model is not included in the drop down box for the 2015 model year. I don't know why but whatever. Anyway, I bought this vehicle as opposed to other SUVs on the market mainly because it had the towing package. I am a big fan of Hondas as they have been very reliable for me but the styling of the new CR-V did not impress me. I have the same minor gripes as other people with lack of cubbies up front and that the back only fits my golf clubs diagonally and just barely. Also the gas tank is way undersized. Just recently filled up and trip computer claimed I had 362 miles to empty. Not the case, generally have to fill up around 300. Overall I have found the vehicle comfortable and the Sync system works great. Acceleration and handling seem very good. I think for the price of the Titanium trim, you should get the LED headlight accents/daytime running lights included in the trim level rather than having to pay additional. That's about it.

2.0 Ecoboost no problems; Great vehicle
After 4 years, car is still tight. No mechanical problems at all. Plenty of power.

Regret buying it
Where to start. Bought it with 25k miles on it (formerly a Ford lease), which implied it was well maintained and trouble free. Within the first month of ownership the driver's door hinge was found to be defective (wouldn't close door on first pull), then the handle to pull down the rear door came off along with the panel, then the car developed a strange wind noise just as the warranty ran out. Was told this was $700 fix as Ford would have to replace the windshield seal. Then the engine light came on during a trip to Florida. Dealership could not figure out the issue but said it may have something to do with the cooling system. Car ran terribly. They kept it for two days and it worked without explanation. Recently we got a notice from Ford saying there's a problem with the cooling system, but won't be able to fix it until the parts are available in a few months. This vehicle is exhausting to own. On top of that, I've never seen such a small engine have such terrible MPG. I drove a Tahoe previously and through some Chevy magic I got better highway gas mileage with a V8. And the final issue I'll talk about (this week) is the constant interior hissing when the AC is on. I'd say keep away from this one. It's affordable, attractive and they pack a lot of features in it, but it's a badly engineered vehicle. I'm not the only one ... google it.

I'm in love!
Loving my new Escape! Fun to drive after having 4 Toyota sedans in a row. Love sitting up high. As a single mom, with one young teenager, this small SUV is all we need! Love the quick speed, easy handling, etc.
Mine is the 2.0
Not sure why anyone would get the lower trim levels. For someone who wants the best bang for the buck dependably hauling kids, car seats, daiper bags and luggage across the state for a family vacation, the Forester, Rav 4 and CRV are the obvious choices. An Escape will do the job but it will be a bit more cramped and cost a little more. If you also want a combination of handling, power, interior materials, and tech options generally only available in a luxury brand without paying $10k for a hood badge, a loaded Escape is a a good option.
