2015 Ford Escape SE 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
16 of 23 people found this review helpful
My 2015 Escape is a low quality vehicle. It suffers from stalling during acceleration as well as generally long turbo lag, very hard bangs coming from the transmission when you slow down then speed up again as well as a few occasions when it got stuck in 3rd gear until I came to a complete stop and loud highway noise inside. I have the SE 1.6L ecoboost 2WD.

Purchased my new Ford Titanium Escape in January. Been driving it for over a month in winter conditions and love it. Visibility is better than my wife's Ford Edge, pep and acceleration is better than the Edge. Understand that the Edge does have more comfort for long drives, etc.(its a higher end vehicle). The FWD performs great on snow/ice. Ford Sync is great, use voice commands a lot. Only downside is to reach the Ford Sync controls, its a little stretch. Love having the sunroof along with the roof rack. Can't wait to cut loose in the summer in this vehicle.

I used to get good MPG, 22 in city, 28 highway, ever since the so called recall for who knows what my MPG suck, 17-19 city, 22 highway and I am not a fast start, dime stop driver. What happened, who knows, took to dealer and their test says overall 22mpg, that SUCKS. I have 9000 miles on this car and why did it drop, well Ford claims it is not due to the recall, I disagree 100% as it happened after the update. NO LONGER OWN CAR, WAS TOTALED BY HIT AND RUN DRIVER GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR. FOUND OUT IT RATES VERY LOW IN SAFETY, LIKE IN THE 40S OUT OF 53 VEHICLES. Now own a Subaru Outback, true mileage as stated, comfort equal or better but some things not as good. Each vehicle has good and bad and trying to make the perfect one means taking from each and making one from scratch. Won't be buying another Ford, and this is my 2nd Escape, first one was a LEMON, had it 5 weeks and was in shop every week. Ford in my opinion is 100J% WRONG, I asked them to remove the update considering it can be done, it is a computer they do it to and they mouth off about some stupid government law saying they can't do it. So be careful if you expect to get good mileage, you will not. I cannot give high marks for anything because of poor miles per gallon after the recall. The information below is good except for zip code, will not allow me to enter mine and the miles, I have 8,800 miles UPDATE: July 12, 2016 car was totaled by a hit and run driver. As for safety, it is not highly rated but did not know that till I started shopping for a replacement car. Rated around 40ish out of 50. New car rated 1,2, and 3, all Subaru's I chose the Outback and not another Ford.

2500 miles and twice to dealership

Bought a 2015 Escape S in Feb 2015. As of August 2015 it has 2500 miles on the ODO, sleeps in a covered garage safe from the elements. It has been to the dealership twice for safety recalls. While I appreciate that the manufacturer issued the safety recalls, I think that their quality control is lacking and could have avoided these recalls. Due to these recalls, I have lost 2 half days from work and had to spend money out of pocket for taxi to get back to the dealer (they offer one way shuttle). I purchased a new vehicle because I couldn't afford to be losing time off work, but its a lesson learnt. It is also amazing that a cargo cover is an option that doesn't come with a vehicle that's listed for $23,500. To ford's credit they had a representative call me to find out if the vehicle was working properly after the 2 dealer visits, but if they invest in quality control Vs resources for follow up calls, they would have prevented this review. This is my first experience with ford (I wanted to buy American) after being a customer of japanese manufacturers for 20+ years. I have to say that I am underwhelmed and wish I had stayed with a Japanese car. I'm in the process of investigating trading in this vehicle for another brand because of my experience so far.

Have had the windshield checked out and was told this is because of the poor design. The whistle inside the vehicle is almost deafening at times. Very dissatisfied with this problem with the ford escape. Had the body shop seal the front window and noise went away. Sold this vehicle
