I had originally gotten a 2017 which I liked the interior better on, but I thought it was a lemon as gas mileage was horrible, and not what was posted. They allowed me to trade it for the 2016 and it wasn't much better. At first I was getting average 22 miles, though that was city, not highway but now, almost 4 years later (bought used in 2018) it's now getting only 18 city mpgs! Of course it's bad timing for that with price of gas, so I asked mechanic if maybe it needed a tune up or something. He explained its the quality of gas, i.e. amount of ethanol and to stick to higher brand stations. Well that was a bunch of bs too, no difference! Besides horrible gas mileage, It already needed major work that was NOT covered even under extended warranty. It doesn't drive well in the rain, even with new tires. So compared to my 2008 Focus I needed to part with, I hate this car! Not at all what I expected, but stuck with it now. If you're looking into one, do some serious comparisons on gas mileage before deciding if it's worth the crazy high prices. I think it's hyped up more than it should be, not what it's cracked up to be and not worth paying "much more" for.

Feels and works great until the shoddy craftmanship creeps up on you. A few days ago my Ford Escape started having issues just after starting and stopping the vehicle. It made sounds like gears were slipping, groaning, and creaking. Since it was fine otherwise, I didn't think to bring it into a shop. Yesterday after work the car started to make a loud clunk when starting to move and erratic sounds of scraping / metal banging around. I checked numerous times under the car to see if anything was loose and dragging and couldn't see anything. These issues only seem to occur when the car is in low gear(?) and travelling less than 30 or so MPH. I haven't had time to fully diagnose the issue, so I'm not sure if it is transmission related (most likely) or gasket related. I read online that this model series has fairly consistent issues with the transmission and the gaskets, and that Ford will not address the issues unless they occur under the warranty (which typically expires around 10,000 to 20,000 miles before transmission issues are typically reported, even in well-maintained vehicles.) or conduct a recall to fix typically failing parts. I had been driving a 2008 Ford Focus for years and never had a problem with it, so I was more than happy to get this vehicle. However, if the repair turns out to be costly only one and a half months after buying this Ford Escape, I will make sure to never purchase another vehicle from Ford again, used OR new.
