We bought this car on monday. Check engine light turned on thursday. This was a used 2017 with 30K miles on it. Turns out we need a new engine. So now we dont have the car and will be without it for quite some time.

2017 Escape Titanium 1.5L My 2 day review. If you’re looking for a compact SUV, definitely test drive this. If you still like it, take it out for an extended test drive. My dealer let me take it out on my own for over an hour. I went for the Titanium. Had to have the key-less entry with push button start and remote start, and hands-free lift gate. I was torn between the 2.0L and 1.5L. I went with the 1.5L and think it is fine. I got a left over 2017 and got lots of rebates and discounts (around 6k). I also test drove the CR-V and CX5. I wanted something sporty so it was between the Escape and CX5. I did not like the new styling of the CX5 and was not thrilled with the seat, which is very important to me. If you want great visibility all around nothing comes close to the Forester. I know because I had a 2017 Forester Premium with Eyesight. It was very nice, but the seats were not good and it was not at all sporty. Enter the Escape. Great seats, nice tight handling, the 1.5L is fairly quick, the 2.0L is fast and the Sync 3 with Apple CarPlay is great. No Navigation needed since you can use Apple Maps or Google Maps (Android Auto). It is fun to drive and has lots of great features: Power Leather seats with memory, dual auto temp controls, courtesy lighting all over, lots of places for stuff, Sync 3 with 8” screen, Sony stereo, Key-less entry (keep key in pocket), remote start thru key and thru Ford App and power and hands-free tail gate (you use you foot). The only options I got were the panoramic sunroof and adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning. I avoided the 19” wheels and tires because they are too low profile for city streets, especially with potholes. I have the 18” wheels and had the dealer include the wheel and tire insurance, just in case. I will update as I get more time in the car.

I bought my 2017 Escape Titanium 2.0L 4WD back in August of 2020. On May 3, 2021 I discovered water had filled up in my spare tire well in the rear cargo area underneath the cover. I searched online and found out this is a very common problem on the 2013-2019 Escapes. First I thought all I needed to do was reseal the roof rack screws and my problem would be fixed. But it turned out after I did that water still floods in the back. I have now learned that there is a roof seam in the ditch where the roof rack rails are and Ford used the wrong type of sealant. Now I have to take my Escape to a body shop to have the entire roof rail ditch resealed and hope that it doesn't leak inside again. Some people have had water flooding in to their front A posts (by the windshield) up near the headliner and causing water stains. If you buy and Escape or already own one I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO CHECK YOUR SPARE TIRE WELL AREA. If I never checked mine and let the water fill up any higher it would have done damage to my carpet and electronics as there is an electrical box for my Sony sound system and another black electrical box back there.

Say far away from this car with a 60,000 mile drive train warranty and engine failed by getting coolant in the cylinder and only fix is a new engine for over $8,000, and they will pay $2,500 after numerous calls and poor customer service they agreed to pay $5,000 and they have no problem with me switching to another brand of car

Aside from all the neat features and just the overall appeal of this vehicle, I had a pretty nasty car accident where I ended up on my side, and I’m pretty sure if it weren’t for the size of this car I would have died. So yeah, I think this car is great.
