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.

Complete waste of money

I bought a used 2017 Escape SE 2 days ago with under 70,000 miles in great shape. At First I loved it. The battery, alternator, and tires were in great condition. Not 24 hours later the Auxiliary Transmission Fluid Pump went out with a bill of $8000 for a whole new transmission. I bought it without warranty as is. All of this happened on my birthday by the way. Please please don't invest in this piece of junk. Avoid this car like the plague!!

We just purchased this car and so far we're very happy with its appearance, comfort, and performance. The finishes inside and out are outstanding. Interior is very well designed and done. Handling, acceleration, steering, brakes are all excellent.

Stay Away! It broke down completely, no lights, no engine no nothing with a grand total of less than 15oo miles on it. The first payment isn't even due and I have to get it towed to the dealer. Ford Road side Assistance-- I've been waiting for them for almost three hours.
