I bought a 2017 escape 2.0 se in 2016 and at 16k miles I started experiencing a rattling noise from the front struts and a stiffer ride then when it was new almost like they're worn out. Well at 35k miles and numerous dealership visits I'm going through the lemon law after I was lied to about my issue and it was said to be many things causing it and it was normal. The trans has a 2 to 3 gear hesitation which cause it to pause and jerk the car each time it shifts, the dealership has only provided excuses and outdated tsb to fix the issue. I always heard Ford had a great customer service so I bought a ford remaining optimistic about he good things I've seen and heard, well. Needless to say I'll never buy another Ford and I'd advise you to do the same

When I was looking at the car for aesthetics , the car looked terrific! It was an American-made model and I was excited to be able to purchase one. At the time I looked at the carpet and I said to myself the carpet looks like felt. Like a heavy duty felt not carpet. But I guess that was not important at the time the other amenities were more positive in my mind And I forgot about the thought about the carpet. Now six months later and I am the only driver of the car the carpet on the driver side is pulling out like pieces of hair. I am very disappointed in the quality of the so-called carpet. I don’t really think it is carpet not in the sense of what we knew carpet 10 years ago. The mileage is very poor per gallon !

Mileage is better than expected averaging Surprisingly 29.4 mpg. For a base unit, it is a wonderful car. Car was brand new off the lot with almost no miles on it. Handles very nice, holds turns excellent. Lots of head room. Never enough power outlets though, but after market accessories was easy to fix. Car is very quiet. Have to watch speed, it will get away from you easily if not using cruise control... looked at speedometer and was doing 85 before I knew it. Very smooth ride. Comfortable for longer distance. Plenty of room in front seats. Doesn't feel cramped. It is a car I am enjoying owning. I have had no issues with this car in any capacity.

The Escape is a great little car. It's pleasant to drive, it has a monstrous amount of cargo space, and gets good gas mileage. The ride definitely isn't Lincoln quality but it's comfortable enough. I would greatly recommend the car itself to anyone. However, BUYER BEWARE! If you purchase one of these cars, DO NOT BUY A BLUE ONE! There are numerous paint defects that have been reported with this color (paint peeling and flaking off), mine is one of them (I think that the paint color is called Lightning Blue Metallic). Not only that, but rust has appeared behind the rear passenger doors. So far, Ford is refusing to address the problem. I keep the vehicle clean, so owner maintenance is not to blame. Since it is three months out of the bumper to bumper warranty, the dealership is attempting to refuse to address the problem. So far, I'm looking at $1,500+ in repair costs on a three year old car, which is completely inexcusable. So while I think it is an excellent little car, please heed my warning!

Love the color white gold metallic. Smaller than my previous car but handles much better. Easier to backup, turn around, handle on the road, and stops great. Wonderful features. The back has plenty of room for mulch, garden purchases, groceries. First time that I had heated seats!! Really enjoy driving it and would recommend it. Power steering went on the car under 7,000 miles and not a year old. The steering gear had to be replaced. I still love the car. With all the computerized things on the cars today this can happen. Power steering went for the second time and had to be replaced. Had one recall and had that fixed. Still love the car. Got rid of it because the paint was peeling off.
