Last Ford I'll Ever Buy

It took less than a year after buying a used 2017 Ford Escape for it to have engine problems, resulting in an engine and turbo replacement. Then, less than 3 months later, catastrophic transmission failure! I wish I had read reviews before buying. Apparently this model is known for these failures. But Ford didn't bother to recall or replace these faulty major components.

It seems ok but it's way 2 small, tight seats with the console. . Leg position isn't comfortable , no leg room in back seat . The radio isn't very good . Not much space in trunk area . Really regret the purchase

2017 Ford Escape 1.5L

Stay away from this car. I had check engine light come on diagnosed it says cylinder 3 misfire. Changed spark plugs and coil packs. Later in the week check engine light comes back on. I take it back to the same shop they said “no” take it to ford not going to deal with it. I take it to ford. They said cylinder 3.. coolant is leaking inside.. small leak.. needs new engine.. this car is terrible I regret buying it. Who the F*** puts a 1.5L engine in a SUV. Worst engineering. Stay away I’m warning you. If you looking for good car I have a 2016 ford fusion 2.0 L best car I’ve ever owned bought it brand new and every 50K miles I did new spark plugs coil packs, keep up with oil changes no issues. She’s pushing 147K miles.

My 2017 escape had paint coming off on the passenger side at the windshield we had to discuss with Ford to fix it we had to pay 250.00 to help fix it and now the driver side next to the windshield it coming off all we do is wash it ugggggg very disappointed in that but I love my Ford escape so I guess the paint job doesn't last as long as the car that sucks

Hurricane on the road

This car will produce a noise from the window and doors due to poor sound proofing and insulation. The noise is above average that it becomes uncomfortable during long drives.
