Used 2018 Ford Escape Consumer Reviews
dandy
36,000 miles
Cargo plus, motor minus
I have lugged everything from a new deep freezer to a washing machine to a dryer to moving college kids in and out multiple times... it's been great for that. Around 60 or 80k miles, I kept getting a misfire in cylinder 3. You a tuneup after being told that's what the issue was. Misfire again and mechanic thought it was a faulty spark plug being it was after market. So he changed it to a Ford one. Happened again. He found a Ssevice Bulletin, different from a safety recall because it didn't "present a safety issue" and he suggested I take it to a Ford Dealership and reach out to Ford Motor Co. I would not advise buying a 2018 Ford Escape based on this. The total cost was about $4k. It may or may not happen to yours but why take the risk? You've been warned.

Transmission Issue
Had car into dealer for repair under warranty. Told me it was oil pan leak. Had car somewhere else before that was told transmission. Argued with dealer about other problem,but wouldn’t listen. Made complaint at warranty center. Told them situation about another diagnosed. Wanted it cover if problems in a few months. Now car in shop 2/1/2 months later and it’s the transmission.But me making a complaint didn’t do anything will have to pay for myself. What a joke. Why get a case number and have it on record and nothing gets done. Dealership and Ford warranty and Ford pushes it on each other . Nobody wants to do [non-permissible content removed]. Don’t believe anything the car dealership tell you or believe your warranty covers anything. 5 yrs and 3 months had escape only 40,000 miles what a piece of crap don’t buy.
