My Escape was a loaner car at the dealership. Gave me multiple discounts. Very pleased with this vehicle. Took it to Myrtle Beach, SC and through a long Monsoon storm - handled excellent. I would highly recommend the Escape. Only trouble(and this was minor) When I turned off ignition, my cell (which was synched to the car) called, like butt-dialing, last person to call me . I unsynched the phone and all is good now.

Just love the Ford Escape. Just the right size not too big but still has enough room for comfort. Perfect for running around with grandkids and great gas mileage.

I purchased a 2018 Ford Escape SE awd with the 1.5 EcoBoost engine brand new in March of 2018. From brand new I noticed the loss of engine coolant. The dealer took a leak down test, found nothing, topped up the coolant and sent me on my merry way. For almost the next two years still kept loosing coolant. Took it to the dealer every time to have coolant added and finally asked them to do another leak down test and at 65,000 km (40,000 miles) found that the block was cracked and replaced the engine under warranty. Then left front wheel bearing failed. Now the right front wheel bearing has failed at 86,000 km (53,750 miles) along with the water pump (21,000 km 13,000 miles) and both rear lower control arm bushings (not covered under warranty at about 53,000 miles $550. Which I am fighting with Ford Canada so far have lowered the price to about $200. which to me is not acceptable) Oh I almost forgot, a leaking front CV boot. Substandard parts, substandard SUV. NO LEMON LAWS IN CANADA!!!! I still owe $19,000 on this piece of junk.

Got a dud

The 2018 AWD Ecoboost has been nothing but problems. Been back to dealer for “thud” sound when backing up, they said it can be fixed with straps on gas tank...it still goes “thud” when backing up. I keep thinking I’ve hit something. Next was creeking sound in the rear of car when turning...they couldn’t figure that one out. Then the engine block cracked and they had to replace it. The techs didn’t attach the shields underneath so they fell out while I’m driving. Took it back to fix and they fell down again today. The new engine now surges when idling and and rolling off of a stop. Techs didn’t know what is causing that so awaiting info from engineering. Seems like anytime I drive it something else goes wrong. Tired of making the long trip to the dealer! I liked the car before all this...good size, nice features, etc., but wish it would run right.
Check Engine Light - regularly happening

Bought a brand new 2018 Ford Escape 1.5L EcoBoost with 6 miles on it. Took it in for its first oil change at the recommended 5,000 mark and 2 days later back in with an oil leak. It has been in regularly since for check engine lights. Spark plugs replaced 2 times, Cylinder head replaced and currently in getting a short block replaced. Have not had the car 2 years yet and I have been back to service over a dozen times due to issues and check engine lights. I would not recommend it and I have owned Fords my whole life with the exception of a 2 year span where I had a Sonata. I don't want this care anymore and can't sell it to anyone in good faith, trade in value would put me to upside down in another so here I am stuck with a new car under 40K miles, that I don't like, don't trust and still 3 years left to pay on it. FORD should make it right for all the issues everyone has had with this engine.
