Escape has been in the shop 7 times for the same issue and all under 2000kms. I recieved exactly 99 Charging system fault warning in the two weeks it was parked and not moving. When I drove it, I would get the alert every 3-4 minutes along with a burning smell.

The hybrid doesn’t provide an equally transferable distance for what you give up in gas tank size, the car auto shuts off if you idle too long (can’t disable), and it doesn’t link smoothly to Apple CarPlay. Very frustrating that some basic features are lacking and the forced shut down is extremely irritating. Find something else that doesn’t make decisions for you.
Electric range only very poor

Purchased 2023 ford escape hybrid top of the line model loaded. Enjoy car very much except for fords electric only range, ford rates escape hybrid 37 miles electric only. My ford escape hybrid get 21 miles per full charge. I feel ripped off but now I’m stuck with this poor performance on electric power only.

I rented a brand new 2023 Escape ST Line from Enterprise from San Francisco Airport. I own a RAV4 Hybrid and have been curious how an Escape compares. Since this was a newest refresh of the Escape, I took it over an older Sportage and a Compass. The Escape struggled to get up grades on the freeways. I discovered this Escape has a tiny 1.5 liter turbo 3 cylinder engine. Why on earth would you insert a tiny engine, turbo or not, in anything but an economy car? I had to push my foot all the way down to make the delayed turbo kick in. And the angle of the accelerator pedal was weird. Because of having to struggle the steep hills of the Bay Area, highway fuel economy was not great as you would think. 25? The most obnoxious problem was the auto start / stop. The engine kept kicking even with my foot firmly on the brake pedal stopped at red lights. Like it was possessed. Drove me crazy and I didn’t know how to turn it off. After two days I was ready to bring the car back and switch. Well, I had a good excuse… the rear power window got stuck in the down position. Maybe a bad switch? On a brand new car with a few thousand miles on it!!!!! I tried everything but it would not work again. Another thing I noticed was the skin on my finger would get pinched by the power window switches. No matter how hard I try with my subsequent Hyundai Kona and Honda Passport rentals, I could not pinch my finger. Also, I didn’t like like the odd graph like fuel gage. I didn’t know what I was looking at. Stop reinventing things that don’t need to be reinvented. I was so glad to be out of the Escape. It’s a shame, because it was fairly comfortable, rode well and felt solid, not tinny like my reliable RAV4. It’s like the two different groups designed this car. One group who wanted to make it great, and another who wanted to destroy it.
