I hate my 2013 Ford Escape - 2013 Ford Escape
By hartson - August 18 - 2:19 pmI have had problem after problem in the 10 months of owning this car. Leak in tire to start, then sync issues, then bad head light due to bad wiring at Ford manufacturing, horn goes off when open back hatch (sometimes), now water leaking under car, air and heat stop working and the latest vehicle health report says to take in right away for service due to brakes and suspension service required. I bought a new car to avoid problems. And I gave up a Toyota with 100k miles with no problems. Now I have to spend my valuable time once again taking in for service. Also, the last time the dealer acted like they were doing me a favor when they fixed the head light - Really!!!

2013 Escape has overheated twice now after recall fix - 2013 Ford Escape
By jerseygirl77 - June 29 - 3:00 pmThere is something wrong with the 1.6L engine & transmission combo. My car has overheated twice after doing uphill climbs in the California hills. Im guessing the transmission is overheating since it never knows what gear to be in, which is causing the turbo to overheat. Ford cant seem to figure out whats wrong though. If you search on the DOT website for complaints, the overheating post recall is popping up a bit. You can also see all the other transmission problems this car is having if you search around on the Ford Escape forums.

Not a dependable vehicle. Move on to something else - 2013 Ford Escape
By roggom - April 19 - 5:52 pmMy escape is very glichy. Sometimes the radio will not work, or the remotes do not work. The next day they will be fine. It is not the restricted driver feature, as I got very familiar with that garbage very qucikly. The first week I had the car, the rear hatch handle (used to close the hatch) came completly off. I did not yank it just pulled down and it came off in my hand. Yes, the car is zippy on dry road, but you get into a few inches of snow or mud and this silly vehicle will bog down and start slowing down. It must have some anti-slip slow down feature as all it does it make it impossible to move. ON heavy snow days I can not park in my own driveway.

Life with the escape - 2013 Ford Escape
By bbgun1 - April 18 - 8:58 pm10,000 miles now. Rides better but still poor. Poor controls and you can not turn on the front wiper with out turning on the rear. Oor fuel economy. It now gets 22 mpg on the highway and 22 around town. various electrical glitches. Radio stays on when car is locked and doors are closed. No passing gear after 60 mph. would not recomend this car to anyone.
