2014 Ford Escape consumer reviews

The car is honestly not bad but the maintenance is out of this world… mine is at 200,000km (125,000miles) and the amount of repairs and maintenance issues are ridiculous, already replaced the transmission, constant oil leaks stay far away!

My car is only 68,000 miles and months ago I’m was driving and the just stop running and I crash because that I call costumer service and they don’t want to help me

I purchased my Ford Escape 2014 SE And four moths later back up camera stop working and back in reverse when it wants to. And my is leaking. I'm constantly putting coolant in it And my car want back when you put it in reverse.

This is the worst vehicle I've ever owned. I bought it from a used dealer and had problems from the second I drove it off the lot. We've had to have the rear axle assembly replaced. The transmission gave us problems in the beginning and now it's starting to stall and kick back again. And don't get me started on the laundry list of recalls on this thing. No matter how often we change the tires, the low tire pressure sensor goes off (even when the tires are fine). The windshield wiper motors have stopped working. The screen behind the steering wheel stays blacked out most of the time, concealing the odometer. And some of the interior is cheaply made/plastic on door handle fell off inside and won't stay on. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD!!!

So I have a 2014 Ford escape ,I loved this car ,until it started running hot and when I shift it will either over accelerate or will not go at all I almost got killed in the middle of a stall out in a busy intersection I took it for recalls and they called to come get it ,said it was fixed I almost died seeing a lawyer soon..

Purchased this car used in 2017 with 42k on it. Currently at 144k has the 2.0l and AWD. I’ve switched immediately to full synthetic, done coolant flushes, and changed all fluids. We have 2 Escapes now 14/16 both with 2.0 and AWD. Love them. We do the preventative maintenance. Hopefully we hit 300k. Most of my previous vehicles have done 266k and 400k.

I bought the 2014 Ford Escape brand new in November 2013. I loved everything about it until September 2022, when the engine coolant light kept coming on. At this time, I had approximately 45,000 miles on it. I only averaged 5000 miles per year as my job was close to home, worked from home sometimes, plus I stayed in mostly during the pandemic. I even drove it relocating from MO to GA in 2021. After taking it to a dealer repair several times (mostly no charge and just topping off fluids), in November 2023 it turns out the engine was failing. I did have a repair to the coolant system once but I believe the engine was failing during that year and it wasn't showing up in the codes. A brand new engine (parts and labor) was quoted at about $14,000 with a 3 year warranty! I declined as the warranty wasn't long enough and that price is half of a new car. Plus that's more to repair than the KBB value of the car ($8,000). So I traded it in (got maximum) and bought a new car (different make and model) instead. My research showed numerous issues with these Ecoboost engines and I didn't find any recalls. There's no way that a car with less than 52,000 miles should have an engine go out! I took care of it and stayed on schedule with maintenance too. I had planned on taking to 100,000 miles, but only less than 52,000 in 10 years!

I have 2014 Ecoboost titanium, lots of recalls, going on 240 thousand miles on it ,routine maitainance ,but last wk turbo went out , so I must be one of the lucky ones hoping to hit the 300 mark

Check engine light on had pressure check .Coolant leaking into motor needs new motor .engine defects. 10,000 repair.replaced plugs and coil.engine light stayed off for 5 days .

I loved this car until the engine cracked at about 73000 miles, cant get new engine until maybe December. took great care of this car , did all the service required and than some. It has been down all summer. We will never buy a Ford again. I also heard this has happened alot with this car and NO recalls on this engine and year model
