2016 Ford Escape consumer reviews

Do your homework and research the vehicle of your choice. I bought the escape used in 2024. So far, no recalls and it was a great buy, and I love it. I have the 2.0 turbo 240 horsepower. I use premium gas, full synthetic oil and change the transmission fluid every 30 thousand miles. I also read that once you get to your destination, let the car idle for 10 seconds so the turbo has time to rid any excess output.

We bought our 2016 Ford Escape new in 2015. it has been a great vehicle and trouble free the entire time.We currently have approximately 155000 miles on the vehicle and would certainly buy another Escape.It still looks and runs as new and everyone thinks it's a new car even now.

2016 Ford Escape Pros: - interior is very comfortable - very nice infotainment features - good mpg Cons: - Bad Transmission after 150,000 miles. - frame rusts quickly - expensive to repair

The transmission has gone out 2x on my 2016 Ford Escape. Not even 100,000 miles yet. First went out at 80,000 miles. Ford will not help. This vehicle has been well maintained with maintenance. I’ll never buy another Ford.

80k issue free original brakes not one problem good mileage to boot Rides great handles great excellent performance only replaced tires so far I highly recommend this model

Purchased this used 2016 Ford Escape SE Ecoboost 4WD (108k miles) from our local Lithia Ford dealer, and I commute 64 miles a day from home to work, and so far I am very impressed. the little 1.6 liter engine has a big heart, and a fun amount of power. The seats are high quality, and the best my wife & I have encountered so far (we rent a lot of cars from Enterprise). Handles great, and feels like a bigger car. The only cons so far : High beam switch takes getting used too. From steering wheel to display touch screen, the wiper control arm is always in the way, turning on wipers. Can't wait for winter to try out 4wd :)

Due to things noted when brought to the attention of the Darling Ford they said nothing was wrong. ON recall car came back with computer set back to date of manufacture of 2015 when contacted they said they never touch anything that would set it back.Funny because it was fine till they touched it. This vehicle is very well maintained. Then lost transmission after they fixed a recall on the shifter cable. Had a brand new one put in.And the computer went back to the same year and date of production. So was sent to Heights in Skowhegan to reset the computers and they could not fugure it out after 6 grand it still messes up but no one can fix it.Since things got costly and this car is on excellent shape I would recommend looking for a vehicle that stands behind work and maintenance. I like the car but can not see this much hoing wrong when its neve hardly being used. Plus if you read the reviews and complaints on different pages its the same thing with others people are having.When your a senior citizens I do not think business gives a care.

2016 value went down to 11k. Seats are not good for long trips. AC works good. Not a fan of the stereo. Like the front view windshield.

I bought my escape October 2021. I have put about 30k miles on it and now sits at 110k. I’m 6’3” and I have plenty of head room. Auto parallel parking comes in handy way more than expected. 2.0 engine has a smooth ride and good on gas

I bought my 2016 Ford escape used with 89,000 mi on it from a Ford dealership. Within months it needed the power steering fixed and that cost me $2,700. Now my headlights have gone out and I don't know why and I have a blown head gasket and my car is at 104,000 mi. It is also had two recalls on it.This is not a very reliable car and it cost way too much to fix anything that goes wrong with it. It is not worth buying! I still owe $6,000 on this car and wish I had never bought it!!!!!
