2018 Ford Escape consumer reviews

Paid 32000 dollars and got 100000 miles when motor blows up and 10000 dollars to replace motor. Definitely will never buy another piece of xxxx ford!!!

At 80,000 the small engine block went out that was over $6000 to repair.... 13,000 miles later the transmission went out another $6,000. I always get it serviced when it is due so that's not the issue. The dealer told me this make and model is know for it mainly the 1.5 liter engine. Be aware! Now the auto stop start won't work and the exhaust is having issues. I'm highly upset.

I bought my 2018 escape se with 41,000 miles. It’s was a gold certified pre owned vehicle with a 60,000 mile warranty. It’s currently sitting at 86,000 miles and has spent no time in the shop other than basic maintenance and brakes. It runs, drives, and handles beautifully and that 1.5 ecoboost has plenty of power. Highly recommend this vehicle. We absolutely love our Escape!

I was pleasantly surprised when i picked up the car today. This is a Ford Escape SEL 2018. It was immaculately cleaned. Lots of trunk space, I really enjoy the leather seats. Jere law at Varsity Lincoln Ford in Novi is an incredible salesman. He made sure that everything was taken car of for me. He really took the time to make sure i was happy. This is my first time owning a SUV. I am very happy with the service and dedication.

It has been one thing after the other with this car. In the shop last week going back this week with the same problem plus more. Thank goodness we took out our extended warranty. Just about all warning lights are on. I would love to share a photo share apparently it can k no it on here.

I bought my 2018 Titanium Escape about 2 years ago with about 32000 miles. Now two years later I have just hit 46000 miles. At first I had some warranty work that had to be taken care of. Display on the HVAC had numbers out, the sync 3 was completely crazy and it had a bubble in the paint on the lower inside drivers door. All work was completed. The dealer service was outstanding. No hassles . Like any new car to you, the Escape took time to learn where and what all the features were. The Titanium has A LOT of bells and whistles. It took many reads of the owners manual to figure out what they were. Now that I've learned I am very pleased. Things like Lane corection, adaptive Cruise control, blind spot monitoring and a dozen more features are very useful. It has auto park and to be honest I don't use it , but it has it so I had to try it out, and it works like a charm. Many people I know have that feature on their cars, but have never tried it. The interior is nice, except I don't like the seat back configuration with a bulging pillow top along the seat back. It's all for show but a pain in the back for many people. Ford, get wise and build for comfort , not show. The extra large windshield is great. Best forward viability I have seen in modern vehicles. Heater controls are hard to identify . They are mounted low and in a dark area that requires the driver to take his eyes off the road. So that's the negative. And I'm being picky. This SUV is fun to drive, sure footed and comfortable. 2.0 turbo has guts and the fuel mileage is acceptable for this amount of power. Quality of interior parts is above average, as is the quality of the leather seats. All windows are express which is handy. Puddle lights on the front doors are helpful when coming up to the car at night. The keypad entry is nice when you're outside and don't have your keys but want to get in the car. The hands free rear tailgate is great! I use it nearly every day. The sun visors that slide to give you protection from the sun when it's shinning in the side window is a winning feature. The Sync 3 system is great! Ford got it right. It's fast, accurate and voice commands work very well. When I bought this Escape I liked it. Now two years later I love it. I'm not a Techie guy, just a 75 year old retiree who is willing to adapt to modern Ideas

Be sure to get the Titanium model with the larger engine. It is a joy to drive, to start remotely on a cold winter morning, and to use the GPS to find almost anything. I especially like the warning lights that show cars on either side. It is a great car.

Needed a new engine at 73000 miles. Had a cracked block! Needed new CV axles and tierods. It's been ridiculous. The known leaky coolant issue also ruined the $1300 catalytic convertor.

We've bought a 2011 Escape and traded it in for the 2018 fwd. I much prefer the 2011 model that drove like a truck and had a better subjective design and way better 360 degree visibility. Yet styles change and the 2018 fwd looks like a crossover. The model we chose had a small screen but there were other good featured like fuel economy and big front windshield. It had good cargo space and some storage by the spate tire. Happy Trails and use the vehicle to escape to the outdoors from the cement jungle of the busy city life.

Good gas mileage, no space in backseat, eco boost engine has a lot of power, descent. Cargo space !! I do not recommend this car for anybody over 5-11 in height
