100,000 miles had to replace the transmission just under

100,000 miles had to replace the transmission just under $7,000.00. Less than 1,000 miles later new motor. Haven't got the bill on it yet. This car was the top of the line. had all the bells and whistles. I was very disappointed in this automobile. Was counting on 150,000 or better before anything bad going wrong

Had the car for 5yrs.

Had the car for 5yrs. Less than 55,000 miles. Needs a replacement motor!!!! $17k. I don’t think so. I’ll drive until it dies. Junk!! We have owned nothing but Ford. Time to look into Chevy.

I would recommend yes if they didn’t have the service

I would recommend yes if they didn’t have the service bulletin out to keep checking antifreeze levels due to intrusion issues which could cost high dollars if Ford doesn’t replace

I Loved my 2019 Ford Escape!

I Loved my 2019 Ford Escape! It was my third Escape, as I previously owned a 2005, and a 2011! Sadly, it was my last as FORD's new version of the Escape is AWFUL! I NEVER had one issue with my 2019, and I drove over 94,000 miles over the 6 1/2 Years that I owned it! However, the resale value SUCKS! I know it's just the game they play at the dealers, but it's an ugly game where the consumer always loses! But - it's only money,,, and you can't take it with you!

I've bought 3 escapes, but this will be the last.

I've bought 3 escapes, but this will be the last. 30 days after bought, the transmission was shot. Got a factory replacement, it lasted barely a week and died again. I'm typing this from the auto repair waiting room while a relative is coming to pick me up. They are going to need to replace again. Thank gosh I have a warranty this time, as they are very expensive replacements...almost high as the value after labor.

The only problem I have with this SUV is resale value.

The only problem I have with this SUV is resale value. $6000 not sure why it is so low. I like the SUV and thinking about up grading.

Love my Escape

Love this car. It is my first time owning an SUV and it is great. Meets all comfort & convenience requirements . Probably my most enjoyed is elevated seating provided by an SUV. Also enjoy heated seats now that I am older.

Get your ear plugs

Noisiest car I ever owned. Beep, beep, beep, ding ,ding, ding, honk, honk!! Everything thing you do, the thing has some sort of sound alert. Nothing but nerve racking. Can't even close the door when the engine is running without the horn going off, probably waking up the neighbors. I guess Ford can't think of anything else to do, in their attempt to justify their prices. Sometimes I give my ears a vacation using my older Nissan Sentra. Ahhh...peace and quiet!
