I’ve got 100,000 miles on my 2018 escape with the 1.5. It’s been absolutely trouble free so far aside from a tailgate latch failure. I change the oil every 4,000 miles and have done a transmission service, and ptu service twice. It runs and drives like new still.

I own a 2016 Escape. First, it is not worth the sticker price the dealer was asking which was about 24,000. I negotiated a price under 20,000. Overall it has been a pretty good vehicle. My car has 190,000 miles on it and just last month(August 2021), the transmission went out. A remanufactered one is being installed now. I previously owned a Ford Ranger truck and it lasted well over 280,000 miles.

I have an Escape. Amazing little SUV and mine has 95k and it has barely giving any trouble.

I have a 2015 Ford Escape SE 4wd with145,00 kilometres on it. I’ve had to change the drive shaft about 30,000 kilometres ago. Now my engine light is on and I have a terrible high pitched whistling/ whining noise coming from the vehicle. Anyone experiencing these similar issues? I love the vehicle but wouldn’t purchase one again lol!! Awesome video thanks for sharing.

Very helpful for ford escape owners.. I can say my vehicle can reach 200k base from your feedback 😁

Our 2014 SE version has so many gremlins that it's annoying. Many of them are electrical issues. "System Off To Save Power" and "Vechile Transport Active Mode" came up that I was like, fine. I pulled the positive battery terminal and put it back on 30 seconds later. Cleared that issue. So far. But the 2014 SE is a full on lemon if you ask me.

The battery location alone is enough to make me question buying one! Thank you!! I had been looking at one, a 2014 Titanium model BUT then battery location...Sweet Baby Jesus what were they thinking?? Maybe not as bad as some that out it under the front passenger seat (Audi Q7 suv) as well as many others..still a pain..although not the pain of the Corvettes that had you remove the front tire to get to the battery...

Battery location looks just like my focus and I was able to manage to get it out without taking anything off just tilting the battery and pulling is all that is needed. Still a pain but doable in 5.

Thanks for Video. Ford 💪 #1

I have a 2014 ford escape s…same 2.5l….same everything. We bought it brand new, and it now has 170000 and climbing….no issues except for whatever reason, I’ve had to replace the battery 3 times…battery warranty covered it everytime, but what a nuisance. I did replace the throttle body. Had an engine light and limp mode one morning on the way to work. Code came up a little vague, as most are, as a throttle body issue. And believe it or not, a factory ford unit with a gasket, was 100 bucks….🤷 so I replaced them both myself in about 20 minutes. Easy job… I did keep the old one as the code stated that it could be throttle body or gasket or both as potential issues. Codes get you on a track but not a definite solution and it was cheap enough to just replace them with a ford unit. I change my oil with ford oil and filter every 5000 miles….sometimes less. NOT 10000. I do it myself and you can get the oil and filter at Walmart for around 30 or less. Spark plugs are motorcraft every time. So far…it’s been an excellent vehicle.

Have a 2011 w/82,000 miles. Only issues were w/the terribly designed AC. Repaired under extended warranty. Been a damn good vehicle otherwise.

Great review bro welcome back to the internet lol

I drive a 14 Escape SE for work and it doesn't have the rear cargo 12 volt, and the tray on the top of the center console is missing... It looks like the radio display shows the date in a different spot & I don't know if it has the rear right seat hideaway compartment... Differences are the color match door handles on the outside, window tinting, and the alloy wheels are standard instead of optional... funny enough there's another 14 escape SE in the company's fleet that has everything on the one I mentioned, and does have the same radio display as yours, as well as the cargo outlet... must be a-la-cart options on the base?

I don't have the exact mileage, but I can estimate it at about 141,500 miles based on some of the notes I still have on the vehicle. As for price, I no longer have that information.

I drove a 2nd Gen Hybrid as a taxicab a few years ago. I hit an 8 point buck head on and caused 7k in damages

I'm not sure that trim level the 2nd Gen Hybrid Escape I drove was but it had a AC power outlet in the center console.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have a 2014 titanium. Change the transmission fluid often, and change fluid in the PTU. Anybody have an eratic back up camera? That is the only problem.

I love my 2014 Titanium Ford Escape. I have 99,600 miles on my 1.6 liter Escape. Did I mention I love my Ford Escape?

Mines just hit 180k. 2014 Ford Escape SE ecoboost. Second turbo, needing a transmission, bunch of shit replaced already.

Junk yards are your best friend for interior things.

I got a 1st Gen v6 179,000 miles but the engine blew up but it was my fault now I'm looking to buy a 2014 with the 1.6l turbo but I don't know anything about the 1.6l, is any good?

Thanks for your review. I own a 2013 Escape. I'll never buy another Ford vehicle because of the stupid location of the battery in the Escape. I wonder what the Ford engineers were thinking when they put the battery up under the windshield wipers? Probably the same engineers that didn't think it was worth the extra money to shield the gas tanks on the Pinto.

We totally skipped the 3rd gen Escape and kept our 2nd generation 2.3L 2012 ZD (Asia) and it's still going strong this 2021... Sort of, the front transaxle oil is leaking (not dripping) by the shaft, we can just ignore it until it totally drips in the garage maybe for another 2 to 3 years.

The lug nuts are two piece. There is an outer chrome cap sized to the onboard wrench. Once that chrome cap swells, it is nearly impossible to remove the lug nuts since the chrome caps spin around the real lugs. Of course the real lugs are smaller than the chrome cap and don’t work with the onboard wrench. Easy to fix by just replacing the lugs with one piece lug nuts.
