Never again
Bought new, at 3 years old had 31,000 km and engine had to be replace. Not long after warranty was up the paint started peeling. I guess the White 2017 is know for this. Be careful buyers.

Engine Failed After 70,000 miles
I have a 2017 Escape Titanium with the EcoBoost engine. Engine light came on and coolant leaked into the engine. Now I'm having the engine replaced.
accountCircle Mary R
Safe, comfortable, and roomy.
This is the 3rd escape I have owned and I love it. I have never had any performance problems with this manufacturer or model. It handles well and I love the fact it has all wheel drive which serves me well during the winter months. It has plenty of room for passengers and the cargo space is capable of holding lots of items with no problem.
accountCircle Karen L
I am in love with my escape!
Great value for the money. It is good on gas. It has a peppy engine to be able to pass when necessary. It has lots of luxury features. My favorites is heated seats and remote start. It has sensors for oil change and tire pressure and blind spot detection. I would definitely consider buying another when the time comes.
accountCircle Evelyn A
Happy with 2017 ford escape.
I just bought it in sept 2020 used from carmax. I have had no problems with it at all. Very impressed with the performance and reliability. It also is the right size car for my husband my, and little one set to arrive in 4 months. I also enjoy the rear view camera.
accountCircle Sara D
The se is affordable mid package to consider.
The vehicle is great however there has been sensor issues since the first month that I have had the car. Every time it is cold out the engine light will come on, but yet nothing will be wrong. Everything is great other than that. The vehicle is a smooth ride. Reliable and dependable.
accountCircle Maxine L
Comfortable and affordable SUV.
This is a great car. It drives comfortably, not like a truck, but it can handle rugged terrain and hills very well. The back seat is not the most comfortable, but the captains chairs and console are great. We keep the oil changed and have had no repairs as of yet (knock wood),

Up until one week ago I have absolutely loved my Ford Escape, then I noticed paint peeling off around the front windshield. Yesterday I took it to the dealership and was told that it is not Ford's problem. I have since read many reviews on the shoddy, thin coats of paint that Ford uses.

Great car
Bought it brand new in november 2016 i have put over 500,000 miles on it. The biggest issue it has had is the water pump went out at 374k. It cost about 4 grand to get replaced at the dealer. Other then that it has been great. I have used the Advanta ER-700 tires on it since the original Michelin Latitudes wooer out. I also ended up driving 7k on the spare tire and it was still fine. It has been in 3 accidents and i was fine in all 3 of them. 10/10 would recommend.
accountCircle Cynthia M
It is a good standard crossover.
I have not had any issues with my equinox. I feel very comfortable driving it, although I wish the headrest was a little more comfortable. It is easy to drive. I wish I could wirelessly connect my phone for music and the 4 cylinder takes awhile to get up to speed from stopped position.
accountCircle Courtney W
Best Chevrolet ever built.
Nice, comfortable, roomy vehicle with auto and manual drive. Plenty of power under the hood. Has excellent gas mileage. Has lots of trunk space. I love the roof rack. The vehicle has lots of power. It comes with and eco feature to save on gas. Wouldn't trade this car for the world.
accountCircle Natasha B
Perfect vehicle for a smaller family!
I got my vehicle about 6 months ago and I absolutely love it. I have 2 younger kids and it has more than enough room for them. I have had no problems with it thus far and it does great on gas. I am easily pleased but also picky so this fit perfectly for my needs and wants. The backup camera really comes in handy also. It does not feel like I am driving a bigger vehicle even though it is bigger than my last car.
accountCircle Annette W
The good the bad and the shiny.
There is chrome finish on the interior by the shifter. Instead of the brushed nickel it is the high shine chrome. On sunny days and sometimes with street lights it will flash off the highly polished surface and blind you temporarily. I will say that the turning radius is much improved from the older models.
accountCircle Victoria W
Great affordable and reliable car.
This vehicle drives well and the gas mileage is good. I wish I had more electronic features. Great space in the trunk and backseat. I would like for the passenger seat to have automatic buttons. Needs the spacers between the seats so items do not fall in the gap’s.
accountCircle Euselda P
Equinox review of my second vehicle which is also a Chevy.
Car performance is great. Car is overall reliable with a few wear and tear on the vehicle. The equinox is a very comfort car to drive. It sits high up unlike the Chevy Malibu. It features satellite radio. At the end of each month you get a car report that identifies what is working and what items requires yuh our attention. I bought the equinox brand new. The only thing that I have had to change thus far was the battery.
accountCircle Jenn S
Use your phone to start, lock or unlock your vehicle.
I have not had any problems with my vehicle so far and it has been my daily driver since I purchased it. I have put 80,000 miles on it and it is been very reliable. The only critiques I could really have are I wish it had dual climate for heat and cooling.

I like the fuel efficiency. I do not spend as much on gas as I did before.
Wish the seats were more comfortable. Otherwise the car runs and drives great. The engine shut down feature sometimes makes the car completely shut down. Then you have to put the car in park, shut it off and restart it. This can be troublesome in traffic.
accountCircle Charlie G
My personal experience with the 2017 ford escape.
I recently purchased this vehicle, I believe it was April of this year. This car is very dependable while also offering great gas mileage. I haven't had any issues with the mechanics of the car. The only issue I have had is that sometimes when the car first turns on, the radio does not work. So in order for me to get it to work I will have to turn the car off and back on. Other than that the car is great and I do not yet have anything bad to say about it. 4.5 out of 5 for me.

Ford escape 2014 and 2017.
This is my second escape. I have had problems with both. Mainly turbo issues. We had to replace engine in 2014 escape. It is a nice small SUV but they are know for problems with the turbo. Also had issues with linkage break. Wouldn't go into park. Plastic piece broke over 1000 dollars to fix.

Ford escape review from a millennial mama.
I love all the extra room in the back! It is amazing and the leg room in the back seat is decent. I had some trouble fitting my toddler’s car seat behind the driver’s seat, but fit enough. It rides very well and smooth. I did not get a 4wd one, but this FWD still gets going in the snow.
accountCircle Stephanie C
Truly top of the line and best in safety!
The only problem I have with my ford is it could be a little more spacious in the back. Comfort wise, it is amazing! I can adjust my driver seat perfectly to fit my needs! It has so many convenience options, such as foot activated cargo door, keyless entry, and blind spot detectors.
accountCircle Cayleigh W
2017 ford escape, is a great vehicle just not my personal favorite.
I have not yet had any issues with my ford escape. It drives smooth and nice with easy breaking. I am a SUV driver and it feels more like a car and the gas mileage is not very good. I feel too low to the ground and prefer something bigger. The backup camera come in handy with my horrible backup skills.

Backseat very comfortable. The front seats lay all the way flat. Great for nap.
My only issue is that it's a 4 cylinder which I am not use to. I love a 6 cylinder. Everything else about the vehicle is great roomy and very. Very comfortable. And smooth ride. May trade in for 6 cylinder. Very nice on road trips. Not boxy like most s.U.V.S I will go for another but 6 cylinder.

The Chevy equinox - feel safe, feel modern.
It is comfortable, and it drives as well as handles very, certainly, quite smoothly. It is a very good vehicle as I find Chevrolet make to be the best make and also my favorite make of vehicle. I feel safe in this 2017 Chevrolet equinox lt. It was a bit expensive and has a few electrical issues but not bad overall.
accountCircle Tracey F
The color is beautiful and it is very sporty,
The reason I gave it a four year, is because the power of the vehicle is not as expected, and I have had this vehicle for less than a year and it illuminated light that sell this for diameter is not working anymore. One thing I could say about this vehicle is that it is very comfortable to drive.
accountCircle Janea L
I love the size and space if my SUV!
I have no complaints about the performance of my car. It drives well, it is good on gas, I love the size. It is good for commuting back and forth to work, driving my family around and going on trips. Only downside is I can no longer play my music from my iPhone connecting the USB. I constantly get this “no music files found” message. I was able to resolve the issue, but it happens often. Now I can no longer resolve it and driving is not the same without listening to my music.
accountCircle Joe R
Tire pressure problems can be dangerous.
The only real performance problem I have had is that the tires constantly losing pressure. Other than that the vehicle performs pretty well. I consider the constant loss of tire pressure to be dangerous the tire can come off the rim when making a turn and cause an accident.
accountCircle Jessica Z
Comfortable car that drives great. Beautiful look and great gadgets.
My car is great I just wish that I went with a car that has 4 wheel drive especially when it snows. My car is very comfortable and drives great so far. I hate that my back seats will not go all the way down. I cannot lay my seats flat to put anything in the back. I wonder if it is broken or it just does not go down like other cars.
accountCircle Kendall B
The touch screen in the front of the car.
The car is a great size for easy parking, and the features inside are great. There are seat heaters, excellent speakers, a great navigation system and touch screen. There are enough plugs to charge your phones and other devices and the trunk is a great size for packing luggage, picking up groceries and other things. The only problem is that the tire pressure is constantly low, which means you have to put air in them almost every other week or so. Other than that, the car has been very reliable and the gas mileage is great as well.
accountCircle Candice M
Great car for a family big or small.
Good vehicle. Perfect space for a family big and small. I wish there was air vents in the back because it gets hot in the back as the front had all the air. No maintenance issues. Very comfortable. I like that the seats can be pulled down. Very good car.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2017 Ford Escape

likeFilled Roberta H.

Fun to drive, has good pick up, gets good gas mileage. It has new technology such as backup camera, Bluetooth for getting phone calls and texts. In 2 years of owning it I have had no problems. It is easy to park and just the right size for me.

dislikeFilled Roberta H.

I have no cons. The only thing I can think of is if I were to go to a store to pick up furniture or anything that was large I probably wouldn't have room to transport it in this car. The seats do fold down and that gives more room.

likeFilled Mike S.

The initial cost was low. It is roomy enough inside and overall is a pretty easily driven car. It looks fairly sporty as well. I think the overall appearance is acceptable. It does have easily folded down seating to give plenty of cargo space.

dislikeFilled Mike S.

This car does not make very good gas mileage like maximum 28 in the city. Mt mustang makes better mileage. It drives like a toy truck because of the front wheel drive I think. It likes to wonder if you do not pay attention.

likeFilled Debra R.

Rearview camera lets you see when backing up. Also the side view traffic sensor lets you know where traffic is if you want to change lanes. Display with Google Maps, etc helps you find your destination. Nice handling, just enough cargo room. Very nice looking vehicle.

dislikeFilled Debra R.

Well, there's not many cons. However, I wish it was cheaper in price of course. I wish it was a bit wider, and had more leg/seat room. Wish it had automatic vehicle stop when it senses something. It could always do with better gas mileage. Larger GPS screen when viewing Google Maps.

likeFilled Sheri H.

I know the vehicle... It has great pickup... The Escape is the perfect size for my family and I. There is room for 4 adults comfortably as well as the luggage that we all have. I like that I can raise my seat up higher so I feel like I am sitting in a bigger vehicle too.

dislikeFilled Sheri H.

I wish that I had an AWD and/or a 4x4. I do not like the ease of using the cruise control. I do not like that you have to push a button to raise the speed of the fan for either the heat or the A/C. I feel that it is very dangerous.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2017 Chevrolet Equinox

likeFilled Dianne G.

Easy to maneuver. Nice cargo area, dash display clear. Info menu, back up camera, comfortable seats, good mileage, roomy foot area in back seat, multi storage pockets, easy care interior, easy access into and out of the vehicle, adjustable seat for ease in getting in and out.

dislikeFilled Dianne G.

There are not many cons I can think of. There are possible costs of repairs, center console sometimes is in my way, high cost of vehicle. While the cargo area is big it could be bigger. The doors are heavy. There some blind spots to the side. T.

likeFilled Diane J.

The vehicle rides nice. It also has great features including a backup camera, good on gas, comfortable seating in the front and rear. It also has a roomy interior and hatchback trunk. The back seat lays down which gives you additional space when loading a large item.

dislikeFilled Diane J.

There are not too many cons to the vehicles. I have noticed that if you have snow on the roof of the car which can be difficult to remove that when it warms up the way the roof is tilted the snow will come down on the windshield when you slow down or stop. This could cause a safety issue.

likeFilled Linda R.

Gets Good gas mileage, has all wheel drive, love the extra features; ie, seat warmers, auto start, blind spot warning, back-up warning. Love the OnStar and Bluetooth. Roomy inside for a mid-sized vehicle.

dislikeFilled Linda R.

All-wheel drive is not as good as 4-wheel drive. I used to drive big SUV so it is lower to the ground, cannot see as well. Other than that, I have no list of cons. It is a good vehicle and I am happy with it.

likeFilled Brianne L.

Quiet ride, great in winter driving, good gas mileage both in city and highway, comfortable, lots of space for moving big things, equipped with Bluetooth and Hands-Free capability, Contains OnStar, XM radio equipped.

dislikeFilled Brianne L.

I cannot think of many cons to this vehicle. The only one I can think of is the Chevy Connect software that is used for the radio/Bluetooth/phone services is delayed. Sometimes I have issues connecting to Bluetooth and dials for the heat are slow to react.
