2017 Ford Escape Reviews

The color does not ruin a time goes. It has a lot of nice features and the radio works really well. It is easy to fix and is not really expensive when you fix it yourself but since we can fix it ourselves we do not know how much it is at a mechanic! It is very comfortable but the inside does get very hot and things can burn you. Sometimes the seatbelts get stuck but that is okay it fixes after a minute or two. It is a smooth ride does not shake at certain speeds or anything. It handles speed bumps and potholes really easily and it does not have many problems on the road. It does not over heat and we haven’t had to fix much. The payments are not bad and neither is the insurance we use. It is comfortable and the air and heat works really well.

The ford escape is a wonderful car. It is safe and reliable. The car drives smoothly and handles well with turns and starting /stopping. The electronic maintenance notifications are helpful and allow the car to be kept at peak condition. The center console has many nice features like storage compartments, cupholders and touchscreen for media and controls. Sometimes the USB ports do not work and do not charge or connect devices plugged into them. The only other issue with the car is that there is occasionally a rattling noise in the passenger door. Overall, the car has great winter features, storage space, safety features and I would recommend it.

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.

My 2017 2L Eco-boost Titanium Escape (pearl white, light interior), AWD, 57K miles is a very nice vehicle. It is competent with its AWD and 2L turbo engine. If you review YouTube for performance relative to other vehicles in its class - it is not the slowest vehicle by any means. It does have Turbo lag on the freeway. However, in Sport "S" mode that is less obvious. It has an average quiet interior ride noise and I believe the seats are not as comfortable as others in its class. I have the leather seats and compared to the cloth seats they are much better, but still could be better to make a long drive more tolerable. Its body platform sits up on the road which I like. I added sound deadener to the rear area and under the rear carpet. What a difference! My car never sees a garage however, I am a hobbyist detailer and it looks showroom condition. I have not experienced any of the paint issues suggested by others. To be 100% transparent; my wife has the 2018 Titanium Escape and no issue there either. I did change the low beam head lamp to LED type and I like the color of the light that produces. (Research your LED's very well). Finally, I have had the trunk auto-close / open replaced at a cost of ~$300 US Dollars. I also had to replace the Serpentine belt; tensioner and pulley just recently and was a bit surprised not at the belt but the pulley and tensioner being shot. Finally, I did change spark plugs to NGK 9568 (I believe)dire OE replacement part - and that provided a noticeable improvement in acceleration and fuel milage. At least in my case the factory Motorcraft plugs were causing it to run rich.

The ford escape titanium is a compact SUV that offers a lot of features. It drives very well much like a car and has great acceleration and a smooth ride. While the escape looks attractive on the outside, the inside is slightly lacking in space. This is especially true for the rear passengers as the leg room is very limited. The cargo area in the back is decent, however, I do like the large space that it offers when the back seats are folded all the way down to extend the cargo area in the trunk. The rear seats do fold down easily and lay flat once folded. In addition to the great performance of this vehicle, it also gets decent gas mileage (better than most SUVs on the market in the same range). I also find the colorful under lighting on the interior of the cabin to be a nice touch. Some things that I would have liked to see in this model, would be more storage room. It lacks cup holders making it difficult safely store more than 4 beverages of average size. I also find the front console to be a little smaller than I am used to having. While the Bluetooth pairing with smartphones and tablets is relatively easy, the rear camera is not as clear as I would like (compared to the Chevy models which provide a very sharp image when backing up).

This is my 14th brand new Ford since 1986. I purchased a 2017 SE Ford Escape new, check in light came on with only 20,000 miles, took to dealer Twice and they replaced a sensor. Check engine light coming on and off after about another year , then didn’t come on for several months. At 51,000 miles engine system fault light on, service immediately. Took to dealer ship and said antifreeze leaking into the motor. Needs motor replaced.Having to wait for parts to arrive and was told it will take 3 weeks to repair. Totally disappointed in this Ford product. Should be a product recall. Was told this was the 3rd one that had come in with engine problems recently. Buyers be ware.

My ford escape has the basic features; backup camera, Bluetooth, electric windows and seats. It is the first vehicle I have owned with a backup camera and I will not go back to not having one. The seats fold down, which gives a lot of space if you need to move. If all the seats are up, the “trunk” area is very spacious, my dogs have plenty of room. I have had people say it does not ride very smooth but I do not mind it. I have had it for a little over 3 years and I have not had any problems.

I love the escape for the most part. It drives well, seems safe, and meets all my basic needs in a vehicle. It has an automatic stop feature that drives me crazy though! If you are at a complete stop, like at a traffic light, the engine turns off. Conserving gas or pollution or something like that. However, if you let off the gas at all, even a little bit, it starts back up... Then off again when you brake again. You have to manually turn the feature off everytime you start the vehicle. It is very annoying!

The only thing I can think of right now is on the Ford the windows are not seal good and you can hear the wind and noise from the outside, rode. Oh just thought of another problem no matter how you adjust your seat you cannot see the font of the hood like I can with my Honda and that makes it very hard for me to judge when I pull into a parking lot or judge my distance and that can be very frustrating. Otherwise I love my Ford and it would make me very happy if they would correct these two things that I mention that would be great.

The ford escape is very good for a single person or a small family. Does great on long rides and holds quite of bit of luggage if going on a trip. Very liable. Is great on gas mileage overall. Usually takes about $20-$25 to fill up for a full tank of gas and gives about 400 miles per tank. Ford play works great with apple phone products but not sure if also works with android. Great back up camera option with sound alerts to let you know if too close to an object while backing up.

I really like it. I am a shorter person so I just love that the driver's seat has electric controls that adjust to very specific settings. The back-up camera is great as well. It drives smooth and is a quiet ride. The only down side so far (had it for about 13 months) is the heat/ac controls, there is no easy high or low. The range in temperatures is great but you have to adjust all the time since the auto setting does not always do the job if your car has been in the sun/shade.

I special ordered my Ford Escape because I wanted dark gray with no chrome. I also wanted a sunroof. The problem was all the ready to go Escapes with a sunroof and leather seats. I hate leather seats. I don't know why you insist on pushing leather seats on someone if they want the upgrade features. By switching to the sports package and getting the cloth seats it meant I lost the heated steering wheel and the kick open tailgate. I would have paid more for those features but they only came with leather seats which I refuse to have in my car. The car handles great and fits me really good. It is by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. It drives great in the snow. Living in upstate NY our winters are brutal but I have never had a problem with the Escape starting- love the remote start- and driving on snow covered roads is no issue. I plan to buy it once the lease is done.
