I have only owned this car for less than a week and there is not one single thing I can find that I dislike about it

The worst vehicle I have ever had

2011 Ford Escape

Good in winter. Visibility of dashboard and to rear is poor. I cut a piece of cardboard to fit the dashboard to prevent reflected sunlight from behind the car from shining in my eyes! Unbelievably bad design! Raising and lowering back seats not as easy as it was in my old Volvo. Setting the clock is complicated. Holds the road nicely. What is Build Quality? Features? Ceertified pre-owned? What is that? Can I leave any of these blank?

2011 Ford Escape (is that what's wanted?)

This car has done a good job in the winter, and is nice-looking. Like all SUVs, the back gets dirty with any kind of moisture. Setting the clock is not simple, and the description in the owner's manual is not correct. The clear plastic dashboard cover reflects the sunlight into the driver's eyes! I have inserted a thin piece of cardboard to correct this. It covers the mileage indicator. The viewing panel to the right of the dashboard is hard to read, especially when the sun is shining. The RPM and MPH indicators take up too much valuable space; digital readouts would be much better. The 60 on the MPH looks like 50. the switch for the headlights is complicated, and can inadvertently be turned on by the knee of the exiting driver. Once I exited the car hurriedly, turning on the parking lights, and not hearing the dings, had a dead battery the next morning. the velchro-like material on the backs of the rear seats are practically impossible to clean after unloading brush from the woods. As with any SUV, the rear seat belts are confusing. The MPG is as expected, but more would be better. Roof rack is helpful, but roofI window got clogged when I carried hay on the rood, and even after cleaning by the dealer, I get wet in the car wash. I wish it weren't there. "Don't know" should be an option for the chart below. Also below - USED vs PRE-OWNED?

This is my third ford escape--- will NOT buy another

Engine wise is great but it's a 2011 and have replaced wheel bearings and rotors several times. The body is rusting out-- NOT HAPPY Have a bad seal in rear which mechanic could not replace as the bolt was so rusted he would of had to cut it out which meant replacing axle and costing me approx. $1200 extra . Right now my seal isn't leaking so I drive with caution and my guardian angle by my side!

In The Middle

I have to give a middle of the road review for my Escape. I bought my vehicle used and have had it going on 4 years now, and no major problems,but I do have to give a average rating regarding the major rust issue Ford knows about with these vehicles around the wheel wells. Ford does admit it was a design flaw from the research I have done and I have seen many other Escapes with the same issues. What bothers me is why Ford does not recall or fix this problem so their vehicle lasts longer. Hopefully I will get a response back to my review. So bottom line is buyer beware do your research before buying any car to make sure you are not taken off guard and end up shelling out lots of money for body repairs.

Great Vehicle

I have nothing but good things to say about my Escape. It has caused others with different favoured brands of vehicles seriously put some consideration towards Ford.

2011 Escape

Pre owned certified rust after 4 years through paint. Rear window latches corroded completely through and though the replacement was easy enough to do myself, are expensive for such small parts. After reading reviews before purchasing found same issues with shifting in transmission that others have.

The car is good, but seem to have more issue than I want, and can afford

The car has been good, but when it comes to doing repairs it is a lot of money that I just do not always have. The repairs other than maintenance gets to be a lot.

Good reliable vehicle

It seems a good reliable vehicle that we've had for several years. The only real problems are poor seals and rust. The seals for the doors etc tend to leak as does the sun roof drain. Aside from these, it is a good car for the price.

Only Failed Me Once

The 2011 Ford Escape has been a great car. It was within my price range and the dealer worked with me on cost. I have always had Jeeps but I could buy two Escape's for the price of a Jeep. As a hunter, I need a car that is rugged and will get me up hills and into the woods. Just once, after raining all night, I could not get my 4 wheel up the step hill. When it dried out some I was able to get it up the first step part of the hill and then left it at that level since more rain was predicted. I have had no problems with my Escape, good gas millage, and smooth running.
