Oil Change

Absolutely love my 2014 Ford Escape. It is amazing the gas mileage I get and when I need any type of service everyone does their best to help me out and work around my work schedule. I am very appreciative for all Northstar Ford has done for me.

Laundry List of Problems

Definitely would not recommend. Bought this car in 2016 when it was 2 years old and had about 40k miles. It's now 2020 and we put about another 40k miles on it. We've had a laundry list of problems come up: cv axel repair, two solenoid replacements, turbo leaking oil and causing engine to "knock", windshield cleaner malfunction, lots of rattling noises in car interior, speakers make white noise when "off". Interior is also a bit small for an SUV.

1 star for comfortable drivers seat

My experience with this car was horrible from the beginning. Had it in my possession 12 months. The service shop had it the other 3 months. Everything went out on it. Comfortable drivers seat, which is great, but that’s all I can say that is good about it.

I'll never buy another Ford

The transmission failed after only 130,000 MI. The repair cost $6,000 and there was no option to use a remanufactured or rebuilt transmission. Also the fuel economy around town is not very good at all

Bottom of the Line

The Ford Escape is noisy, has a lot of mechanical issues and recalls; mostly it's lower down the line of models so it is just cheap. Uncomfortable seating, scanty leg room, noisy inside. But it is an efficient little machine that runs well when not in the shop.

Poor design

The battery is buried in the engine compartment so you have to take the windshield wipers off to change it. You need a flexible funnel to fill the coolant reservoir when they could have easily made it more accessible. The rear driverside door interior brackets broke so the bottom of the door sticks. The $800 nav system add on is virtually useless b/c of how it prompts you to enter information.

2014 Ford Escape

This is the 2nd major repair in 14 months and 8000 miles with only 71000 on it. It. To change a blinker bulb had to disassemble the front end and replace the 5 lug nuts as they had swollen and lug wrench would not fit. Oh yeah, will have to replace the other 15 for same problem. Great job Ford. Thanks. Also, have to disassemble to replace the battery. It goes on and on.

My specific vehicle - otherwise I love the Ford Escape!

3 major problems so far, with less than 100k on the odometer; Rear Differential Head Gasket Transmission Other than all of this I truly love this SUV. It suits me perfectly, it is super fun to drive and there is ample space throughout.

Escape Review

I like the gas mileage for an SUV and enough space for what I need. Car doesn't drive well in the snow and I've had issue with the blue tooth and other options.

Stay away from ecoboost engines if you’re interested in longevity

I was impressed by the power this vehicle had for only 4 cylinders. But it gets lame fuel mileage and the fuel tank is tiny! It’s starting to shift hard and we’ve already had to dump over 4 grand in various repairs. It doesn’t even have 100k on it yet. I’m getting rid of it soon. I won’t buy another ecoboost Ford.

Just got it

Just got the vehicle and am hoping it’s not gonna be a nickel/dime vehicle. Lots of little issues like smog problems, and unusual tire wear problems. Ride is not very quiet and Smooth. It’s not a Cadillac or BMW but am hoping for a few years of a good dependable vehicle.

2014 escape

The best thing I like about my escape is the mirrors. You can see who is in your blind spot before changing lanes. I am not impressed with the gas mileage.I bought it to have more packing room for camping. Not to bad I suppose for that purpose.

So much to like, and...

There is so much to like. The Escape is nimble and actually fun to drive. It is very responsive and does well in snow (with automatic 4 wheel drive. Wish it got better gas mileage; don't expect more than mid-high 20s even on highway trips. I would really love my Escape if it wasn't for the noise. Wind and road noise are more of an issue than they should be; and there are way too many buzzes and rattles from the interior plastics. Too bad....otherwise, a very nice vehicle.

2014 Ford Escape review

Road noise is too loud, gas mileage is for the birds under 18 mpg in city driving and around 22 mpg on freeway driving. Seats are not comfortable. I was told by the dealer that the engine was built in Spain, do not know if that is the reason for the poor gas mileage.

Coolant leak

Once again the use of plastic in a car cost an owner a lot of money to replace 4 plastic coolant hoses that decided to leak. If they are going to use plastic they need to be required to foot the bills each and every time it fails.

Really nice suv

We had a 2003 and now enjoy a 2014. The features are nice, has great pick up and power when needed. Back up sensors and camera have come in handy, as well as the foot sensor for the lift gate. Roomy in back. Enjoying the heated seats, handles well

Escape 2014

Like my Escape. Good gas mileage, peppy, fun to drive. Only issues I've had have been a loose back hatch handle and a piece of door trim didn't fit tight. Had a gap. It's been fixed.
