She's still running

I like the mileage she gets, I also like the running boards that I don't see on the new ones. She has a six disk cd player but should have more trunk space. The trunk is small. I can go from New York to PA on a half tank of gas I would not get a Ford today for two reasons My experience with this one and they are made overseas May as well get a Honda lol

Would not buy another

Nothing in beginning, not holding up with under 36,000 miles, paint, window leak, engine gearing up while accelerating.I would not buy another, as the paint job is inferior, the windows leak inside casusing stench of mold? Just not a healthy choice and I am a retired nurse, widow of age 74.

enjoyment and reliable

I can't say I really dislike anything but it was not my first choice. I do like the car overall.

love it

The stock ride height is a little high but after lowering it slightly it improved the ride tremendously

good comfortable car that uses too much gas.

Dislike the poor rear view when backing up, dangerous if you don't watch carefully.

Recall Notices

2020 Ford Escape (8/28/2019)

Campaign Number: 19V633000
Component Name: SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company
Description: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2018-2020 F-150 and 2019-2020 F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 Super Duty pickup trucks, and 2018-2019 Ford Explorer, 2019-2020 Expedition, and 2020 Escape vehicles equipped with driver and/or passenger's manual front seat back recliner mechanisms. Also included are certain 2020 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with rear outboard seats and manual seat back recliner mechanisms. The recliner mechanisms may be missing the third pawl required for seat back strength, resulting in a loose seat back. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 202, "Head Restraints" and 207, "Seating Systems."
Defect: A seat back with an improperly assembled recliner mechanism may have reduced strength and may not adequately restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Corrective Action: Ford will notify owners, and Ford and Lincoln dealers will inspect the seat structure and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 21, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19C07.
