CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Ford Escape looks pretty good compared to other Ford Escape model years, but still has a trend of transmission problems, so it's not a model year we can recommend.
My 2007 Escape XLT...stalled while making a u-turn at night with my 2 little girls in the back seat,we almost got hit by another car...it has stalled like this 3 times in a week so far not to mention about 2 weeks ago i pressed the accelerator and nothing happened so i let my foot off the gas ..that's when my Escape jumped forward...WTH!!! I bought this Escape 3 months ago from Sun Rise Ford in Fontana,Ca...NEVER AGAIN will i deal with that worthless lying bunch from Sun Rise Ford...they said sorry but your warranty was only good for 30 day...so i am sh*t out of luck!!! I just paid $10,000 for this Escape 3 months ago and now they won't fix the Transmission...THANKS FOR NOTHING SUN RISE FORD and PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER..i am a single Mom and can't afford this crap.
70 mph on a California freeway and the stop ASAP light came on. Fortunately I was in the right lane and was able to pull over. Let it cool for a few minutes and it started right back up. I too believe this is a safety problem that should be fixed by recall.
While driving up hills or pulling tent trailer the escape works very hard and you can hear a type of loud pinging sound like the engine timing is out. I have taken the escape back to Ford service and they say they can't find anything wrong. The escape has been to Ford service four times regarding the same thing, yet anybody that has driving the escape have told me they hear the same thing.
