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.

Also the base model Escape did not come with side airbags so it received a "Poor" rating from the IIHS for side impact protection. Other similar 2007 models like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V & Hyundai Santa Fe scored far better.

My daughter weighs 90 lbs. When she sits in the front seat of our 2007 Ford Escape, the airbag turns on and off intermittently, depending on minor adjustments of her posture. The dealer has seen it and says that there is nothing they can do about it, as it is a federally regulated setting. So I guess we'll just never know if my daughter will have a functional air bag in the event of a crash.

Sinc E purchasing the vehicle air bag light went on and off, and there was a smell of gas throughout the vehicle. Taken to Ford dealership in March, 2007, but dealership did not find the cause of the problem.
