CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Ford Escape has an acceptable complaint history so far, with leaking rear window problems showing up as the main concern so far. NHTSA complaint data shows an early pattern of problems with stalling while driving.

Another concern is the 2012 Escape rolled onto its roof during an NHTSA side impact test so it only received a marginal side impact rating ... not good.

As I was pulling into my driveway my car had a sudden unintended acceleration. The engine was racing so I put my foot on the break which had no effect so I put the car into park. The engine continued to run at full speed so I turned the car off. I then called a tow truck to take the car to be repaired. This is the second time this happened and Ford will not do anything about this ongoing issue. In July 2018 I had the throttle body replaced with a Ford factory part. Here it is two years and 11 thousand miles later and it just happened again. Ford, shame on you.
