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.
Very difficult to fuel up when the nozzle clicks off after 0.7 gal and then you wait and then only add another 0.7 gal. If you rush it then it clicks off sooner. I took the car to a dealer for the problem but he said there was no problem but I had no problem until this month Oct. 2014, it started not filling again. This car has a capless filler spout. Took it do another dealer and he said he had no clue and there were no mechanics on duty. Very similar to the 05-06 Escapes.
