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.

When driving, the vehicle the power steering goes out. You have to pull over turn the car off and restart it. There are times you have to do it multiple times before the power steering kicks back in. This is very dangerous while on the highway because you can't always stop, and when this happens you can't turn your steering wheel. This issue needs to be fixed like it is on the 2008 -2011 Ford Escape. The same parts were used, so what makes them special enough for a recall, and not the people that have a 2012. Is there life more important than ours?
