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.
I bought this vehicle in a noisy city with horrible streets. After I got out to the smooth country roads in a quiet area I noticed that the front right side had a shimmy/bumpy feeling to it. I put new tires on, the tread on the current tires were at 50% but I thought maybe it wore funny...nope. New tires and it still shimmied. Took it back to the dealership and after 4 trips, several hours off work each time in order to drive into Madison, they found that the alignment had to be absolutely perfect and could not be off by even .25, or it shimmied. I have had to pay for an alignment twice since having the vehicle.
