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.

problem #2

Escape XLT 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 500 miles

Bought brand new and expected it to act like brand new. Took back to dealership twice now and all they tell me is it has been reprogrammed and it should be fine. Just picked it up from the dealership awhile ago and it has already done it again on the way home. Sometimes it even just drops off acceleration when going down the highway and you let off the gas. It is so frustrating. Any ideas?
