CarComplaints.com Notes: The top problem trend for the 2014 Escape is transmission failure at around 70k miles.

This is relatively low mileage for an expensive transmission failure ($4,500 average to fix), but unless the trend becomes more established, we are only awarding the 2014 Escape our "Beware of the Clunker" badge for now.

The contact owns a Cybex Safety Seat, Model Number: 518002151, Model Type: Sirona M, Manufactured on July 2018. The convertible safety seat was being utilized in a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact noticed that his daughter had foam in her hands but he could not determine the origin of the foam. The contact later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22C001000 (Child Seat). Upon inspecting the safety seat headrest, the contact noticed that the bottom left side of the headrest was missing approximately 1.5 inches of foam. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to no longer utilize the safety seat as it was not safe. Additionally, the manufacturer informed the contact that they could not assist with the safety seat replacement due to the manufacture date. The safety seat was not replaced.
