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 car rattles at slow speeds and when applying the brakes. When I close the rear doors on the car a noise/rattle can be heard. In reverse the car makes a humming noise, then goes away in drive. These noises were not present when I first got the car in September 2013.
