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.
This very expensive Escape has been a pain in the ass. First, 2500 miles transmission quit, then the roof racks leaked, they broke the windshield at that time so we had to wait for them to fix that. Then it was recalled for faulty door latches. Now they tell me the brake rotors are rotted through! This car has 20,700 miles on it, this tells me Ford is using crap rotors. Now it’s under recall for unsafe seat bolts. I can’t wait to get rid of this piece of crap. Maybe someone who designed this piece of crap,would like to buy it from me.
Went to dealer to get oil change & was told front end was out of line. Went to man who does work on our other cars to get front end lined & they said the rotors were bad.
