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.
Ford installed a electronic rust module and forgot to tie in the ground wire. Killed my battery and the clock on the dash will only say 1:38 pm. The car left my wife stranded, no way to work. The dealer would not get us a rental. After my wife argued on the phone forever they sent a tech out.
The tech did say he was sorry for the poor work that was done on the car. I'll never buy another car from Macphee Ford in Nova Scotia again.
