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.
We were out of town and the car would not start. We had to rent a car to get home. We had a hard time getting Ford to reimburse us for the car rental. They did have it fixed within 3 days. But horrible experience for a car with 10700 miles.
Very serious problem. Could have caused accident depending on circumstances or left my wife stranded in the dark in unsafe spot. Ford roadside didn't answer except to say call 911!!
Waiting for them to find the part that is backordered. Don't know how long before repaired.
