2020 Ford Escape

noise

Unless under full throttle, its not overly noisy in any situation.

I have never been in a car that made a noise like this.

As I drove away from the dealership I noticed a very distinct, very low vibration sound.

I like the car EXCEPT for the vibration that I feel when I drive normally and am not accelerating between 1000 to 2000RPM (speed start to over 60MPH.

Unfortunately,  4 days into driving it began having a very noticeable creaking sound upon the vehicle coming to a stop and leaving a stopped position and you can also hear it when driving sometimes and turning.

The only thing that sucks is the wind noise or as Ford calls it, the sound of turbulence I hear while driving over 50MPH on the driver's side.

I have noticed a rattling noise when I shut the passenger and back right door.

Several issues like on going drivers seat noise, back hatch door has almost closed on us, computer has rebooted on I4 at 75MPH, sun roof needed adjustments, seat belt harness is coming apart, cruise control does not engage. .

My only dislike is some of the interior materials could be better and my subwoofer still rattles despite being fixed.

Prior to purchasing this vehicle, please take note that when driving it you will experience  horrible vibrations at 1500 RPM.

speed

When I press gas pedal slightly to speed up when going into a higher speed limit area, I keep pressing more and more (slowly) and it finally responds, usually with a hard downshift.

On the way home from picking it up I noticed that the car struggled horribly to accelerate, seemingly switching gears back and forth, up and down, and making some kind of low, humming sound as a constant rate of speed was met.

We guess it’s due to the less effort the engine needs to work to get to speed where the Rav4 worked hard to get up to highway speeds.

Despite having slightly less horsepower, our hybrid can pass cars with ease at all speeds, and it's quiet - something that really bothered us about the RAV - it was a bit throaty when accelerating and made a funny noise every time we braked.

transmission

I got it back & the transmission went out once again.

Transmission disconnects from engine from time to time while driving.

It is loud, uncomfortable, shifts roughly, and so many other issues.

Needs new Everything transmission, breaks, computer system, powertrain, collision assistance doesn’t work, nothing works.

The engine is surprisingly powerful and responsiveness probably thanks in large part to the transmission.

The engine makes strong torque throughout the range and the shifts are where they need to be and not rushing to a higher gear like some transmissions.

The transmission is horrible - rocks back and forth when shifting from 1st to 2nd and also into 3rd gears.

Closest dealer wanted $6700.00 to fix transmission. So.

battery

The battery has died completely 3 times in 18 months.

Never had any trouble except replacing the battery (normal maintenance).

Wish it came with a spare as there is room to fit over the battery.

warranty

I traded my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee in after taking the Jeep in for 6 service issues in 5 months as I was approaching the end of the warranty.

Roof liner is pulling away around edges, window switches pull apart so watch your fingers you can be cut, are being replaced by warranty, of course on backorder.

acceleration

The ride is comfortable, the seats are comfortable, the cornering is pretty good, and the acceleration is satisfying.

Love the acceleration and responsiveness.

Great acceleration, love the technology, and plenty of flexible cargo space.

I can get faster acceleration when I need it and she gets great gas mileage with the Ecoboost.

The acceleration is better and smoother shifting.

I've enjoyed the handling, performance and acceleration.

My criteria was Adaptive Cruse Control, quit ride, good acceleration, braking, styling, power lift gate, heated seats, good handling and front power seat with presets.

fold

I am also super impressed with the cargo space and love that the second row of seats can slide forward or backward or fold completely flat depending on whether you need more people space or more cargo space.

You have to walk around the car to fold down the read seats (and their headrests) and release each half.

The 2017 had back seats that folded completely flat, the 2020 has a small incline that I can live with.

Folding and moving seats in the back make it more roomier.

comfortable

Seats are comfortable enough, a rarity it seems in many cars of late.

But Escape’s huge comfy back seat is appreciated by guests.

but it shines at over 50 mph - very quiet and comfortable.

Pros: good fuel economy for the size of vehicle, decent cargo capacity, comfortable seats, panoramic moonroof is pretty cool.

The seats are more comfortable than the more expensive Edge.

Vehicle rides well and the interior is comfortable,,,, 

Seats are comfortable and heat up quickly.

Comfort, convenience, and the best gas mileage.

feature

Lots of cool tech features; auto hold (holds the brakes for you, like at a long traffic light) is nice.

but grows on you over time due to excellent steering, precise tracking, taut suspension and confident AWD feel, great features and space inside.

The co-pilot feature has saved me from rear-ending another car TWICE!!

Has features I didn't even think that come in handy.

All kind of features that make life so much easier.

Love the new rear hatch feature with the push

is Owner's Manual's ridiculous!, due to trying to cvr too many myriad audio-vis., "Sync," displays, & "tech" Options available across entire Model line in single Manual!

The other safety features are not intrusive in any way.

The features of this car are incredible; since it is a 2020 model, it has all the bells and whistles.

fuel

3-hour sit at idle outside a doctor's office (would not admit me while waiting for my spouse), gas needle did not move! Impressive.

The auto stop/start function to save on fuel economy is jarring and doesnt work half the time.

Doesn't burn through fuel like other vehicles.Very dependable car.

meet all my need and more love to drive it i like the ride don't use a lot of gas fun to drive i just love everything about it

Even on the open road, I do not get good gas mileage

30 plus miles per gallon and big enough for Grand kids and dog.

i am so impressed with my 2020 ford escape hybird   i am getting 49 miles to the gallon in city driving and this car rides and runs so smooth.

My car buying priorities are price, comfort, fuel consumption and reliability.

2020 Honda Pilot

Worse Car I Had Since Dealing With Honda
 Head Light Changed, Software Update, Interference In Speaker After Software Update, Automatic Window Roll Up Switch Fix Latest KNOCKING NOISE IN ENGINE Bought It For Work Need It Fixed

Like when it downshifts it makes a weird noise that the dealer says they can't figure out what it is.

I've heard of popping and cracking coming from the speakers

I also experienced the popping and cracking noise coming from what sounds like the speakers.

I had thought the issue had been fixed with the crackling noise.

But we are very frustrated about the terrible pooping noise with the 2020 infotainment center.

Last time they replaced 8 "boss connectors" to correct crackling noise in speakers.

About a week ago noticed random snapping noise from windshield, while driving and even while stopped at a light.

After a month or so, the crackling noise started.

My 2020 Pilot Elite is only about 500 miles now and apparently many others are experiencing the same issue: Crackling/Popping noise coming from the dash.

audio-system

At approximately 300 miles I started hearing a popping&#47;crackling sound from the windshield&#47;dash area.

I am starting to like the blind spot warning system.

We just tried the bluray player and realized the crackling is coming from all of the speakers, and the sound lasts less than 5 minutes at a time before it cuts out.

Then around this time, the infotainment system, dash board, back-up camera, radio, DVD player and monitor would black out and would not function properly.

Oh yes, I don’t want to forget to mention that the infotainment system, dash board, speedometer, back up camera, DVD player and monitor would go black and would not work properly.

windshield

The window washer at 50 mph will not hit the windshield (and there is no adjustment as they are fixed to the hood).

However, on the way back, it sounded like hail was hitting our windshield for most of the drive (later found out it was the speakers) and the DVD player kept shorting out&#47;didn’t have sound.

but my radio is off and it's coming from the windshield.

There is a lot of popping noises that come from the speakers sounds like gravel hitting the windshield constantly and when putting it into gear there is a lot of static noises coming from speakers as well.

However, it has had the wiring harness tightened fit the cracking and popping noises appearing to come from the windshield.

I have been experiencing intermittent cracking sounds from the area of the windshield now for months.

1 month and 600 miles later..craxkling noise coming from speakers..sounds like pebbles hitting winshield..took it back to dealership service dept.They said sorry it can't be fixed at this time it's a defect common in these cars.But well notify corporate.

Ten days later there was a crackling sound in the windshield.

radio

Even when I turn off the radio, the speakers would continue to crack and pop.

After a month of buying my brand new 2020 Honda pilot,  problems with dashboard and issues with radio&#47;apple car play console started.

I am leasing a 2020 touring and the unrepairable radio harness pin problem, or so I am told, makes it a lemon to drive.

The issues are with the radio and apple car play.

This means not only does the radio not work

The radio cracks and pops with poor reception.

It’s like they have a short in them.. they crackle and make a static noise.. the whole radio and dash board have shorted out a couple of times.

camera

Backup Camera doesn't always turn on when in reverse.

but the speedometer and backup camera also do not work when this happens.

I am so frustrated that I have a car that I paid over $40,000 for, and I basically have no fully operational radio, backup camera, GPS, and very dangerous infotainment and instrument screen blackouts, while driving on the highway.

Less than 1000 miles on the Pilot and started hearing front dash speaker popping and cracking noises, then the center audio&#47;back up camera and speedometer display started crashing.

The dash and speedometer screen going blank with no access to Nav, speedometer, audio , backup camera, video etc.

I miss being able to start the engine from a phone app & the front camera -  both were available on my previous vehicle.

Two weeks off the lot, the computer system on our 2020 Honda Pilot started crackling and then all screens went black with no access to backup camera, no radio, nav, bluetooth, speedometer, etc.

The good:  The new 9 speed transmission really makes a difference in accelerating and performance.

First thought is it had much slower acceleration than our 2011 Touring.

Very quiet, rides smoothly, accelerates comfortably, has prudent safety features, and is stylish in appearance.

I like the third row and how it can fold down into the vehicle to create a level space for a larger trunk.

The second and third row seating fold flat to carry lots of cargo.

Appreciate that we can fold down the 3rd row of seats to provide additional storage.

Very comfortable seats, reliable, lots of bells &#38; whistles.

We love the ability to haul all the kids (3) and dogs (2) anywhere, while still being comfortable and responsive when asked.

It drives beautifully, it’s comfortable, holds the road, you feel safe because it’s so well made.

Drivers seat can be adjusted  for comfort.

Added comforts such as the Apple car play and the rear entertainment system on top of the typical no frills reliability of the pilot make this a great family vehicle.

The front and 2nd row captain's chairs, are extremely comfortable, and the 2nd row center tray, is very useful.

The interior is beautiful with a comfortable seating area is large plenty room for the family big trunk and beautiful inside and outside.

but it is incredible on comfort, reliability and handling out on the road.

room

Luggage shifts in between space of the second row seats when braking.

She does have a lot of storage space, even with the 3rd row seats up.

It does drive well and has a lot of room.

When the middle seats go down there is so much room to haul things or to sleep in if required.

easy to use phone integration with apple car play and android auto, lots of space,  comfortable ride,  better styling then toyota or others in its class

The touring model has all of the features we wanted such as the split second row of seats so that our third and oldest child could make it to the back seat.

Leather, moonroof, safety features and great value!

We immediately realized, that this car had all of the features, Honda had to offer, for a Pilot, and that she was the safest, most comfortable, roomiest, most reliable, and practical car, we had ever owned.

This car is extremely comfortable, has all the features I could possibly want, is extremely safe, powerful, has plenty of room, for anything, and everything, and rides, and drives like a dream.

I love the room in it and all the features, except one.

The comfort and amenities it provides are excellent.

I love the car performance, space and look and several features.

2020 Kia Soul

I cannot put sunglasses in the overhead sunglass holder (in the '15 OR the '20) because when I am on the phone (hands-free) it causes extremely loud noises (like a New Year's Eve noisemaker) on the other persons' side.

The only thing that I can be critical of is that it seems to have a lot of road noise,

This has the good old set your temperature out of the vents and that’s what the cabin temperature will be.

Wasn't sure I would be a fan of the cvt transmission,but very smooth.Seats are comfortable than some bigger subs I set in.

Don't often have rear passengers so I wish I could shut those vents and have more up where I need it.

.. first i'm not a fan of the elongated hood, the car is 3 inches lower than the 2015, the lane detection software only works 50% of the time,

great on gas smooth ride,  good acceleration on highway.

I can't believe the acceleration this car has.

The acceleration was better than expected with the standard 2.0L engine mounted to a 6-speed automatic transmission on the LX model.

Good gas mileage, responsive acceleration, and all the tech features a 62 year old man could ever need or use.

Handling and acceleration are responsive, the ride is surprisingly smooth, and technology is state-of-the-art.

The back seats fold down and create a huge cargo area.

Back seats fold down, has lots of foot room

but the quality is superior, handling is great, and comfort is exemplary.

This car is exactly what I need I have back problems and it has very easy access in and out and plenty of comfort and legroom I really enjoy the car

The  back seats were just as comfy as the front ones.

The seating is very comfortable and it has better storage than other similar vehicles.

The interior is comfortable and very entertaining to my grandchildren who sit in the spacious back seats.

SO FAR THIS KIA SOUL MEETS OUR NEEDS, COMFORTABLE, GOOD SIZE AND LOVE DRIVING IT.

but has  a balance of comfort and style, I love auto emergency brakes, i love my kia get on parking in smaller space or any space.

Toyota would be a better option, likely with more room.

It is a great car the trunk amazing and the space in the back is perfect for children .The drive is very smooth .

Car has a lot of leg and body room for my size.

Safety features, right size of the vehicle, cargo space, and right price.

Low cost, low mileage, suitable space for our family.

This car fit all our needs while still having all the technology that we love in luxury cars, space like we want without buying a van, great mileage l, and with turbo / sport mode thrown on its still a blast to drive.

mileage

On long highway drives in normal driving mode the car has delivered as high as 47 mpg!

Looks good, Good price, Good MPG, This is my third Soul and I liked them all.

I like the average of over 32 mpg on my regular driving in small city commutes.

Note that the gas mileage (up to 33 MPG highway) is pretty impressive for a vehicle weighing 4,000 lbs.

It gets great gas mileage both city and highway.

2019 Honda Ridgeline

Great acceleration, smooth ride, comfortable seating.

It’s like the Economy Mode does not use first gear making acceleration slower than other vehicles.

The back seats fold up to make for a great carrying area. 4.

Rear fold up seats are welcome and convenient.

The back row with the seats folded up perfectly fits two sets of golf clubs.

I love the way the rear seats fold up and I enjoy having the storage compartment in the rear truck bed.

I added a three fold bed cover which looks great and protects mys stuff.

The back seat area is roomy and the seats comfortable, and they also fold up easily for more space options.

Back seat is nice and easily folds up to provide inside cargo room.

The back seat folds up to allow for extra storage.

It has a lot of amenities (USB and 12 volt power ports, fold up back seats,arm rests, in bed trunk, plenty of power for a midsize 6-cylinder, and plenty of storage throughout the vehicle).

ride

Fantastic riding truck with uni-body design.

It rides and responds better than any pickup ever built; so quiet, so comfortable.

Very comfortable ride in town or on the highway and is easy to park.

Smooth ride, good performance, excellent versatility.

The gas mileage is exceptional the ride is so smooth my friend rode with me and she said it actually rides like a car.

but it has a lot of power and rides wonderfly.

but with the mileage this new one gets, the smooth&#47;comfortable ride and the smoking good deal I got on it, I feel like I made a great purchase!

Yet rides like suv unlike domestic trucks.

I love the comfort and how easily it can be maneuvered in traffic and in parking lot!

I have owned 5 trucks over the years and this truck was the most comfortable.

It was so easy to drive and it drove like an comfortable SUV

black beauty is the best i have ever owned comfy perfect for going to store for potting soil mulch ect not meant to be a work horse
