2017 Ford Escape

noise

i am now experiencing a knocking&#47;bumping noise when I turn the wheel left and&#47;or right.

The noise is above average that it becomes uncomfortable during long drives.

The interior is really noisy on the highway even with brand new top rated tires.

If you have a wind rattle look under the vehicle at front doors and check the large plastic panels under it for being tight still.

but then in July 2018 he was in the car and heard the motor making odd noises so he pulled over and called up our local ford dealer they didn't recommenced him drive it home but he did cuz my sister and I were home alone.

however it makes a noise in the back that can't be found.

Mine is super quiet inside and only hear the engine under hard acceleration, no wind noise at all on fwy.

I had it for 1 months and then it started making a terrible noise.

lights

The LED part of the light burned out and those can't be replaced.

The check engine light came on at 60,250 miles after owning it for 5 months.

At 39K 8 mos ago, car started intermittent shut off after stopping at stop light and no start after parking.

The second day I woke up to a flat tire and had the brakes became incredibly hard to push, squealed like crazy and even failed to work when trying to stop at a red light and I slid into intersection.

At 60,000 kilometers the service engine light came on.

Update: Now with 100k miles, the auto stop/start feature has become "shut off at the traffic light and don't auto-restart". Again.

The engine light came on, I checked this with my OBD computer and it read cylinder misfire.

I’m now used to the eco mode when it turns off as  I’m stopped a light.

windshield

I have had a couple of problems, like the rear drivers side roof rack leaking and paint peeling around the passenger side windshield.

Some people have had water flooding in to their front A posts (by the windshield) up near the headliner and causing water stains.

Three days ago the brakes are doing the same thing, The windshield wipers drag and now the Ecoboost does not work.

Windshield has a leak on passenger side at the top, drivers side wheel bearing broke, another underneath shield has fell down in the back of the vehicle,  motor makes a loud clicking sound when idling.

Sun visors "useless" due size of windshield.

The "low washer fluid" alert doesn't come on until mid-trip, even when you haven't used the washers.

The windshield water sprayers broke after about a year.

I also think that both the A and B pillars are a little thick, and the dash sticks out a little further before meeting with the windshield which I thought hampered my visibility.

brake

i thought the front brakes went before the back ones.

Brakes checked at the same time and it still doesn't even need pads!

First of all he had to get the whole engine replaced which took like two months cuz they tried rebuilding it before, then the brakes stopped working.

Once you do that, all of the dash and interior lights are on for a full minute before fading out and you get a message that tells you that you have to have your foot on the brake in order to start the car.

but that?s on Apple), I?ve brought it into the dealer four times since purchasing in May 2017 for problems with the Hill Start Assist Brake, Sync and the back up camera interface.

The only thing I don't like is the car "powers down" if you are stopped more than 20 seconds, then powers back up when you remove foot from brakes.

The fuel saving feature of the engine shutting off at stop lights and restarting once the brake has been released is non- functioning.

transmission

Transmission went out just after 50k miles.

Leaks by the passenger door window have spent several dollars to get it fixed with no luck, at times feels like transmission slips.

How can a part take this long if there isn’t a major issue with the Transmission!!!???

but now the warranty has run out and now at 85k miles the transmission is starting to give me problems.

Transmission fluid changed recently (btw dealer quotes 350 popular chain did for 175) entirely fixed some hesitation issue that had come up recently.

Have to keep taking it to dealer to have transmission fluid added.

Occasionally a little hesitation from the transmission.

I purchased a 2017 escape and it 70,000 miles my transmission went out.

I have heard from Friends who've had Ford Escapes 2015 and newer, that there were transmission issues and if they have a sunroof that would be a lot of issues with that as well.

comfortable

I find it comfortable, even the SE is loaded with great accessories, and has quite a bit of room in the back.

Like the amount of room and it is comfortable vehicle to drive for long periods.

I love almost everything about it Heated very comfortable seats cameras everywhere auto park drives great lots of pickup spacious except The gas mileage is 18&#47;19

Comfortable for 6'2" man to drive 5-8 hours at a clip.

This compact SUV has solid safety ratings, has very clean and sporty body styling, and is very comfortable.

For being a compact SUV, this car is spacious and offers a great deal of comfort from any seat.

The Escape is roomy enough and comfortable, even on long trips.

panoramic

Love the cargo space and awesome panoramic moonroof!

The panoramic roof is definitely a good option to get.

This car is extremely comfortable for me and my passengers say it has a limo feel for them in the back with the panoramic roof.

feature

I would also recommend a blackout kit or option.

It has great heat and air performance, a sound and navigation system found in luxury cars, power everything, many safety features and even parks itself!

Still learning how to use all the features available .

I love the dashboard and options to see how many miles left until gas is needed and mpg.

car is great as every feature you can think of and plenty of room with heated seats and amazing speed and reliability.

Absolutely love love love all the features!!

It has excellent gas mileage and the extra amenities in my Titanium model was definitely a step up.

It has all the latest technology and safety features that anyone could want at a reasonable price.

ride

It is our now our main driver and rides better than the escape.

It gets great gas mileage and I can fit all my 4 of my grandchildren comfortably❤️ Smooth ride, it even has a CD player  , what a blast from the past😁

It drives like a dream as a recent widow I need a reliable car to get around and at 62 I am more then happy with my new ride

Especially road trips, it just hums along on the highway and the ride is tight

I am by myself most of the time or sometimes my buddy rides home from work with me.

Ride is nice as well and the seats are fairly comfortable (leather).

This car is exactly what I was looking for, plenty of room, comfortable ride and all accessories where within reach!

fuel

A 20 gallon (usable) tank would be greatly appreciated.

Gas mileage is not that good, acceleration is acceptable.

Very good gas mileage, 29 around town, 32+ highway.

Excellent Car great on gas very respectable choice room 4 passengers I already know it's going to be great on gas for road trips very comfortable

The fuel economy rating is very comparable to a much smaller vehicle we traded in.

Gas mileage is good at about 22 mpg, dual temperature controls, remote starting.

2018 Toyota Camry

but wears down quickly (expect 20K on tread before road noise becomes unbearable) and absolutely horrible  traction in snow.

2) The motor rattles like it needs a valve adjustment when idling, esp. cold.

Also, this is my first 4-cylinder engine, which I find to be somewhat noisy,

The chrome beauty rings on the speedometer and tach buzz at time, grab an move them  little and the buzz stops, a tiny bit of dense rubber wedged under the ring would likely stop it permanently,..on of these days, I'll do that.

Due to that, the car makes interior noise while stock g that is louder than I hoped.

but wonder how long it will stay that way. RATTLES.

Mostly quiet some wind noise on the highway Good highway gas mileage.

Road noise (in PA) is awful. Technology is unexpectedly terrible:  Dash controls actually are worse than last generation's (don't promote that engineer!)

but at some speeds there is some throttle lag and I've assumed that is again transmission related, again new it before purchasing.

The only complaint I have is the transmission; I have noticed the car up shifts prematurely to obviously save on gas.

The transmission was wonky and started to slip pretty bad

The manner in which the continuous variable transmission is programmed causes the car to hesitate, sometimes a lot, and other times not at all.After visiting various owners forums, I’ve discovered that this is a very common complaint about this vehicle.

When we purchased it, shift points were grossly wrong.

I wish I took it for a test drive.so far no luck with the dealer ship.tells me that's  how it is supposed  to shift.

the transmission, first off, I hate the 8 speed setup, it is constantly wanting to downshift, it is pretty much impossible to cruise in 8th gear at above 60 MPH, unless you are going downhill.

but I’m rather impressed by the engine and transmission performance.

Transmission shifts beautifully when using it manually, or when it?s left on automatic.

Will occasionally produce a huge jolt when shifting from park to reverse.

gear

Currently have 50k and seems like it 3rd 4th 5 the gear will vibrate bad at 40-55 miles and hour.

except the car isn't changing gears at this point.

Biggest complaint is that car seems to have trouble shifting into gear from as you begin to accelerate from 0- 15mph.

The gear changes are slow and accelerating the Camry soon after a slowing down is a terrible thing.

The get up and go from Toyota?s new 2.5L is surprising to say the least, the 8 speed automatic transmission shifts smooth and doesn?t have issues with searching for gears on inclines like many other sedans I?ve driven.

The transmission is horrible, shifting into higher gears too soon and requiring significant amounts of throttle to downshift and then, only after the transmission ?thinks?

My only drawback is it hesitates a little stepping on the gas dropping into a lower gear.

The 301hp engine while very powerful and responsive at higher gears and speeds, it is unfortunately somewhat sluggish off the line unless manually shifting.

failure

Currently getting "parking break malfunction" alert EVERY TIME I DRIVE ANYWHERE, which also means brake hold (which I don't really use) and cruise control are down.

Finally, constant warnings: "Secondary breaking&#47;collision&#47;LDA malfunction (check engine)" warning lights go on for a few days and then go off on their own.

I wont go into too much detail about the infotainment system, which is the other glaring failure in this car, at least in its current iteration.

radio

The radio does not stay on after you turn the car off, this is a huge deal.

to use radio you have to download and install software.

It is even difficult to tune the radio or to change the display.

I just wish the radio station selection was easier for the driver.

I ASSUMED it came with CD and XM radio..  NO it doesn't!!!

Cons of the car consist of a horrid Entune system that requires your phone to be connected to the car to play pandora/IHeart radio.

Specifically, it doesn't support the following apps, all fully supported by Android Auto: Google Maps, Waze, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Audible, Tunein Radio, as well as several messaging, audio book, and podcast apps.

This car meets all of my needs and wants (except for no CD player or SIRIUS radio).

The quality has lived-up to its reputation along with the comfort of a&#47;c and efficient interior heating in my upper midwest climate.

The interior is comfortable and looks decent.

The heated leather seats are nice and comfortable.

I’m a senior and don’t drive much anymore and was worried that I sooner comfortable with the Camry

Great visibility, comfortable seats, nice cockpit with a comfy leather wrapped steering wheel.

It has everything I want and It’s extremely comfortable.

I will be comfortable letting my teens drive it.

The Camry gets amazing mileage, very comfortable, smooth drive and I love the panoramic sunroof.

I love the sound of the engine and the option to drive in “eco, normal, or sport mode.”  The panoramic moon roof is so awesome.

Outside, the vehicle looks stunning especially when the panoramic moonroof is open.

You will also appreciate remote keyless entry, cruise control, a rearview camera, Smart Key, a panoramic sunroof, and split-folding rear seats.

Don't get me wrong, the seats are comfortable, panoramic sunroof is great, JBL sound system is a blast, nice looking 19" wheels, and so on.

Panoramic moonroof adds a luxury styling to the car.

Great sound system, and app features , along with the panoramic roof.

Lots of features for booster seats and the kids in the back like the panoramic sunroof, rear air vents, lots of cupholders with a pull-down armrest and there own LED lights.

There are plenty of safety features which are great;

Very easy to drive and has some safety features that can be turned on if you want to.

Driver assist package is awesome &#38; makes for a very safe feeling while operating.

This car has more features than I imagined

The safety features and bluetooth are great.

Beautiful lines on this car, smooth ride, quiet, great MPG and fantastic safety features.

I especially the interior and the various options on the dash.

with 3 options for the transmission you can choose which "performance" you want and all will still get you over 40 MPG  unless you REALLY abuse this vehicle.

But my experience with the 2018 Camry LE blows me away, first and foremost the gas mileage is amazing, the new styling is just gorgeous on the 2018 and newer years, and it’s the fun as all heck to drive.

but I’m enjoying the drive and gas mileage.

This is the best car I’ve ever owned extremely good on gas mileage I average 37 miles to the gallon and I drive mainly in the city it looks really good.

Next closest was a Honda Insight Hybrid, huge gas mileage, kick in the pants to drive

interior

The interior is nicely trimmed out, JBL sound system is very decent, seating is firm

I hated the way it performed had like a dead spot on acceleration car was very comfortable inside.

Silver white,red leather interior ,black glass roof, a gem of a looker.

I love everything about my new car inside and out!

Great styling, impressive interior, mileage better than EPA estimates which is refreshing.

Quality of interior materials seems good.

2019 Jeep Cherokee

Transmission can't decide which gear to select when accelerating from a slow speed which has gotten dangerous in a few highway entrance ramp situations; info system is weird to use - you need to turn the radio on first before going to climate, Nav, etc.

The transmission is really slow and seems like its confused and wasn't geared properly.

Hopefully just 1 bad part in the sea of transmissions.

There is a hesitation in transmission when I put my foot on the gas and the car basically doesn’t “go” for a few seconds.

Like break issues, transmission, and more .

After 45 minutes my wife took the car to go shopping and in less than a mile the transmission shifted to limp mode ONCE AGAIN and the ACC/FCW not available message popped up along with ESC and back up sensor faults.

I got my Jeep last May and it's been one issue after the next starting with the 9 speed transmission.

Just didn’t feel it could keep up with the bulk of the vehicle and it seemed to struggle with compatibility of the 9 speed transmission.

By exploded, I mean I was picking up shrapnel off the ground and transmission fluid was pouring out.

at the same time there was another issue of clicking noise coming underneath the car when I mentioned it to the guy at the reception, he said, "its ok this is a brand new car that should not be an issue because these cars are built like this.

For being a 4x4, the ride is very nice and you don't hear the tire noise from the more aggressive tires out on the highway.

Next, I thought a clutch fan was going out because of a rattle we would hear sometimes.

The engine is noisy and I found it under-powered while towing much less than the capacity rating.

Although most people dont buy Jeeps for the gas mileage, this new engine and trans paring is lacking the mileage as well as it's a bit noisy.

Road noise and ride quality were our main criteria.

You can feel the road and hear the noise a bit,

Brakes make loud humming noise while braking in forward or reverse.

You can adjust the radio without your hands leaving the steering wheel.

Radio won't store selected stations; radio volume  is erratic; NAV gets lost sometimes; backup camera is nearly useless at night especially if its raining; tailight lenses have water in them; it's just simply not a Toyota or Honda.

Pros:
- exterior styling
- interior styling
- interior comfort
- soft touch interior

Cons:
- buggy screen/control center (cuts in and out)
- radio (fm)  volume goes up and down while you're driving .

Radio is crap, dash lights coming on, I've had it 8.5 months and I can't get it worked on.

After 16 days the vehicle was finally diagnosed with a faulty radio and that was replaced and the car seemed to be running fine.

Have had the radio replaced which is unfortunately extremely common issue in Jeeps now days.

The two items I would prefer to be different are:   Why does the radio have to be "ON" before any information can be displayed on the screen?

The two items I do not like are the radio which MUST be turned on and left on (yes it can be muted or volume turned all the way down) before any of the screen information can be displayed.

The Jeeps software is out of date idk y they r selling it , no manual 4wd, the radio is faulty Cuts out , the car play won?t work , all these issues have been going on since the 2018 models now I?m stuck with a vehicle with faulty software

If you let go of the brake right when the engine shuts of, you stall.

It’s a very easy car to drive not like the Evoque, which took at least a month to figure out the very long turbo lag, and extreme grabby brakes.

All the features, including the fog lights turning on when I turn the steering wheel and being able to release the pressure of the calipers when changing the brakes, really make the car even more special!

The brakes are very bad and takes a longer time to stop, causing a major safety issue.

.i detest the feature where the engine stops when you brake for a stop.

warranty

But be aware that after the warranty is up it has a defect that might leave you broke down on the side of the road

And the warranty is too much problems as well .

Only issue I have is a moonroof that leaks a little in a heavy rain storm, taking it to the dealer to have that addressed under warranty.

(Replaced under warranty on 08/22/18) on 07/08/18 - 07/09/18 - 07/10/18 I ran into an issue with the transmission shifting hard and then displaying a message on the dash that stated ?service transmission, restart in park at zero speed?

This car meets all my needs, it is fuel efficient and very comfortable.

Great deal, nice ride and super comfortable.

So here is the run down so far : 

Vehicle is comfortable both on short and long trips , I’m 6”1 and it is surprisingly roomy.

This car is comfortable to drive and good leg room riding in the back seat.

really comfortable , so many great features!

We bought it for our daughter and we feel very comfortable with its reliability and safety features.

The inside is amazingly well put together and features like the panoramic sun roof and leather seats make it feel very luxurious.
