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.

power

It seems to be the result of having an engine that is not strong enough to power the weight of the car.

There’s plenty of power and good fuel economy.

Have lost all power once again after all those things were 'fixed'.

The Escape caught my eye when it was released because of the sportier contours of the design and the high predicted reliability rating from JD Power.

The Escape has the most power, spacious passenger room, plenty of cargo space, the best transmission, decent interior, and some tech you can't find in the competitors while paying a reasonable price.

lumbar

Has excellent room has the stamina to keep up excellent technology heated seats and lumbar support front and rear A/C fully equipped

Lumbar support makes it a comfortable ride.

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 Acura RDX

I had a popping noise with the lift gate as soon as I brought it home.

Took it back to the dealer and they couldn't recreate the noise.

Front brakes make noise and you can feel the abrasive rubbing.

Shortly after purchasing, I was driving in mildly damp conditions and I heard a grinding noise in the front end as I came to a stop.

White noise coming out of the speakers after the car has been stop for over half an hour.

More importantly, we also developed an issue with a loud popping noise from the panoramic sun roof that sometimes occurs when entering or leaving an elevated driveway or surface.

It feels cheap and unsubstantial; noisy impacts with road imperfections, uncomfortable seats all around and it  handles like crap with the steering going from completely numb to overloaded in turns with poor progression.

but remain disappointed that the brakes squeak every time that you start the vehicle until it warm up.

brake

Brakes also making noise like your rotors are bad from the start.

The brakes squeaked all the time at low speeds since the day we drove it off the lot.

Acura has known about problems with the brakes and electronics for two years and has no fix.

The dealer knows it is a problem so they changed out my rear brake pads.

First off the brakes started squeeking after 3500 miles which for me is unexceptable.

Purchased my new RDX less than a month ago and have had consistent issues with the brakes squeaking.

audio-system

Emergency braking system failure chimed twice and flashed warning lights on the dash.

This RDX has had major electrical and audio issues.

(While others may have complained about the touch pad system to operate multiple systems, once you get the hand of it, it's no big deal.)

The infotainment system is just fine- took just a day to get used to it.

Only minor drawback is the infotainment system (still new for me), some features not as intuitive as my 2015 CRV Honda (also miss the passenger camera with use of right turn signal).

however, the computer system is a huge disappointment.

After three months, I’m very pleased with all aspects of my RDX (except the speedometer) and the occasional system failure that prevents the steering wheel toggle switch from working properly.

failure

Also had a battery failure after 14 months.

Delearship told me that the battery needs to be fully charge in order to work and many other factors may cause this technology to fail.

tire

Unfortunately, Acura’s answer is cheap and shoddily upholstered leather seats where the leather is wavy and pulling and puckered along the stitches, has poor interior lighting, and delivers excessive road noise and tire roar.

Road noise, tire roar, and suspension noise are louder than my pick-up truck.

I personally do not like the run flat tires that come on the German cars

The AWD system is fantastic if you power out of a corner.

Love my 2020 Acura RDX, all the features are great, the ride is great, the engine power is great with the turbo.

Handling is nice and tight my first electric power steering.

The rdx was superb car i love the power the comfortness the styling and everything on the car.

The power is great, standard features outstanding and it's so comfortable.

The power band on this SUV will raise your blood pressure and place a ear to ear smile on your face.

I also love the seats, the 12 way power allows me to get very comfortable.

Style&#47;comfort&#47;power&#47;safety, the total package.

The RDX has comfortable seats, with lumbar controls.

I have issues with my back, so I find the car very easy to get in and out of and the lumbar is the best I’ve ever had in a car.

but we fell  in love with this classy style SUV when we drove it & saw all the awesome technology it had & all the room inside & the seats with the lumbar support felt great.

I have great pickup, comfy seats, seat heaters, apple CarPlay, Acura care, the the best safety features yet, &#38; most importantly great gas mileage.

It is just so comfortable and fun to drive.

It is so easy to drive, very comfortable, uses regular gas and looks nice too.

the interior and seats are very well designed and comfortable.

This car provides everything I was looking for— comfort, responsive driving, and lots of technology.

The ability to change handling settings from Comfort to Sport to Sport+ is a real positive feature.

I get 19- 19.5 around town in COMFORT mode, and 25 on the highway when I baby the thing!

Great value for the money, great warranty, extremely comfortable to drive.

The interior is very comfortable and the ride amazing.

The seats are very comfortable, the skylight is wonderful.

There are a lot better options out there for that money or even less.

This is my 3rd Acura vehicle a  2010 TSX, a 2017 TLX and now a 2020 RDX I have the Advanced package Best value for the money, best quality, best driving experience and Frank Leta Acura has the best service!! !

It is full of features and several thousand dollars less than competitors.

It is beautiful, absolutely wonderful to drive, and has lots of safety features.

I chose this model for the price, the look, the easy to use technology features, and my previous positive experience with Acuras.

This car has about every bell and whistle that you can imagine, including all of the safety features available these days.

Tons of great features, stylish, sporty, fun.

interior

Pros: Interior fit and finish matched and even exceeded my Mercedes (no rattles).

Fit and finish on both the exterior and interior is outstanding.

I like that it is smaller than the MDX, yet it still feels very roomy inside.

My favorite part about the interior is the screen and the push

The interior room has been increased over the previous RDX's I have owned,

The interior and exterior design, drivetrain, and electronics are well executed.

The interior is beautiful with the big moon roof, and great sound system

2020 Subaru Forester

Let down by rattles.. right door rattles and there are buzzes near the S pillar and headliner.

Engine noise excessive, gas mileage and acceleration substandard.

With just me in car it feels underpowered and strained to accelerate 

- for &#36;28k plus I’m shocked at the cabin noise.

I immediately was curious to find out about the whining from people about Auto/Stop start and lack of turbo! Well.

Engine noise is not up to other suv choices, wind noise unacceptable at speeds over 50 mph.

It is difficult to modulate smooth power delivery in stop and go traffic, or neighborhood settings, when you constantly need to vary vehicle speed between 15 and 30 MPH.

It has plenty of power to make it to the top of the mountain with ease.

The engine power is fine for commuting or road trip use.

Plenty of power for anyone with great gas mileage.

I'm writing this review to assure potential Forester buyers that in my experience the vehicle has plenty of power to do what its actually designed to do.

Willing to forego some horse power for the car that seems to do everything well.

I like it  because I have lower  back issues and the seats provide good lumbar support and there's lots of leg room.

I needed the lumbar support for medical issues and they have the trim that exceeds my needs.

I have some pretty bad back issues and need the lumbar support and the firm support of the leather seats to be comfortable.

Many of the safety related driver-assist features are very poorly implemented, turning them into a nuisance rather than an asset.

Car is comfy, has nice accessibility features, easy to drive.

Great technology, safety features, and modern cabin look and feel.

I like the all wheel drive feature better than front wheel drive.

Overall the cars have been excellent and we love the package and the orange accents on the vehicle.

Full of safety features, second Forester owned.

Excellent gas mileage, love the large sunroof, many safety features, comfortable ride, love the color, Jasper green, lots of room.

One thing, I would have chosen the touring model because it has a few other great features including a heated steering wheel

safety

Really good all around view and a strong sense of safety.

It is rated best in safety, best in value retention, and best in reliability.

Very impressive gas mileage, safety features, and we have been extremely impressed by fit and finish.

however the Convenience is very well equipped and comes with many top safety technologies.

It includes safety with StarPlus and Subaru standards that I found lower my insurance rates.

The safety features and quiet ride are amazing.

On the plus side, visibility from the cabin is excellent, and the interior is roomy and comfortable.

It’s peppy, quiet, and very comfortable.

Our 2020 Subaru Forrester so far has been amazing in comfort, ride, design, engineering, looks, and space.

Road trips are very comfortable and we find the seats to be very acceptable in that department.

Very smooth ride, comfort, vision clear in all directions.

It is very comfortable, has plenty of storage room, great off road capacity, and good ascension/breaking.

It's super comfortable, great on fuel, feels safe and has a great steering feel and even my 22 year old son/24 year old daughter enjoy driving it.

2019 Ford Escape

At about 1,200 miles the front right axle shaft failed, bearing, less than a mile of warning, stopped at a red light, of course one of the worst in town at lunch, and no power what so ever, like it was in neutral, thought the transmission had failed.

However the one i got gives me a sudden jerk when applying brakes, it happens only for 15 to 20 min after a cold start.Looks like the transmission has some problem.

Obviously we bought it twice, my wife loves the car despite the transmission and coolant problems we had with the first.

Another little problem is the delay in the ecoboost turbo engaging when shifting from the reverse gear to a forward gear.

Engine is noisy and you hear underbody noise.

Car stopped dead, lights flashing loud noises.

Bluetooth and the navigation system work very well and it has plenty of power.

Power liftgate is a big plus on this type vehicle.

I feel safe and enjoying the cars sports power and easy functions!

Comfortable, plenty of power with the turbo engine.

Much quieter and 4 cylinder turbo has plenty power and good fuel economy

The 2.5 liter is refined and quiet with adequate power @ 169hp for a senior like myself.

It is comfortable, roomy, has a ton of gadgets, good power going up the mountain, and looks very nice.

2.5 engine is very adequate power you really don't need the eco engine.

We love our new Escape, it is roomy and extremely comfortable, as the main driver I love the lumbar cushion and how it can be fitted to me.

I have back issues from time to time so the lumbar support adjustment is a great feature for me.

The lumbar support makes driving comfortable which I do a lot of.

Quiet, smooth ride, lumbar support, power leather seats, parking assist are all amazing.

Drove out west into Montana and was quite surprised by the comfort and lack of road noise.

Looking for good gas mileage and comfort.

I'm very satisfied with the comfort and performance of this car.

Style and comfort make this Escape one of the best vehicles I have ever purchased.

Ease of handling, well planned interior, great acceleration and very comfortable are great pluses for me!

This car is perfect for me comfort and sporty lots of extras make it fun to drive.My family loves it and I love driving it

My Ford Escape gets good gas mileage, rides great, and has safety features that make it a perfect vehicle for traveling.

Very clean inside, features are perfect and easy to navigate.
