 Was hoping a "newer" car would be the best thing, definitely did not do research and got this car.... Worst decision ever made. SOOOOO many recalls, the engine needed replaced before the car even had 34k miles. NOT RIGHT. luckily it was covered under the warranty. Engine light comes on every month at least since owning the car. (8months) has been sucking down gas so much so you can watch the meter go down, cant take it to get fixed without paying since the engine light didnt come on for that problem, waste of money completely. I do not advise anyone getting this car 100 percent.  VERY DISAPPOINTED. I had a 2004 mazda van that ran smoother, and quieter and paid less in gas than this 2014 escape Only good thing about the car is the rear view camera and the heated seats, and the leather is comfortable, other then that, BAD quality.  No large adult can fit comfortably in the back seat also, way too small cramped and seats arent as comfy as the front.
