 My 2013 Escape was purchased brand new.  As the sole owner for 30 months and 107,000 miles I was extremely disappointed with the this car.  I have owned a Ford car for 17 of my 27 years as a driver.  This Escape left me stranded twice due to phantom overheating alarms that were part of numerous recalls. The car was at the dealer for service more than 12 days of those 18 months.  All for recall issues.  Don't buy a Ford on their first model year.
