Some drivers have also reported electrical system issues in the hybrid model that can affect drive power\u2014and drivers of both the gas-only and hybrid models have reported weak brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Save yourself some money and hassle and go for a used, top-rated 2020 Escape instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2016<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transmission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steering failures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking a year off, the 2014\u2019s transmission issues resurfaced in the 2016 Ford Escape. SUVs in this model year also suffered from occasional engine and power steering failures. Adding insult to injury, drivers complained of extremely noisy brakes\u2014even when the vehicle was fresh off the lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2017<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Brake and engine issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2017 Ford Escape continued to be plagued by the uncomfortably loud brakes found on the 2016 model. In addition, the brakes would sometimes become hard to press for no reason. Add to this issues with the engine stumbling and stuttering, and you have another unreliable model year for the Ford Escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2014<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transmission<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By all accounts, the 2014 Ford Escape is the worst one out there because of its main issue: the transmission. Transmissions are exceptionally expensive to fix, and this model year experienced everything from minor issues to complete vehicle shutdowns because of the transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-jerry-key-takeaway border-primary flex flex-col rounded bg-gray-50 p-6 border-l-4\"><div class=\"flex flex-col md:block md:space-x-1\"><span class=\"has-primary-color text-lg font-semibold\">Key Takeaway<\/span><span class=\"text-gray-900 text-base\">The 2014 Ford Escape is one you should avoid at all costs.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"jerry-block-content\" contentclassname=\"text-gray-900 text-base\"><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-cta\"><div class=\"flex flex-col items-start gap-4 rounded-xl border border-zinc-200 px-12 py-8 md:flex-row md:items-center md:gap-14\"><div class=\"flex-1\"><span class=\"text-xl font-black text-gray-900\">Find affordable car insurance in minutes.<\/span><\/div><div class=\"flex-1\"><a href=\"\/signup\" class=\"bg-primary block w-full rounded-full px-14 py-2 text-center font-black text-white hover:no-underline\">COMPARE QUOTES<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2013<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Electronic and mechanical issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2013 Ford Escape was recalled 16 times by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The most common issues were with electronic systems including GPS, radio, and backup camera\/sensor malfunctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common mechanical issues included leaks, faulty catalytic converters, and exhaust system issues. Combined, these make the 2013 Ford Escape another model year to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2009<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loud engine noises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air and water leaks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Axle-bushing malfunctions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2009 Ford Escape didn\u2019t suffer from the 2008\u2019s transmission failures, but it added a plethora of other issues to the list of problems that Escape drivers have had to face. From disturbingly loud engines to poor handling due to worn suspension, the 2009 Escape is one to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2008<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problem points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transmission<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steering system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A\/C system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2014 model year had the most expensive complaint, but the 2008 Ford Escape has more complaints than any other Escape year.

Cylinder-deactivation features result in superior fuel economy in highway driving, but the model doesn\u2019t lack for performance with its turbocharged engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing? Ford made all of its award-winning driver-assistance features standard on all trims with this model year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Driver-assist features standard on all trims<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Expensive compared to previous model years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2019<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the 2019 model year, Ford made the Sync 3 infotainment system, keyless entry, push-button start, and one-touch power-windows standards on all Escape trims\u2014a move that added convenience to safety and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Increased standard equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Less fuel efficient than previous years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2015<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2015 Ford Escape is considered one of the best because of its impressive handling and powerful turbocharged engine options.
