The cruise control itself works great but the switch placement is a problem. I have had trouble with the cruise control switch. I once broke the rear window on a trash bin due to poor visibility.Īnother problem is that the interior lights don't come on automatically when the door is opened.
The foot-activated trunk lift doesn't work as well as I would like I usually can't get it to even go! Also, since the "next" button on the steering wheel for the radio is also the decline button for phone calls, I have accidentally declined a few calls. If I opt to answer a call on my phone instead of via the Bluetooth, the car's radio starts playing while I'm on the phone. If I plug my phone in to charge it the radio automatically switches to my phone and starts blaring my current playlist. I have some complaints about connecting my phone. Our sedan has a bigger tank! So if you drive a lot expect to fill up a lot. As mentioned in my review, my Escape doesn't have a whole lot of power. I have owned my Ford Escape for about 9 months and it's already needed 2 recalls. So in terms of customer service for buying a Ford, I was disappointed. A different, nicer approach would have definitely been more appreciated. As I was 8 months pregnant at the time and still had a full-time job, this rubbed me the wrong way. They incessantly called me and harassed me telling me I had to come back in or they were going to charge me thousands of dollars. They hadn't gotten my signature on one of my rebates, so Ford wasn't going to reimburse them for it. I had some issues working with Ford when I bought the vehicle, though they seem to be more dealership related than all of Ford. The touch-screen display panel is easy to navigate. The search works really well to find restaurants or attractions nearby. I love that the car will read my text messages to me. I like being able to see miles until empty and a digital display of my speed. The look of the dash is appealing and the steering wheel buttons have been really handy. I like the vents in the back that have done a good job keeping my baby cool this summer. The climate control works well for us, since I am always colder than he is. My husband and I can both charge our phones at the same time. I like having multiple USB outlets in the front.

I also appreciate having the tinted back windows to keep the sun off my baby girl. The Escape was one of the few small SUVs he could fit in. This small SUV gets decent gas mileage while still fitting my 6'8" husband, me, our baby, our 2 dogs, and all of our baby's stuff! It's always a struggle to find a vehicle with enough headroom and legroom for my husband.
I am a happy new mommy in my Ford Escape! That has been quite an adjustment to my driving style! So far I haven't had any major issues with this vehicle and any complaints are minor. While the extra space is a plus, unfortunately compared to my Mustang I had before the Escape greatly lacks in get up and go. I was worried about how my dogs would do riding with the baby, so it's great to have a car that will accommodate my two cocker spaniels in the "trunk" while I can still see them to keep an eye on them without them being able to get too close to the baby. We can fit our daughter's exersaucer/jumper in the trunk with the full-size stroller folded up when we make a trip to grandma's. I can fit the diaper bag on the floor behind the passenger seat too! With a baby comes all sorts of baby gear. The car seat fits behind the passenger seat with a decent amount of legroom still left for a passenger. I wanted something cute, but practical and it has fit the bill.
The Ford Escape has been a great "mom car" so far. I had to trade in my Mustang because I was expecting my first baby.
