Therefore, there haven&#8217;t been widespread complaints about the vehicles of these years. However, the previous Ford Escape issues still exist in these models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many 2020-2024 3rd gen Ford Escape owners experience unstable transmission. The check engine light still randomly turns on. However, in a <em>Reddit <\/em>thread, Ford Escape owners think that this only happens on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Ford\/comments\/zqxz5x\/is_the_ford_escape_really_that_unreliable\/\">lemon cars<\/a> \u2013 and is not a widespread problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford Escape owners concluded that, for the most part, Ford Escape is a reliable car. However, as well-loved as it is, Ford announced that they\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motor1.com\/news\/684575\/ford-escape-getting-the-axe\/\">stop manufacturing Ford Escape<\/a> vehicles in 2025.

These are the reasons why taxi drivers and long-drive enthusiasts depend on Ford Escape. Though all Ford Escape vehicles provide those, one year stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to various articles and surveys, the most reliable Ford Escape year is the 2015 one. <em>Consumer Reports<\/em> ranked this year as \u201cabove average.\u201d Therefore, if you\u2019re planning on going on a long drive with your loved ones, you might as well drive the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/cars\/ford\/escape\/2015\/ratings-specs\/\">2015 Ford Escape<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have a little more money to spend, I personally recommend you also look into the 2019 Ford Escape; which <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report <\/em>ranks this Escape year <a href=\"https:\/\/cars.usnews.com\/cars-trucks\/ford\/escape\/2019\">8.3 out of 10<\/a>.

If not, coolant has the potential to seep down the cylinder walls of the engine. A costly defect if left unchecked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to affordability, the 2010 Ford Escape is the 16th (out of 40) most affordable compact SUV, <a href=\"https:\/\/cars.usnews.com\/cars-trucks\/ford\/escape\/2010\">according<\/a> to <em>U.S. News &amp; World Report<\/em>.

Hence the existence of the Ford Escape. However, there are some Ford Escape years to avoid buying as it comes with issues that can result in injuries and accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford issued recalls for defective transmissions and faulty bushings. Not only that, many Ford Escape owners complain about their check engine light turning on when there isn\u2019t a problem with their engine. But many of them are still reliable for city driving or off-road adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, to avoid these problems, have a car technician check your Ford Escape \u2013 if you already own one. If you\u2019re still in the phase of planning whether or not you should buy one, see first if that Ford Escape model is prone to the issues we enumerated above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Do you plan on owning one of Ford\u2019s most popular vehicles?
