so i’ve been dealing with my 2012 ford escape awd and gotta say a few things are pretty annoying 
engine misfiring is a biggie, like i keep having to get it checked out. also, the transmission can be a pain, sometimes it feels like it’s gonna stall when i’m shifting gears, you know what i mean? it’s like it’s struggling or something.
and the electrical issues, man, the radio and dashboard lights keep flickering. its super frustrating but you get used to it. anyone else had probs with their battery draining really fast? mine does it outta nowhere. but the good news is, the dealer did replace the battery, which seemed to help for a while, until it started acting up again 
anyway, has anyone had trouble with the front suspension making noise? mine’s been creaking a bit lately when i hit bumps or turn tight corners. it feels kinda sketchy. plus, my friend mentioned something about AWD light popping up randomly. anyone know what’s up with that? would love to hear your experiences cuz i’m kinda lost. think maybe its somethin i should get checked soon?
I have a 2012 Ford Escape AWD in Seattle, and boy, the transmission issues can be a headache! I’ve heard from other folks in Canada too, same story about the throttle body going out. Some people say the AWD system acts funny in the snow—like it doesn’t know whether to be AWD or not! Great car overall but the repairs add up!

Living in Texas, my 2012 Ford Escape AWD had an actin’ up transmission. It would hunt for gears—annoyin’. Had to get the torque converter sorted. Heard from buddies in Canada their Escapes had similar issues. Just seems like a recurring theme. Rn’s pretty reliable now, though. Reason to keep it!

I’ve got a 2012 Ford Escape AWD here in Texas, and the transmission’s been a bit sketchy lately. Heard from a buddy on the East Coast about electrical issues, had some rattling sounds myself.

I’ve had a 2012 Ford Escape AWD 'way up in Canada, and let me tell ya, it’s had its quirks. The transmission seems finicky, especially when it went in for a recall a few years back. Also, the engine light popped on more times than I’d like to admit. Surprising how the battery seemed to die in the dead of winter. Overall, a solid ride, but these hiccups can be a bummer now and then.

I’ve been dealing with a 2012 Ford Escape AWD in Toronto, and jeez, transmission issues are a pain! It’s like it’s obsessed with slipping gears, and trust me, it gets real annoying—hit an uphill, and it bucks like a bronco. Oh, and the rear AWD setup kicks up dust everywhere. If it wasn’t for its space and fuel economy, I’d be switching models ASAP. Anyone else in my shoes?

Keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth ride.

In Cincinnati, mine 2012 Ford Escape AWD keeps acting up with the engine stalling randomly. I heard folks with the same issues mention transmission probs as well.
