I’ve got a 2013 Ford Escape in Toronto, and the transmission’s been finicky. Happens to a lot of folks here. Also, the paint chips easy. I’ve had them check it a few times, but it’s still an issue. Just keep those things in mind!
I’ve got a 2013 Ford Escape in Cali, and let me tell ya, it’s been a wild ride. Slapped on new brakes more than once - they gotta fix that mesh. My buddy had the ABS light pop out like crazy, it turned into a flash party on the dashboard. And don’t even get me started on the fuel pump drama. Ended up swapping it during the summer heat wave. But overall, fairly solid ride—just keep an eye out for the sneakier issues!
I’ve had issues with the transmission slipping if you’re in Kentucky, just like me. I’ve also heard brakes can be finicky up here in Vancouver. Just keep an ear out and schedule some regular maintenance. Heard it helps a lot!
I’ve seen plenty of 2013 Escape owners here in Texas complain about their check engine lights acting up—the faulty oxygen sensor seems to be a sweet thorn in folks’ sides. Had it on mine too, and it’s a pain! Also, heard the CVT transmission giving issues, like it gets finicky with shifting gears. Overall, it’s a decent ride but keep an eye on these hiccups!
