I’m loving my 2022 Escape SEL in Blue Grey Metallic. Got some nice tints on all the windows, and it’s sitting at 30k miles right now. Does anyone have experience with how many miles these usually go? 100k? 150k? Maybe even 200k? Not too familiar with how long Fords hold up, so I’d love some insight!
I’ve got a 2021, and honestly, I’m not too optimistic about its future. Had to replace the rear shocks at 45k miles, and then the front left stabilizer link went at 47k miles. The transmission? It’s terrible. Shifts are never smooth, and now it even grinds between 3rd and 4th gear.
I’ve only had mine for less than a year. Got it from a dealership, Ford Certified Pre-Owned ‘Gold Advantage’ with 27k miles on it. Fast forward 11 months and 24k miles of mainly highway driving, and I’ve already had two suspension problems. Now, the transmission is starting to show signs of real trouble. I’m definitely not holding onto it once the warranty is up.

Oh, and I almost forgot. Had to get the passenger door fixed because the welds at the hinges were cracked. It’s honestly shocking how poor the overall build quality is.

What engine do you have in yours? I’ve got a 2021 1.5L 3-cylinder, and I’ve hated driving it since the day I bought it.
@Caleb
Same, the 1.5L 3-cylinder. Are you dealing with the same issues?

Picked up my 2021 SEL AWD 3-cylinder with 33k miles at the end of March for my wife. It only lasted 52 days and 900 miles before breaking down. Ended up needing a new engine, covered by the powertrain warranty. No one could tell me what caused the hole in the side of the block. We’ve driven around 10k miles on the replacement, but it’s still a mess. The car shudders and shakes when coasting between 20-30 mph. Whenever the AC turns on or off, it lets out a loud squeak. Backing out of a parking spot makes it groan like some kind of mating whale, and when I accelerate hard, it makes this rumble-strip-like noise. Frustrating!
