CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2012 Ford Escape has an acceptable complaint history so far, with leaking rear window problems showing up as the main concern so far. NHTSA complaint data shows an early pattern of problems with stalling while driving.

Another concern is the 2012 Escape rolled onto its roof during an NHTSA side impact test so it only received a marginal side impact rating ... not good.

2019 My 2nd and final accident that totaled the suv was a head on collision. NO AIRBAGS deployed at 30 MPH. My SUV has been declared a total loss. This accident caused much physical damage to my chest wall.

I'm sick and tired of Ford getting away with products that needed to be recalled that they keep hush hush! . Many other owners of the ford escape 2012 have had this issue. I'm lucky to be alive.

It is not worth buying just don't!

2018 My first accident I was rear ended by "2" vehicles at a full stop. No air bags deployed. Everyone was hurt, BUT surprisingly the frame of the SUV withheld structure. If the freaken airbags would have deployed it would have saved one of my daughters from needing a new shoulder replacement.

2019 My final accident that totaled the suv was a head on collision. NO AIRBAGS deployed at 30 MPH. My SUV has been declared a total loss. This accident caused much physical damage to my chest wall.

Ford can not be sued unless DEATH has occurred. This is total BS! I will never purchase a Ford vehicle again in my lifetime! Screw you FORD!!! Profits over human life!
