CarComplaints.com Notes: The top problem trend for the 2014 Escape is transmission failure at around 70k miles.
This is relatively low mileage for an expensive transmission failure ($4,500 average to fix), but unless the trend becomes more established, we are only awarding the 2014 Escape our "Beware of the Clunker" badge for now.
I am adding 3 complaints at once as the first two times I just thought I had horrible luck. The second window issue I had with this vehicle was almost a year after the first. This time it was the rear side passenger window. Again, it appeared to have just shattered. There was no sign of vandalism and nothing missing from the inside of my vehicle. In fact, when I opened a different door, more of the glass crumbled out, which to me seemed like none of the doors had been touched until then. The vehicle was still locked when I went out to my vehicle that morning. It was parked in the same area in my back yard, but not the same exact spot. Since it was not the rear window like the first time, I again just replaced the window and filed my insurance claim.
