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.

On Saturday 9/24/16 I was at a red light with my foot on the brake. All of the sudden the car engine started accelerating and the car started lunging forward and I had to apply more braking pressure. When I realized the car engine was accelerating, and I was holding it back at the red light with more braking from going forward into the car in front of me, I quickly put the car into neutral and I heard it lunge out of the accelerating drive gear and into neutral. Once the engine reduced the rpm, and the light turned green, I put it back into drive and drove the last mile home without further issue. Went on line to see if other 2012 Escape Accelerating issues and saw one posted. Writing this the morning after the incident (now a Sunday) and I will be calling Ted Britt Ford in Fairfax VA. where I bought the car on Monday.
Unexpected Acceleration when at a dead stop in high traffic is pretty scary stuff and I was glad to be able to react quickly and shift into neutral before a major accident occurred with both my wife and I in the car and a very busy intersection.
