Topic: 2023 Ford Escape facelift

[EV-Light]

Escapes are unbelievable piles of JUNK.  99% of people that I see driving Escapes are women.  They just get sucked in on the cute appearance.  The amount of $$ that Ford spends on warranty claims and recalls on this POS is part and parcel to their current dismal balance sheet.

Not going to do a research paper on this but the below captioned is just the tip.

Outside of newer Hyundai and Kia products the Escape is truly awful when it comes to major issues. Engines, transmissions, heater cores…..all kinds of big problems. But the 2009-2011 models are solid and get nearly Toyota levels of $$$ on the used market.

I would say the whole product line of Ford, is junk. I can't think of a single decent Ford, now. The Slush box would make me run for the hills.

Must be why they sell so well!

Here's how to improve sales, attractivity of the Escape line-up:

1) Rebadge Bronco Sport as Escape
2) Transfer hybrid drivetrain, and give it awd. Standard.
3) Cancel what was the Escape.

Ford was giving people  money off the Escape I think for pre-orders on the Bronco if you cancel and got the Escape.. So Yes, They should just scrap it. Sales are down by 47%.
