Hello Everyone, I just posted this to escape - city as well. My wife and I picked up our new Titanium edition on Thursday. Friday we noticed that the liftgate isn't alligned properly. Today we noticed that there is a water stain on the A-piller indicating that there is a roof leak. We decided to take it to the dealership immediately. On the way to the dealership MFT went crazy and started rebooting over and over. MFT is glitchy, but it had worked fine until today. Im curious if is related to the roof leak as it rained last night. Its funny, I've had a soft top Jeep Rubicon for 8 years. Its never leaked, but my new cars metal roof leaks. This is after waiting almost 2 months to get the vehicle. It sat in Kentucky for 3 weeks before Ford got around to ship it. I told the dealership that they can either refund our money or Ford can get us a new car. Monday i'm told the Ford rep is getting involved. I'm starting to wonder about the quality control at Fords Kentucky plant. Maybe this will be recall number 3? Btw. Other then the fact that the car is lemony fresh, we love it. We actually got 33mpg yesterday, admittedly driving it really conservatively. Its really nice inside, comfortable, fast and quiet. We really hope we can get this situation resolved.

Ok, so I know that I'm under 1,000 miles and that mileage improves once you break that barrier (or near it), but this is a little extreme. I'm getting 10.5-12.6 MPG. This is not only what the vehicle is calculating, but also (almost exactly matching) what filling the tank and diving gallons into miles gives me. This seems extremely low. I understand that initial mileage might be a little off the registered EPA estimates, but less than 50%? It's an escape 2.0L AWD Titanium. I know it's winter, I know I live in the City and that lowers mileage, but doesn't this still seem very low to everyone?

2013 Ford Escape Review: AutoBlog Auto Blog / Steven Ewing In the music industry, a band's third album is typically make-or-break. You start with the debut album, introducing the general public to the band's polished works, then comes the sophomore record, which proves whether or not the band can keep its fan base happy and gain more traction in the music scene. But the third album must show if that band's sound and style has a good enough mix of individual flare and mainstream appeal to keep them successful in the long-run. If you think about it, the same can be said about the automotive landscape, and for the purpose of this review, the Ford Escape. The first-generation Escape, launched in 2000 as a 2001 model, entered during a time when small SUVs and "cute-utes" were booming. The redesigned 2008 Escape built upon the first model's success, and now, as the curtain is about to close on that ruggedly handsome, boxy Escape, this new third-generation model has some mighty big shoes to fill.
