Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Ford Escape is the newest model year in the federal record, which ends with 2024 data showing 74 complaints, 8 recalls and 142 TSBs. Compared with 2023, complaints fell from 94 to 74 and recalls dropped from 11 to 8, indicating a continuing decline in reported problems. The 2024 model also shows a reduced TSB count (142 versus 179 in 2023), suggesting fewer service updates were needed. The most frequently cited complaint categories for the target year are Unknown Or Other (4) and Engine, Electrical System, and Engine & Engine Cooling each with two complaints, but no crash or fire complaints were recorded. Because complaints and recalls have been trending downward through 2024, the 2025 Escape appears to be a comparatively low‑risk year to purchase, though buyers should still verify the latest recall notices.
