Risks, Common Issues & What to Check No car is perfect. Here are known concerns and things you should specifically inspect or disclose when listing this model. �� Known Recalls & Safety Alerts Rearview camera software glitch recall: Ford has issued a recall affecting certain 2021–2025 Escapes (including 2023) for a software issue that can cause the rearview camera image to freeze, delay, or not display when reversing. AP News 1 Fire risk recall on 2020–2022 Escapes: Some Escapes with the 1.5L turbo engine have been recalled due to cracked fuel injectors that may leak fuel, posing a fire risk. While 2023 is not explicitly in that recall set, it's worth verifying with the VIN whether your specific vehicle is impacted or whether software updates were applied. Car and Driver 1 Owner‑Reported Issues & Complaints Some owners report infotainment / connectivity issues, especially wireless Apple CarPlay glitches or freezing. Reddit A few report stiff driver seats or trim parts that feel plasticky or loosely mounted. Reddit In rare cases, there are reports of the engine stalling or overheating (particularly in extreme conditions), though those are less common and often tied to specific defects or leaks. Reddit What to Inspect During Listing / Test Drive Confirm the engine variant (1.5L or 2.0L) and whether it has AWD or FWD. Test all electronics: infotainment, connectivity (wired & wireless CarPlay / Android Auto), cameras, displays. Test drive under varying conditions (city, highway, uphill) to identify hesitation, noise, or transmission behavior. Check service history, especially maintenance on turbo, engine, and cooling system. Inspect body, trim, panel fits, interior condition, and ensure no signs of leaks or damage. Use the VIN to check for open recalls or whether the recalls (camera, fuel injectors) have been addressed..
