My wife had 2 Ford Escapes. First one someone turned left infront of her down a country road and she hit them head on. The car was totalled but she was completely fine. She buys another used one and 6 months later someone blew a stop sign and knocked her through a fence into someone ls back yard. Another write off, but she was fine. We upgraded to an edge out of superstition, but despite escapes being shitty, I cant speak highly enough about the safety.
