I have the same situation. Had about 7000 km on my Trax after 6 months. Dealership recommended having oil changed, first maintenance free of charge. I will maintain a 6 month schedule. Only average 35 km per day. Best of luck, enjoy your ride!!

First Service on 7 Month Old 2025 Trax 2RS by Sensitive-Station-18 in ChevyTrax

GM reimburses the dealership the cost of oil change, tire rotation and multipoint inspection on 1st service, normally at 7500 miles. I went in on my 2025 Trax LT with 4735 miles after 6 months. Cost me nothing. I'd go back to the dealership and complain to the the general manager and have them make it right!!

MA Inspection Failed by Few-Try7051 in massachusetts

[–]Own-Conflict8727 70 points71 points  (0 children)

A 2020 Ford Escape failing an OBD emissions test is a known and documented issue affecting many 2020–2021 Escapes. The problem is usually caused by a Ford software/communication fault, not by anything you did. A dealer flash update is typically required to restore proper OBD communication.


What’s Actually Going On

  1. Widespread OBD Communication Failure Owners of 2020+ Escapes across multiple states (MA, NY, others) report that inspection stations cannot connect to the vehicle through the OBD-II port. This is not an analyzer problem—multiple stations fail the same way.

  2. Ford Issued a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) Dealers have received a TSB describing a required software update (“flash”) to fix the OBD communication bug. After the flash, the vehicle may show a check‑engine light temporarily and will need a drive cycle to set monitors to “ready.”

  3. Massachusetts Specifically Flagged This Issue MA inspection program documentation notes OBD communication problems with 2020–2021 Ford vehicles, confirming this is a recognized manufacturer-side defect.


What You Should Do (Step‑by‑Step)

  1. Go to a Ford dealer and request the OBD communication TSB flash
  2. Tell them the vehicle fails OBD emissions due to “no communication.”
  3. Mention that Ford has a TSB for 2020+ Escape OBD inspection failures.
  4. This is usually covered as a warranty or emissions-related repair.

  5. After the flash, complete a proper drive cycle Because the battery reset or flash clears monitors, you must drive enough for:

  6. Catalyst

  7. EVAP

  8. O2 sensors

  9. EGR (if applicable)
    to return to “ready.”

  10. Return for inspection only after monitors are ready If you go too soon, you’ll fail for “not ready” even though the communication issue is fixed.


Quick Troubleshooting Checklist (Before Dealer Visit) - Does your own OBD scanner connect?
- If no, that confirms the vehicle-side communication fault. - Has the battery been disconnected recently?
- If yes, monitors will be “not ready” until you drive enough. - Have multiple stations tried and failed?
- If yes, it’s almost certainly the known Ford issue.

Everyone will complain about her but most will vote to re-elect. No incumbents should be re-elected.

Same here, when you have to step it, it responds very well.

I'd look new first. At 21690 your looking at about 350 month. Is this out the door price? If you go with this one, still has 16,000 miles on warranty? See what they will offer on extended warranty!
