The multi-function display (the screen that shows you, among other things, what gear you are in, how many miles to empty and your car’s mileage aka odometer) went blank on my car. There was a recall on this very item but both the dealer and Ford are saying because my VIN number is not on their list they can’t help me. I am looking at a potentially very expensive repair job. I cannot even throw up my hands and sell the car because I have no idea what my mileage is (the only place it was displayed in on the multi-function display.) What can I do?

The 2014 model was simply not a good year for the Ford Escape. With that said, below are some of the lesser-known problems for the 2014 Escape that you should know:
Apparently, many Ford Escape years have struggled with service brake issues – including the 2014 model. According to many reports, the Escape brakes would fail to engage at lower speeds (15 mph). In some complaints, drivers noticed a pulsating feeling as they applied the brakes. As the pulsating worsens, the harder it is to engage the brakes.
The 2014 Escape also has a problematic electrical system, resulting in issues ranging from annoying to downright dangerous. Many complained about the wipers not working at around 20,000 miles. In some reports, the dual-zone A/C unit tends to malfunction and turns on by itself.
Although you may not be able to avoid issues with any vehicle you own completely, there are plenty of ways you can prevent major issues upfront. The most basic defense against major issues starts with a thorough test drive and ends with a complete check-up by your local, trusted mechanic. If you take the due diligence necessary, you can pick up a 2014 Escape that will serve you well for many years.
Your second defense against picking up a car that is flush with problems is taking it to a trusted mechanic for a complete check-up. Even if you feel like there are no issues with the test drive, a mechanic will be able to either confirm that thought or detail any issues with the vehicle before you put down your hard-earned money. For a few hundred dollars, you gain peace of mind and guard yourself against any significant, upfront issues by bringing in an impartial third party. Any legitimate dealer or individual should have no problem allowing you to do this before purchase.
